Food is generally pretty good, and service is very fast! I can usually pick up an order within 10 minutes for carry out.

I hadn't been to El Portal for years, but it was just the same as I remembered. Great food, great service. I wish it was a little more cozy and less bright, but overall, it was a great place to eat.

Way too hot inside. I don't enjoy sweating while I eat. Never got my Pepsi refilled and we were there for an hour. The Pablanos dinner was good, but next time I'll get take out.

I ordered a few tacos to be delivered. The tacos I ordered were pictured as authentic Mexican tacos with double corn tortillas. I was brought tacos that were in regular store bought corn taco shells. They were atrocious and inedible. Pictured on the left is what was advertised. Pictured on the right is what I received. The shells were so soggy at the bottom, they all fell apart. Very misleading. If you want good mexican food, go to La Caretta.
