I've been so excited to see a Portuguese restaurant coming into the neighborhood since the first \"coming soon!!\" In the windows.   For weeks every time I walked by I whispered \"please have shrimp rissois on the menu, please have shrimp rissois on the menu, please have shrimp rissois on the menu\".\n\nOur group of friends decided we would all go together and last night was finally the night! \n\nTHE SHRIMP RISSOIS ARE LOVELY!!! Prayers: answered.  The beauty of these little handmade fried dumplings is the crispy breaded outside with the creamy shrimpy goodness inside.  They're high on my list of comfort foods. \n\n I had the Bacalhau com natas... what a lovely plate of cod with a cheesy creamy topping,  generous portion too with black olive garnish mmm... The food was all piping hot when it got to the table.  The chorizos were flamb\u00e9d right at the table!! (And all who tried it said it was delicious and not greasy) two of our friends had a steak and cheese sandwhich with a spicy gravy and a fried egg on top - that looked amazing... two had the pork and beef skewers and commented that the spice rub was just right, flavorful with heat, but not overpowering.  My sister in law had steak with potatoes and an egg, she was impressed at how perfectly the steak was done to her order (medium rare)... \n\nWe didn't even wait for our mains to make our verdict - after the appetisers (the afore mentioned rissois, along with cod cakes and 2 chorizos) we had decided we were definitely coming back.  \n\nThe wait staff were helpful and attentive, I had trouble deciding between the two bacalhau dishes and with a single question \"do you like salty food\" our waitress helped me decide.  I've never had bacalhau com natas before and wasn't sure what to expect, while I want to try more dishes, I know that's a solid go-to for me next time I'm there. \n\nWe were all surprised, with the size of our meals - 6 mains, 6 or 7 starters - at the size of our check - only \u00a399!! It's BYOB but still, that was a nice surprise.  \n\nWe live in the neighborhood and Tugas is always fairly packed so I'd advise making a reservation.\n\nTugas Amor will, if it hasn't already, outgrow it's space, I hope it doesn't leave the neighborhood, but when and if it moves, I will happily go cross town for a fix.
