We tried this little place because of the reviews. It was a house converted to restaurant. The food was delicious and the rest rooms were super clean. We will definitely be coming back and bringing family next time! They make their sopapilla’s fresh to order and they were delicious!

This food was so good and authentic. It’s hard to find a Mexican restaurant that serves mole because it’s a hard dish to execute. The atmosphere was great as well as the service. I’d recommend this spot for sure.

Finally got around to trying El Portal Mexican Grill. This little gem is unfortunately a bit off the beaten path, hidden on a residential street on the south edge of Oak Ridge, and overlooked by many including us until we made it a point to check it out when jonesing for some sizzling beef fajitas. It’s everything a great Tex-Mex restaurant should be… very attractive, very clean, great service, excellent prices, and a mixed menu of wonderful typical Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican dishes. Very glad we found it.

Wonderful chips and salsa. Fabulous shrimp and tilapia fajitas. We will be back. Clean and nicely decorated.
Not a bad hole in the wall type place. Service could definitely be better as far as the attentiveness of wait staff, but food is good ? Portions could be a little bigger but I was still satisfied when I was done. Nice alternative to some of the larger chain Mexican restaurants in the area.

We have the seafood enchiladas, guisada, and empanada as a starter with two agua frescas and Yumm. Each dish you could tell the ingredients was super fresh. My favorite was the empanada and enchiladas. Next time, I'll try the mole enchiladas and chile relleno.

Delicious Mexican with some authentic options, while still offering the goopy yellow queso this gringo loves. They are tucked away and in a house, so you know this food has to be good. Big portions, yummy queso fundido, great prices and a full bar. It was all that and a bag of tortilla chips. We will return for more.
