El Portal

Stopped here for dinner on my way thru town. I had the Chile Verde. Pork was nice and tender. Staff was nice and friendly. The only complaint I have is that my Michalada came served to me in a Styrofoam cup. My brothers Michalada was served to him in an ice cold mug. Its just not the same. I wish I was given the choice to change my drink order seeing that they were out of cold mugs. The cheese sauce was a big hit at the table.

Hands down the WORST Mexican place in town. Notice all the great reviews are for the alcoholic drinks. I guess if you've had 8 margarita's you might think this food is good. Ordered super nachos, got a plate full of chips, some meat and 4 lbs. of lettuce. Not sure if they understand the concept of nachos. It went downhill from there. Tried the three enchilada thing, got three burnt tortilla shells with some kind of meat covered in 2 lbs. of lettuce. A decent sauce and maybe more than a spoonful of cheese might have helped but that is probably asking too much. Wife tried the special fajita, lots of green peppers and some overcooked beef, chicken and shrimp. Very dry, very sad BUT 2 more lbs. of lettuce. Maybe if we had 8 margarita's we might not have noticed, but if you are dining sober, might want to try someplace else.

W had terrible service.... To start, they didn't take out order we had to ask someone and the owner came got it order. My husband got his food, it was the wrong thing, he had to go ask about mine. He came back to ask what I ordered. We had trouble getting drinks.... It was just a mess from the get go and when we said something he said he was short handed. At the end he made it right. We had never had trouble before so we will be back.
