Liz, my grandma always said it meant more for me! I don't have any idea of
a literal translation, as Cheri says, some things just don't translate well!

Hi Liz,
I think this is one of those things that is best left untranslated, because
it doesn't make sense.
Ficar has a lot of translations. From Google Translate (and note the
frequency used on the right hand side).

I’m so happy to read this!! Our fam came from Azores and Lisbon but it was my
great grandmother who often said “mais fica” when someone didn’t finish all of
their food. She was from the Azores and loved to eat. Last names ‘Deniz’ and
‘Sobral’ (Sovral). They were farmers who settled in Hayward
it in a playful manner myself.

Mas fica was the one phrase I remembered from my grandparents, too. I have
asked many Portuguese if they knew the phrase and all I ever got
was...'huh?'. I'm glad to know some of my 'cousins' also used and still use
the phrase. My grandparents used it often as I was a picky eater.

It's actually Mais fica not mas fica
The difference in not having the i is quite important.
Mais fica: there's more for me
Mas fica: but stay
