Porky's Restaurant Mexican Food

I’m get dissatisfied with my server unwilling to accommodate my simple request of wanting to order nopales. It is something they sell on the menu and I’m always able to order as a side. I even offered to pay for full dish so I can just have nopales… what a bummer !

Had a burrito 🌯 to go it took 20 minutes. Mind you no one was in there, it was like 1 hour before closing. I took it home opened it up and was so disappointed 😞. It Looked horrible, I ate it just because I was hungry. It was so bland no flavor I should of gone to taco bell. I haven't gone back ever since 😕.

This place has been a staple of the community my entire life. It was a bustling business when I was a kid. I'm happy to see it's still open but it's not thriving like before.

The parking lot was dark. I'm not 100% sure if we're allowed to park in the back. The sign said to park across the street at Wengers.

I loved to see the two women near the door, preparing food. They should showcase themselves making tortillas.

The restaurant is a little tattered and outdated. There was not much thought put into the decor. A bunch of random, cheap framed posters line the walls. The hallway that might have lead to the restroom was unlit.

I ordered Camarones Mojo de ajo. My food was delicious! My shrimp were butterflied and grilled. The salad was fresh and crispy. My husband got the Carnitas plate. The meat was tender and juicy. I would go order carnitas by the pound if they offered it that way. Yum!!!

I didn't like how my Michelada was served. They brought me a huge mug halfway full. I don't think there was one full beer in it. I had to order another beer to add to the tomato juice they served me. It didn't taste good after that.
We paid with a credit card. I would have tipped them, but they didn't bring me a pen to add a tip, or to sign the receipt.

This place needs a little more love. I hope the owners can manage to upgrade soon so they can attract more customers and keep these doors open another 6 decades. They should wear uniforms, light up the windows and the parking lot, and choose a theme for the decor. ✌🏼❤️

We ordered a molcajete and everything was very good except the meat, didn’t taste like beef. The owner was kind of rude with us since the beginning but we understood since we arrived 45 minutes before closing (we figured he had a long day). When we asked for the check he threw it at us and he shorted us $6 dollars. When we asked for our complete change he again threw the money at us. When my husband asked what kind of meat he gave us he said “es de burro señor” which translates to “it’s donkey meat” Needless to say it’s our first and last visit there.

It’s a bit pricy, but totally worth it. Everything was really good, and the server was really nice and attentive. We will definitely be returning customers.

I had the pozole and my husband had the tacos dorados and both food were great. I don't think it's pricey being the amount of food given and that its a hardy home made type of food. Great taste will be eating here when I am over on this side of LA county.

Parking: Parking is on the back side of the restaurant and you must walk around to go in through the front of the restaurant you can go thru it.
