    If you are looking for a super late night spot for Spanish style burgers then this spot will be your main bet. Tiny indoor with table seating in the middle of nowhere (the hood). At least it's made fresh to order.

    Amazing, visited NJ/NY for my birthday from Houston. This was my last meal before I flew back and all I can say is that's it's been my favorite out of everything I've tried. It's always the hole in the wall looking places that hit the most. Everyone was nice and the food was delicious. Would love to have this back in my hometown.

    If u don't eat steak or pork this is not the place for you or If u don't speak Spanish or Portuguese just keep walking. I stopped by this restaurant because my co worker wanted a chicken sandwich from here. Apparently they are known for their unique sandwich's that has the small potato sticks in it . But in his opinion the chicken sandwich was just mediocre. I ordered the veggie Brazilian wrap which is actually a pancake with sautéed veggies it in . But the taste pattern is very weird and there were barely any veggies in the pancake. The staff is rude and barely speaks and understands English. They were struggling trying to take my order! Waste of my time & $10.

    Casual 24/7 eatery with good quality and fairly nutritious options for how casual it is. Very good portion sizes for the price. Quality is consistent. Limited seating inside (pre-COVID) and seating outside (is appropriately socially-distanced during COVID). -16. Da Hora sandwich: egg, bacon, ham, hamburger, chicken breast (unbreaded) and steak. Very good portion for the price. Will fill any gal and even guy even with a large appetite. -Bolo de nozes: white/vanilla cake with thick pudding-type filling with walnuts and lots of fluffy frosting (a little more than my liking as it was quite sweet after a while). Very good. Would def recommend. Would feed 2 or more (or 1 dessert lover like myself slowly paced, lol) -french fries: too skinny for my liking (McDonald's thickness) and initially came out cold but the waitress did not hesitate to exchange them when we told her. Would highly recommend for a casual meal when you have a large appetite or after a night out.

    I wanna start off by saying I love this place! I've been coming here since I was a child and every time I introduce this place to someone new they always end up loving it. The food is always amazing no matter what Brazilian salgado you end up getting you'll never be disappointed wether it's the coxinha, kibe , esfiha, pastels it'll always been good! The staff is always super friendly and very attentive, always making sure you're taken care of and satisfied. It's a really good environment overall! Best place in the ironbound to get Brazilian salgados hands down!

    This is a staple for the local students. It's cheap food that is quick, generous in portions, and cheap. They're open late night so naturally it is popular with the students. As someone who is no longer a student, I'm not sure I'd come out of my way. I'm not knocking the classics but I think once it's definitely more of quantity over quality situation. They have a variety of latin-style burgers and fries and drinks. The restaurant is located in the heart of Newark so be careful with where you park. Tip: They are well known for their banana slices in their sandwiches.

    I enjoyed the sweets at Altas Horas! The Brigadeiro cake was my favorite. I visited Altas Horas a few weeks ago about an hour & a half before Newark's curfew (8 PM) went into effect so they were wrapping up for the evening. Luckily everything I ordered was already made and sitting behind the glass. I ordered a slice of Brigadeiro cake, a slice of Carrot Cake, 2 Brigadeiros, and 1 Coxinha (breaded cone-shaped fried chicken) all for about $17. They did not have any Pão de Queijo left which is understandable given the time but they did have other Salgados (savory fried foods) available. Brigadeiro cake- It was my favorite. It's a chocolate cake with layers of chocolate condensed milk and chocolate sprinkle icing. The slice of cake was huge! It took me 3 occasions to eat it all. The cake was moist and a little wet which reminded me of Tres Leches. I recommend! Carrot Cake- I'm a big fan of Brazilian Carrot Cake especially because of its liquid chocolate icing but this cake was not good. The cake was so hard. It had the consistency of cornbread- super dense and pretty dry. I ended up throwing my slice away. Brigadeiros- Very good! Brigadeiros are balls of condensed milk and cocoa powder rolled in Chocolate sprinkles. The ones at this bakery are huge so 1 Brigadeiro is plenty. Coxinha- Another Brazilian delicacy. My husband really enjoyed it.

    The 24-hour Altas Horas offers the hugest, craziest Brazilian sandwiches around the clock! Our server at this local, casual restaurant only spoke Portuguese, but it was immediately clear what we wanted to order. The Da Hora sandwich was labeled on the menu as "The Biggest of Altas Horas" and came with a hamburger patty, grilled steak, grilled chicken breast, a fried egg, and bacon and mozzarella cheese wrapped in ham, along with lettuce, tomato, corn, and potato sticks, all in a soft bun. This was an incredible-looking monster of a sandwich, but disappointingly, all the grilled meats were rather dry and flavorless. However, the server brought over several housemade sauces, including a creamy molho verde (green) and molho rojo (red), which added nice flavors to the sandwich. We also ordered the Salada de Frango, a salad of lettuce, tomato, onion, olives, and hearts of palm, all topped with a generous portion of grilled chicken. Again, the meat was rather dry and flavorless, and the vegetables weren't as fresh as they could be, but everything here made for an incredible value meal nonetheless!

    I was craving this certain type of sandwich so I found myself here. The place itself is small so don't expect a lot of seating. It sits on the corner and is in the ironbound section of Newark. My waitress was bilingual but my friend who is Brazilian ordered for me because she speaks Portuguese. The food came out very fast and tasted extremely fresh. They also have cakes and desserts on display. I was too full to try any but they looked good. The only downside to coming here is the parking situation . Street parking is hard to come by especially on the weekend. Expect to walk a little while.

    Always a good meal when you eat here. Have been going there for years & when it's not too packed after a night out it's a must go to spot. All their burgers are delicious & so are the shakes. Service is good & you'll always leave extra full.

    It's a rings of affair!

    I have traversed this good realm for a good moment, and I'm proud to say that I found an establishment that understands how to make good steak in this area. For the price, this place gives you an outstanding burger with enough contents between its buns to slay an average coyote. When I ordered my "X-Fominha", I was immediately in Wolverine mode. Any word that is preceded with an "X", I know you have to be X-Men ready. So, there I was in my yellow spandex, and I realized that I had taken the "X" too literally. I did not care, I spent three hours donning an outfit that was two sizes too small for me. I'm dressed for the occasion damn it, I ain't leaving without my burger. Now, I waited for a few minutes to get to the front of the line and Sabertooth decides to crash through the front window, it must have been confused by the mirror wall, so he charges at what he thought was me, and ended up knocking himself out. I offered a slight pause of concern, then ordered my X-Fominha. Now, let me describe this to you, if there was a Beast, and not like X-Men Beast, this thing was it. When they handed me my burger, I knew I was dressed for the occasion. A lady looked over and offered her sympathies, BUT SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHO I AM. This burger had Bacon, Ham, Egg, Potato Stick Fries, Sirloin Steak, Corn, Tomatoes, and enough lettuce to count for a cheating vegan. The Sirloin Steak was handled professionally, it was not hard to chew into it and the mountain of other ingredients I named previously. They also provided some special sauce which corresponded brilliantly with the sandwich. At this point, Sabertooth became jealous and attacked me in a rage. I smote his ass and finished my burger on his body. I left satisfied and still had money left over for some late night festivities. Even the woman in the establishment who cast me a look of sympathy, now looked at me with respect that I know I deserved. 4 stars for my Brazilian brothers and sisters. You guys made me feel like a hero.

They had a wide variety of food, all ranging from beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and some vegetarian options. They had an extensive wine menu, and my boyfriend joyfully enjoyed a glass of wine. I got the brazilian fried chicken, which was extremely flavorful, and i was surprised there wasn't any breading on the chicken as typical fried chicken does. I much preferred the no-breading style, which I think is the Brazilian way. I would have preferred a boneless dish, as there were quite a few pieces with bones, and it was pretty oily at the bottom of the dish. It came with two very large sides, and totaled around $25. 100% would recommend this dish, but I do think at a lower price point, this could make do with just one side, instead of two, as the main dish was quite large enough to fill me up. My favorite part of this meal was the garlic butter bread that they provide for free. It comes out extremely fresh with lots of chopped up garlic, which is my favorite part of garlic bread. It was a great way to start the dinner off. The service was great and the waiters were extremely attentive. They regularly checked up on how we felt about the food and filled up our drinks. The restaurant was pretty empty while we were dining, but the space was laid out very nicely and the decor was beautiful. Would come again if it wasn't so far!

The Mixed Meat option had several different preparations of beef and a sausage served with a salad, french fries, and white rice. It was a generous portion of meat in a large plate. For dessert we all had the Serradura (Portuguese Sawdust Pudding) which was made with a meringued cream, whipped cream, and crushed cookies mixed together. Very delicious, not too sweet and not too filling. All around there was brick, stone and solid wood. I felt like I was in what I imagined a restaurant in Portugal would be like back in the day. The servers were friendly. I gives me the sense that it is a good place to have a range of events - from a business lunch to a celebratory party.

You make your plate, weigh and pay about $10 per pound. My feijoada plate from the attached picture had a little less than a pound so I paid around $9 which is a great deal especially if you compare to other restaurants in the area. The restaurant is somewhat small, simple, but there are enough tables for everyone even during lunch hours. Staff is friendly, they give you privacy to pick your food without anyone bothering you, food is tasty and the variety is ok. I wish they had Brazilian barbecue similar to other restaurants in the area but I can't really complain because the food and price were great. Compared to other Brazilian restaurants in the area this place has a big advantage because the process is very simple. Other restaurants such as Casa Nova, Cantinho Mineiro, Delícia de Minas also offer a buffet option but their process is very complicated. They have a prix fixe option for a set price and then if you add meat it's a different price, if you want to take something to go you need to pick a prix fixe container for a different price. It's just too confusing and I don't really like that, hence my preference for this Brazilian buffet restaurant. Don't expect any luxury or lots of variety. This is a practical restaurant offering food for a fair price. I definitely recommend it. Note that there's just street parking and the Wilson Ave area tends to be busy so keep that in mind.
