We had a great time at Cocheira! The food and the service were really great. I had ordered a today's special (grilled fish with potatoes and vegetables) and the dish was really tasty! My girlfriend ordered a veggie dish that came with lot of vegetables and mushrooms. In addition, we shared a small bottle of wine and we had dessert as well. It was a kind of cake with pumpkin and coconut. Total was 40 euros (tip included).

I get there just at 11 PM, and they said they were closed even when it's obvious they still in full operation and even when it publicizes that's operate from 12 to 12. I was very enthusiastic because of a recommendation and it was impossible to get a table. Llegamos a las 11PM y nos dijeron estaban cerrados, aún cuando era obvio que estaban llenos y sirviendo mesas y a pesar de que en la Web aseguran que abren de 12 a 12. Estaba muy entusiasmada de ir por un recomendación, seguí sus horarios en Internet y de nada sirvió.

If you want to get a full taste of the local food scene without having to drop massive dough and don't mind not getting (and not paying for) full service, then this place is for you! It was for me! There are too many vendors in one centralized location that offer their meals at affordable prices to count. Just know that in addition to the main vendors that face towards the central dining area, there are another stall of vendors on the western side (opposite the food market side). Plus if you are not a fan of eating on modern wood tables and seats, also know that on the opposite side…Read more If you want to get a full taste of the local food scene without having to drop massive dough and don't mind not getting (and not paying for) full service, then this place is for you!

Plus if you are not a fan of eating on modern wood tables and seats, also know that on the opposite side of most vendors, they have their own sit-down counters to receive and enjoy your food away from the masses. If you enjoy watching chefs and cooks prepare meals as you eat yours, then this is a very good alternative.

No frills, locally favorite, dine-in or take-away restaurant. First thing, do not expect Indian food. What am I taking about? Go back and read the name of the establishment. I'll wait. Second, expect traditional Portuguese food. Although they do have a minimally useful English language version of their local menu, the food comes out to the tastes of the neighborhood. For me, this meant saltier or sweeter meals than my usual comfort. As my expectation for Indian food already died as soon as I entered the restaurant and the punches that are Indian spices did not come, I learned quickly…Read more No frills, locally favorite, dine-in or take-away restaurant.

As my expectation for Indian food already died as soon as I entered the restaurant and the punches that are Indian spices did not come, I learned quickly to go with the flow. That meant if the regulars weren't complaining of food being too salty or sweat, then this must be what it should be.

Most if not all of the seafood and meats go through the one-man grilled at the very front of the house. The man cooks over a coal pit. The man is efficient. Having visited twice over the past two days, I've seen him make every use of that grill to turn over orders on lightening. How he can grill is amazing! I'm convinced this man made the place.
