El Porteño Empanadas serves delicious empanadas with flavorful fillings and a buttery, flakey crust. Located in the Ferry Building, El Porteño is a solid stop for those craving warm, flaky empanadas, even if it requires a bit of splurging. The restaurant is surrounded by other artisan vendors and offers plenty of seating nearby for those wishing to enjoy their meal by the water or while people-watching. Favorites include the mushroom and jamon y queso options, and customers can also find a generous selection of both traditional and unique fillings like beef, chicken, and vegetarian choices.
While prices may be steep, with two empanadas costing around $15, the portions are satisfying, and many find that one is enough to fill them up. The empanadas can be reheated at home, maintaining their comforting flavor. The service is friendly and efficient, with staff who have mastered the fast-paced environment of a busy tourist spot. The atmosphere is take-away only, but the tasty offerings make it a reliable Ferry Building bite. The crust remains buttery and the fillings flavorful, providing a cozy snack experience, perfect for a casual meal.
