Porteño

Great lunch at Porteño! Kale salad was light, fresh, and delicious. Empanadas were full of flavor and not overly oily or fried. Steak was juicy and perfectly cooked. Add in the fact that it’s pretty good value, and the service and vibe are excellent, and you have a steak favorite in NYC.

Exceptionally good food here, very authentic Argentinian fare. Rib eye with a kale and bean side excellent. Bread pudding dessert was excellent. Nice service and atmosphere.

great Argentinan wine selection, amazing food (rib eye fantastic and risoto really good too) friendly and romantic view from Empire State... truly recommended!

The Porteno staff offered warmest welcome I’ve ever received in this neighborhood. I came twice for drinks and appetizers, and both times made great friends with regulars at the bar. This is a homely, down to earth restaurant with genuinely great food and drinks. Cannot wait to come back.

You have to know what to get. The risotto was not it: way too watery. But the rest of the food was awesome! I took off a star for the atmosphere because it was heavily packed and not enough space for the number of tables and guests they have each night. But the prices are reasonable and with the quality of the food, I can't complain.

More of a 3.5. Some of the food was really good, while other dishes fell short. Would recommend Lomito Completo and Empanadas were decent as well. However, the Carne Milanese had an odd flavor and the Ensalada de Quinoa was mushy and lacking texture. Service was quick and attentive, although awkward. Wouldn’t recommend given the other places in the area.

We so loved this place. Came across this using the Open Table app. From the location, to the service, to the atmosphere to the food. Be sure to stop by, it’s so worth the trip. This is an amazing place ! Darryl Vancouver, BC Canada 🇨🇦

I really liked most of the food (first time trying Argentinian food) I feel the portions were a bit too small compared to regular portions which might be a cultural thing. She asked me if I liked (mantequita) fat because the plate I asked for had a little bit which I do love mantequita but that was a lot of fat on that short rib, my side dish was not of my liking either something made out of corn. On the other hand the empanadas, calamari, fish and vegetables were delicious. The desert (hot bread pudding to die for). Services was excellent they're very nice. The price was a little high we have paid higher for 2 people but that's when we each have a 24 or 18 ribeye or a tomahawk, lobster or somethingof the sort. They also included the tip in the bill and yet had a space on the receipt for extra tip 🤔 (optional of course). The place was very clean but very tight space (again that might be a Manhattan thing but it feels like everyone is eating together in a common room. Parking was a nightmare after 25 min of circling the block and many private parkings filled to capacity we paid $45 for a 90 min parking. I definitely would like to visit again because it seemed like there's other plates that looked very good or maybe try another Argentinian restaurant and compare. Overall it was a mostly positive experience and I'm glad we went.
