I LOVE THIS PLACE! Just got a job not to far from here so I've gone here about 5 or 6 times in the last month. Their happy hour deals are amazing and every time I've tried a meal it's been amazing. Not really into Sangria but I have to say theirs is amazing. The crab cakes are awesome. The service has always been wonderful. Great spot to go after work or just to hang out. Love this place.

My favorite local restaurant. Only wish they had a parking lot. Delicious seafood !!!! The desserts are a piece of heaven. Try the toasted almond cake, Italian rum wedding cake. The Paella, NY strip steak and Lobster is delicious. For the quality of food, THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!! Also, try the stuffed Mushrooms as an appetizer!

Best seafood spot in my opinion. Love this place. Had the Crabmeat stuffed lobster, greatest thing ever. Will be returning 5 Stars on everything

Evonna A.
Excellent food! The pricing is decent for the portions you get, delivery is prompt and the food is hot, delicious and tasty upon arrival. The menu has a wide selection and everything I have tried thus far has been great. One thing I don't like is the delivery minimum but I understand it. great location, ample parking and opened late.

The seafood paella, although it says it's for a serving of 2, can actually feed up to 5 people with leftovers!! I couldn't believe how much food was actually in this single dish. And the seafood in it, ohh my!! It was great. The quantity of calamari, shrimp, mussels and crab legs was beyond my expectations. The whole lobster came with 2 sides, we got the mashed potatoes and vegetables. The lobster was overcooked in some parts (but that was expected, after all it is a whole lobster that has different densities that cook at at different rates for various lengths of time). I was not impressed with the use of what looked like frozen vegetables that were pretty bland. Overall I would definitely be ordering from here again to enjoy that wonderful seafood paella for an army!

I just ordered form here today! They came really fast and the food was delicious. It's one of the better places available for this neighborhood so I'm really excited. I got the paella, and it was MASSIVE. Love! The only thing that took off a star was price, they serve mainly meat and fish dishes so it was a little pricey. Will order again though!!

Wow. You would never believe that this restaurant is located in Queens Village. The food is great. My favorite is the broiled beef ribs. I would also like the mention they have oysters! My favorite. -customer service is great. Very attentive. A must try!

I enjoy this place because it's close to home serving up some hearty comfort meals. Typical grilled entrees similar to Latin food I usually get the chicken and shrimp in garlic sauce it's pretty good! Also the lobster tails and lobster... My steak was ginormous but they cooked it exactly perfect! Portions are huge!!!! After coming here a few times Full dining room or not I noticed the food takes about 45mins or more to come out order early if your hungry! Drinks are decent!

I was disappointed about this place. The only thing really good I had was the baked clams. The best I have ever had. I had rack of lamb. Cooked to perfection even though it inconsistency of the thickness of each piece. They had flavor but nothing close to great. The vegetables on each of our dishes were over cooked. The shrimp in yellow rice had very little flavor and the shrimp were over cooked ( chewy). The salmon bites were nothing special. I love smoked salmon but this was nothing special at all. I wouldn't even make this at home. The attention was ok. But the waitress did not feel warm and inviting. The dessert was nothing great. Pecan pie was ok, not great. I would not come back here. I read others review on this spot, I don't know what their quality of food is. I had nothing special. Nothing Portuguese of this place. So sad, we spent over $100 at this place within 3 people.... not worth the trouble... The mix drinks were good, but not worth the trouble ...

I'll admit the decor of this restaurant is dated. The pink folded napkins in the glasses... yeah. But that doesn't matter, their service was really good and the food is great. The costela de vaca was moist and really flavorful. I will definitely be back here for lunch or dinner.

I found out about this place through Seamless and I'm happy I did! The steamed crab legs were everything ! I also had some wings from them that were pretty good. I'm assuming they aren't on seamless anymore because it says closed underneath their name which sucks. I guess I have to drive over there but from the other reviews I see there's no parking

Horrible! Everything was super salty. I ordered the Mixed BBQ. My side was some spinach slop and INSTANT mashed potatoes. Gag. They give big portions, but what's the point if you end up throwing the leftovers away? My family ordered Paelha, Chicken and Rice, and Shrimp and Rice. All of the rice was undercooked and tasted like the seasoned rice that comes in packets at the grocery store. Would definitely not return!

Ely Carolina A.
My family and I have been coming to Mateus for many years and we have never had a bad experience.The paella, chicken marsala, stuffed shrimp, lobster, calamari, roasted potatoes, surf and turf are amazing! The restaurant is spotless and waitress are all very friendly. Their cocktails are great too!

Alex K.
They have marvelous service and if you do go get Maria as a waiter she's very nice an always checks on the table. There lobster is very good and seasoned to perfection and there garlic chicken and shrimp is amazing. My only complaint is there appetizers which I could tell where just frozen from a grocery store and wasn't flavorful at all.
excellent garlic shrimp and paelha....best portuguese restaurant in n.y. reasonable priced and great size portions...definitely a doggy bag night..!!!!

Took my mom for an evening dinner. Food was flavorful,and service was good. Waitress kept checking on our table. I do think the Hennessy Race Car was in a glass that was too small, but otherwise, a pleasant experience. I will be returning.

Does not look like much from the outside but it is very nicely decorated inside. Very big menu with many meat and seafood entrees. Enjoyed raw oysters, delicious skirt steak served perfectly and beautiful piece of Chilean sea bass. Served with salad, fresh broccoli and baked potato. Will definitely return.

Marcy W.
I ordered the Salmon it comes with 2 sides, I ordered the mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. The mixed veggies were at best mediocre. The best part of the meal was the Mango Mousse Cake, it was very light, tangy, sweet, and lovely. I will be back but next time I will stick with either Broccoli or String beans for my side.

I went there with my husband and 2 other couples. We had seafood paella, the others had steak and seafood (shrimp, lobster, etc.). The flan for dessert was the best. Everything was yummy and very reasonably priced. The service was great and they didn't try to rush us out, when we wanted to chat for a while. We will be sure to come back again.

Well I guess I hafta give two stars since the quality of food is decent when you eat at the place and not too expensive... I ate here once with my fiancé and the food was actually really good. Two days later I ordered delivery to my house from here... Seafood was just "ok", the sausage in the paella ... Get ready for this ... Tasted like formaldehyde. I tried not to think about the taste but found my appetite to have disappeared and could not eat it. The next day or two, we both developed fevers and chills and body aches. Wtf? Sadly, though there's so much potential for this place to be great, I won't be returning. The formaldehyde taste is way too overwhelming and unforgettable....
