Great restaurant, lovely staff. Restaurant was full but they set a table for five for us almost immediately. The staff was very kind and had a great attitude. Food was delicious. They also had a dj that was playing very good music
Highly recommend this restaurant.
My wife and I met friends at TEJO based on our friends' recommendation. They had been there before and said it was as good as any Portuguese restaurant in Newark. We were all in the mood for some good Portuguese food. And, boy, did TEJO live up to its promise.
The skirt steak was super delightful, the soup delicious, and the service superior. Even the OLD FASHIONS I ordered from the bar were on the money. Very, very good.
We were fortunate to be seated in the covered patio section where we were sheltered from the rain and pretty much had the place to ourselves. The privacy and the intimacy were as warm as sitting by a fire.
The one drawback, which was only a little bit bothersome was how quickly the food came and went. I like quick service like anyone else but at times it felt like we were being rushed out. Our server never said anything to make us feel that way but the breakneck pace of the service kind of said it all. Sometimes a moderate service pacing goes a long way.
Despite that one minor drawback, we all truly enjoyed TEJO and will return soon. Parking was super easy, right across the street in an underground parking area.
Good place. 4 of us spent 200 dollars altogether. And that was probably because of my OLD FASHIONS (just 2, I swear). The sangria was quite tasty and with enough bite to spare you from ordering additional drinks.
Enjoy!

First time trying seafood picadinho and it was delicious. The regular picadinho was on point. The Sangria was amazing. Our waitress, Sam, was great. This was our first time out this year and we had a blast! Thank you Tejos!
Good food. Friendly staff.
Friday night has music too. I liked it. Will be back w the crowd
They make the best flank steak I’ve ever eaten. They make amazing sangria but be careful its a mind eraser
It's The Best Restaurant I've Ever Been!
