" El Portal has always been a solid choice for Mexican food. The burritos are huge and packed with flavor, and the staff are generally accommodating. It's a great place to grab a bite with friends, though I'd advise making a reservation as it can get busy on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food, I wouldn't say it was anything special. Everything was good but not memorable. The decor was nice, but it didn’t really enhance the experience. I might consider coming back, but it wouldn’t be my first choice for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a delightful time at El Portal! The food was amazing, and definitely worth the price. Their guacamole was so fresh, it just melted in your mouth. The waitstaff was attentive, always checking if we needed anything. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an amazing dinner here! The shrimp tacos were fresh and delicious, I practically licked the plate clean! The decor has a lovely Mexican vibe too, making it a very pleasant dining experience. Service staff were friendly and prompt, which is a big plus! I’ll definitely return for more of those tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner with some colleagues to celebrate a project completion. While the atmosphere is great for gatherings, I was disappointed with the food. The flavors were bland, and I felt the portions did not justify the prices. The service was prompt though, but I was expecting a better experience overall. I don't think I'll recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was okay, but I honestly expected better. The atmosphere was cozy but the food lacked the vibrancy and freshness I hoped for. I might consider coming back to try new menu items in the future, but my first impression didn’t blow me away. " (*Curated Review*)

" Five stars for sure! Everything tastes freshly made and so flavorful. The staff greeted us warmly, which made the dining experience special. The prices were reasonable given the quality of the food. I ordered the steak fajitas, and they were perfect. Looking forward to trying more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
