“I just ate here for the first time today and I have to say it was wonderful! The staff is so kind, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere was simple beauty. I had the beef enchiladas and they were fantastic! My wife had the mango margarita which was wonderful. We really are fortunate to have this gem right here in Portland, Texas. If you haven't tried it, you really need to!“

“food was great and so were the margaritas“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pep’s Mexican Steakhouse went above and beyond for my daughter’s 19th birthday! They were able to accommodate a last-minute reservation for around 35 people, and when we arrived the area was already cleared and prepared for us with staff on standby ready to assist. The food was absolutely amazing, and the customer service was top-notch—patient, courteous, and so attentive. I am beyond grateful for the wonderful service and experience we had celebrating such a special day. Thank you all for doing such an amazing job! Highly recommend!“

“The girl serving us had an attitude and the other worker who was checking the temperature of the foods on display was taking the temperature and not wiping the thermometer after each dip. I'm taking culinary arts and this is one of the first things we learned to do in my safety and sanitation class. I didn't get sick afterwards tho so I'm not complaining, just making whoever is in charge of this aware of what happened. We chose this location bc the one in Corpus Christi is always packed. I wanted the asada but there was barely any and it looked very dry. We would go back to this location again tho, just because of how fast service was. I forgot to take pictures of the food but it was realllyyy good. The barbacoa.
Oh yea the red chimichurri sauce was amazing !!“

“I work late and usually don't get to make it there until around midnight. I really want to thank the team there because I have had perfect orders and such kind team members when I know those late nights can be difficult. To all of you working there, I want to say thank you! You are a wonderful team and we are very fortunate to have good people like you working there! Great job Portland Taco Bell!“

“This place is great! The food was delicious. Our server Clara was super friendly and her service was exceptional and the atmosphere was very pleasant: you need to try the pepino con limon agua Fresca! It’s delicious!!!😋 the fish tacos and the pastor plate were delicious as well. I’m very satisfied with this place. Definitely coming back next time we visit!“

“Best Pollo Asado I’ve had!!! We need another location El Gavilan!!! The food is so good that I think its time to expand. #1 Pollo Asado, don't take it from me, try it for yourself and you will agree 💯“

“The food is always great and fresh.“

“Absolutely fantastic authentic Mexican food! I was looking for a taco food truck in the area and stumbled across this one, and boy it didn’t disappoint! On top of that, we had top notch customer service and I couldn’t appreciate it more. Very friendly and flavorful place with big portions, a must try. I will definitely be back when I’m in Corpus Christi.“

“This for me is the absolute best Tex-Mex restaurant I have ever had. The beans are incredible and they have homemade tortillas. I've eaten Mexican, Tex-Mex all over Texas, California, New Mexico & other states. Even in cities. Besides my grandmother's cooking, this is the BEST. When I say I want Mexican food, this is exactly what I mean. I have to DoorDash every day cause I work out of town. And this is the best I've had. Can't give enough praise! It's delicious!!!!“

“Stopped by after my trip to Lowes grocery store. Ordered 3 Carne guisada tacos. I have to say the flour tortillas are awesome. The tacos tasted excellent. The beef was tender and flavorful. Plus it's super affordable. It was like 9 dollars for everything. If you're inTaft stop here for a quick bite to eat. You're going to love it. Plus its very clean, and cool. Temperature wise. And the staff is super friendly. A+ Service.“

“I like to buy my taco’s there in the morning but the only thing I don’t like is that they give you preheated flour tortillas it happens three time and I stop going there than I went his morning and try them again and they still gave me preheated tortillas from yesterday while the lady making fresh tortillas I hope they can change that everything else is very good food but I’ll drop again sometime next week and try them again !“

“My family and I have went many times. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All of the food has always been delicious despite me being a brat for only wanting good food. The staff is great and the women are caring especially with the littles. Food never takes too long and always meets or exceeds expectations. Always clean and the restrooms are never nasty. Highly recommend!“

“I love they foods. I grow up when I was a kid when my grandpa go every weekend. Now, it my turn going every weekend. Thank you 🙏🏻“

“Me gusta como me atienden y la comida esta rica“

“Went for a Sunday brunch yesterday. It was delicious as usual. If you appreciate true authenticity in ambiance, El Alteno Taqueria is exactly like walking into most any average cafe deep in Mexico. I had the breakfast porkchop plate (huevos rancheros con chuleta de puerco). My companion had the migas plate. They were both delicious. Our server was very welcoming and quickly brought everything as requested. The only thing that has become disappointing is that almost anything and everything that is requested now like additional condiments, more tortillas, etc. are pricey and are added to the bill. Prices on the menu are extraordinarily reasonable, but any additional requests being added to the bill inflates the total. The bill is always unclear with no prices or total making it impossible to leave the correct tip amount until getting the total and paying at the register. Getting a full understanding of the accounting for the bill at the register is challengingly difficult at best. Since the total price is still relatively reasonable, I always just go ahead and pay. Where before the pandemic two people could get what we got for under $15 is now well over $25. But...It's the same most anywhere so what can you do?“
