Good Portugeuse food with fair prices. The food does take at least 15-20 minutes to prepare, so you might want to call ahead for pickup orders!! *Their restaurant site is on FB: https://www.facebook.com/penialshalom/

Excellent food. Great service. It's a little out of the way but I highly recommend it if you like Brazilian/ Portuguese style food

I've had the pleasure of working with Rui and his team at Valenca in Elizabeth, NJ for over a…read moredecade and they are truly exceptional. Rui is quick to respond, always accommodating, and very mindful of our time. They genuinely appreciate their customers and ensure complete satisfaction with every order always on time, every time. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-quality Portuguese restaurant and a reliable vendor. Outstanding!

This was the best meal I have had in a looong time! Celebrating my birthday & Valenca was a PERFECT…read moreexperience. The restaurant ambiance & service was impeccable; white table cloths, warm bread with butter while you wait, MASSIVE portions, amazing quality. We ordered a pitcher to share of Sangria that was the BEST sangria I have ever had (I'm now ruined for any future sangria lol), and easily equalled 4 drinks. My plate was the salmon special, stuffed with avocado, drizzled with lemony, buttery, delicious valenca sauce & served with perfectly steamed veggies & piped mash potatoes. My husband ordered the Veal Parmesan for a twist as his fav is chicken parm & it was perfectly seasoned, giant portion & served with linguini & red sauce. Both were big enough to be easily shareable. They sang to me and presented me with a scrumptious birthday flan... that I also shared! Parking was a breeze & valet quickly got us in & out. I felt like a VIP Princess from start to finish. Valenca made this a very special birthday meal to remember & anytime we find ourselves in the area, popping in will be a MUST. Did I mention how beautiful the restaurant is? The entire night was like a perfectly curated event & I couldn't have asked for more!

15 years later- we're still having fun trying new Portuguese restaurants in and around Newark…read more Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday and it was bustling with customers, many, I'm sure were regulars. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away by the bartender. There were so many options on the menu in addition to the specials that it made it difficult to make a decision but we opted for the vegetable soup, a garden salad and a pork loin, shrimp & sausage combo and of course, the obligatory pitcher of sangria. Everything was delicious. The soup instantly made you feel like somebody's grandma slow cooked it for hours. The simple garden salad was dressed perfectly. The complimentary bread was tasty as only Portuguese rolls seem to be. The pork was full of flavor as was the shrimp. It's served on a bed of fries that soaked up all of the meat juices nicely. There was a little smattering of pickled vegetables on top. We leisurely enjoyed our meal, finishing our sangria pitcher and topping off the whole experience with some type of potent appertif. Great meal, great prices, great ambiance.

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 would come back just for a full rack of the pork ribs, but I hope that the pitmaster doesn't overcook it.
