Tasting Porteño: An Argentinian Delight in NYC
Nestled at 299 10th Ave, New York, Porteño has become quite the hidden gem for those craving Argentinian cuisine. I had the chance to experience it with friends, and wow, it did not disappoint!
First off, let’s talk about the vibe. Imagine a cozy space beneath the high line, filled with warm lighting and wooden decor. It’s got that intimate charm, perfect for catching up or a date night. Not too crowded, but busy enough to feel lively—definitely a good sign!
Now, onto the food. The short rib? Absolutely a standout! Super tender, juicy—like a hug in meal form. Honestly, it might just be the best short rib I’ve ever had, paired with a baked potato that’s a healthier twist. But hey, the corn cake? Just a smidge softer than I expected, but the flavor was on point.
Dessert? Oh, you can’t skip it here! I had these cute little macaroon-like pastries with a scoop of mate ice cream. Talk about a sweet ending! Just when I thought desserts couldn’t get better, they proved me wrong.
Service? Super friendly. The staff genuinely seemed to care, coming by not just when I needed a refill, but to chat and make sure everything was right. You know how sometimes you just feel that warmth from your server? It was like that!
For those wondering about the crowd, it does pack up, especially around dinner time. So, making a reservation is a wise idea. And the menu? Great variety—from classic empanadas to a killer lamb dish. Everything felt really authentic.
Overall, Porteño is a little corner of Argentina in the heart of Chelsea. With a solid score of 4.5 out of 5 and 532 reviews backing it up, it’s clear this place knows how to impress. If you’re in the area and haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and stop by.
But remember, whether it’s for dinner after a busy day or lunch with pals, Porteño is a must-visit. You’ll leave buzzing with good food and even better memories!
