    POSTA!!!!! So we came in here for a drink. Mind you...it was quiet and not too many folks. But...thats why im writing about it!!!!! These places are the POSTA!!!! We were OVER the noise and wanted to go somewhere that we would be seen and or have a good chat. Most places now a days...well...its a show! Service is blah or they just want clicks for social media. This place!!!! Cozy...unique...great hospitality. And....celebrating 20 years!!! If you know ANYTHING about business....THAT IS HUGE! So...GO HERE. GO CHAT with the servers...bartenders. get off the phone and see why...they have been in business for 20 years!!!!!

    Parrillada "El Conventillo" (For 2 | $75.95) Meatlovers heaven
    Joe P.

    We had dinner in Little Italy at this Argentinian steakhouse. We decided to share the parillada (short rib, skirt steak, culotte cut, chicken breast, chorizo, blood sausage and sweetbreads inc fries). The red meats were all nicely seasoned, moist & tender. On the other hand, the chicken breast was dry, and could not be rescued by the excellent chimichurri. Lastly, the fries were a nice side to the meats and were GBD. We activated our dessert stomachs and had the milhojas. The layers of walnut, along with the caramel crust contrasted nicely against the rich & savory meats. Rodolfo and his team took good care of us. We had some special requests, and they handled them with ease. The ambiance was quaint, and not too snug. The only downsides were the lack of ventilation made it warm, and parking was $25 for two hours. PLB has been serving great food for 20 years. Its no wonder they have been in business so long.

    Sorry no photos. Picked BF up from airport and he had to have PLB. We each had the millense. Me chicken and hilm the beef. With two eggs and an empanada. Soooooo good. And the chimmie churri is Amazing. A great place for a night (or lunch) out.

    My colleague and I visited Puerto La Boca, to explore the idea... who does picanha steak better Argentina or Brazil...comparing what we received steak wise at the local Fogo de Chao (on a previous outing ) vs picanha in the Argentina tradition. Hands down the service was very good. Our server was attentive and insightful. The food arrived in a timely manner...just that alone makes this a restaurant to visit. We orders a number of items including 1) Bread and Chimi 2) Mollejas 3) Chorizo All as starters ! Wonderfully flavored, one can't go wrong with anything we selected. The chorizo was very plain in presentation which was strange to me but still good! The Mollejas(sweet breads) were also well flavored and surprisingly not chewy However we came for the Picanha! In this case we ordered "picaña" for two with garlic fries. I'm not an expert on picaña as a cut of meat but what we received was very tender and cooked just right...they know that they are doing here! For dessert we ordered a lot- a lot because we couldn't decide from there many options and they have many desserts we've never tried, YOLO Panequeques con de leche, Alfajores de maicena and membrillo con queso as well as espressos to chase it down. I enjoyed the Panquequws, and Alfajores more than the membrillo mostly because cheese with dessert isn't something I'm accustomed to.

    This place is a gem! We've been wanting to visit puerto la Boca and what better than for Valentine's Day. 1st the food, we ordered the parillada el conventillo with fries and it was bomb. The ribs, the cuts with the chimichurri were amazing, very juicy for being medium well and not dry like in other places. The ambiance and service was great too. We are definitely coming back.

    Service as always was amazing very nice people and the food was good. The empanadas are a must every time i come here.

    Churrasco
    David H.

    ordered the churrasco (med rare), sirloin center cut, and i would say it's pretty good. the steak was seasoned well and the side of garlic fries was pretty yummy. the chimichurri sauce was solid, great with the steak. the onion was good, which they gave more of it with the steak though. service was good, they overcooked my steak at first and made me a new one after i told them. checked up on me and was pretty attentive. overall, pretty nice place and the steak was good, but not the best steak i've ever had. yummy rating: 8/10

    We were so pleasantly surprised by this place - food, wine and service were spot on. There was apprehension at first because the place was really slow at 6pm on a Sunday but we gave it a try anyways. Not too many people venture past Barbusa when in Little Italy but I would absolutely recommend to come one extra block for this place! Every meat selection on the platter was simply amazing - well cooked, seasoned, and went amazing with the chimichuri! Our server, Sebastian gave a 5 star wine recommendation and was so pleasant to chat with. Great scene for date night.

    Awning sign

    Instead of gorging ourselves on Brazilian BBQ, we came to Puerto La Boca during a past San Diego Restaurant Week. There were two very large parties already seated so a waitlist was in effect for an inside table. Availability was immediate if we wanted a table outside along the sidewalk which was what we chose. A three-course meal was priced at $50 for Restaurant Week. My friend and I shared the following... * Beef Empanada * Pulpo la Ribera (marinated octopus) * Picanha * Lomo con Hongos (filet mignon) * Panqueque con Dulce de Leche * Tarta de Chocolate While waiting for our food, a complimentary basket of sliced bread was provided along with chimichurri sauce, olives, and butter. Thank goodness we had this to munch on because the kitchen took an inordinate amount of time to prepare the food. In addition, because we were seated outside, our server was not easy to flag down. The empanada was as expected, a fried turnover with beef filling. The octopus came as diced up pieces sauteed in olive oil, garlic, parsley, potatoes, and paprika. The portion size was small, and I wish they had not cut up the tentacles. The picanha was a sirloin cap cooked medium-rare. It was served as four pieces weighing approximately three ounces each. The meat was topped with a Roquefort cream cheese sauce and three tiger shrimp. A serving of mashed potatoes also came with the dish. The cheese sauce did nothing for me as I liked the components without it. The filet was a ten-ounce portion that was grilled and sauteed in Malbec wine and porcini mushroom sauce. A side of noisette potatoes and broccoli accompanied the beef. We asked for it to be cooked with medium doneness. I thought this plate was well executed. The first dessert was a warmed crepe filled with Argentinian caramel and a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a ramekin. The caramel tasted so good and decadent. The other dessert was a chocolate mousse pie on a cookie crust. It was rather ordinary. When we got our bill, an automatic 18% gratuity was already added even though it was just a party of two. I didn't like that especially when aspects such as the food taking a long time to come out of the kitchen and the server being AWOL for lengthy stretches were below expectations. I don't remember my past visits being such a choppy experience. For this occasion, I rated the prix fixe dinner with three stars.

    Ensalata Mixta la Boca & Empenadas
    Natalie P.

    I didn't try this place for a long time because I had heard mixed reviews, but finally went for lunch when they had their restaurant week menu and it was great! We went for a late lunch so it was pretty empty. The service was quick and the decor inside is cozy and nice. We had the ensalata mixta la boca, chicken and beef empenadas, and the Entraña steak. Everything was excellent! The chimichurri sauce was delicious. And the restaurant week was a great deal. I'll definitely be back!

    Chicken milanesa
    Jacob D.

    Purchased a groupon and I was rather surprised that they were offering one as this place is located in a high touristy area with lots of other restaurants nearby and it was busy when we arrived (but seated immediately). We started off with the basket of bread with compounded butter and other tapenades, which was very good and fresh. I ordered the chicken milanesa and my friend ordered the steak milanesa. Both were decently sized and came with fries. Mine was good but not excellent. It was a bit confusing for me because it had marinara sauce so it was almost like I was having Italian food. We ended our meal with dessert: flan and chocolate mousse cake. The flan was just ok, not custardy the way I like but the cake was excellent! As for service, although the restaurant was busy, our server was lacking a bit (appeared to be the host as well), but very kind and friendly. I won't be in the area again anytime soon, but I would frequent this restaurant again and try other menu items (perhaps happy hour as well).

    Mollejas al Jerez a o la parrilla (Sweetbreads) November 2024
    Joanne P.

    What a great experience on a Tuesday evening! I called almost a month prior to make early birthday reservations for our son & our visit was definitely worth it! My coworker came here a few years ago and recommended the sweet breads. I've been a fan of watching Andrew Zimmern & Anthony Bourdain for the longest. And I was so excited to finally try some sweet breads. I asked if our server could explain to everyone in our party which part the sweetbreads came from cattle- which he explained is not pan dulce (LOL) but, from the neck area. Everyone in our group LOVED this as a starter! Each bite just feels decadent. Rich in flavor, tender, and crispy on the edges. I enjoyed every bite with sips of Malbec along with chimichurri and bits of warm bread. As our evening continued on- patrons were piling in on that Tuesday evening. The short rib plate (asado de tira) and requested medium on the grill. All plates are made to order and the short ribs are flank cut w/ bone in. Steamed veggies are plentiful (carrots, broccoli, fresh green beans, and asparagus). I love how the "Meant to be Shared" platter options. Hubby and I plan on returning to indulge in this option.

    Argentinian steak
    Josue B.

    10/10 - Best Steak I've Ever Had! I had the Argentinian steak (medium rare) at Puerto La Boca, and wow -- it was hands down the best steak I've ever had! Perfectly cooked, incredibly juicy, and so tender it practically melted in my mouth. The garlic fries on the side were the perfect crispy, flavorful complement. You can get the option to get mashed potatoes. If you go, do not skip the Chile Toreados -- trust me! Pour the juice from the chiles over your steak and it takes the flavor to a whole new level. Absolute heaven. I been back 5 times already for this steak and it never missed. It takes amazing every single time. I also had the beef empanada and it tasted phenomenal. The empanada had a golden crunchy shell and the beef had a phenomenal flavor! I recommend to get! Even the bread and butter stood out -- warm, fresh, and addicting. Every bite of this meal was amazing. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves a great steak or is just looking for a fantastic dining experience. 10/10

    The traditional dish. Get the bread, too.

Service is good; the servers are very enthusiastic about recommendations. They seem to tend to make small talk in case that's not your style. They are very attentive with checking in and clearing plates. Food: 1. Artichoke special - Delicious, super rich and a little sour. Comes with 3 big hearts/stems, olives, and parm. 2. Caprese - They use an excellent quality burrata. Rich and milky and paired great with their heirloom tomatoes. 3. Squid ink pasta - Lots of fresh seafood. Light tomato sauce for those who aren't into cream sauce. 4. Pumpkin mushroom lasagna special - Don't be discouraged by the pumpkin, the flavor is very mild. Adds the barest hint of sweetness. Very cheesy, overall a solid lasagna. 5. Ear pasta with sausage - Came highly recommended as one of their most popular items. I loved it! It's like a combo sausage pizza in pasta form, and I say this very positively. I love the crunchy broccoli pieces which add a different texture and some sweetness. The cream sauce is super savory and not terribly heavy. The sausage has a fennel flavor which some might not be for everyone but I was a fan. 6. Osobucco with mushroom tagliatelle - Well executed. the osobucco is just slightly on the milder side. The tagliatelle was also delicious, a nice light cream sauce with lots of umami mushroom flavor. The only negative to me was the bread. A little dry, not served very hot. They make all their pasta fresh in house which is a nice plus. Overall a great meal. Definitely recommend as a nice date night place, and you can watch the gorgeous sunset views or walk around the streets of South Park after.

The service was absolutely outstanding--friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was some of the most authentic Italian cuisine we've ever had, and every dish was delicious. The desserts were just as incredible and were the perfect way to end the meal. If you're looking for amazing Italian food with exceptional service, I can't recommend this place enough. We'll definitely be back before we head home!

    I walked into this little Italian restaurant and found it completely packed. I asked the gentleman…read moreat the front how long the wait would be for a table for one. Without hesitation, he poured me a glass of Prosecco, invited me to wait outside, and assured me he'd have a seat for me in just a few minutes. Sure enough, about two minutes later, he came out and seated me. This restaurant made you feel like you were in Italy with the ambiance and vibe. I had done my research beforehand, so I already knew what I wanted. I ordered the lasagna, and it was absolutely incredible. The portion was generous, and my server let me know it would take a little extra time to prepare, which was perfectly fine. It didn't take long for me to realize that the man who seated me was also the owner. As I watched him greet guests throughout the evening, it was obvious that he genuinely loves what he does. We had a great conversation, and he was warm, welcoming, and personable. After finishing my meal, I ordered a double espresso and tiramisu for dessert. The tiramisu was easily one of the best I've ever had. Exceptional food, outstanding hospitality, and a memorable experience from start to finish. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.
