Bacalhau Grill - Portuguese Restaurant & Market

Portuguese Food in San Jose, the restaurant is located in the Little Portugal plaza side by side to a a Trade Right Market and Liquor Portuguese Market, you can either enter through the front or the side door by way of the parking lot.
A good amount of Brazilian foods.
We ordered the Bacalhau a la Braz, a mixed cod fish with spices, scrambled eggs, tiny potato sticks that resemble on texture the angel hair pasta, good seasoning served with white rice and salad.
We also enjoyed The yucca fries, a good size order that came hot of the frier.
The pastel (empanada) a fried rectangle shaped crust pie filled with meat and cheese was served in a basket and was another item that we enjoyed.
The last plate was the Chicken a la Milanesa, the chicken was tasty and was served with French fries, rice and salad. We finished our meal and bought a few Brazilian products from the store, the market offers a nice selection of Bacalhau, Linguica, Wines, condiments and specialty Portuguese items.

I’ve only been to Portugal once but I know for sure that the cod fritters (pastéis de bacalhau) here are really good!!! It’s better than the ones I had in Portugal.
I also had what I think was pastel de nata (I’m just not sure because someone made a review and called it something else).
Anyway, whatever is called I didn’t like it so much because I felt the fillng was too eggy and the crust was not flaky at all. The best part was Each item was only $1.88!!! The atmosphere was a bit dark and drab.
But the person at the counter was very cheerful so that was a bonus.
they also have a lot of parking, but I parked at the Portuguese café on the corner and walked over. I would definitely go back to get the cod fritters and try one of the shrimp snacks as well.
They also have premade food that looks sort of promising, but based on some of the reviews, I will probably have to ask the person at the counter if there’s any good. Also, FYI, the cod fritters is a little salty but obviously it has to be a little salty because it’s made with salt cod.
I definitely liked it though.

3 reasons for you to go right now, delicious food, incredible service compared to the region's standard and most importantly the price is very cheap! I actually go every week!
