El Porteño at the Ferry Building offers surprisingly delicious and filling empanadas at an affordable price. With a variety of flavors like mushroom and shrimp, chicken, ham and cheese, and spinach, bacon, and cheese, there is something for everyone. The empanadas are fresh, warm, and easy to eat while exploring the Ferry Building. The staff provides excellent recommendations, ensuring a satisfying experience for first-time visitors. Many customers appreciate the friendly service and variety available, perfect for a quick bite. While some reviews mention that the empanadas can feel overpriced and not always authentic, others find flavors like Carne with raisins and olives, and Spinach with bacon and parm to be delicious. The buttery, flaky pastry and savory fillings, especially the Espinacas y Panceta, are highlights that keep visitors coming back. Despite being slightly pricier than other options, El Porteño stands out for its quick service, tasty food, and convenient location.
