Staff cleaned all around us and everyone was in "closing soon" mode. Forgot about service and the smell of cleaning products permeating while we ate. Our bad but, in my opinion, a tad inconsiderate of their paying customers. Other than that, all was good.

Late lunch at El Portal. I had the Pollo Monterrey and my husband had the Combination plate. My…read moreplate was enough for two meals. The chicken was nicely grilled & covered with bell pepper, onions, & cheese. It included salad, guacamole, rice, & beans. The Combination plate had one cheese enchilada, one chalupa, one crispy taco, rice, & beans. The corn tortillas were homemade. Not as sure about the flour tortilla. My meal was delicious, 10 out of 10. My husband's was good, 7 out of 10. Lupita was our server & she was very pleasant & attentive. El Portal has lots of TV's, thankfully not too loud.

It's telling when you see A LOT of people eating here, and we were cautiously optimistic. Yet, we were seated immediately and food came out less than 10 minutes after ordering! Being from Tijuana by way of Guadalajara, I think I've got really good menudo figured out - and this is it! Our experience was amazing! Service was just as good (not sure what the bad reviews are about, but everyone was nice, serviceable and very welcoming!) Our new favorite spot in the SATX area for menudo!

Roach as a side is something no one wants midway through lunch, much less a waitress to invalidate…read morethe severity of the situation. The roach ran across our table and we smacked it to present to the waitress. Once she was made aware she didn't apologize; she instead excused it by saying it wasn't on our plate. We couldn't stomach the idea of continuing the meal and asked for the bill, and she refused to discount no more than $3 off our $30 bill. So disappointing and so unhygienic. Cockroaches carry dangerous germs like Salmonella and E. coli which can cause severe illness especially dangerous during pregnancy which can lead to miscarriage, waving $30 was bare minimum. A complaint to TX DSHS will be made.
