I saw this place on Instagram and love Argentina food. So I thought this would be a great spot to have my Birthday dinner!
The first hint I should have taken to heart, was when we walked into the restaurant at 6 PM and we were the only customers in the entire restaurant!
One server, one cook and us. Menu looked okay so we ordered. We ordered our 6 meat dinner, medium rare.
All the meats, except the rib were cooked well done.
Meat was dry since it was so overcooked, luckily they had two different sauces for the meat.
This being said, the cooked plantains, salad and yellow rice (sides) were good.
With tip we paid about $75 per person, for overcooked food.
Service was “Meh” and non-helpful.
There are so many great restaurants in Ybor City and South Tampa, this is NOT one of them.
Go to Ulele, it’s close, yummy and special. By the time you read this review of “El Puerto” they will probably be closed. We were one of 3 active tables for 2 and 1/2 hours on a weekend day.
Don’t waste your time, these people are in the care-less stage.

I received a referral for El Puerto Restaurant from a beautiful Shop Owner Marcolina, from Marcolina’s Fine Arts Gallery in Ybor(Check it out! Great art by local Painters, jewelry, etc).
1st you have to travel to Ybor! It is an eclectic vibrant area with so many small businesses and shops, good food and so many places to so if you’re in Tampa a stop in Ybor a must!
The food was great, very flavorable but I fell in love with the Homemade Bread, made to order, the Argentenian Sausage, Chimichurri sauce and the Sangria. It is a small quaint place and a few blocks off of the main Ybor “Strip” but well worth the dip off of Main street. There is a small step in front, which will be a challenge for those who are wheelchair bound.
My Meal and Drinks *3, were $70. Does not have parking on site; however there is a parking lot across the street and limited street parking in the area. They close @ 10p. Enjoy!

The steak with rice, sweet plantains, fries, salad, and fried egg was fantastic. Tender, juicy, and well seasoned, with an excellent chimichurri that added great flavor. The plate was generous, hearty, and with the sweet plantains adding a touch of sweetness. The price was okay, not expensive but also not cheap and the service was ok with the waitress not checking on me even though it was not busy at all. Also,restaurant had no atmosphere, very quiet with no vibes, even on a Saturday afternoon.

Went there for dinner before went back to Orlando. We loved our food but it was very tasty and delicious. The price are a little bit high a cup of coffee $8 or $9 the server just write the price on a paper and you barely understand her writing.
One thing we didn’t like was the server, she was so unprofessional for a server, we still tip even my teenager didn’t want us to do it just for the way she was.
We definitely aren’t going back to this place when we visit Tampa just for the service.

Had a delicious Tuesday lunch here. No wait, fast service. The churrasco was delicious and cooked perfectly, came with a little dish of chimichurri which was excellent. I got the side salad and maduros which were both very good!

The food is delicious and plentiful; there is no loud music, so you can easily speak with your dinner companions. This is the perfect place to enjoy time with your friends; don’t be in a rush.

First time going here. It’s off the Main Street and has its own parking area no charge. Clean , quiet. Staff very attentive and friendly. Food was excellent. The meat was cooked perfectly and my husband said his ceviche was fabulous. I had sweet plantains and yellow rice as sides. Delicious. We will definitely return.

My dish had a little too much sauce, which kind of drowned the vegetables, but it was still tasty. The ceviche was super! Fresh and zesty with plenty of fish and shrimp. The only downer was the service. The waitress didn’t speak english very well, so at times, communication was difficult.
