    Lulas grelhadas (grilled squid)

    Excellent AUTHENTIC Portuguese food! Low-key atmosphere with a true Portuguese menu. Food was delicious and the portions were generous. The server gets bonus points for his recommendation of the bife a Micaelense....it did not disappoint with its savory molho (gravy). A hidden gem that made my difficult-to-please husband (because his mom is the best Portuguese cook!) and we will definitely return!

    The food is good & plentiful. The service was good, our waitress was attentive and recommended dishes. We started with calamari its was good. I had a steak with round fries. My husband had shrimp Mozambique with pasta which he enjoyed.

    Shrimp Mozambique/ creamy sauce and Shrimp Croquettes. Mozambique sauce is an excellent dipping sauce with any veggies and fries, SAVE IT !

    Cafe Mimo has quickly become my go-to Portuguese restaurant. I have enjoyed their daily and "lmited-time special" dishes. I would like to add another " new favorite " that is also available as a "limited- time special" , Manny Branco Pork Chops. My wife and I started our night with Shrimp Croquettes and Shrimp Mozambique with creamy sauce for our appetizers. Both dishes are excellent and the croquettes are homemade. A crispy outer shell with fresh shrimp and a delicious creamy sauce inside. As a guest exclaimed that we introduced to the croquettes on a different night, " These are to die for!". A great start for our main course. My wife ordered the T- bone steak and I was overjoyed to find that the forementioned pork chops were still available. I do not regularly buy pork chops or chicken at ANY restaurant for a very important reason, " I do not enjoy dried out meat ". Period. But I felt adventurous one night and the pork chops were recommended so I took a " leap of faith". I am so glad that I did. The pork chops ( 2 to an order) are served in a tangy sauce with red peppers that are cooked to perfection ! Words cannot describe how delicious this dish is. My wife was very satisfied with her steak and we didn't waste any time devouring our meals. Once the plates were empty and our attentive waitress asked if we were having dessert, we have what has become our traditional dessert and the perfect compliment to our excellent meals, two Expresso Martinis. We have both become connoisseurs of these cocktails and I am not exaggerating when I state that Cafe Mimo has the best ! If you know, you know. I will continue to be a regular customer at this fine restaurant and I will let you know when I find my " new favorite" .

    Pork Alantejana after two people had been served... huge portion!

    Picked up takeout, food was delicious, huge portions. Pork alantejana was huge. Steak was cooked perfect. Will order again soon! Kale soup was still hot when I get home.

    Pork dish !

    Good food that's cheap and affordable my girl just brought me home the pork alejana dish and she really enjoyed her bife a casa as well !! So that's the reason for 5

    Being in New Bedford there are a multitude of good Portuguese restaurants. This being one of them. Located on 'the ave', there is usually always parking within one block of the area. The bar section is usually filled with loud Portuguese guys more than likely just out of work and arguing soccer but that just ups the authenticity, an I right? The food is great, at least on my experience. I almost always go with a steak because the sauce cannot be beat. I especially love coming here for a lunch of a steak sandwich with fries and a beer. Always good and very reasonably priced.

    Love mimos

    Not 5 star best but still good enough love Mimo's best Portuguese place I had so far xoxo

    On a Saturday evening my 6:00 reservation was definitely needed. The place was full and even the…read moretwo open seats at the bar when I arrived soon filled. I was escorted to my table and was soon greeted by my waiter Ethan who brought bread and the menus. Bread was just mini white loafs, exceptional only for its absolute freshness. So many places have done away with table bread so this was very much appreciated, but it was way too much for a single diner. The mostly Portuguese menu had much to choose from. I got the Pasteis de Bacalhau appetizer (codfish cakes). The 8 small-sized cakes had a subtly crisp golden brown exterior and a filling that was light in both texture and flavor - less salt cod than in some others would be my guess. This was served with banana peppers and black olives over a bit of lettuce. I liked them but felt a sauce of some sort would have elevated them. I used Red Hot from the table. The entree section was very heavy on the meats, particularly steaks of which there were 8, sirloin, shish ka bob, filet, and t-bone, prepared in a variety of ways. I didn't want a steak and, being in a Portuguese restaurant I wanted something more obviously Portuguese. So I went to the seafood section which was also extensive and found Swordfish Alhinho Style. I asked Ethan about it who replied confidently and correctly that it was a lemony sauce made with a lot of garlic and it is served over the fish which is grilled. Which was exactly correct. He was a great waiter in all respects. The dish was the swordfish, boiled halved potatoes, and broccoli. The fish was generously covered with the lemony garlicky gravy, the garlic in large chunks making up maybe 1/2 of the volume. There was plenty enough left over for the potatoes, which I liked for being just boiled and sliced, not mashed. The only flaw was the broccoli. I'm not sure but it tasted frozen, not fresh. That's a shame because there was a lot of it but it wasn't worth eating. So both the appetizer and entree were very good, and representative of Portuguese cuisine. Not innovative or special in any way but this isn't that kind of restaurant. It's upscale but not "fine dining". You can see that in the table settings too: the napkins are white cloth but the placemats are the paper kind with advertisements on them. But it was a nice atmosphere in spite of the Keno machine and many televisions, and the noise level was moderate. The cocktails used mostly standard brands like Bacardi and Stoli, with a few unusual liqueurs added in. I had a Portuguese Cha Frio (Iced Tea) made with Stoli Citron, Licor Beirao (a Portuguese liqueur), unsweetened tea, and lemon. I liked it and it seemed strong enough. The wine list included a few Portuguese ones by the glass. I didn't think my wine very good but I wanted to stick to the Portuguese theme as much as possible. I liked that it was brought in a carafe that still had some left over after Ethan poured my first glass. The espresso was perfect. No disagreeable sour notes, just pleasantly and slightly bitter, an aroma slightly fruity. As for desserts, I don't think they are made in house, and they aren't particularly Portuguese. My cheesecake (was it Crème Brûlée flavor?) was good, with a semi-dry texture, a layer of caramel on top, and a drizzle of something underneath. So overall I was pretty satisfied with Nuno's. 4.5 stars really. To get that 5th star from me they'd only have to improve the broccoli and add ethnic desserts made in house.

To start, we shared the Shrimp Mozambique appetizer: it was big (about 10 shrimp) and the Mozambique sauce was tasty and just spicy enough. For my meal, I ordered my most favorite meal at David's: the Special Seafood Pasta. It's only on the "Specials" menu, and it FANTASTIC. Big scallops, lottsa shrimp, and some surprisingly large chunks of lobster. LOVE IT!!!

    I've been to this restaurant before and had a great experience, but unfortunately, this visit…read moredidn't live up to those expectations. Both the food and service was underwhelming today. There was a large event happening in a separate room, but in the main dining area, only two tables were occupied...ours being one of them. Our waitress took our drink order fairly quickly, but that was the last bit of prompt service we received. We waited about 30 minutes before she returned to take our food order, and only after we reminded another staff member. We didn't get our appetizer until over an hour after arriving, although I will say the linguica clam fritters with the chipotle dipping sauce were absolutely delicious. Our entrées came out about 15-20 minutes afterwards. I ordered the French meat pie and enjoyed it, but everyone else at the table had complaints about their meals, the Alfredo sauce was apparently a letdown, it looked extremely watery. On the other hand, the chicken alentejana was extremely dry. We didn't bring any of these issues to the staff's attention, so I can't speak to how they would have handled it. However, the overall service was disappointing. Our waitress and a few others were visible throughout the visit but not attentive by any means. We even had to go up to her ourselves to ask for boxes and the check. Unfortunately, this visit didn't reflect the great experience I had in the past, I'm not sure if I will be back as this place has seemingly gone downhill.
