“ I read a few negative reviews about this joint that sparked my interest.......first off.....its a hole in the wall and for those in the know, the best food can be found in these hidden gems. I spent a few nights in New Jersey and this restaurant was five minutes away from my hotel......long story short, the grilled beef and chicken were so lush.....bullock tingly good. The rice and steamed vegetables were just average.....but the meats......THE MEATS......super lush......if I have to do this trip to New Jersey again......this will be my first stop......lest I forget the place was run like a well oiled machine.....staff were brief but polite, the grill master was in sync with the young man marinading the meats, then the final product was passed on to the pickup counter where it was carefully wrapped and delivered to my waiting hands.....nuff said get yours..... ”

“ AMAZING!!! I meal prep and needed something quicker than my usual cooking (2-3 hrs for 4 days worth of food). I decided to try Algarve - $20 for an entire chicken, a HUGE side of steamed vegetables and about 3 cups of rice. This is officially now my go-to for quick meal prep!! And SO DELICIOUS! ”

“ To me, this is the best Portuguese BBQ in Elizabeth --price-for-pound-for-flavor. What does that mean? For what you pay, what you get, and how it tastes; Algarve's the best. However, note that my experiences are only through the take-out. The chicken's usually moist, the ribs tender, and the pork just absolutely delicious and amazing. Try it out and judge for yourself. This is my go-to whenever I'm starving, in need of feeding 4-5 people for under $20 and not compromising one bit on flavor. ”
