El Porteñito is a Colombian food truck that offers authentic and delicious dishes. Known for its amazing atmosphere, with seating among trees, it is also pet and family friendly. The "patacon mix to" remains a popular choice, featuring a crispy fried base, possibly made of banana, and topped with flavorful beef. The Bandeja Paisa is a traditional meal packed with ingredients, though it may feel rushed in its preparation, leading to drier meat and undercooked arepa. The Salchipapa presentation in takeout orders can differ from the pictures, with sauces served separately. Customers appreciate the fresh and tasty food, including vegan and vegetarian options. Sundays feature seafood specials, and fresh Colombian juices are a must-try. The owner is known for ensuring guests feel comfortable and happy. Despite minor shortcomings, El Porteñito is a great choice for those seeking authentic Colombian flavors in Gainesville.
