There's a reason this place is a destination, rather than a side quest. I live 92 miles and 2.5…read morehours away, and I make that pilgrimage a few times a year, much to my wife's consternation. "The freezer's full. Stop bringing home tamales." She's an infidel, a blasphemous Pharisee whose ignorance of the one true tamale is a point of ridicule. Tamale's are an art more than a science. My grandmother used to shut down her kitchen for two weeks each year to make tamales, which would fill a chest freezer for her husband to feast upon for lunch throughout the year. And when we went to visit, he'd share his hoard. To a point. They're both gone now, but I no longer have to wait for a family trip. Also, I can drive myself, so there's that. I make what I call The Tamale Run, a six hour drive that starts with a drive to lunch in Union Gap, a cooler filled with ice and a stack of frozen tamales, and ends with a saunter through Mt Rainier National Park. There are far worse ways to spend the day. And before you go and say, "Hey, you're spending half your day at a park," understand that part is the side quest, the icing on the cake if you will. A bonus I enjoy, but would gladly live without. So long as I get my tamales. Most tamales are dry. The masa tends to lose too much moisture when steamed. The result is typically a crumbly mess that lacks flavor and makes me wish I hadn't bothered. Los Hernandez tamales are moist, rich, and filled with consistent flavors that take me back to the trips of my youth, when my biggest concern was running out of AA batteries for my Walkman (I'm old). So do yourself a favor. Make the trek. Enjoy the journey. Savor the tamale. Ignore the other voices who tell you not to waste gas driving that far for something you could get closer, even if the nearby offerings are crap and unworthy. Tamales are more than just a food; they're a religion. Go, pray at the temple. Take your burnt offerings and some cash. Tell the priests and priestesses that you have come to kneel before Zod, or whatever your faith system commands of you.

Been wanting to stop in for a while now. Unfortunately they didn't have any of the seasonal…read moreoptions, so we got some chicken and some pork. They were quite good- maybe not the best I've ever had but meat was tender and moist, everything a good tamale should be! I just know a gal that does smoked pork tamales that's pretty hard to beat...

We like trying new places. It seems that if you tried one Mexican restaurant you have tried them all. Well that's not true because depending what state of Mexico they are from the food might be a little different in taste. Don't get me wrong they are all delicious. So, my wife and I drove around and could not find any new places and decided to go to one of our favorite places Jessie's Teriyaki, but to our surprise there it was with balloons and signs El Serrano. We looked at each other with joy because we never been there and it was opened. I could go on about the wonderful hospitality the awesome service, and the delicious food. This place is a Jem. Go try them for your self, you will not be disappointed. They have made me a life long customer.

Sides: The beans were good and well seasoned, but the rice was a total miss. A quick heads up: Their POS system was completely down when we went, so we had to pay cash. Luckily we had some on us, but definitely carry cash just in case. Overall, it was an okay experience, but with so many other Mexican options nearby, we probably won't be back.

With so many options out there El Porton is sufficient for a stand in, but if you want margaritas and food made from fresh ingredients by a seasoned chef who knows authenticity there are many better options for a nice dining experience.

The answer should always be, if it's good, we should have another one! The food here was really good! I had heard from some folks that the tacos were subpar, but when it comes to food, trying is believing, so I had to try it. I got a taco plate with an extra tripe taco, and I found they were phenomenal! The tacos were all standard street size, with a healthy portion of meat and very good flavor. The tripe taco was particularly good, and I'm generally not somebody to rave about intestines. The seasoning was solid, and the crisp on the outside was absolutely delicious! A buddy I was with had a torta, which was also very nice. They had a solid menu with a good array of predominantly classic options. They had lunch and dinner specials, and Horchata - a must anymore!
