What User likes about El Portal:
We love this place and we often go there! Food was always good, the service is almost always fast, people are friendly, and the margaritas are the best in town! We never had a bad experience. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about El Portal:
eating that is vegan is excellent, but there are only two options. either you get a veggie fajita, or you get the soy chorizo tacos that is not really on the menu. make sure you don't ask for a cheese or a sour cream. View all feedback.
