El Porteno I

Excellent neighborhood restaurant. I placed a large order for a particular time to pick up. It was prompt, fresh, complete and delicious.The menu has wonderful variety, and options. Priced accordingly. Service was very good. Be advised, parking is a challenge. But the meal is the reward for your attempt. I definitely recommend you give their menu a try.

While this place was just alright for the dish prices. Order: Papa Al la huancaína (Poyato with ají pepper sauce) - sauce was awesomely creamy but could have used more flavor. Yucca frita (fried plaintanes)- This was excellent. Nice Golden crisp outside with a fluffy interior. Chiaufa de pollo (Chichen fried rice) - simple fried rice that seemed skimpy on the ingredients. Chicken pieces were like small squishy cubes. Drink: Inca kola can - normal Inca kola in glass bottle - much much better. Sweeter. Probably uses real sugar and basically makes me never want to drink canned Inca kola again. Dessert: Alfajores - pretty much perfect. Soft, just the right amount of chewiness and sweetness. Wish we could have got more but just 2 (while slightly bigger than average) added $5 to the bill. Thoughts: Decor and background music was nice. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. They had a whole more Chinese food menu we didn't try but the chicken in in the chiaufa makes me doubt we'd go back to try it.

They were shady. They overcharged me and when I asked why I did not get charged the prices posted in the window, the woman said, "Oh, you need to ask for those prices before you order." Anything to make a buck! Keep your extra $6! Buy some integrity with it! I won't go back. I won't recommend the place to others.
