" Had a great meal at El Portal! The flavors were authentic and very satisfying. The only downside was the slightly longer wait for my food due to how busy they were. However, the service was friendly, and the restaurant had such a warm, welcoming vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my visit to El Portal, I felt the service was a little underwhelming during the busy lunch rush. I had to wait a bit longer than expected for my food to arrive. The food itself, especially the fajitas, were very tasty and made with fresh ingredients—definitely authentic, just could use some streamlining in the service. " (*Curated Review*)
