I'm half Nicaraguan so I was excited to eat here. It was all delicious and homemade. AC has been fixed by the way. It was nice and cold in there.

She said that if they made the omelette " juicy" it is like raw! I told her that weekly when I order from Ay Papa Que Rico, I spend around $78 each time and I like to be satisfied ( I order a full chicken.... Which THAT IS VERY TASTY AND GOOD!)

A cozy spot that caters to the locals, and I'm pretty sure I was the only non-Spanish speaker that day lol. All the same, the ladies running the restaurant were all super kind, if a bit surprised to see me eating at their establishment. Ordered gallo pinto (small) and nacatamal, both served in generous portions (enough for leftovers). Both were really tasty, hearty and flavorful. No frills, but I enjoyed them. Not expensive at all, totaling just under $15 that gave me two meals! Definitely try Nicaraguan food in your lifetime!

However, my biggest disappointment was the chicharrón ( nothing but inflated air ) It tasted store-bought instead of fresh and authentic, which was surprising for a restaurant representing Nicaraguan cuisine. That was honestly the only major issue with our visit. Everything else was good, but authentic, freshly made chicharrón would make a huge difference and better match the quality of the rest of the food. I hope this is something the restaurant can improve on because the potential is definitely there.

Nothing Nicaraguan about it. The meat had been marinated in either too much salt or was in vinegar for too long. The gallo Pinto was awful. A nice cut of cheese, but the cheese tasted like nothing. Might as well have been tofu. The only thing tasty on the plate was the cabbage that is prepared for pupusas. Nicas' have a similar cabbage salad. so all in all, it was a disappointment. I have a hunch their pupusa's may be good. But as far as Nicaraguan cuisine - they have failed. Adelitas on pico & Union has the best Nica Carne Azada

We came to visit. Los Angeles From San Francisco, to spend some times. My wife was craving to have Fritanga. First thing she did ask me when she woke up in the morning I feel I wanted to have Fritanga, I did search on google. First thing came out on the browser was this. Restaurant Portobancos. I told my family lets go try this Restaurant that I found online. Dispite that we got a little lost. But we finally found the location. I will definitely recommend this Restaurant to friend and family to visit it. If they happen to come to Los Angeles. Food it's good very tasty and therefore the services is phenomenal.

I ordered the churrasco and the…read morecarne asada plate -- one came with classic gallo pinto and the other with rice and beans, both cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The meats were well-seasoned, tender, and had that great grilled, smoky taste you want from these dishes. We also ordered tostones on the side, which were crispy and great for dipping, but the real surprise was the fried cheese -- absolutely amazing. Salty, golden, and perfectly crisp on the outside while still soft inside. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. Overall, a really satisfying experience with hearty portions, authentic flavors, and sides that definitely deserve attention. I'd happily go back to try more from the menu. Service was great. They brought the food pretty quickly. And we're helpful on trying to decide what to eat. Everything in the menu look tasty and I think these were probably one of the top choices. There's plenty of seating good for family, friends, and for date dates. They do offer valley parking as well. Unless you find parking in the street.

Very small and delicious family-owned, hole in the wall restaurant!…read more Parking can be difficult since they don't have their own parking lot but there is street parking if you're lucky! Inside was quite small and doesn't have too much seating. Don't come here if you're in a hurry because food takes awhile. My group of 5 waited ~20 min for our food after ordering. The restaurant can be easily missed since it is a little hidden and it seems like they keep the doors locked because of all the chaos happening lately. Menu had a good variety of meat and seafood dishes. Pricing was reasonable and most of the dishes were ~$20+. Portions are HUGE so make sure to come with a big appetite! Service was very friendly and welcoming Got #9 (Fritanga) - $20.50 and it came with gallo pinto (rice and beans), arroz blanco (white rice), carne asada (grilled meat), tajada frita (fried sliced green plantain), platano frito (fried ripe plantain), maduros (sweet plantain), yuca, queso frito (fried cheese), tortilla and cabbage salad. The Gallo pinto was a little dry and could use a little more seasoning but it was still pretty good. The carne asada was quite flavorful and would have been better if it was more tender. The fried plantains were amazing and super sweet! The fried cheese was interesting and so delicious! The cabbage salad reminded me of a coleslaw so it was nothing special. Overall, I really enjoyed how much food was given and most of the items were very good! This was 8/10 The Maracuya (Passionfruit) drink ($7.50) was way too sweet that I had to add water so that it would be less sweet. I didn't enjoy this and it didn't taste fresh so this was 5/10 Would definitely recommend and return

The food is mediocre. This is one of the closest Nicaraguan places near my family's neighborhood. I'm not impressed. The cacao is real good so is the Fritanga. Today, I tried carne desmenuzada (shredded beef) no flavor whatsoever. I'm not coming back. I paid $81.00 and left the rest of the food. There's only three car spaces to park. The waiter is a teenager. He's very shy. Cute kid, but professionals would be better to serve. Their cook needs to improve or this place is not going to survive with their $$$ prices. I would gladly paid but not for their food or the cuisine they prepped.

Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. I ordered nacatamales to go and was given one that was not fully cooked. My mom ate some of it and didn't realize it until after she had eaten some of the masa and noticed that the rice and pork inside were still undercooked. She later became ill. Undercooked pork can pose a serious health risk, so this was especially concerning. To make matters worse, my mom used the restroom and noticed toilet paper in the trash that had fecal matter on it. It was extremely unhygienic and honestly disgusting. The only positive thing I can say about this visit was that the customer service was good. Unfortunately, the food safety and cleanliness issues overshadowed that, and I would not feel comfortable returning.
