★★★★★ If you’re looking for authentic flavors, generous portions, and unbeatable quality, this spot is a must-try!
From the perfectly seasoned Arroz con Pollo to the crispy, flavorful Patelitos, every bite delivers a taste of tradition. The Arepa Rellena is stuffed with tender, juicy meat, creating the perfect balance of crunch and softness. And don’t even get me started on the Aborrajado—sweet, gooey, and absolutely addictive!
For only $3, the Frijoles are a rich, hearty side that pairs beautifully with any dish, while the Pastel de Yuca is a unique, satisfying treat you won’t find just anywhere.
🔥 Incredible value, rich flavors, and that home-cooked feel you crave. Whether you’re new to Latin cuisine or a lifelong fan, this place will keep you coming back. Highly recommend!

El Porteñito is an absolute gem! The food here is consistently fantastic, with generous portion sizes that are more than satisfying. The quality and flavors are spot on, making every dish a delight to enjoy. On top of that, the prices are unbeatable—much more affordable than other spots like Tinker, without compromising on taste or portion size. If you’re looking for amazing food at a great value, El Porteñito is the place to go. Highly recommend!

The Empanadas de Carne, Pollo, Camarón / Beef, Chicken, Shrimp Empanadas (Chicken/Pollo) was on point. Very flavorful, moist, fresh, with a crisp outside. Everything else was mediocre at best. The steak portion was small, the chicharron was greasy and undercooked, the Yuca Frita / Fried Cassava was soggy and greasy, the chorizo was flavorful but a little too burnt and greasy for my liking.

I ordered a bandeja paisa. Rice wasn't fully cooked. Meat tasted just like vinegar, no seasonings whatsoever. Beans were really good. The portion of food for the price was decent. Would I ordered it again, no.

Hoy pude comprar y de verdad que no fue lo que esperé, el plátano frito que pedí todo aguado, y el chicharrón viejo, y sabia a puro aceite quemado , lo siento pero solo daré una estrella
