Beira Alta Deli/cafe in Boston

Sandra’s Kitchen is a hidden Gem in Boston. Blink and you might miss it! From appearances, it looks like a café you could just walk by. Even step inside you may wonder? Never mind the TV on a Portuguese channel, or how few people inside. Sandra’s cooking is amazing beyond what you can imagine for the value and cheap prices on the menu. She’s Portuguese and it’s Portugues cuisine. But order any steak and it’ll be cooked exactly as you might hope. The seafood is also excellent. The food is all fresh and freshly cooked. while you wait, and you expect to be very pleasantly surprised not just in taste by portion and price far too cheap! I don’t know how she does it. I’m American, but been in England 30 years. I’m quite critical when it comes to steaks, especially in the UK! But the best T-bone steak I ever had was in this restaurant, and it was huge! I was shocked it was fraction of the price anywhere else! I’ve paid 2- 3 times as much in fine restaurants and been very disappointed, not here. so if you wanna incredible meal and amazing price and don’t need a fancy restaurant to eat in, then this is the place you must try in Boston!

I had the dish of the day, pork belly, was excellent. Accompanying salad was beautifully seasoned. Freshly cooked food at a great price. Would not hesitate to return.

Visited today at approx14.45. Went to the lottery kiosk and the last member of staff gave me the impression that she didn't want to be there. This has become apparent with this member of staff on a few occasions. She literally threw my lottery purchase at me. No goodbye or anything. When I worked in a face to face position we were trained to welcome the customer with a smile or good morning/afternoon/evening how can I help? I think this member of staff needs re training in customer service I.e people skills. I know people have bad days,but you are there to represent the store so please smile it doesn't hurt does it? I know it is hard in this day and age good luck.
