" I enjoyed my meal at El Portal, but I expected it to be a bit more authentic. The menu offered a variety of options, but some dishes felt a bit Americanized. The service was friendly, and I did enjoy my burrito, but for those looking for true Mexican flavors, it might not meet all expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Portal with my family last weekend, and we were all very impressed. The steak burritos were gigantic and packed with flavor. The salsa they serve as a starter is outstanding—definitely homemade! The staff was friendly, although they could have been a bit quicker. Still, an enjoyable experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Portal seems to have it all – good food and excellent service. The staff here are genuinely friendly, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. However, the music could be turned down a bit as it can get quite loud at times. All in all, a solid option for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)
