" This is one of my go-to spots for a casual dinner after work. I love the laid-back environment, and the staff always greet me with a smile. I typically get their fajitas since they are packed with a variety of flavors. Pricing is reasonable considering the large portions offered. However, on my last visit, I noticed the salsa wasn’t as fresh as before, which was disappointing. Still, overall, I will keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Porton and was quite pleased with the experience. The first thing that struck me was the lively atmosphere; it felt inviting and had a great energy about it. We were seated promptly and our server was very friendly. I ordered the steak burrito, which I thought was decent but not as flavorful as expected. Still, the accompanying salsa was fresh and a highlight. I do wish their menu included more traditional options, as I think a focus on true Mexican flavors would elevate the overall dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Porton has always been my go-to for quick, fulfilling meals. The last time I visited with a large group, the staff did an excellent job accommodating us despite how busy they were. My favorite dish remains the shrimp tacos, which are always packed with fresh ingredients and mouth-watering flavors. They also have some unique beverages that complement the food beautifully. Overall, this spot does a fantastic job balancing quality and quantity, and the atmosphere has a fun, festive vibe that makes dining here a pleasure. Highly suggested for family dinners or casual meet-ups with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ll be honest; my last experience at El Porton was underwhelming. While the staff is polite, I found the food lacking in authenticity. I ordered the steak and it didn't have much seasoning. The salsa that accompanied my meal was too mild. I've had better Mexican food elsewhere. That said, I might return to try a different dish because the atmosphere was nice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing experience at El Porton last week! The décor transports you straight to Mexico, really setting the mood for an authentic meal. I tried the fajitas and they were truly the best I've ever had—lots of meat and cooked to perfection. The service was quick and friendly, and I loved that they checked on us regularly without being intrusive. It's great to find a place with such quick service without compromising the quality of food. I will definitely return soon, especially for the atmosphere and their terrific margaritas! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to El Porton for years, and I can't express how much I appreciate their consistency. Their chicken soup is a highlight, especially during the colder months! The staff always makes me feel welcomed, and the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed meal. The portions are incredibly generous, making it a great place for family meals. I recommend making this one of your choices! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our team picked El Porton for an end-of-week lunch, and it was a solid choice! The food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. I particularly enjoyed the burrito, which was well-stuffed and savory. The vibe was causal yet lively, making it a great spot for hanging out with colleagues. I would say the price point is fair for the quality. I’ll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
