Portobanco's Restaurant

Great spot for nicaraguan food in DTLA. The portions are generous for what you pay and the service is quick. The gallo pinto here is great and the steamed cassava (yuca) is perfectly done.

Best Nicaraguense food, I have ever had. Just celebrated my birthday their and everything was perfect. Bacon was not dry, Gallo pinto was great, the quesillo there is my favorite, loved the pitahaya.

I enjoyed my experience at this Nicaraguan restaurant the waiters were very caring and c courteous The food was very good. I only took pictures of the appetizers and forgot to take a photo from the main food... pricey but I was not disappointed. I enjoyed it...♡

I live in OC and I've been going to the same nicaraguan restaurant for couple years however I stumbled upon this restaurant and we decided to come here for my dad's bday. I was amazed! The location is very nice , clean and friendly. The staff were very kind and even a worker on lunch acknowledged us and welcomed us even if he didn't have to. We had a drink my favorite "Cacao" it was sooo good I had to take one to go!! We had the "Fritanga". It was a great mixture not to overwhelming to look at. I will definitely be coming back and do not mind the 50 min drive.

When you try their food, you’ll feel at home! I absolutely loved the taste of this restaurant. It’s amazingly authentic and upscaled. It made me really happy to visit them. The place is decorated with various Nicaraguan symbols and has a family atmosphere. The food was delicious and has a good value. Big portions, small price. The menu has a whole lot of options and the patio area is just fantastic. It was full. So freaking full on a Sunday’s afternoon. The food took more than 35 minutes since the moment we ordered. Service is really slow and they barely check on you if you need something. Besides the fact that they’re so understaff. This place is great.
