About Taqueria El Porton

Taqueria El Porton is a family-owned Mexican restaurant that offers a variety of dishes. The salsa and service are praised as good, with the guacamole being described as "top-notch." The breakfast burrito and eggs with chorizo and cheese are highlighted as exceptional. The restaurant is known for its good portions, warm food, and friendly service that even includes portioning meals in the kitchen and serving them separately. The chips and queso are very popular, and the beans are considered amazing, even by those who usually don't like beans. The steak burrito is highly recommended as perfect. The restaurant also offers vegetarian options like burritos, quesadillas, and tacos. The rice and beans are standout, with some reviewers saying they could be their last meal. The chorizo is described as amazing, and the enchiladas are very good with generous servings that make it possible to take some home. The atmosphere is cozy and small, similar to a street taqueria, creating a friendly and inviting environment. The parking lot is large enough to fit 10 to 30 cars. While the chimichanga is described as "very average" and the cheese inside as the "worst" the reviewer has had, the chicken is not recommended. Everything is homemade, adding to the authenticity. Customers note that there is a 3% credit card fee that is not clearly mentioned, so diners should be aware. Despite some slow service, the staff is very nice, and the overall experience is highly recommended, especially for those seeking delicious food and drinks.
