My partner and I had gone, and I wasn't sure what to order, but she was incredibly patient, helpful, and kind while walking us through the menu. I ordered the Cajun Chicken Linguini Alfredo--it was okay, just a bit too heavily seasoned for my taste. I also tried the mac and cheese with bacon, which I would definitely recommend (I just wish it came as more than a side!). My partner ordered the all-you-can-eat shrimp, and we were only able to order a few each time so we ended up being there for about two hours--and Alyssa stayed patient, attentive, and super friendly the entire time. Her attitude really made the whole experience worth it. We made sure to tip her well because she absolutely deserved it. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves--thank you, Alyssa! :)

I stopped by Portabello's for a Sunday brunch and overall, I had a very nice experience. We were…read moreseated right away and provided menus promptly, which is always a good start. We ordered avocado toast, French toast, banana pecan pancake, house potatoes, and an Aperol spritzer. My avocado toast was served on a single very thick piece of bread, which had a very generous amount of avocado smash and was topped off with this delightful and fresh arugula salad. I added an over easy egg for an extra charge that was the perfect balance. The house salad was simple with butter lettuce, cherry tomatoes, radish, cucumber, with a light lemon house dressing that brought the salad together. It was refreshing. The French toast is pretty standard. Nothing that particularly stood out. The banana pecan pancake was delicious and shared with everyone at the table. The house potatoes were extra crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, which I found particularly satisfying. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and found Portabello's to be a good brunch spot in Salinas. The service was fast, the food portions were big, the food tasted fresh, and it was a nice ambiance. I would definitely return for the avocado toast and potatoes. Side note - I noticed Caesar Salad was misspelled on the menu as "Caeser"

Main issue is that quesadilla comes with salsa and sour cream. I told the cashier that it didn't come with food and she goes "oh we ran out so we didn't add it". No warnings beforehand, no discount, no apologies. Another thing, all three orders came IN ONE PLATE? It's reusable for Christ's sake this isn't even an environmental thing. Pretty sure we're missing an order of fries but kinda hard to tell when it's all tossed into One basket. Also the quesadilla came as whole tortilla, not even cut up. What, did they run out of knives too? No wonder so many students look so depressed, if they really cared about student health they'd invest in better food and better student workers. I wish I took a photo, I ate my paper thin quesadilla in a fit of anger so I forgot to.

On a side note, the sugar company was founded in 1893 by German immigrant Claus Spreckels and once housed the largest sugar beet factory in the world. Just a Post Office, small grocery store, church, a few commercial businesses, and the T & A Cafe Kleinfeldt Family BBQ. The building was once a cafe for truckers, and it still maintains that same vibe with a walk-up counter and seating yourself. The atmosphere aside, the menu is plentiful and the BBQ itself is very good. Tender brisket, as it should be, along with all the other standard BBQ entrees. The chicken tends to be a little dry but that's usually how it goes with BBQ chicken. Various sides to complement the meal which make for a complete dining experience. Well worth a side trip into Spreckels for very good BBQ.

They didn't start arriving for quite a while and multiple drinks were incorrect. It was well over an hour before our food order was taken. We were almost two hours in before the food started arriving. The salads that came with meals were good. A number of folks ordered the bisque and after some entrees were already being served to some, our sever said they were out of bisque, but making some more. About a half hour later the bisque came and everyone said it was cold. I'll just describe my meal, but there were issues with others as well. I ordered the halibut ($44). It was served atop mashed potatoes and asparagus. The potatoes were cold. The fish was a very thin filet (was it even halibut?), breaded and grilled. It was so hard and dry I had to use a knife to cut it. It was mostly breading and not much fish. If we were not guests of the dinner coordinator, I would have sent it back.. Our group understands the challenge of serving a big group, but this was beyond unacceptable. Is there any management oversight? Who's training the kitchen? We were seated for over three hours just to get through our meals, with no appetizers or deserts ordered. The restaurant was not busy for inside seating either.

We ordered the mulcajete, crunchy quesa birria tacos, enchiladas, and a chille relleno à la carte. The mulcajete came out bubbling hot with tons of beef, chicken breast, shrimp, and all the veggies. My daughter said her enchiladas (1 chicken and 2 cheese) were extraordinary. The birria tacos were on par - she makes the tortilla with a crunch to it. They were wonderful. Everything else was also very delicious. The rice was fluffy and tasty. The beans were a little soupy but tasted great. I like my beans a little more dense and thick. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. Make sure you introduce yourself to Maria. She's a pleasure to speak with and she serves tasty food!
