The atmosphere at Porfavor was great, and the wait staff were extreme helpful and attentive; however, some of the dishes left something to be desired. The yuca chips made for a pretty basic starter, but the salsa was quite tasteful. The chorizo was very authentic, albeit a bit fatty, and the meatballs were a bit dry, as were the mashed potatoes underneath. The beef and fries were a bit dry and under marinated and the mini-burger left something to be desired. The dagens fisk was well-cooked and spiced, and the spinach below was tasteful. The stand out dishes were the dagens empanada, which was fried to perfection, and the beef tartare, which had excellent texture and taste. The deserts were also excellent, both the cheesecake and the crÚme brûlée had great flavor and texture and the brûlée was perfectly flamed. Overall, the meal was middling, hence the three star review, but it was worth the visit. If we had accepted the guidance of the waiter, and had him select a tasting menu for us, perhaps our experience would have been better overall. Given the location, Porfavor presents as a decent choice for a night...

The place wasn't full either so there was plenty of time to focus on service. It actually destroyed a bit of our experience and the two guests I brought along, loved the food but reacted very negative to the service. So, better focus would have given this a...
   Read moreTried Por Favor recently and honestly, it was fantastic. Itâs got that perfect mix of casual and romanticâcozy enough for a date but laid-back enough to go with friends or a group.
We ordered the ciervo (venison), patatas bravas, and gambas al ajillo, and everything was delicious. The venison was super tender and flavorful, the patatas had just the right amount of heat, and the garlic shrimp was perfectly cooked.
The vibe is warm and relaxed, with a great wine list to match the food. Whether you're looking for a chill dinner spot, planning a night out with friends, or just want to share some killer tapas over wine, Por Favor is definitely worth...
