    My wife returned home from a Mediterranean trip with friends recently and one of her girlfriend's husband wanted to experience "bacalhau" or salted cod fish, a delicacy of Portuguese and Brazilian cuisine. Her girlfriend couldn't bring any "bacalhau" home, so, my wife promised to bring some when we visited them from San Diego. Well, a close friend who is part Portuguese, knew exactly where to get authentic "bacalhau" in North County: O Prego!!! Situated among furniture stores in San Marcos, this humble and lovely establishment has authentic Portuguese and Brazilian staples that you made need. Along with a coffee cafe and bakery, this is your one stop shop for all of your needs. On the weekends you will find also a sandwich shop offering delectable food and dessert. My wife tried also the "pastel de nata" or the iconic Portuguese egg custard tart, flaky and crisp layers, filled with a sweet creamy custard baked to perfection. She even commented that it tasted better than in Portugal!!! What a compliment!!! With 1 hour advance notice, O Prego can baked up a bunch for your party or gathering needs. With friendly and helpful service you will leave satisfied and happy from O Prego!!!

    This great little market brings the tastes of Brazil & Portugal to San Diego county. Everyone is super friendly. Espresso & fresh pastries from the case you can sit & eat as well as imported products to take home. They have even more food available on weekends.

    I've been following O Prego on social media for years, and on our way to a Portuguese festival in San Diego, I finally had the chance to stop by. Time was tight, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity -- and I'm so glad we made the stop! From the moment we walked in, João and his wife greeted us with the warmest "Bom dia!" and instantly made us feel at home. In the short 15-20 minutes we were there, I was able to grab a much-needed restroom break after a long drive, enjoy a delicious latte (galão), and pick up some treats to take with us -- two pastéis de nata, two quindim (my absolute favorite and not always easy to find), and two bolo de arroz. Since O Prego carries both Portuguese and Brazilian specialties, I had to try their coxinha -- it was really good! They also had an assortment of brigadeiros that looked incredible, but I'll have to save those for my next visit. The owners were incredibly generous and even sent us off with a bola de Berlim for the road. The shop itself has a great vibe -- cozy dining area, well-stocked shelves with Portuguese and Brazilian goods, and now they're serving lunch too. I can't wait to come back when I have more time to sit down, explore all the products, and enjoy a full meal. If you love authentic Portuguese and Brazilian food or just want to experience some genuine hospitality, O Prego is a must-visit!

    Fantastic Portuguese market, with all sorts of authentic imports! The store is clean, great food and an amazing staff. I travel all the way from north Orange County just to restock on my Portuguese favorites here. Worth it the drive!

    João Da Silva opened this year's ago but was effected by Covid. He has been getting everything back in order, opening the store front and now offering food! American coffee isn't good and if you have been to Europe you would know that. This place pretty much takes you to Lisbon/Porto with its variety of coffee (same machine/beans you would get in Europe) with a wife arrange of snacks and desserts to pair woth your coffee. He continues to expand the menu and is now making authentic dishes from Brazil and Portugal over the weekends (open-till they run out). It was authentic and very excited to have this near by. Come here for great coffee, friendly staff, authentic food, and groceries straight from Brazil/Portugal.

    João and his wife Liza have curated such a beautiful place. The place is very welcoming, clean, and family owned. We recently discovered that they've opened up a new sandwich section, and it's incredible. The bread they use is the same one they sell in the freeze, freshly made in Portugal with no chemicals, no artificial ingredients, just clean and wholesome, exactly how food should be. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. We also picked up some of their meats to cook at home, and the quality is outstanding, truly some of the best we've ever had. It's clear they put their heart into everything they do and that they really care about bringing high-quality ingredients to their customers. We stock up on so many goodies, when we're here. So much better quality than any regular store near by. Definitely shop here first for groceries before going to a grocery store, you won't regret it.

    growing up in Boston with a Brazilian best friend, I've been DEEPLY craving some of the Brazilian snack foods that were so easily accessible in my youth. my husband was camping with our scouts near O Prego and agreed to make a little detour to satiate my cravings and I feel so lucky that he did! apparently he was browsing like a lost puppy and the owner came over to save him. He showed her my extensive list and she more than provided every item, plus suggested a couple things I actually had wanted to try and forgot to add to my list! I was so happy to have amazing coxinha that brought me right back to my childhood, the crispy exterior and creamy filling, with tender chicken and a hint of creamy cheese, as well as perfectly cheesy and flaky folhados, creamy bite size coconut brigadeiro, a super yummy queijado de coco - which tasted like a coconut-y custard, think almost flan/pudim consistency with a coconut base, and a few pasteis de nata (literally better than I had in Lisbon the last time I went!). She also suggested a bag of their frozen pao de queijo and BLESS HER for doing so because we've been air frying them over the last few days to savor and they are so good I could cry. Way better than the Americanized version you over pay for at the local markets in OC. everything was fresh, delicious, and made me feel homesick. I hope we can make a reason to be back in the area soon so I can shop the entire store and try some of their sandwiches!

    Sandwich and specialty menu.

    Great food, exceptional service and family feel. Brought me back to my childhood and time spent in Portugal. Such an amazing place. Place has a constant turnover of customers. They have meals, coffees and desserts. They also have a store on the side with traditional Portuguese foods and snacks. Second time coming here. It's my first stop flying in to the San Diego Area.

    Want to feel like you've taken a quick trip to Portugal? Immediately transport yourself to this wonderful cafe and market with the best Portuguese bites this side of the world. The owners are so welcoming, you will leave feeling like you've just spent a few moments with family. The market selection is wonderful. The food and coffee on weekends absolutely delicious. The gift shop has everything you need for a special moment (like my mom's birthday gift). My son asks to go back several times a week for the treats and just loves the friendly owners. Do yourself a favor and visit this hidden gem. Truly special home away from home! You'll love the feeling - ambiance is 10/10.

    Delicious sandwich!!!!
    Marny T.

    I highly recommend this restaurant; the food is delicious. They have a sandwich that's so good you can't eat just one! I also recommend the bread they sell to take home; it comes directly from Portugal. Everything is fresh. Besides the restaurant, they have a mini-market with products from Portugal and Brazil! The service is very friendly, and they are expanding their menu.

    The bakery has such amazing tasty treats. The owners are beautiful people who were very nice. My son is interested in countries and trying new things. They let us know all sorts of information that helped us learn!

    GREAT Brazilian/Portuguese market with super nice (and knowledgeable) owners! Went in for a $6 bag of Prosciutto flavored Ruffles and walked out $130 lighter! Bought some delicious Brazilian Linguica, some beautiful Picanha and some other items (Guarana Antarctica, Brazilian Cheese bread and more!). I will definitely be a regular here! So glad I found it!

    Delicious and authentic! Very friendly and helpful owners on site. Cute place on furniture row.

The store was a lot larger inside than it looked from Valley Parkway. They had a lot more items than I had expected. The display was well organized by the kind of items, not by cuisine or culture. Overall it was a clean and pleasant place to shop. For those who regularly go to the Asian grocery stores in the Convoy area, this is not a store to replace them, but it serves the purpose as a neighborhood Asian store that carries enough basic items in a pinch. For that purpose, in Escondido and North county inland in general, this is a great store. You have to visit this store and see what they have that you may be able to count on in a pinch without going down to Convoy. The selection may be less compared to Convoy, but the price seems to be compatible. For those who may not be cooking Asian food, this store has ready to eat goodies like Asian sweets, snacks and ice creams. The produce was fresh. I was surprised to find some Asian culture specific veggies and fruits. People were helpful in finding the items I was looking for. Overall I love the store. Definitely going back!

It was just soooooo great. They served delicious cuts of filet mignon, sirloin, flank steak, picanha (my personal favorite), and sausage (chicken was also available but we stayed with the beef and pork). In addition, he served brought pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread), french fries, and garlic mashed potatoes to the table as well.

Our waitress was fantastic and all the skewer-servers circulated frequently and were friendly (I've been to place like this where they try to hold out on the proteins - DEFINITELY NOT the case here).

We both ate til we couldn't take it any more and we would DEFINITELY return after we unclog our arteries.
