Boston Globe Review ( explain this rating )
  The Most Authentic Restaurants: Portuguese     by Boston Globe staff - October 09, 2005
Capsule review: A taste of Portugal in Inman Square, this cozy cafe owned by Atasca's Joseph and Maria Cerqueira serves coffees, pastries, soups, and light meals. Bacalhau fans should opt for the flavorful salt cod sandwich with piquant red pepper mayonnaise. Save room for a postprandial queijada -- a cross between a flan and a rich vanilla cupcake.
