First time visiting. Nice Mexican themed atmosphere. They have a very large menu. The food and service was really good. What happened to hear the customers next to us say it was Taco Tuesday so I tried it out. The tacos were really good. They should advertise that better.
September 2025
El portal has amazing vegetarian options, with an entire dedicated section on the menu.
I can confirm other comments that said their food is served quickly, in big portions and reasonably priced. Would definitely return!
September 2025
I don't normally do reviews - but this place was not normal in a good way! It was Taco Tuesday, which is basically all you can eat tocos for 9 bucks. I mean Wow! Talk about hard working servers. If two of them met around a blind corner, someone is going to the hospital!
