    Cucurico - 1/2 chicken

    We are Piri Piri Chicken fans from the US and were dying to try some in Lisbon. Without planning,…read morewe happened upon Cucurico when stopping by the LX Factory. At the time I write this, they are fairly new. We were seated outdoors, where they have tables in the back of the restaurant. We ordered wine, I had 1/2 chicken, my wife had a chicken breast, and we ordered slaw, beans and rice, and fries as sides. The service was great and the food came out quickly. They asked if we wanted our chicken mild or spicy, and we asked for spicy. I wouldn't say the chicken was spicy when it arrived but they serve it with sides of Piri Piri sauce, which when the chicken was dipped in it, did the trick. The 1/2 chicken is a nice sized portion for someone who is hungry. I know US Chickens are genetically bred to be larger and it isn't the same in the EU, so I expected it to be a good size for me, and it was. The sides were also very good. And, since my wife couldn't finish hers, I ate the rest of the breast before we left. We were quite pleased with the quality and taste of the food, and the service was excellent. It was a great experience.

    This is located in the heart of the LX Factory. We went there based on the positive reviews on Yelp…read moreand it did not disappoint. The half chicken was delicious and probably my favorite. We also ordered the chicken breast and popcorn chicken sandwich. For sides we had corn, garlic bread, and potato wedges. Everything was delicious. Our server spoke English and was very friendly. I would definitely come back.

    I think the first time I tried piri piri chicken was just a few years ago in London at a hugely…read morepopular chain, Nando's. It's rotisserie chicken doused with a spicy hot sauce so what's not to like? I knew it was a Portuguese-originated dish, so I looked for a place famous for it. Here on a Sunday evening, there was quite a queue extending up the cobblestone alley, so I realized this must be the place. Although it was at least thirty people deep, it didn't take more than twenty minutes for Jamie W and me to secure a table upstairs. It was a homestyle dining room set-up that hovered between cozy and crowded depending on the fluctuating volume level. Interestingly all the servers were male, and while ours was the most junior, he consciously followed the behavior of his veteran brethren. There was no question about our main course, the 13,5€ Frango Assado No Espeto (Roast Chicken on the Spit) (Photo 7). It was tender and succulent enough albeit a bit under seasoned, all the more reason to pour a liberal dose of the piri piri sauce (Photo 8). Our sides were simple but shareable, the 3,2€ Batata Fritta (French Fries) (Photo 9) and the 4,3€ Salada Mista (Mixed Salad) (Photo 10). Both were fine, though we really wanted to try their Cream Spinach. They were already out of it in the kitchen. We were quite satisfied nonetheless, and their service pretty much worked like clockwork. Jamie and I agreed we'd definitely come back if the passion for poultry strikes us on a return trip to Lisbon. In the meanwhile, I'll just do a run to Costco, buy a rotisserie chicken, and dream of Portugal. FOOD - 4 stars...succulent poultry with a unique spicy kick AMBIANCE - 4 stars...like an old-fashioned dining room in a Portuguese home SERVICE - 4.5 stars...they move quickly and courteously TOTAL - 4 stars...a Lisbon institution worth checking out RELATED - Exploring Lisbon?

Beer was cold. Salad was good. Cheese was good. Chicken and fish were on the salty side. And our server made a point to tell us the "service charge" was not included in the bill. Just looking for the big American spenders to leave a tip. Which we did.

    The restaurant is away from tourist neighbor. But I suspect its target customers are tourists…read more They play American pop music all night long which is fine with me, but if you are looking for a local experience, this may not what you expected. Pastries de Bacalhau - the crust was not brown enough. May be longer time. The stuffing was flavorful but it's more the cod taste than the flavored mash potatoes which I prefer. I actually prefer the other local restaurant I tried the night before better. Caldo Verde - The potatoe part of the soup is great. Perfect viscosity but the flavor is not. It wasn't salty enough but more importantly is the flavor of the veggies and the spicy sausage they supposed to use that makes the soup taste different. Grilled giant pawns - The flavor of the prawns is not as intense as expected and hope to be. The squid ink pasta also lacked of flavor. That's disappointing. With the prawns, they should at least use the prawn shell to make sauce for the pastas. The pasta was tasteless, didn't even use enough garlic and olive oil to flavor it up. Seafood rice - Another disappointment. They used fish, small mussels and little bit of shrimp pieces along with some bigger whole shrimps and mussels. However, the rice was lack of the true seafood flavor that made from shell fish. They also added cilantro which overwhelmed the whatever left of seafood flavor. The lemonade was not a sweet lemonade but sour. Fyi. It's not fair we just went to another restaurant in the neighborhood and everything was so much better but people should know.

She is all in and makes this place fabulous. Because I was in Portugal, I needed to order the codfish dish before leaving. I don't normally care for codfish because it can be tough. This cod dinner was juicy and moist. It was seasoned perfectly and came with the perfect sides of potatoes and spinach. I took my time eating it because it was that good. The wine was great, the Portuguese sausage was excellent. As for the service, our waiter was very attentive and met every need in a very timely manner. Getting back to the roots was topped off with a wonderful live music fado experience. If you ever visit Lisbon, this is a must.

    5 stars for the Fado show but god was the food bad here. I chose this place because it was one of…read morethe few places that had a vegetarian option on the menu, but that was barely edible. The stuffed mushrooms were overcooked, the tiger prawns were tough and barely edible. The codfish cakes were just okay. The best thing we ate here was honestly the bread. Service was also really slow despite the staggered seating. Ambiance wise it just feels like a low key restaurant with a small stage in front. There are no bad seats in the house which is nice, you can see the performers well no matter where you're seated. The Fado show made up for the bad food. The performances were beautiful and varied. The level of talent on this tiny unsuspecting stage was really something to see. I wish I could've paid for just the show and skipped the meal in retrospect.
