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.

It was good because the waitresses before were bad. One in particular had a horrible attitude. So when they changed owners and I didn't see her I thought great! Well imagine my disappointment of seeing her there again after a couple of months. I'm pretty sure it's the one Catalina was talking about on her review. Everyone else is fine. This woman though. Every time she sees me she gives me attitude. I don't know how I offended her but it may be cause I match energies and give it right back. She also calls me mom. That's just weird!! lol.

Well my husband questioned that saying "they have them all over" knowing where different locations were around SA area. Well we needed breakfast on Sunday morning before our grocery run. And this place just happens to be across from H‑E‑B. So El Rodeo won! This is the first for me... Their refried beans were so delicious and so full of flavor! The Migas Nortenes was huge, I brought home leftovers. Sunday mornings are super busy. My second visit on a Saturday evening, was perfectly not so busy which was good for me as it's one of those places that are echo loud and overwhelming when crowded. Service was great both times. Full bar available. I tooks pics of menus since only one page was shared before. Enjoy!

The waitress brought the tacos; I looked inside the chicharron tacos and found them to be dry. Too dry to eat. I told the waitress the tacos were dry and she said, " asi Bienne." She took them, and the owner brought back the same tacos but this time they had what looked like Picante Sauce. When I told the owner I didn't want them, she got highly upset and it showed on her face. Then I said I'd like to order two chorizo and egg tacos instead. Everything was fine until I went to pay. The bill was $19 dollars and some change. The owner was charging me for the tacos I had previously ordered and didn't eat, plus, the chorizo and egg tacos. I told her I was never going back to that restaurant, and it didn't seem to faze her. Like she didn't care. Whatever happened to keeping the customer satisfied?
