Puerto La Boca

Taste Argentinian-style steaks grilled to perfection at Puerto La Boca, a San Diego favorite located in the festive neighborhood of Little Italy. The warm, refined eatery also serves empanadas, chorizo, salads, chicken, seafood, pastas, Malbecs and a signature sangria.

Savory starters include bread and chimichurri sauce (Argentina’s national condiment); chorizo Argentino – delicious grilled beef and pork sausage; empanadas – traditional Argentinian turnovers filled with beef, chicken, ham and cheese, spinach and cheese, or corn and cheese; or classic Provoleta, consisting of grilled provolone cheese⁠, a slice of tomato⁠, olive oil ⁠and oregano, and more.

Then prepare for the restaurant’s sizzling stars: exceptional cuts of meat and hand-prepared for an exquisite dining experience. These perfections on platters include Entraña – the restaurant’s signature skirt steak, a long flat cut famous for its rich flavor and juiciness; Churrasco – the legendary sirloin center cut; Picaña – Northern Argentina’s favorite whole culotte cut steak⁠; Parrillada – a combination of short rib, skirt steak, culotte cut, chicken breast, chorizo sausage, blood sausage and sweetbreads; and old favorite, the Lomo – the leanest and most tender steak filet mignon served with noisette potatoes.

Pasta lovers enjoy a broad range of offerings, including classics like ravioli, spaghetti and cannelloni, and the rich and delicious Fettuccine Cuatro Quesos — pasta in a Roquefort, smoked mozzarella, Parmesan and Reggiano cream sauce⁠. Complement any of the pastas with a side of chicken breast, skirt steak, shrimp or grilled salmon for the perfect meal. Delectable seafood entrees include Salmon con Camarones a la Provenzal — grilled salmon and shrimp sautéed in butter, olive oil, garlic, parsley and white wine, served with mashed potatoes and vegetables; and the sweet and savory mahi mahi paired with a fresh mango sauce.
