" My visit last week was a mixed bag. My carne asada was delicious but the sides felt inadequate for the price. The margarita was well-mixed, but I could tell they used store-bought mixes which was disappointing. Overall, I'd say the place is decent but could improve on food authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Portal because of all the good reviews, but I left feeling underwhelmed. The food was good but not great, and I got a tummy ache afterward. The milkshake I ordered was too sweet but the service staff were very friendly and tried their best. I might give it one more shot in the future. Hopefully, they'll serve up something more impressive next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to El Portal for years, and I always look forward to their delicious chicken enchiladas. The flavors are vibrant, and the service is usually friendly. Recently, I tried their new dessert tacos, and they were delightful! The ambiance always makes me feel at home, and it's a great place to unwind after a long week. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was impressed with my visit to El Portal. The service was quick and very friendly, while the ambiance felt authentic. The best part was definitely the street tacos—they're to die for! I would definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The food was bland and not worth the high price. I won't return, as I've had much better Mexican food elsewhere. The service didn't help, as our waitress forgot our drinks and we had to wait longer than expected. Can't recommend this place. " (*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*)
