    Hands down by far the best restaurant in escalon!!!! Debbie's creations are packed with flavor on every dish. The wait staff are warm and welcoming, even Debbie came out to ensure that we had a great experience! This was my first experience with Portuguese food and it did not disappoint! If you have an opportunity to eat here, I highly recommend it!!! The atmosphere is very comfortable and the restrooms were incredibly clean! Thank you staff for a wonderful evening!!

    Super Bock Portuguese beer, so refreshing!

    Great food and people! Owners are amazing people. I am vegetarian and there aren't that many vegetarian dishes, but the owners are always willing to accommodate and make what they can without meat. So considerate!

    Excellent authentic Portuguese food! The bread for both the bifana and Linguiça sandwiches were super fresh, the Portuguese beans were almost as good as my aunts, ALMOST! and finally the Mac and cheese... the Mac and cheese was phenomenal! Probably the best I've ever had! I will definitely be going back

    What a great place! Delicious food, Excellent customer service. The portuguese steak and Cowboy burger were top notch! We are from Sacramento, but we will drive back for this place!

    This place was amazing. The staff were very welcoming and kind, it was quiet inside, and the food was so amazing. I've never had chicken cooked so perfectly before. Also the linguica bites were so good.

    Another fantastic meal. Reservations for 6 at the last minute? Yes! Had Portuguese Vinho Verde wine. A cold efervescent wine done similar to a top not sauvignon blanc. Two of us had pasta, I had the lamb chops, we also had to portuguese marinated steaks. Just wow. The meal was perfect. The service was fantastic. Truly lucky this place is local. Fine dining with a Portuguese twist!

Fora o preço insustentável pra quem quer almoçar com frequência, a demora continua a mesma. Recomendo ligar antes pra por o pedido com antecedência se não você espera aqui 20m+ para um to-go order.

    My experience with Bacalhau Grill was extremely disappointing and frustrating…read more Before placing my order, I called multiple times because I have significant food allergies and needed to verify ingredients and preparation methods. Asking questions about allergens is not a matter of preference--it's a matter of safety. During these calls, I experienced repeated hang-ups while simply trying to get information about whether the restaurant could accommodate my allergies. Eventually, I was assured that my meal could be prepared without the ingredients I am allergic to, so I felt comfortable enough to place and pay for an order. Unfortunately, that was where the problems only got worse. After placing the order, I waited more than an hour and a half. During that time, I repeatedly attempted to contact the restaurant for updates and clarification. Instead of receiving assistance, my calls were repeatedly ignored or disconnected. It felt as though the restaurant was actively refusing to communicate after taking my payment. The most upsetting part of the experience was that after assuring me they could accommodate my allergies and accepting my money, I never received the level of communication or service that any customer should reasonably expect. When someone has food allergies, clear communication is essential. Being unable to get answers about an order involving allergens is stressful and unacceptable. What should have been a straightforward transaction turned into an exhausting experience filled with confusion, unanswered questions, and a complete lack of customer service. I spent considerable time trying to reach someone, waiting for an order, and attempting to resolve the situation, only to be met with silence and disconnected calls. I understand that restaurants get busy and mistakes can happen. However, repeatedly hanging up on a customer, failing to communicate after taking payment, and leaving someone waiting for over an hour and a half without meaningful updates is not acceptable. Customers deserve honesty, respect, and basic communication--especially when food allergies are involved. This was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I have had, and unfortunately I cannot recommend Bacalhau Grill based on the way this situation was handled.

    Cafe Docanto had been on my "Want to Visit" list for years after seeing the mouthwatering photos on…read moreYelp. Finally visited and so very glad we did!! * Location: Cafe is just off Alum Rock Ave in the heart of Little Portugal. Cafe has a small parking lot, plenty of street parking as well. * Interior: Snug, warm, & welcoming.! Cafe layout is efficient & practical with ordering counter/food prep area, tables for guests (some outdoor seating available as well), and TV views for local news & futbol. * Menu is concise but tasty (coffee, tea, sandwiches, sweets, soft drinks, beer, wine) * Owner is incredibly kind, made us feel at home, & described his magic to pulling espresso just right. * Food & Drink: Simple& incredibly tasty! We tried 1 ham & cheese sandwich (toasted & warm), 1 tuna sandwich, 2 espressos. Everything was even better than we'd hoped for and the mouthwatering photos we saw pre-visit were 100% accurate. Tips: 1. Cafe is cash & Venmo only; 2. Leave room to try the desserts!! Can't wait to go back & try more!

    Truly a hidden gem of a place…read more Upon entering, we were greeted by the owner and told about some of the menu. The prices range from $4-$7 and that is very cheap. The whole vibe of the place is relaxed and like a European cafe. The coffee even tasted like European espresso. It was perfect. They do take card. I ordered the linguica sandwich with tomatoes and onions and let me tell you, extremely well balanced sandwich. A little acid from the juicy tomato (not watery) salt and spices from the linguica, butter, and a light fluffy but crispy roll was amazing. He delivered the food to our table one by one and I wouldn't say he was hustling but was working effectively while chatting with what seemed to be regular customers. Extremely friendly and relaxed. I think that it's nice that it's a "pay when you're ready" kind of place rather than a "pay upfront". It adds a lot to the laid back atmosphere. If we are in the area, we'll 100% come back as there's not many places that have the European cafe vibe in the Bay Area.

The flavor profile is slightly different but I could barely notice since I'm not so familiar with the cuisine. Food: Lingicua- dope presentation. It arrives on fire to your table. Pretty cool and the taste is good but ultimately it's just a sausage. Class streamed in white wine/garlic- really tasty. I really enjoyed this dish. It has a very similar profile to other clam/mussels in white wine dishes so I dunno if you necessarily hafta try it here but it was good. Octopus- was also really good but I wouldn't say any better or worse at other places over had octopus Duck rice- this was just ok. Duck was a lil dry. At $45 I wouldn't recommend. The portion is also tiny. I thought it was gonna be like a big paella or something. Overall everything was solid/tasty. Cocktails were surprisingly good. I'll say the only thing is the value/price. Portions are tiny and some things like the rice are really pricey for the portion that you get so I'd def be aware of that.
