Calabasas con Pollo, Menudo, Pozole, Chile Relleno, breakfast tacos (all kinds), pancakes, are all so flavorful and satisfying. The wait staff are so polite and always provide top notch service here. I've been coming here for at least 10 years. I live in Arizona but I visit my step-dad with my family every year. He lives nearby. We have to come here at least every other day we visit. I h i g h l y recommend Vallarta Grill. The locals eat here a lot. I see the same people eating here year after year. This place is family owned and operated and they are absolutely just wonderful people. Come and see for yourself!

Fantastic little spot in C-ville! If you're looking for great menudo, chorizo and great service,…read morethen look no further! 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.

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.

I hope they make this a permanent item because it's the best fish I've ever had in a restaurant. I highly recommend this place.
