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. Afternoon is a good time to go.

I really wanted to love this place and had high hopes, because the flavor was there. I'm wondering if the portions are bigger when you dine in, because my drive-through order didn't feel like a good value. It has the potential to be a 5-star spot, but the portion size needs improvement for the price.

No. Did I know there was a Castroville-favorite restaurant there as well? Also no. We had to try it. Located inside the Alsatian Golf Club's clubhouse is their 19th-hole restaurant and bar: Julianna's Restaurant. Upon entry, you realize the place has been around for some time. It feels very classic San Antonio, with wooden walls accented by tan and white bricks. The restaurant's aged interior gives it a cozy, lodge-like charm. Though the restaurant was pretty busy on a Saturday night, we were seated instantly at a booth that gave me a perfect view of the Georgia-Alabama game on the bar's TV. After nine or eighteen holes, you never know what you're in the mood for. That's why Julianna's has plenty of options: sandwiches, pizzas, pasta, seafood, steaks, and other meat dishes. Our server came by very quickly and got us our drinks, which for me was a tall Saint Arnold Oktoberfest. I had a tough time deciding between two options: a bone-in pork chop or their creamy Cajun pasta. I opted for the bone-in pork chop with a Caesar salad, bacon green beans, and herb rice. My dad got the creamy Cajun pasta, and my mom got the Southwest chicken. It wasn't long until the Caesar salad came out, with huge croutons and a generous helping of dressing. It was excellent to the point my mom wished she had ordered it over her chicken tortilla soup, which she also enjoyed. If you ever order a meat entrée and they stick a steak knife in it, you're in for an ESPN Instant Classic. The pork chop was huge, topped with a house raspberry chipotle sauce. It was tender and cooked well. I'll admit, trying to find the bone versus the pork was a challenge, but I think that was a me issue. I would order it again. As for the sides, the bacon green beans were sneakily running for Sixth Man of the Year, and the herb rice paired with the pork chop quite well. I would go back. The meal was high quality and felt like a hidden gem even for longtime Castroville residents. What a treat. RIYL: Going to golf courses while being very bad at golf.
