Excellent Argentinian empanadas and a standout steak sandwich at Borough Market, with quick counter service and limited seating rules that some find strict.
Portena Shop delivers reliable Argentinian street food with strong empanada execution and a celebrated steak sandwich, supported by impressive speed even during peak service. However, occasional batch variability and order inconsistencies prevent a higher grade, while efficient but sometimes abrupt counter service and tight seating limit the overall experience. A solid neighborhood destination for quality handheld fare, though not among the area's premier dining establishments.
One caveat: Seating policy enforcement can be perceived as rude, especially when mixed with food from other stalls
