Amazing crispy skin. Garlic shrimp is delicious.
Service is excellent and the attention paid to us was top notch. Pedro took great care of us.
Coimbra is a flavor-packed experience you don’t want to miss. The citrus notes in the dishes cut through the richness of the fatty pork perfectly—it’s a match made in culinary heaven. Pair it all with a glass of their red sangria, and you’re in for a treat. Definitely try a bit of everything on the table! Pro tip: use the crispy pork skin to scoop up some rice and dip it into the salty, savory sauce. Don’t be afraid to get your hands messy—it’s all part of the fun and flavor.

We were so thoroughly impressed by our meal here on Saturday night that we ended up coming back two other times during a quick weekend trip to NYC. We even rode the PATH train into Newark FROM Manhattan on Sunday evening because we had enjoyed our first experience so much and knew we wouldn’t find a better meal.
My boyfriend is Portuguese and has extremely high standards for the cuisine. We have been to Portugal multiple times and we agreed that the meals we had at Coimbra equaled the best meals we had across the Atlantic. Just like a true Portuguese place, olives and delicious rustic breads were served right away. (But unlike Portugal, there was no charge!)
My boyfriend got squid for one meal (pictured) and octopus for another. Both were so tender and flavorful, and the potatoes and vegetable sides fresh and perfectly cooked. I ordered the barbecue chicken special (pictured) for two meals, it was so delicious.
The stuffed rock crab appetizer is also pictured, another A+. The caldo verde was better than some versions I had in Portugal. The flaming chourico and aletria and bolo de bolacha desserts were perfection as well.
The prices are extremely reasonable for the portions and quality delivered. The service is incredible. Pedro was so pleasant and welcoming and helped us out with his thoughtful recommendations. He remembered us when we came back and treated us so well each time. Nelson was also very kind and friendly and we really appreciated his attentiveness. We felt like we had made new friends.
We will definitely be back. This place is worth the drive from Maryland. I can’t wait to visit Coimbra again!

Shrimp and garlic app, cheesesteak sandwich, both good stuff, olives and bread to start you off, soda served in cans.
Bar area, plus several tables, and an additional dining area off to the side, suitable for private parties.

We where here for my wife’s birthday excellent food and ambience. I like the steak and seafood. I would love to comeback another great spot in Ironbound

Great authentic portuguese food. Amazing squid (grilled) and calamari, the food is always spectacular. Especially the cod fish items. Always pleasing to chat it up with the locals and the hostess. Parking can be a hassle if the lot is packed but never have a problem finding one nearby.

Food was average at best. The two entrees were not seasoned and tasteless. I asked what the waiter recommends and read all the entrees. What was one or two that were really good. My mistake on my part to ask. Plenty of other options to try in the area.

What is there not to love but the closest taste of fine Portuguese dining while not having to catch a flight to Coimbra, Portugal. My favorite was their pork cube clams, well marinated that the pork cubes and clams taste like they were one. The octopus salad was also well seasoned, maybe a little too heavy with the onions but the octopus wasn’t chewy or overcooked, it was seasoned and settled well with all the flavors when served. I did not like the soup, I can get fresher soup from Seabra’s on 83 Wilson Ave. The not-so-pleasant-going-towards-the-fermented soup I couldn’t palate the soup after the second try. Other than that everything else was well made, locally bought and I did love their mixed salads, the salads tasted fresh which is difficult during a time of climate justice. Maybe the waiter should of asked was there something wrong with the soup. I would have shared my opinion. The pastel de nata sweet and not too heavy but just heavenly crisp and a thick pudding like cream of heaven. There’s a parking lot available on Fillmore, the atmosphere was laid-back, patrons sitting down either at the bar or on the serving tables. There’s a larger dining area on the left side of the restaurant and a private room downstairs for a more private party. Waiters were attentive and courteous, they wanted to know how they can be of service as they checked in on the customers. There bartenders can be a little snarky but I understand it’s challenging to be behind the counter. Next time Coimbra, overall well done.
