Discovered this little gem back in 2007 when my ex worked at Gateway security. We would go here for lunch when I visited! I always order the #21. Their sandwiches are soooo good! They are very polite and the service is pretty good! The smoothies and juices are delicious as well! For a quick lunch in the ironbound section this is a good place to hit up. read more

See all

Had the x-banana burger and while it was interesting I would not get it again (nothing wrong with it, just not my thing). Also had the flan and it was pretty good. I plan to return and may increase my score if other food is more to my liking. They have a very big menu with lots of casual types of foods and are nice and the place seems pretty clean. read more

I love there crepes they call them wraps but there really crepes , one of my favorite spots here in the iron bound .

Beautiful 75° in Newarks Ironbound decided to take mom out for brunch sit outside enjoy some food n sun. I'll just sum it up long story short food is good and all BUT service needs major attention... sat outside didn't get noticed after 17min so I then got up went inside and got the menus myself,and told them to please send a server. Nobody came after another 10-15min so I GOT UP AGAIN AND PLACED THE ORDE MYSELF INSIDE. We got our food we ate ,not attended to at any point during eating --like is everything okay do u need anything blah blah NaDa!!!!Finished eating waiting good 20-30min nobody came so I got up Again to go get the Bill!!as I went to step inside the man asked if I needed anything lol-yeah the only thing I don't have access too the receipt check so I can pay and leave!! Of course he said he can get it.... he came left....we put the cash down waited ten min no one came so !!! Yessssss I walked inside to drop off the check since the outside area I guess was closed on Sunday afternoons and nobody seems to care for those sitting outside let alone making sure they pay!!! ‍ smh!!! I wasn't disrespectful to any staff didn't cause a scene like most would etc... I SIMPLY WILL NOT EAT HERE AGAIN.. highly recommend TakeOut ONLY!!! read more

I got the Da Hora. It was amazing. One of the best burgers I have ever tried. It's huge! Good enough for 2 people or 2 meals. The staff was really friendly. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Altas Horas - Da Hora! HUGE AND DELICIOUS! - Brazilian Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Came here and I asked for a shrimp salad. I asked them to switch carrots for bell pepper .. and he answer was " you cannot substitute anything , if you don't want an item in your salad is fine but if you want something else that isn't included on the salad menu you gotta paid extra. It is the first place I have came that I heard such thing . Also it wasn't that cheap I paid $14 . read more

This place is fantastic! My only complaint is the menu is hard to understand (partially my fault). I'm a little mad I didn't get the same thing my friend did. He got the banana burger and I thought it had slices of bananas on it when it in fact had fried plantains. I took a bite of his and it completely made my egg burger taste bland. I'm definitely getting the banana burger next time, it's the flipping bomb. Also this place is very cheap! My gigantic burger cost me less than 6 bucks! read more

Had some cold appetizers called pastries filled with beef, chicken and cheese. Had a massive beef burger x-picanha with top-sirloin which was quite good. Also tried a slice of mouth-watering chocolate and strawberry cake which made my labor-day holiday special. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Went here to try the banana burger everyone is talking about and WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. The burger was HUGE and the banana and fried potato straws enhanced the burger so much i had to finish it. Walked out with a huge smile on my face! read more

The wait times can get a little ridiculous when you dine in. Ive never ordered for delivery. Prices have gone up in the last few years. Service is ok. I do not speak Portuguese and if i give special instructions the funniest thing happens. For example if i ask for light mayo they will give me extra mayo, if i ask for no tomato i will get more tomato. It has really become hilarious occurrence. read more

I just ordered some food from Altas Horas from 266 ferry st in Newark. In my opinion this place is like a Spanish McDonalds with giant burgers. Personally I thought the sandwich tasted pretty plain even after adding the dressings (provided). I ordered the Top sirloin and asked the person who took my order to add the grilled onions on this sandwich as well, but they did not. When I opened the sandwiched it had one piece of sirloin steak which had a really elastic texture on certain bites, one lettuce (a big one) one slice of tomato, no grilled onions, and a small portion of mozzarella cheese. If I had to rate the sandwich I would give it 3 stars (mostly for how big it looked (not how big it was) and how fresh it tasted). I ordered the Friday soup for my 6yr old. She liked it and ate it all. I am not really a soup person myself but I did taste it, it tasted good. If I had to rate it, I guess I would give the soup 4 stars. I also ordered 2 dulce de leche cakes, big mistake. All though the portions are pretty big, it seems like these people save a lot of money on their cakes by not adding enough evaporated milk. The cake tasted like pure water with a little bit of sugar and some baked flour to me. Compare to a Dominican cake, don't bother, the flavor is just not there. On a positive note, it's not as watery as some other cake I have had. If I had to rate the cake I would give it 2 stars, most of the stars would be for the portion (the cake even smelled like water). For a soup, a sandwich, and 2 dulce de leche cakes it cost $17.25. The delivery was pretty quick (like 10-15min), but I live like 2 blocks away from Altas. Would I recommend this place? Like I said it is like a Spanish McDonalds. The food seemed ok, but with $20 I can get a lot more from the $1.00 menu at McDonalds. I personally find McDonalds more flavorful than this place. Would I go there again? Maybe when I want to grab a quick bite. I would rate this place 3 stars total. The food did taste fresh, which is something you may not get at McDonalds. Hope this helps :) read more

I visited this place for the first time & I must say the chicken burgers are the bomb it took me two days to eat one burger. & I tell you this they are very filling. Like O. M. G. The atmosphere is great. Wonderful service I must say. I'm bout to call them up n order me something to eat right now. read more

Great food and great atmosphere. Love the fact they have outside seating, great for those cool, nice breeze kind of days.

Stopped in for a late lunch, i got a steak salad, it was HUGE $10 very fresh and tasty

It's my late night take out place since they are the few in the area that deliver. Burgers and fries and pancakes are diner style and area in reasonable shape. read more

Walked in, WOW. Sauce everywhere! Bun was triple the size of my burger but that burger was triple the size of my heart. Steak sandwich was phenomenal and my boy bris got the food-itis. read more

Quick and delicious! There's no shortage of bakeries on ferry street and this one is among the top. Cozy cafe feel, cheap and flavorful food. Will be back! read more

4 cosihnas and 2 drinks came out to damn near 18 bucks. Way too over priced and the service was terrible. When asked why it came out to so much, the waitress looked at me with disgust. Never coming here again. read more

This small restaurant can get really crowded and busy but it's worth it. The sandwiches are huge and delicious. Da Hora is my favorite it has 3 or 4 different meats, with lettuce tomato corn potato sticks and mozzarella cheese. Wow. Even the bread is tasty. read more

Huge, tasty Portuguese burgers. Came in looking to drop $10 on a solid sandwich and got more than what I asked for- which is definitely not a bad thing! Not to mention its open 24 hours! read more

Good Brazilian snack place, their fried salty pastries are to die for, always fresh. I love their Burges with potatoes sticks and corn, such a good combination. Today is my stepdad birthday and I got a cake from them, can't wait to eat it later. read more

We love this place!!! The burgers are fresh and so tasty.. We always have a great time with our Kids in there..The place is small but it feels so comfortable and very kids friendly...Definitely 5 stars for this Amazing place. read more

Banana burger! The first time I've ever tasted something like this. The meat patty drowned in all the extra stuff (lettuce, tomato, mayo, corn, perfectly cooked sweet plantains) between two soft, flaky buns. It was kind of a mess, but it tasted really amazing! Devoured in minutes. Cheap prices and a lot of other types of burgers and Brazilian foods. Tried the sweet Pomonha and that was corn heaven :) The place is small/cozy. They should expand! The service was very friendly also. Def coming back for more. read more

I'm definitely not a person that likes to try new things but i made an exception for this place. GREAT BURGERS!! NEED I SAY MORE???? HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO TRY THIS PLACE. read more

Sweet baby Jesus, if you've never put a banana in your burger, you are not living your life. These burgers are humongous. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and served between two slices of indescribably wonderful bread. BANANABURGER! Location is okay, but if you're not a little rough around the edges, come in small groups or during the day. read more

it's a very small place to eat on a corner in newark. food is cheap and not expensive. Average but good food. staff is very friendly but not everyone who is working speaks english so make sure you bring someone who speaks portuguese ! There hamburgers are huge and really good! read more

Been coming to this place for 3 years now. Their burgers are worth the hour drive I take just to eat them haha. They have a good selection of Brazilian food & burgers. Their food portions are also very large for the price you pay. I also really enjoy their natural juices that they make to order. read more

UPDATE Cashier doesn't speak English. Unless you're Portuguese expect 2nd class treatment from waiters especially the guys. Most waitresses have good customer service though. Food is great but service- not so much UPDATE; Tried to make a carry out order just now. Some one picked up the phone and just sat the phone on the counter for the entire 3 minutes I was on the line. Tried to call again and got no dial tone/phone didn't even ring because obviously front desk unplugged the phone. I keep giving them another chance but their continually changing front desk staff always disappoints everytime. I'll gladly take my business and future recommendations elsewhere. read more

Best burgers ever! The burgers here are to die for! They are perfect each time and so freaking huge but so worth it even if you hate yourself for eating so much after. They put all the things I thought would never be good on a burger -- corn, potato chip "fries" -- all so delicious. The sauces they give with the burgers are amazing, try the green one, its the best! Definitely give the banana burger a try, it sounds so bizarre but they compliment each other so well. Grabbing a Guarana soda with your burger isn't a bad idea either, get the darker green can, its better. But really, its all the same, pepsi-cola -- tasty Brazilian soda! Service is alright, waitress is very nice, sometimes a bit dazey but food makes up for it. read more

This is an awesome, little (actually minuscule) 24 hours spot in ironbound that ironically specializes in massive sandwiches. Even though the main attractions are those enormous sandwiches, I always come back for the other stuff on the menu. To start, the Saturday soup (each day has a different soup) is amazing. It has whole chicken wings, yuca, potato and a thick, peppery broth that is prefect for curing a hangover (I'm talking from experience). The pastries, like the balls filled with meat or shrimp, are a great accompaniment to the soup. Each one is about $3-$4 and its loaded with a ton of filling, so its good value for money. The star of the show, however, is the orange juice. You might be skeptical, but really, the orange juice is mind-numbingly good. Obviously fresh-squeezed with some pulp in it; perfect for those hot, humid days we're prone to getting in North Jersey. The sandwiches, while not bad, aren't anything amazing. This is definitely something you order for the value (quantity over quality, in this case). They are loaded up with steak or chicken, tons of mayo (tooo much), lettuce, tomatoes, potato sticks, and various other meats depending on which specific sandwich you order. Definitely a place you should try, but you're better off going with the soup, pastries and OJ, than the sandwiches. read more

Still one of the best places to grab a bite to eat in Newark, especially the when I order the Da Hora

"I just...I can't even...it's the...yeah." Those were the words I uttered upon seeing Da Hora, the spaceship-sized Brazilian-style burger of North Ironbound District that I was about to devour. You need to be really hungry (or drunk) to enjoy this. I'm a pretty tall guy with a huge appetite and I honestly cannot eat the remaining half of this monster of a burger. Da Hora ($10) (B): The "Da Hora" is an overall solid burger. It's the biggest one Altas Horas offers and seems to be one of the most popular ones as well. To have an idea of how massive it is, here are the ingredients: Between two buns, the Da Hora has a thick and wide burger patty, a thick slice of chicken breast, a thick slice of sirloin steak, bacon, ham, a fried egg, mini fried potato sticks, mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and corn. It was enjoyable to eat since the burger patty and the steak were still hot, fresh, and juicy; however, if you wait to eat it, the buns will get soggy and the meat will become dry. That happens to be the case with the half I have left. Thus, try to eat it as soon as you can. While you don't get any fries, you do get two kinds of mayonnaise to eat this with. The pinkish colored sauce was a bit spicy/peppery--I prefer it over the green mayonnaise sauce. While I found the Da Hora to be a pretty interesting burger, it's hard to figure out what I like most about it given just how many different ingredients are in it; it's hard to savor the meat since everything was pretty salty and the taste of the ingredients are conflicting with each other. Other burgers, salads, soups, individual pizzas, and wraps are available if the Da Hora is not your cup of tea. Altas Horas itself is a small eatery, so I'd order my food to go unless, of course, there's an open table. For those with a sweet tooth, they also sell a variety of sweets like Tres Leches, flan, and Brigadeiro truffles. Parking sucks because there is hardly any--the side street parking spots are either always taken or require a fee. If you're ordering for take out and don't mind walking a bit, park at the Pathmark across the street (behind Autozone) and walk from there; it's a short five minute walk. read more

Everything here is just perfect! But the burgers are killers!! Can easily share with up to 3 people . They are massively huge (if you don't eat like a bodybuilder) recommended 100% read more

This is a place worth driving to Newark for! I tried their sandwiched couple of years ago and was blown away by how well they were made and different they were. After that I kept going here and everything they serve is just awesome. Definitely this place makes my favorite sandwich in the whole tristate area anywhere read more

BEst burgers I have ever tasted. They just thought of things to put in a burger and somehow they all came together for a fabulous taste. Everything that I have tried in this place is very tasty. Their todo alcatra burger is my favorite. The da hora burger is HUUUGGEE probably thousands of calories and I have never been able to finish it. Their panquecas are filling and even their regular sandwiches are good. The pink and green sauce that are on the table are amazing. FInish it of with a wide selection of desserts (a little to sweet for my taste) or a coffee. Great service. It gets very packed if you go late night and you might have to wait a while, but during the day you will have to trouble getting a seat. I have order for delivery a couple of times and had no problems. read more

Food is always phenomenal here but unfornately the customer service sucks. Its better to call in ur food if its to go. To receive your food it takes some time. read more

Let's be honest, most 24 hour places rule and Altas is no exception. Their infamous "Da Hora", containing a hamburger topped with ham, chicken, potato sticks, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, and mayo, is an absolute must try. So are their shakes and make sure to have a bottle of their green sauce in hand when feasting on their burgers. read more

Lying in bed pregnant and hungry after 10pm on a Friday night, I ordered delivery of one bacon burger for the man and an X egg burger for me, with no crunchy fries in sandwiches. They said it would take 40 minutes, and showed up 15 minutes early instead. Even though they put crunchy fries in there anyway, the large burgers were so delicious. Hunger is the best seasoning my father says. Whatever it was, we were both happy as larks after eating the whole burger. We will definitely keep this place in mind next time we find ourselves hungry late at night. read more
