“El Porteño empanadas are by far the best I've ever had. I am the manager/owner of Finnegans Wake, a non-food service bar in San Francisco. We partnered with El Porteño in August 2020 to be able to reopen and serve food to our customers. The empanadas are so popular!! People come in and order several at a time, and you can hear people exclaim in satisfaction the tastiness of the empanadas. We will happily continue to serve El Porteño’s empanadas once the pandemic concludes and the food requirements are no longer necessary in San Francisco.” (5/5 star service)

“El Porteño’s empanadas provided a nice addition to our in-house cafe items to provide a more rounded menu. Their quality and commitment to authenticity are second-to-none. These delicious, flavorful handheld pies are the perfect snack for those on the go! El Porteño has received a lot of acclaim for their empanadas, and it is truly well deserved. They are the best and most authentic empanadas in the Bay Area.” (5/5 star service)
