" I’m not typically one to write reviews, but my experience at Porton compelled me to share. The food was simply wonderful, packed with flavor and authenticity—especially the enchiladas! The service was impeccable; our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The place has a lively yet relaxed atmosphere perfect for casual dining. Plus, the portions are quite filling, and it’s great value for money. I can’t wait to return! If you appreciate real Mexican food, this is the place for you! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Porton for the first time after hearing recommendations from friends and I was left satisfied! We tried several dishes, but the birria tacos followed by tres leches cake was the highlight of my meal. The portion sizes were enough to split between friends, so we left feeling happy. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, creating a great vibe overall. The staff was also very attentive, making the experience enjoyable and comfortable. Definitely will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The other day, I took my family to Porton and was so thrilled with our experience! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with lovely decorations giving it an authentic feel. The highlight of our meal was definitely their carne asada; I have never had a better carne asada in my life! The portion sizes were more than generous; I couldn’t finish my plate. The servers were prompt, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. This is definitely my new favorite spot in town; I can’t recommend it enough! Will be returning very soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Porton is always a delight—each dish bursting with flavors typical of traditional Mexican cuisine. The service is just as delightful as the food. Last week I visited with a group of friends, and we received outstanding service that matched the amazing dishes we ordered. I particularly liked their tacos, both carne asada and birria. The tortillas were fresh and added a perfect touch. It's my go-to place for gatherings, and I love how I can always rely on them for a satisfying meal. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Porton gave me mixed feelings. The service was friendly, and the place was lively, but the food didn't meet my expectations this time. I ordered the chicken enchiladas but found them a bit too bland for my liking. The salsa, however, was quite good. I could tell that the restaurant had many loyal customers, and I will give it another chance in the future. Sometimes, any establishment can have an off day. I'll return and hope next time brings a better food experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried various Mexican restaurants in the area, and I can say without hesitation that Porton is by far the best! The atmosphere is vibrant, and the music adds to the experience while the food is genuinely delicious. I had the birria tacos, which were hearty and flavorful. I really appreciated the generous portion sizes! On top of that, our server was attentive without being overbearing, making the overall dining experience enjoyable. It's always a treat to visit Porton. " (*Curated Review*)

" Porton does not disappoint! My family and I went there for my birthday, and everything was fantastic. We tried several dishes, from the enchiladas to the fajitas, and each one was delicious. The ambiance was perfect for a celebration, and the servers were attentive and cheerful. The portion sizes were also generous; I had to take half my meal home, which is always a bonus. We definitely plan to return soon. Whether it's for a special occasion or just a casual outing, Porton is a must! " (*Curated Review*)
