Reviews
"I am a weekly customer at El Porteño as is every Tawa local. The staff are always friendly and the scones are consistently good. Given it's popularity I think they have outgrown the space. It can be a little crammed in there on weekend mornings. Regardless I always enjoy my time there. Thanks"
"May 2023: Everything was as great as usual, with a little difference. The coffee was piping hot, my partner burned his mouth badly. Don't want to step in the guessing area but the barista didn't seem to care a lot when was told. P.S. When it cooled down a little bit it turned out to be too sour. Piping hot, underextracted coffee is not the coffee we expected from El Porteño. UPD July 2023: We finally got a chance to visit El Porteño again. Last time the burns lasted for almost a week so my partner was very cautious trying his coffee today. The coffee temp and taste were Ok, hence I am changing my rating from one star to three to reflect the owner's efforts to address the problem. I hope in a year I can confidently submit a 5-star review which this place deserves. On reflection, it also might be that our well-insulated take-away cup with sipping cup was part of the problem. If you take it away check the temperature before sipping."
"We had a quick lunch at Cafe El Porteno on Easter Saturday. When we got there, the place was packed. We ordered the cheese scones and the ham empanada. It was our first time trying the empanada, and although we enjoyed it, I can't remember seeing any ham. Maybe I was just too hungry. The staff were pleasant as always. Overall experience was very good. We enjoy eating here when we're in Tawa. We're definitely coming back."
"I only ordered scones, a smoothie and coffee but I'm definately coming back for a proper meal. Everything I ordered was great, but the staff there were absolutely amazing. Decor is bright and happy... Can't wait to try a S'cone Burger"
"100% the best cheese scones around! Always very friendly staff, great hot chocolate. Enjoy coming here when are in Tawa."
