" The ambience is lovely with a warm, welcoming feeling. However, my dish didn't live up to the hype; I chose chicken enchiladas but found them to be underseasoned and lacking in flavor. The service was friendly, and they were very accommodating. I might return to try a different dish since I heard good things about their tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Portal is a lovely little restaurant with a homey feel. The food reflects a lot of the traditional flavors of Mexico. I have enjoyed everything I tried so far, especially the ceviche tostadas. The only downside was that my order took a bit longer than expected, but it was worth the wait. I look forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was recommended to me by friends, and it definitely lives up to the hype. I tried the shrimp tacos that were loaded with flavor, and you must pair it with their homemade salsa. The staff is very friendly and seems genuinely happy to assist you. It's a charming little spot where I felt comfortable. I will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes coming here with all the positive reviews. What I felt was quite the opposite. I ordered the carne asada burrito and it was just mediocre. Perhaps my expectations were set too high? I enjoyed the atmosphere and the decor, but I needed the food to match. I might try some other dishes next time to see if they fare better. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at El Portal is fantastic and welcoming! I was greeted right away and the staff were quick to help. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and they were so good! You can taste the authenticity in the meal. I also loved that they have various options for drinks, including horchata, which was perfect to wash it all down. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here on a whim while passing through town and wow, what a gem! The ceviche tostada was fresh and zesty, bursting with flavor. The ambiance was vibrant and gave me a great sense of the culture that inspired the food. I also got to enjoy some delightful conversation with the owner, which made my visit even more memorable. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who appreciates authentic tastes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot rave enough about the shrimp tacos! They are truly the highlight of my visits. The true test for me is always freshness and flavor, and these tacos deliver on both fronts. You can definitely tell they put a lot of care into their food. The service is always friendly and quick. Five stars for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
