El Portal Restaurant is a popular spot with a wide variety of Mexican food selections. The service is generally good, and the prices are reasonable, although recent experiences suggest that the costs can be high, especially for buffet options. The restaurant offers both buffet and menu choices, with the buffet featuring a great selection of food, including menudo, pozole, and freshly made corn tortillas. The flavors are genuinely homemade to the taste. The burrito is top-notch, and childhood favorites like chicken fajitas are delicious, though sometimes a bit salty, with horchata helping to balance out the flavors. The birria tacos are juicy and tender, served with flavorful consume, and a Tex Mex favorite—potato fried tacos—is available on the menu and highly recommended. While the restaurant used to offer very good food and service at a reasonable price, some recent visits have been disappointing, with issues such as finding hair in the food. Despite this, many still find the food authentic and enjoyable, and some customers are willing to give it another chance.
