This family owned restaurant has been a favorite of my family since we found out about it, their food is top tier, the customer service is elite, they treat you like family. I have had quesadillas, burritos, carne asada which comes with mixed veggies, rice, beans and tortillas! The juices! Agua de jamaica y horchata are the most delicious! If I keep going I will never finish! ITS A MUST GOOOO

Just celebrated my husband’s birthday here today, we go as a family almost every weekend!! It’s a must go restaurant, food is amazing, they treated my husband like a king, I was able to put balloons and they put mariachis while we were eating there, birthday songs and the service was super great. YOU MUST TRY AND SHARE WITH OTHER PEOPLE!!! This place needs to be known in a lot of places!!

This family-run business is worth a stop. We tried the burrito, torta, and tacos. The torta was so good that it’s one of my favorite sandwiches overall. Everything else was fantastic. The ground beef, usually one of my least favorites in Mexican food, was bright and tasty. Order up front at the counter, food is brought to the table. Guacamole available but extra cost. Great place!

Looking for homemade Spanish food? This is the place! Now ill first say, im no where near Spanish. In fact im Polish and born/raised in the US by polish parents. But I had the opportunity to have employees and friends who were Spanish and made homemade food. With that experience it has always been tough finding good restaurants that were similar. El Portal hits all the marks. Everything I have had so far reminds me of home(really work and my friends homes😂). Their customer service is great. The owners are also the workers and they clearly take pride in what they are doing. I highly recommend stopping by!
