One of the best empanadas I’ve ever had. The lamb was seasoned perfectly and the dough was the absolute best I’ve had, in part because it was cooled absolutely perfect!!!
Food was wonderful. Store says it opens at 9AM. Was not open until after 10AM. Came back from our tour at 5PM. Everything was mostly sold out.
Carne was good.

Ham and cheese empanada was the best !!!! Had to go back for another. Must try !!!

Based on the reviews, El Porteño Empanadas offers empanadas that are to die for, with a soft, golden, buttery, flaky crust and delicious fillings. The quality of the food is amazing, and the freshness of the ingredients is noticeable. Specific meals mentioned include the panceta with spinach, mushrooms, and the Banana y Dulce de Leche empanada, which is described as the best sweet empanada. Other fillings like the Champinion (mushroom), Humita (corn), and Camaron (shrimp) are also excellent. The chicken empanada has a unique filling with raisins and olives, though some found the dough could be more crispy. The service is great, with nice staff. The location is in a shared market with other vendors. While some felt the cheese-based ones lacked flavor and the chicken could be better, the crust is amazing on all, and the chimichurri is excellent. It is a go-to for a satisfying snack or quick lunch, and definitely worth giving it a shot.
