So disappointed by what i got. This is supposed to be bife à portuguesa. It came with no egg I also kindly asked to add extra giardiniera but no sign of it either. what is supposed to be a garlic gravy taste more like straight oil. The potatoes were justtoo bad to eat and not to mention the steak was supposed to be medium, but is was more burn than anything.The person who handed me my order literally just threw it at me spilling all that oil in my clothes gave me an attitude when i asked for hot sauce.food was colder than the north pole. When it shouldn?t have been since i picked up my order exactly 15 mins after i placed it.Lesson of the day always check ur food before leaving the restauran...
I was very disappointed with my experience at Portugal Express. I ordered the bife à portuguesa, but it arrived without the egg that was meant to be included. I also asked for extra giardiniera, which was missing. The garlic gravy tasted more like oil, and the potatoes were inedible. The steak, which I requested to be medium, was overcooked and burnt. Additionally, the person who handed me my order was rude and spilled oil on me. The food was cold, even though I picked it up just 15 minutes after placing my order. I've learned my lesson - always check your menu items before leaving the restaurant to avoid disappointment.
A delightful hidden gem in Elizabeth, Portugal Express is a corner bar and restaurant that our family frequently visits. This charming establishment is family-owned, and Inez, the restaurant manager, is incredibly warm and always greets her regular patrons with a smile. The daily specials attract a crowd, making it a popular spot. However, parking can be tricky due to limited street parking options, especially as it’s located right off Route 1 and 9. The prices are fair, and the portions are generous. Update: Some things have changed, and regulars will notice the differences. Overall, it's still a great place to dine.
The restaurant did not feel welcoming to the LGBTQ community. While I can't place the blame on the staff, the older clientele definitely contributed to an uncomfortable atmosphere. I visited on a Saturday night, waited for a table, and unfortunately had a really unpleasant encounter with another customer, which led me to leave right away.

The service was very good. The food was very good and plenty, prices were reasonable. The table arrangement is a little tight but I didn't mind that at all. Definitely will make this place my go-to again. On-street parking only.
I arrived at the restaurant without any particular expectations, but unfortunately, my experience did not meet my hopes. I ordered the steak, and it was disappointing—watery and not cooked to my preference.
The chef truly excelled, and the food was incredible! However, the customer service left much to be desired. The overall service was inadequate, and the bartender, Susana, was rather impolite.
The food was enjoyable, and while the service could be improved slightly, it was still satisfactory. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. I recommend giving it a try!
