the interior of a fast food restaurant
Stuart B.

This place has earned my business in some ways. The free chips are a nice touch--who doesn't love that? They also have a great salsa bar with fresh pico de gallo, and their tacos are loaded with plenty of protein. I've tried several, including the goat taco, which was decent but a little chewy and had tiny bones. Their chicken tacos, especially the pollo and BBQ chicken, are excellent. That said, I'm giving three stars because the staff could be friendlier. Most of the time, they don't seem particularly cheerful or welcoming, and there's often a hint of attitude at the register. If they improved the customer service--being more polite, upbeat, and communicative--it would easily bump up to four stars. Parking can be tight since the lot is small, but overall, it's worth giving this spot a try. The food is solid, and you won't leave disappointed.

What the hell is this? Que chingados es esto? My husband ordered 2 plates of huevos rancheros. He got one with red sauce and no tortilla underneath. The 2nd plate was 3 fkn eggs with rice n beans! All he told them was to not add extra onion on my plate. But looking at his plate 1st, I already was so disappointed and was afraid to look at my plate. I told him before he ordered that I didn't want anything from there and this is why! they shouldn't call his huevos rancheros. If I want over easy eggs, I could have made them my self and better. And where's the breakfast papas? This was a to-go order so we got stuck with it!

Omg we came for some yummy tacos and I must say wow ! This place is pretty legit ! We got some tacos and burritos ! The tacos are good, slightly dry but they're good. Their Horchatas are not as sweet so it's perfect!

I come here all the time since it's walking distance from my house. Unfortunately their burritos have been lacking lately. They aren't wrapped tightly or steamed enough. The one I got today was 80% lettuce. And they stopped giving free chips and salsa with your order. Maybe I've just been unlucky the last couple of visits but hopefully they step their game back up. We'll see.

There's a cabeza crispy taco hidden under that mound of lettuce.

We go here for the mini restaurant...We don't really buy anything at the mercado. No frills ambience, but 5 stars for food quantity and taste. Solid, hefty options for your $s. Birria is great, chicken enchilada is delicious, and so is the lengua and cabeza. This spot is better than the other Los pericos locations. Covid masking is done by customers and staff, and hand sanitizers are available. Folks respect social distancing while waiting in line. You can eat inside but they've blocked off every other table, so space remains limited.

Everyone working here is always in a good mood, smiling and singing. That's always a good sign. I always get the crispy tacos they are so good! The salsa is so fresh you can really taste every ingredient in them. I love the chips too, so crispy but somehow light at the same time. Today, I wasn't feeling very well. Just under the weather and bummed out I was feeling crappy on my day off. I came to my favorite taqueria and was greeted so warmly, it actually made me feel much better. I ordered soup this time the caldo de res it's a beef soup. And it was excellent and exactly what I needed. The broth was flavorful and rich but light and clear at the same time. Full of veggies and served with rice, tortillas and chopped onion and cilantro. It fixed my whole life. I also enjoy the people watching here. Everyone comes here, young people, old people and people of all race and colors. Workers on lunch breaks and families, and me on my own catching a delicious meal on my day off. I love it here and I come pretty regularly. It's one of my favorites.

‼Absolutely horrible tasting food that is ridiculously over priced oh my god. NOT WORTH MY $44 !…read more I got these food items: Asada tacos- 1/2 of the taco meat was just big oily chunks of fat, I spat it out immediately. Rest of it was tolerable to chew. Tortilla was dry and oily. Al Pastor tacos- bland meat with a lingering dry pepper aftertaste that makes the meat taste old. Took one bite and was immediately repulsed. Chips and dip (guac and salsa)- chips are oily and hard to chew. Guac was bland, no garlic or cut tomato. Salsa was a viscous sludge in a small tub, had the same pepper taste as the Al Pastor. Horchata drink- too much cinnamon and saw multiple lidded to go cups of this already made in the fridge behind the register, no expiration dates on them. ALSO PLEASE UPDATE THE PRICES ON YOUR MENU, I was charged $11.95 for the chips and dip but the menu says "house chips and guac $9.50" ... how is salsa $2.45? Only positive thing I would mention is that the free tiny salsa, slice of lime, sliced radish, and pickled jalapeño and carrot was nice of them. Wish the pickled veggies didn't drip vinegar all over the bag (it was wrapped in tin foil). Never been here before and never coming back again.

Let me start off by saying, whenever possible I do my best to patronize mom and pop family-owned…read morebusinesses. By doing so I've found the food and service to be of a much higher quality. With that being said, El Portal has popped up on my feed a couple times the last couple weeks. Prompting me to save it as a potential future visit. So glad I did! Because I was NOT disappointed! Most small businesses that attempt a buffet only put out a few items, use tiny plates and charge a high price for a few low-cost items. Honestly that is not the case here, El Portal does not disappoint. The variety of dishes blew me away from fruit, salad, rice, beans, ceviche, 2 egg dishes, veggies and shrimp, veggies and fries, barbacoa, French fries and nuggets for the kids, Enchiladas, Menudo and so much more... I could go on about how great the food was. But let me just back up a bit. When I arrived at the strip mall at the foot of Lewelling Blvd., the lot was packed. Once I found a parking place, I made my way to the restaurant. It was around noonish when I got there. There was a short line at the door and a note pad on the server's kiosk. When the server came out, he called out a name off the note pad and escorted the party to their table. When he returned, he asked those in line to write down their name and number of people in the party. (Definitely do not forget to put your man on the note pad!) When my name was called, I was given the choice of patio or inside dining. I chose the Patio and was promptly shown my table. I probably could have ordered one of the awesome looking Aqua Fresca's, but decided on plain water. Wow was I surprised when the waiter brought over what appeared to be a 36 once frosty cold mug of ice water, definitely not some little cup with a couple ice cubes and warm tap water. When I walked into the restaurant, I was overwhelmed by the verity and quantity of food choices. I looked around for a stack of small plates, when I didn't see any, I asked a severer where the plates were, she pointed to a stack of Platters. Wow! They were huge, they looked like 16" platters to me. I wanted to try as many different items as possible, I soon realized just how small my big platter was. At the end of the buffet line, I went to open the container marked tortillas, and standing there was a lovely lady holding a tray of hot fresh tortillas right off the grill (how awesome is that?). If you're wondering, yes! I had to return to the buffet at least one more time. The Staff... What can I say? They were absolutely AWESOME! They were friendly, helpful and had smiles on their faces, they attended to the customers needs in a timely manner. The staff definitely deserve a full 5 stars for the job they do. I would also like to say thank you to the family that was behind me in line, they offered suggestions on items to try, which I definitely tried and enjoyed. Thank you so much for being so kind and taking time to chat. One of the things that sold me on El Portal was the flavors of the dishes especially the rice and beans. They brought back childhood memories of my favorite Mexican restaurant in Alameda (If you know, you know!) that unfortunately closed after the family sold the business. Sadly, the current incarnation just doesn't compare. I'm definitely going back in the near future to attempt yet another Big Back attack on the buffet, hope to see y'all there.

We have been coming here since my last review, they food is still good but the service has gotten a…read morelittle slow. Not sure what it is, been here when they are busy and when they are slow, but taking a lot longer to get your food, no matter what you order. Been like this for over a year now. It's very disappointing, so we dont go as much as we use to.
