Authentic Portuguese food, reasonable prices, abundant portions and friendly service. Seafood combinations are exceptional. The waiters are very helpful and offer great suggestions. Groups of 4 or more - consider ordering less than 1 entrée per person and share.

The food was super salty and over priced. The service was ok and the Enviroment is cozy. Will not be wasting money here again!

I must start off by saying that I love good Spanish food. The garlic shrimp was very good. We ordered lobters which came stuffed and we had NOT ordered them stuffed. We sent them back and they brought us unstuffed lobters. I think they simply removed the stuffing. They were difficult to eat and not very tasty. The fried potatoes... More

this is the last place locals choose. Its very commercial and a lot of hubbub and very mundane food. It gets parties and group things but its not where people go to 'dine'. Its sprawling and kind of cold.

We recently had a big celebration (about 100 guests) there for a 50th birthday party. All I can say is that is was a great success. The people who work there really took an interest in making sure everything was just right. We can't say enough about Andre (the sales manager). He helped us in everything from creating the menu,...

Iberia has great seafood and meats, but they're known for their never-ending parade of grilled meats called rodizio. For $22.95 you get all the sides (salad, rice and black beans, fries, potato croquettes, fried banana, collard greens) and the waiters come to your table with grilled meats that they slice off skewers. And they keep coming until you've had enough.... More

With so much good food in the surrounding area and in the ironbound, this place just doesnt do it for me. Very average food, huge place so it lacks some atmosphere, people are very friendly so I couldn't give it any less than a 3 but if you've had spaniard or portugese in Newark before you will see what I...

The Paella is...more than abundant. You want to continue eating even after you're full.. Also the Rodizio just keeps on coming and coming. Skweres of beef, turkey, pork, sausage...all you can eat served with rice and beans and salad.
