What people say about Petiscos "Downtown"
Usually, what is heard about is more related to the diversity of plates rather than to a particular dish. Such foods as scallops, octopus, duck rice, linguiça, beef tongue, and seafood rice are mentioned quite often in the positive reviews. The vibrant downtown location adds a social touch to the meal. Employees of the restaurant are usually described as friendly, and customers who have some knowledge of Portuguese cuisine like to see unusual plates on the menu. The only complaint is related to the value of the food: several customers are not satisfied with the size of some dishes in relation to their cost.
About Petiscos "Downtown"
Petiscos adds to downtown San Jose the small-plate cooking style of Portugal. They feature seafood, cured meat, rice dishes, sandwiches, and croquettes but give them the casual touch for shared consumption.
For tourists in San Jose looking for Portuguese cuisine, this is a good spot to discover other than the popularly known Portuguese cod dishes. A table may go from clams and linguiça to duck rice, seafood rice, or Francesinha and end up with some Portuguese desserts.
The fact that it is on South First Street also means that it is convenient for pre- and post-downtown events. Reservations are recommended during busy days to give the group sufficient time to sample many petiscos.
As the menu has a lot of items and different portions, it is advised to ask the waiter how many petiscos can comfortably be served per the number in the group.
