Super Pinto - Take Away - Faro

Visited this canteen for lunch as we stumbled across it by accident. Person serving was really friendly and explained the dishes they had in was chicken in cream, pork with rice and boiled stingray. She joked and said it was like school as we had to grab a tray each for self service :D We got a chicken dish as well as the stingray. The chicken came with chips and rice, and we could choose a veg side dish so we got diced carrot, onions peas. The stingray came with boiled potatoes, carrot and broccoli. Portions were very generous and the plates were piled high. The chicken was a mix of breast and thigh meat was really tender fall off the bone. Stingray was really interesting and cooked well. Felt like a really healthy dish. Only issue is as the food is pre cooked, it's kinda lukewarm. Had spotted the rissoles and sadly they didn't have any bacalhau fritters but we got a meat one and a shrimp one. They were not warmed up so were a bit cold but were fairly tasty. With two drinks, everything came up to a little more than €15 which was really good value definitely filled us up! The place was pretty busy when we visited and seemed popular with the locals. It reminded us of the lokantas in Turkey! Went to the toilet got really tickled by the images used to differentiate the gents from the ladies lol a sense of humour is always welcome : Definitely worth a visit for the kind friendly service and tasty food in generous portions which won't break the bank!

Great service on 2 occasions for lunch. Tried the rice with octopus and the rice with monkfish. They do insist on offering you the couvert the Portuguese 'amuse bouche ' of cheese, olives etc. which we declined. Overall, a very good spot for lunch, clean and efficient and they do seem to care about what they are doing. Also, seemed to be frequented by lots of locals, so always a good sign.

Gosto muito de estar a estagiar neta equipa são uma família. Obrigada pela oportunidade.

Buo cibo e prezzi giusti, oltre che essere accolti con simpatia e poi anche ottima cioccolata

We have been going there since we found it coming from site seeing the church's in Faro.. Which was a long time ago.. It is our favourite place to eat.. We never eat anywhere else.. The Owner and her parents are wonderful people..kind and friendly. Can't say enough about them except thanks for making our holidays to Portugal that much more fun and enjoyable..
