" I absolutely adore the chilaquiles with red sauce! It's a must-try if you enjoy authentic flavors. The only downside was the wait time, which felt a bit lengthy. The staff was friendly, though, and the restaurant itself has a pleasant vibe. I’ll be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Portal Taqueria is where I go whenever I crave authentic Mexican cuisine. Their tacos are amazing, especially the fish tacos, which are fresh and zesty! The service can be a bit slow during peak hours, but it’s worth the wait. Portion sizes are generous and offer great value for the price. The place has a friendly vibe that really makes you feel at home. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Portal is a wonderful little taqueria in Lincoln! Their shrimp tacos are some of the freshest and most flavorful I’ve had. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, which enhances the dining experience. Only reason I didn't rate it a full 5 is due to slightly slow service, but the food more than makes up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting El Portal, and it exceeded my expectations! The tacos were fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was bright and airy. I was impressed by their service, even when it got busy. I can’t wait to return and try other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Portal is a delightful find in Lincoln! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. I ordered a beef burrito and it was packed with meat! I appreciated that they gave me enough salsa to go with it. The servers were friendly, although it took longer than I would have liked for my food to arrive. Still, I left satisfied and definitely plan on returning for more tacos soon. A solid 4 in my book!

" Finally made it to El Portal after hearing all the buzz! I was quite pleased with the vibrant decor and the energy in the restaurant. Tried the shrimp tacos, and they did not disappoint. Although the service was a bit slow, the food was fresh and flavorful! Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve eaten at El Portal several times, and it has never disappointed. The enchiladas are a must-try! The staff is extremely friendly, and the atmosphere is always lively. I do think there could be a quicker turnaround for food, but that hasn't stopped me from coming back again and again! " (*Curated Review*)
