" I cannot stress enough how much I loved dining at El Portal. Every time we visit, it feels like comfort food! The chips and salsa are top-notch; you can taste the freshness in each bite. I ordered the enchiladas, and they were out of this world, beautifully layered with sauces. The perfect dish to share! Each visit has been better than the last, and the owners remember us, making our experience feel super special. What can I say; this is our family’s favorite Mexican restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my visit to El Portal! The service was prompt, and my waitress was delightful—always checking in without being overbearing. I had the cheese quesadilla with beans, and it was comforting and delicious. The music playing in the background added to the great ambiance. While I felt my portion was slightly smaller than expected, I left very satisfied and definitely looking forward to trying more dishes on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried El Portal last weekend, and it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated; you can see the effort put into making it a welcoming place. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas, and they were filled with perfectly cooked shrimp and fresh herbs. However, I felt that the dish could have used a bit more of the sauce they served it with. Service was decent, and I especially loved how attentive the staff was to our needs. I will definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in town! It’s a small place, but they make the most of it. I ordered the carne asada, and it was beautifully done! The flavors were on point, and I really felt the authenticity in every bite. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed. It's the perfect place for date night or a casual outing with friends. Will surely be returning again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Portal is a lovely little hidden gem that delivers delicious meals! Their tacos al pastor are some of the best I’ve had in a long while. The restaurant has a nice vibe, clean surroundings, and a friendly staff. They are attentive and made sure our needs were met throughout our meal. I particularly loved how the chips were fresh and the salsa was spicy but not overwhelming. I can't wait to return with a larger group next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to check out El Portal for a casual dinner. The ambiance was nice, though it could be a bit noisy at times. I ordered the fajitas, which were decent but not the most jaw-dropping dish I have ever had. My companion had the mole, which she noted was deliciously rich. The service was friendly, but at certain points, we felt a little ignored. Despite the minor inconveniences, I would return for another shot at exploring their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried El Portal for the first time recently and we’re really happy we did! The food was flavorful and authentic; I loved the shrimp fajitas. Though the restaurant uses a house as its base, they’ve made great use of the space so it didn’t feel cramped at all. The service was friendly, though a bit slow since they were busy during our visit. Overall, a great experience, and we look forward to returning to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
