The alfajores are an offense to Argentina, of very poor quality. I do not recommend.

Fantastic fresh empanadas. Great for a simple snack or buy a few and have a meal. Not inexpensive, but well worth the price. Service is fast and friendly. Don't be put off by a long line. The ambiance is that of a crowded ferry building marketplace. There is nowhere to sit and eat unless you go outside and find a spot on the curb.
We went over to the Ferry Building marketplace with some out of town friends and we were looking for some quick ready to eat food for lunch. We headed for El Porteno Empanadas. Ambience: With the hustle and bustle of the marketplace buzz, the long lines move rapidly as folks know what they want when they order their empanadas. Food: FUGAZZETA with aged cheddar cheese, shaved onions, and oregano - it was tasty with the creamy texture of the melted cheese.. CHAMPINONES with the Far West fungi, local mushrooms, shallots, parmesan cheese, and Crème fraiche - it was delicious with the umami flavor of the cooked mushrooms. The other empanadas filled with meat like CARNE (grass-fed beef), POLLO (Mary’s natural chicken), JAMON Y QUESO (prosciutto), CAMARONES (shrimp), CORDERO (lamb), and PANCETA (bacon). Service: The staff knows how to keep the lines moving as they fill my order with the “pre-stamped name” bag with the correct empanada. Next time I will try the other 3 varieties of vegetarian empanadas: MARADONA (mozzarella, tomatoes, & basil), ACELGA (fresh chard, Gruyère cheese, & pine nuts), & HUMITA (sweet white corn & roasted red peppers). Sounds yummy!! All my empanadas were TASTY & DELICIOUS … at El Porteno Empanadas at the San Francisco’s Ferry Building.
Very good (I guess empanadas?!) here. The lamb, apple, and banana ones are just amazing!! I highly recommend this place for a quick bite.
Great service and incredible food! The Maradona was our favorite but we'd eat every one of them again! And Quilmes on tap!
