Very authentic Portuguese food. Surrounded by locals, so you know the food is great and affordable. Service was more than good, since we sat on a table near the Bar, the Bartender worked the eating patrons and bar people seamlessly. Please go

This is the place to go for Home Cooked Portuguese Food. I asked my mechanic for some suggestions and he told me this is where he goes for lunch so I thought I would give it a try and so glad I did. As I walked In I was Greeted with a smiling host. She was kind, Courteous and Professional. I asked for some recommendations and she was Happy to explain each item. Asking what I was in the mood for? I started out with Kale Soup and it was delicious and tasty. Then I picked the Steak Sandwich with French Fries and another perfect choice. The Steak was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. It was so tender and fell apart in my mouth. The Portuguese Roll was so Fresh. I also had a side cup of Portuguese Beans. The beans was cooked with Chourico and Thick Bacon Pieces. The Prices are very reasonable and good portions. They have a Full Bar and offer a Expresso Menu too. Please Try This Place you will Truly Enjoy every Minute of your time there. 4 Diamonds is what I would have rated this place if giving the opportunity. Kid Friendly Also!

The service and the food were absolutely fantastic. I had made reservations for 2:00 and my in-laws were literally an hour and a half late. My waitress was amazingly patient totally worked with me and they let me bring a cake and they sing Happy Birthday to my mother-in-law. Cannot say enough great things about the staff and the food.

A hidden gem located at 1528 Acushnet Avenue in New Bedford, Cafe Mimo Restaurant is an excellent dining experience that is regarded by many locals as the best restaurant for Portuguese food in the city. My wife and I are open to trying new dishes and we have been enjoying many unique Portuguese delicacies that are promoted online daily and compliment their traditional menu choices. We both love seafood and for an appetizer we generally choose between Littlenecks with Garlic Sauce or Spanish Style, both are delicious! I have my go-to choices for an entree that I will mention first. Seafood Linguine, Seafood Mozambique, Baked Stuffed Salmon & Baked Seafood Platter are each delicious and will satisfy my urge for a seafood dish. Each dish is made-to-order and if you would enjoy an adult beverage while you wait, they have draft beer, bottled beer, wine & excellent cocktails that are all reasonably priced. I enjoy their Sangrias that add a generous scoop of diced fruit & your choice of Sumol Sparkling Juice. Regarding the Baked Stuffed Salmon, ask for a side order of their Creamy Mozambique Sauce for an upcharge. You will not regret it. I dip the salmon & vegetables in a cup of this sauce and I love it. You can order Chicken or Shrimp Mozambique dishes with the regular or creamy Mozambique Sauce and you will crave that sauce until your next visit. Cafe Mimo Restaurant features daily specials and authentic Portuguese limited or seasonal food items are featured. Their excellent & friendly staff will provide you with answers to any questions that you may have about that, should you decide to explore food offerings that you haven't experienced before. I enjoyed every one. My favorites included Lapas ( Mediterranean mollusks ), Portuguese Goat Stew, Portuguese Tripe & Bean Stew, & they featured dry rubbed Grilled Ribs that were the best ribs that I have had in the area. We have become "regulars" at Cafe Mimo Restaurant on our mission to explore new dining experiences, and my wife and I are grateful that we did. They have off street parking behind the restaurant, but you do not have to feed the meters after 6:00 if you see an open space. I am certain that I will continue reporting on their other fine food choices in the future.
