This restaurant rocks! The food is amazing and the staff are always very nice and welcoming. This place has a cool layout, it has a rad bar, dining room area, and darts! I usually get the western bacon cheeseburger which hits every time👌🏼

Hosted Q&A seminar for Buyers and Sellers/investors the service was great. My peach margarita was the best I've had and everyone had a good time! Thanks for making space for my clients!

The Western BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with Onion Ring was Awesome! It was a big, thick burger and the BBQ Sauce tasted Delicious 😋 👌. Great service To-Go!

Got the fish & chips. Wish I didn't. Soup was okay, as far as fish and chips I think the fryer oil is bad, the wrong temperature? I don't know burnt. BAD!

Food tastes great, just as it always has. But after being a return customer for well over 20 years it has quite noticably changed in certain ways. Don't get me wrong, change is expected and often necessary.. but when prices rise and the amount of food you receive noticably lessens, it slowly becomes a hometown favorite that you choose to not visit nearly as often.. I can justify splurging on occasion, simply because the food is delicious each time without fail, and the owner Lena Bates is always a pleasure to interact with. Not to mention she has always had a great knack when it comes to making the atmosphere within her restaurant relaxing and enjoyable for adults and kids alike..
Lena has been in the business as long as I have known her, as back when she was a waitress I worked as her busser for about 2 years.. she has very obviously taken her dedication and enjoyable personality to the next level as a business owner.. because each person I've seen employed at Lena's Cantina has been a hardworking person who is a pleasure to be around.. which makes the time you spend there that much more enjoyable. And the money spent that much more worth it..
This is one of the very few local business/restaurant owners that I would stand behind and recommend time and time again..
Lena's Cantina is one place in Portola that is always worth a visit..
FYI.. my personal favorites are the Shrimp Burrito and the chicken Fajitas.. My husband would recommend a nice steak with salad, and our daughters always get chicken strips and fries..
Lena's Is A Place Everyone In The Family Will enjoy ?

First I sat down like sign says , know one came out and another patron got up and got me a menu.Waitress came out ( with an attitude) said she didn't here me come in ( not if your busy in conversation in the back.Felt like she was doing a favor by serving me.On top of that burger was cooked to death and condiments were dry and tasteless.I guess I'm back to McDonald's, sad ?
I was pleasantly suprised when got our food. We tried the French dip, mac and cheese with bbq pulled pork, sourdough melt and a cheese burger. Everything was excellent.
