“Great food and Cold Beer“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“food was great and so were the margaritas“

“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!“

“Took us a while to try this place, but they’re easily the best Mexican food downtown. They have really big servings too, so consider sharing if you don’t want leftovers. They’re also priced pretty fairly for a place in the area. It’s nice that this restaurant is here, I’ll be back.“

“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.“

“We were looking for some good street tacos and we found them! It did take about 30ish min if to get our food but it was packed when we got there, always a good sign, you lookin for fast food, there’s a McDonald’s down the street. Food is worth the wait! Make sure you grab a Mexican Coke with your meal or you’re missing out!! The guys working the truck were friendly and they had pagers for orders so no waiting outside for your name to be called. A plus during the hot summer months. We tried the Mini Tacos(asada) Birria quesadillas and the Mexican hot dogs. Definitely coming back!“

“Brisket was flavorful and very tender“

“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!!!!“

“Our meal was delicious and warm/hot.“
