Steal of a deal & the portions are huge. I enjoy some take-home. My usual is the pork loin sandwich with peppers & garlic. Largest side of fries you've ever seen & the best soup, hands down for about $20. Another steal & authentic. We just love it here. I'll have to make he trek to FR myself to soak up the ambience.

It was our first time to Fall River so we googled for a place to stop for lunch. We found…read moreMarisqueira Azores Restaurant closed for vacation, so we googled for another Portuguese option, and headed off to Caravela Family Restaurant. They have a limited menu, so two of us ended up ordering the same thing - the Surf & Turf $23 (our signature thin pounded steak in our house sauce with garlic and a red pepper. Served with 5 shrimp Mozambique, 2 fried eggs, rice and fries.). While the third went with the steak plate. The menu stated a $2 plate sharing fee, but we don't remember being charged for a mom and child sharing an order. The sandwich sized rolls that arrived as a bread course were room temperature and came with butter. Service was great. Portions were more than enough, though the seasoning wasn't to my taste

The food is authentic, the patrons were all speaking Portuguese and the portions are generous. Priced very competitively, maybe even less than others given the quality of the food.

We also got one of the best Carne Alentejana I've ever had, including in Portugal. Pan fried pork chunks with little neck clams and fried potatoes in a savory sauce topped with peppers and olives.
