El Porteño Empanadas is a restaurant located in a pier region, offering delicious Argentinian empanadas. The Cordero (lamb braised in malbec) empanada is exceptionally savory and rich, while other flavors such as beef, chicken, and mushroom are also popular. The pastry is delightfully flaky, and the service is fast and efficient, even during busy times. Visitors appreciate the beautiful pastry and the rich, flavorful fillings, although some feel the empanadas could be overpriced and not entirely authentic. At $7 each, the empanadas are a good deal, especially with their flaky, buttery crust. The restaurant provides a lively atmosphere, ideal for a quick lunch or take-away option while exploring the ferry building. It is highly recommended for those seeking tasty empanadas or light meals, with many customers enjoying the creamy Camarones and the mushroom and cherry dessert empanadas. Reheating empanadas in the microwave is easy, making them a convenient snack or meal later on.
