    Mango, lime and classic margaritas
    LeeAnn R.

    Authentic Mexican food with delicious margaritas. On Thursdays, they have a taco bar with handmade flour tortillas, all you can eat for only $14.99. This place is a gem. Wonderful staff where everyone feels welcome. Whether you're traveling through or staying nearby, El Portal is a must!

    Flautas
    Hera M.

    Hidden gem in the middle of Corn Country. We drive back and forth between MN and ND and recently stopped here a few times to get our authentic Mexican fix. We had the Enchiladas, Wet Burritos, Flautas, Carne Asada, and Flan for dessert. Everything is made from scratch including their complimentary chips and salsa. The green salsa is a fave. The Wet Burritos with shredded beef is awesome but any of the meat fillings are deliciously spiced. The Flautas are the least favorite, a little too dry. The Flan tastes like a professional Pastry chef made it, it's excellent! What's also great about the homemade food is the lack of excess grease. We never leave feeling like crap or bloated. The service is warm like being welcomed into a Mexican home in Quintana Roo. The Owners and staff are kind and generous. Highly recommend!

    All I could eat was the rice and beans. That's the worst chili Relleno I've ever had.

    Xango's for dessert is a must if you still have room! Prices are good based on authenticity, value, and fulfillment! Easy parking.
