Place was amazing only thing i would like is to be quiter it was very noisey but i would definitly go back also the burger meat was great but had no seasoning no flavor but ingridients where good
Food used to be better. Empanadas are smaller than before. Customer service is just ok. 2 ladies running to help many tables. We were waiting for more than 10 min to get the menu and water

LaChona is an excellent Argentinian wine and empanada restaurant located on the west side of Portland. They have an excellent selection of wine from Argentina. My favorite was the malbec. The empanadas were so delicious I didn't want to stop eating! I also recommend the flan as a great way to end the meal. In addition, the service was outstanding.

We love La Chona. The only complaint I would have is they often don't have the menu items that are advertised or on their menu. Whether it be from running out or supply team issues. I'm not sure what the problem is. But of the four times I've been there I have had to pivot three of the four times. It will not stop us from coming to this restaurant. But it is disappointing when you're looking forward to a specific item and they don't have it due to either poor planning or supply issues. Especially on Father's Day when we specifically chose this restaurant due to an advertisement for a specific item. They did take care of us. it just puts added stress on the staff. Which isn't really fair. 
We had such a lovely gals happy hour! Food was delicious, wine was amazing! Loved the decor and feel of the whole experience. The cheese and cracker plate could be elevated but otherwise no complaints! Empanadas were fabulous!

Tried this on a spur of the moment and it turned out excellent. The food was good, the wine excellent. Paired real well with the food we chose. The server was great. Timely and answered my questions. Will likely go again.

Waaaay overpriced and while the empanadas taste great, don't expect to feel full afterwards. It's a gem of a restaurant in terms of ambiance, but the wine isn't affordable, and you barely get any in your GIANT glass. Wish they had more variety in their sides. Also, didn't understand why some of the sides cost more than the empanadas.
The restaurant was beautifully decorated. The tables were simple and gorgeous. The hostess gave us our menus and we walked ourselves to the upstairs table. The drinks were fantastic! The empanadas were amazing, but so very small.
The empanadas were great, larger than we expected, the fruit and cheese starter was huge and the wine sampler was great. My wife was still talking the next morning about how much she enjoyed our meal.

Food and service were impeccable. Wine pairings were very good and server offered us samples of other wines as well. Only critique is that it was freezing cold in the lower dining room and most guests had their coats on during their meals.

We had a great experience at LaChona! Our first time and won't be our last. The Valentines Day experience was amazing. We underestimated the amount of food, which is a good thing. Everyone from greeting to server to food runner were all friendly. 10/10

I had a wonderful experience here for my first time. The wine, food, service and atmosphere were all fantastic. Great spot to spend an evening in conversation with friends and loved ones.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Party of six, four of us had the wine flight each, so this added to the bill. Shared salads and the each of us had 2 empanadas. Wine flights were fun and elegant, served on a multi-level stand. Empanadas were delicious! You really need to order 2 to make a dinner. Adding the salad is good too. It got to be pricy with the wine, salads, and empanadas, but it was all delicious and fun. The woman who served us was nice, polite, and didn't mind taking a few minutes to answer questions and take our picture. I only gave it a star lower than perfect due to the overall price.
The best empanadas in the United
