Great place for tasty filling Portuguese food. The combos are amazing. Always take out leftovers. Fast service & very attentive. A bit noisy because of small space.

If you enjoy grilled octopus, you must go to Aquinta. The food is all amazing, & the owner, the staff, awesome.
You may have to wait for a table a little, because it always gets busy, but it's absolutely worth it . I wait, when I don't reserve on line cause I know I'm gonna enjoy my food.
I definately recommend for Grilled Portugese food.

The food is very tasty, & the chicken is absolutely delicious. The customer service is also very good.

A small issue was the Aperol Spritz, which was quite disappointing, but that does not take away from the quality of the food.
I wouldn't recommend that particular drink.

We were seated outside, & some customers nearby were smoking marijuana with a vape pen, which was a little bothersome, at least for me.

Other than that, everything was great.
