    Friendly staff and great food. We ordered both the beef and pork burgers. I personally like the beef burger more as I am not a huge fan of the cheese that came with the pork burger, but my husband loved both burgers equally. Must try the tuna fritters!

    Amazing! If you are in a bad mood and come here for lunch or dinner you will leave in a great mood. The food is delicious (probably the best burgers and fries we ever had) and the staff is extraordinary nice! You almost can taste the love which they probably use to spice the burgers :) Make sure to also try the homemade lemonade. Once we are back in Faial we will immediatly come back here again. During lunch time you will have some waiting time, but it‘s worth it. For dinner there are way less people.

    We had to wait 2 long years to finally get back to Ah! Boca Santa and it was worth the wait! We actually ate there 3 times during our stay. One meal was Saturday brunch and it was fantastic. The favorite by far was the Pork Burger! We are always impressed with the hustle of this team and they still find time to look up, smile and engage in conversation. Prices are very fair - portions are perfect! Keep up the excellent work. See you next summer.

    I had an amazing hamburger! I tasted both the beef and the pork one. The chips were delicious and homemade too. I appreciated a lot the tipical bread, soft and a little sweet. The guy who served us was very nice and careful. I spent 13€.

    The food here was incredible! We ordered the crispy chicken burger, which was their special for the day, and their pork and beef burgers, all of which were immaculate. Cooked to perfection, and all so flavorful and tasty. We came back the next day which happened to be Saturday morning, and had their brunch. Had the lemon curd and berry and white chocolate pancakes, which somehow even topped the burgers from the day before. This place is incredible, would recommend to everyone who visits Horta!

    Very cute place in the city central market. We had brunch there, there were all the usual options (toast, pancakes, cakes…) with local products. Strongly recommend !

    Best place to eat on Faial hands down. The bread is freshly baked by the owners, and all ingredients are top quality. Service is also top quality as the owner talks to every customer and asks if everything is good. The burgers are one of the best in Portugal. We came back two times.

    Since we moved to Faial in early May, we've been visiting Ah! Boca Santa at least once a week (sometimes twice). Their burgers (pork, beef, and vegetarian) are always so phenomenally fresh and on homemade Bolo lêvedo buns. We also thoroughly enjoy their fresh seasonal juices (passion fruit lemonade!), delicious cappuccino, and their yummy beers too. And don't forget their salad and mixed fries! Oh, and their tuna ball appetizers (forgetting the name) are to die for. The owners and staff are also incredibly friendly and patient, even when we try out our pithy phrases as we learn Portuguese. 😉

  • 5/5 HicTurbaEst 8 months ago on Google
    Altogether great food. This really is one of the few trendy (i.e. heavily instagramable) spots in Faial. Burgers are very fairly priced, even though you pay the difference in lemonade and sides. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Moritz P. 9 months ago on Google
    Wow, didn’t expect anything like this! One, if not the best, burger I had in my life. Simple and high quality ingredients from the island. Taste the lemonade as well! Take a chocolate cake and coffee afterwards as well!

  • 5/5 Danny H. 6 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jacqueline M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The beef burger was delicious. I would even say one of the tastiest burgers I have eaten so far (even in Germany). The service was also very friendly. If it fits in time, we try a second time to go there. (Original) Der Beef Burger war super lecker. Ich würde sogar sagen, einer der leckersten Burger, die ich bisher (auch in Deutschland) gegessen habe. Die Bedienung war zudem sehr freundlich. Wenn es zeitlich passt, versuchen wir ein zweites Mal dorthin zu gehen.

  • 5/5 Marcel T. 1 year ago on Google
    We had their vegetarian burger, which was delicious and came in a Bolo bun! As many people praised the fries so much we had to try them ourself, and loved them too. The homemade lemonade is a fresh and sour treat. The staff and owner is kind and service-minded, which is a rare find in the Açores. Overall an amazing place we can absolutely recommend eating at!

    Note: for non Portugese customers, make sure you have cash or a Portugese credit card. went for a stroll in Horta and came across this restaurant after seeing the great reviews. Prices were on the higher side but the food was good. Had two burgers and they were gourmet quality. Some of the other foods were not available which may be because we went there close to their closing time.

  • 5/5 A. W. 1 year ago on Google
    Go there when you are in Horta! Best burger I had in a long time! Super friendly service! Delicious food and homemade lemonade. Can only recommend it and I think this is my first five star comment!

  • 5/5 Cláudia P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I advise booking a table. It is a restaurant / kiosk with a terrace inside the vegetable market with a super friendly atmosphere. The menu is small but more than adequate. Facilitates choice. And maybe that's why they invest well in the quality of what they serve. The hamburgers are delicious and served with yeast cake. I loved it. I also tasted the vegetarian. Very good! Potatoes sprinkled with paprika. . The chocolate cake (with pieces of walnut filling inside - good idea), excellent! At the sugar point. There was no coffee. Stay for one day this week, with chocolate cake, of course! In the service, nothing to point out. Clearly good people. (Original) Aconselho a reserva de mesa. É um restaurante/quiosque com a esplanada dentro do mercado da horta com um ambiente super simpático. O menu é pequeno mas mais do que suficiente. Facilita a escolha. E talvez por isso invistam bem na qualidade do que servem. Os hamburgers são deliciosos e servidos com bolo lêvedo. Adorei. Também provei o vegetariano. Muito bom! Batatas polvilhadas com paprica. . O bolo de chocolate (com pedaços de noz camada de recheio interior - boa ideia), excelente! No ponto de açúcar. Faltou o café. Fica ainda para um dia desta semana, com bolo de chocolate, claro! No serviço, nada a apontar. Claramente boa gente.

    (Translated by Google) Like Mc Donald, like Burger King, these are some of the best you'll ever eat. I also advise the homemade sweets and drinks made by the owners themselves. (Original) Qual Mc Donald, qual Burguer King, estas são das melhores que vais algum dia comer. Aconselho também os doces e bebidas caseiras confecionadas pelos próprios donos.

  • 5/5 Dalila 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Best Vegetarian Hamburger Ever !! (Including outside the archipelago). And the combination of bread (yeast cake) with all the other elements ... Divine! Accompaniment equally delicious. The generous (in addition to) dose is certainly satisfying! Very friendly and attentive / efficient service, from the moment of ordering, during the meal and until the farewell. Health care provided from the beginning to the end of the meal. "Boca Santa", the name delights and the food delights! I recommend and without a doubt that I will be back very soon to try the remaining proposals! Happiness and much success! (Original) Melhor Hambuger Vegetariano de Sempre!! (Incluindo fora do arquipélago). E a conjugação do pão (bolo levedo) com todos os outros elementos... Divinal! Acompanhamento igualmente delicioso. A dose, (para além de) generosa é sem dúvida saciante! Atendimento muitíssimo simpático e atencioso/eficiente, desde o momento dos pedidos, durante a refeição e até à despedida. Cuidados sanitários assegurados desde o início até ao fim da refeição. "Boca Santa", o nome encanta e a comida delicia! Recomendo e sem dúvida que voltarei muito em breve para experimentar as restantes propostas! Felicidade e muito sucesso!

    (Translated by Google) Ah! Boca Santa ... Boca is ours but Santa are the little hands and the recipes they use to captivate customers always the same as the day they always open, and then the Pico top grape lemonade is simply good. I really recommend (Original) Ah! Boca Santa...boca é a nossa mas Santa são as mãozinhas e as receitas que usam para cativar os clientes sempre igual ao dia que abriram sempre bom, e então a limonada de uva do Pico top simplesmente bom. Recomendo a sério

    (Translated by Google) Small kiosk very well decorated with pieces of artisans from the Azores. The menu is well balanced. I chose the Cambrela hamburger and a mix of fries and yams ... very good! Everything very tasty, fresh! A good example of what goes well with local products. (Original) Pequeno quiosque muito bem decorado com peças de artesãos dos Açores. O menu está bem equilibrado. Escolhi o hambúrguer Cambrela e um mix de batata frita e inhame...muito bom!

    Visited today for lunch, and although I have visited the market many times (and resident on the island for early 2 years), I have not stopped here for food before. My friend suggested that it was a great place to eat - she was not wrong! It caters for vegetarians, and she had a vegetarian burger, while I opted for the beef burger. Helped along with some sweet potato chips and a beer to wash it down with. In short, my burger was nothing short of fantastic: Well balanced, succulent and beautifully presented. The menu on the page lists the ingredients, not a simple burger by any means, but not one that totally overwhelms. Just right. Bread 'bun' is a delight. The fries hot and crispy - also I got to sample some regular 'chips' which are hand prepared too, and also fabulous. The beer was an Indian Pale ale, whose name escapes me, but it was very good, imported from San Miguel. Overall, a complete surprise and a super place for lunch. I will be back!

  • 5/5 Jonas V. 3 years ago on Google
    Exceptional burger place and in itself one of the highlights of Horta. Both the beef and the pork burgers were extraordinary and served on the Azorean Bolo Levedo buns. Super well balanced and really tasty. Staff is really friendly and helpful.
