Porteña

Third stop of our food crawl in Brixton Market. Ordered a beef Empanada to try. It was served hot. Pastry shell is similar to our Cornish pasty. It was stuffed with traditional Argentinian empanada filling ingredients. The flavours were subtle. Would recommend for traditional Argentinian empanada.

Hands down, best empanadas I’ve ever eaten. Originally discovered Portena in Borough Market, then visited their restaurant Chimichurris (also great), and now very happy to have another way to get my Empanada fix in Brixton. People tend to go for the Beef & Chicken, but I beg you - do NOT sleep on the Ham & Cheese - close second favourites include the Cheese & Onion / Caprese coming in neck and neck, and the Spinach & Ricotta is also a banger. Yes… it’s a lot of cheese, no… you will not regret it.

Always love the fresh empanadas here. Great flavours and price! Also the red wine is lovely!

Great steak panini and the chorizo sandwich a big big hit!

I stopped in here a few weeks ago after record shopping at Lion Vibes. I was greeted and welcomed by a very friendly staff. I wanted a small and quick snack and ordered a Chicken empanada. The dough was flaky and the filling hot and delicious. The empanada had the word chicken stamped into the fold of the dough which I thought was very clever.

We had 3 of the empanadas and they were all delicious. The staff were really friendly ad we have a great chat about Argentina.

Super delicious Empanadas. If you're a fan of spice they also have a delicious spicy sauce to go with 😋

Lovely new addition to the village. The empanadas were pretty big and super tasty. The steak sandwich is a must try!!
