" I've been a regular at El Portal for quite some time and have never been disappointed. The quality of the food is always high, and I especially love their ceviche. Each visit reminds me of home cooking, and the staff makes you feel like family. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was invited to a party catered by El Portal, and I was blown away! The tacos were authentic, and the flavors left me wanting more. They even created a special veggie option for some of our guests, which was a nice touch. Strongly recommend their catering services for any event! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lackluster experience during my last visit. The food was fine but didn't leave a lasting impact. The staff were nice, but I expected a bit more enthusiasm. Perhaps it was an off day. I’ll still give them another shot because of their previous solid meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although my experience wasn't perfect, it was mostly positive. The tacos were good, though I wished the hot sauce had a bit more kick. I had to wait a while for my food, but once it arrived, I enjoyed it. I appreciate the friendly service as well. I'll give it another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love how cozy El Portal feels! The decor is charming, and you can tell the food is made with love. My friends and I enjoyed the quesadillas which were cheesy and delicious. It's a great spot to hang out without breaking the bank! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Portal has nailed Mexican comfort food! It's like getting a warm hug when you eat there. This was my first time trying their pozole, and I can't say enough good things about it. The staff was attentive, and their recommendations were on point. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
