Tried Pollo (chicken) and Cereza (black berries). Both taste great. Short line around 11am on Sunday.
I had the banana and caramel empanada…. Soooo good! On my recent trip back they had run out of that flavor :(
First and foremost, I have to apologize for not having a better photo of my empanada! Our family each bought one before heading to Angel Island and packed them away to enjoy later. As tempting as it was to eat them immediately while they were still warm and filling the air with their amazing aroma, we wanted to save them for a picnic with a view and it ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the day.
Even after cooling down, my mushroom empanada was phenomenal....read full review

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. Reviews also praise the mushroom empanada’s flaky pastry and flavorful filling, and recommend the Cereza, maradona, and champinon.
