Absolutely cracking steak and tip top service, lovely young lady served us and was polite.
Late night grub?
Give this place a go.
Great value for a Saturday lunch, 3 empanadas and a beer or wine for £10. Food was fab and reminded me of when I lived in Argentina. We'll be back. Muchas gracias

Amazing food. Beef sandwich with chimichurri, ricotta & spinach empanaditas and Quilmes beer.
Portena serve the best Steak and Empanadas south of the river!
Genial el lugar divino!!!! Me sentí como en casa!!!!
I have travelled the world and these are the most amazing empanadas I have tasted
Muy bien amigos les mando saludos desde Chihuahua. México
Well well only had empañada this time but it is the best we've had so far. It was served warm and the filling was quite generous. Very delicious! Will go again to Porteña as we love to go to Borough Market at least once a month!
Great food, great service and a great price make Porteña a great option for tasting the original Argentinian pastries. I went with my wife and we had an excellent time there. Apart from that, Jimena's customer service is amazing. She is courteous, polite, fast and has great customer service. In conclusion, a place where I will definitely go again.

Portena is a popular Argentinian eatery located in Stoney Street in London. The restaurant specializes in Argentinian street food, and their empanadas are some of the best in the city.
The empanadas are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and are filled with a variety of delicious fillings, such as beef, chicken, cheese, and vegetables. They are then baked to perfection and served piping hot.
I recently visited Portena and tried the mixed empanadas platter, which comes with six empanadas of different flavors. I particularly enjoyed the beef and cheese empanadas, which were both flavorful and juicy. The pastry was also perfectly flaky and crispy.
The other empanadas that I tried were also delicious. The chicken empanada was moist and flavorful, and the vegetable empanada was a great option for vegetarians.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Portena. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was inviting. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great portable eat in London.
Good quality empanadas with an attractive range of fillings to choose from. The tomato and mozzarella was our favourite with its gooey centre. The cheese and onion filling was ok but I would have preferred chunks of onion inside to give texture and more taste.
I grew up in Argentina and must say the ham and cheese empanada is spectacular. One of the best I’ve had. Then chicken was scrumptious as well. The onion and cheese seemed to lack flavor—perhaps more sautéed onions could help. While I didn’t care for the chimichuri either, I did appreciate the food and service overall. One of my best meals in London. Yum!
Not the best I've had but delicious empanadas. Highly recommend
The empanadas are to die for, especially the spinach and ricotta empanada, and the mozzarella and tomato ones. They’re so fresh and tasty, I will definitely go back for them! They have an offer that allows you to buy 3 empanadas for 9.5 pounds instead of 10.5, where the price of one empanada is 3.5. We also had the steak sandwich which I’d say was average for my taste, the meat itself was chewy and lacked salt in my opinion, but is a proper portion and costs about 11-12 pounds. The staff is really friendly overall.
Perfect place to stop by for a quick and tasty dinner, or for a social evening with friends. I recommend trying the tomato and mozzarella and the spinach and ricotta empanadas with a glass of Malbec!
Best empanadas and chimichurri! Ordered the ham and cheese, ate it out front and had to buy two more for the road! Well worth the wait for freshly baked ones, so perfect! Dug in before taking a picture lol
I’m from Uruguay so love empanadas, and this place didn’t disappoint. 2 is probably enough, and 3 will make you very full. Good range of empanadas to choose from, (even if you’re veggie), although there was none with provolone (as advertised online).
