    Pork Ribs and Chicken combo.
    Natalia Z.

    Best pork ribs ever (and I've tried a lot of restaurants). Chicken, fries, rice and beans were delicious too.

    I just went to Costa's 2 days ago last time was 2 weeks ago and the food still taste the same. It sucks it has no taste look at this picture I bought the same things in ShopRite call your brand and it taste better when I cooked it For the price they charging you ridiculous I don't know how these Colombian restaurants are staying open has no flavor there's only three of them and Elizabeth that tastes good worth the while to go to. I don't know how people are going to fight four stars. Don't waste your time going there. I called Nana can of black and beans from Gloria it taste better than what they cook and the fries ‍

    This is your typical Portuguese BBQ restaurant. I entered through the takeout section of the restaurant and ordered half barbecue chicken with vegetables and boiled potatoes. Chicken was very tough with no seasonings. Even salt was very limited. Vegetables were watery with no seasoning and so were the potatoes. I tried to put oil and vinegar to just to see if it would add on taste and it was still bad. Chicken was so tough I had to throw it out. What a shame I was looking so forward to enjoying my dinner as I had worked all day and I was starving. I'm not coming back here that is for sure.

    They honestly have the best Portuguese take out around but I recently found a hair on my beef rib and and a little hesitant to go back for a while.

    So in case you didn't know Costas now has a restaurant side to it ! It's really nice and they even have a cute outdoor seating area. I came on a Monday for dinner and as expected it was pretty much empty . My friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant ( of course the BBQ side was pretty busy as usual) . The waiter was very nice and brought us bread, butter and olives to the table . I ordered the picadinho mixto and my friend the grilled beef ribs . My picadinho was good but I've had better . Felt like the sauces was missing flavor . As for the ribs my friend liked her dish . I definitely plan on going back maybe on a weekend and try other plates

    Half order of pork ribs with baked potato (2 whole potatoes!) and broccoli sides.

    Saw this place had good reviews online and got takeout. Ordered half an order of pork ribs with baked potato and broccoli as sides for $12.50. This is a huge amount of food! There are 2 full baked potatoes in there and a lot of broccoli. I ate half of this and was full. Ribs were tender and juicy and potato was soft and buttery. Insanely good at the price point =)

    We ordered the family combo for takeout, and it was delicious! There was enough food for 4 people,…read moreand it was piping hot.

    I really miss Portuguese BBQ in NJ from when I used to work in Newark, but rarely come out this way…read moremuch anymore. BBQ joints dotted the landscape in the Ironbound neighborhood. But I found Long Ave BBQ on a Yelp search and on a trip back on I-78, I took a detour through Hillside to pick up dinner. The place reminds me of all the hole-in-the-wall places in the Ironbound with stainless steel covering everything, a brick pit charcoal grill and a giant ventilation hood sucking all the smoke up through the chimney and the whole neighborhood smells like BBQ. One innovation I see is that they use a motorized grill basket system that's constantly turning a bunch of grill baskets with chicken & ribs sandwiched in them. After perusing the menu, I order the Parrillada Portuguesa, a huge family meal for 6 people, that'll last my little family of 3 for 3 days. The PP comes with grilled chicken breast, a half chicken, pork ribs & cross sliced beef short ribs (Korean LA Kalbi style). The slices of chicken breast are too dry and with not a lot of flavor, but the pork ribs have that Ironbound Portuguese charcoal flavor I miss so much (even though a few ribs were a little tough to chew). The BBQ half chicken is alright, but not as much flavor as Peruvian rotisserie style and the short ribs are not as good as Korean style. I think they should do whole beef ribs Southern style, low and slow or even a whole beef brisket would be great. The Parrillada comes with 2 side dishes that are not shy by any means. You get an aluminum tray filled with 1/2 french fries and 1/2 rice that will be enough for 3 meals also! Next time, I wwould come back just for a full rack of the pork ribs, but I hope that the pitmaster doesn't overcook it.

    So I've been wanting to visit this place for years and today I felt for some bbq. The restaurant is…read moreconveniently found near vermella in Union across from Kean. There is a huge parking lot so there is ample parking even since the area is busy. The restaurant when I arrived was very clean. There was only one person in front of me ordering with a young man. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and patient and helpful to pick out the best of the menu. I ordered the 3 meat sampler with ribs, pulled pork and brisket. None of the sides looked too appealing so I left them out and didn't get the combo meal. To my surprise it was a whopping $30 for the 3 meats. Granted it is certainly enough to feed two people, I was expecting a side of some sort to come with it, a roll, something. Last minute I was given a cold slaw. Taste wise it isn't the best bbq I've had but if you're a carnivore like me...it will meet the need. The pulled pork had too many overcooked hard areas and the ribs were just okay. Will I be back? Maybe maybe not. I didn't eat anything that I would necessarily write home about but maybe.

    Got TGTG from in Nov2025. It was for $9 but the retail value said it was for $27. It's a scam…read more Similar to Target/Amazon black Friday sale, they put a very hight retail price to make it seem like there's value. For $9 it's okay for 1 meal. I probably wouldn't stop by after trying this TGTG. I'd probably have to spend at least $60 to get a BBQ from here and it doesn't seem worth it. I would hit up Red white and Que in green Brook for decent BBQ around the area.
