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.

The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. Whether it's the enchiladas, carne guisada, or carne asada, everything we've tried has been delicious. If you're looking for authentic Tex-Mex with friendly service and consistently great food, Blanco Cafe is definitely worth a visit.

I arrived a little late for breakfast and early for lunch in my opinion soooo why not combine! lol Cheese enchiladas with 2 over easy eggs on top.. why not! AMAZING! Try it one day but be prepared to leave beyond full! I added a carne guisada with cheese to compare to others and it was exceptional. The flour tortilla here are in another level!! I would vote for them to be #1 flour tortilla in SA too! Give em a try. Enjoy!

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.

I saw a video clip of Lucy's and saw that they have good tortillas so I tried this place out to…read moreorder tacos to go. I ordered a chorizo and egg, carne guisada and a country sausage . Chorizo and egg= 1/5. It was burnt so I threw most of it out. Country sausage = 2/5. Too many onions ruined the taco Carne guisada =3/5. Not the best but not the worst either. Tortillas didn't seem fresh enough and seemed like they were a day old because they crumbled a bit when rolling them. I'm more partial to El Rafas on Hildebrand or The Original Taco House on Fredericksburg. The service was good. They had a lot of Coca Cola memorabilia by the cashier's table.

The customer service was horrible, and we were also disregarded as soon as we entered the establishment; we should have departed then. As we were eating, we were asked if a chair could be borrowed from our table. The entire table and chair was removed, then, as I was still eating, 4 employees came and stood staring at me as I ate, asking if I could finish my food, recklessly removing another chair beside me, nearly throwing my purse to the floor! At this point I was done, went to pay for our unfinished meals, asked for a tea refill and the lady refilled it putting a hole in the cup. Tea was gushing inside the cupholder spilling everywhere, me, inside of the vehicle, the ground, etc! Went to another location, where they assisted with the clean up of Mittman's mess, commenting that someone put a hole here in the cup. Mittman, you want our money, but do not want to service or treat us appropriately, never again!

This is one of the best places to eat in this area. The food is always fast, fresh, and good. I got…read morethe cheese enchiladas plate - 3 cheese enchiladas with gravy, rice, and beans. It was delicious and hit all the feels for my Mexican food craving. The service is always fast and courteous. My plate was $7.25! My friend got the liver and onions, which comes with rice, beans, and a side salad. This is her favorite place to get liver and onions - she used to go to Luby's but likes this a lot better. The liver is cut into fajita size pieces, so she said it makes more of the crispy parts. It was the special of the day so her meal was less than 6 dollars! The waitress was attentive and our food was out fast. I love the down home feel of the decor. Beautiful murals on the walls, and a private room in the back for if you have a large group. I have eaten here so many times - never ordered anything that wasn't great tasting. And so, so, so many options. I could eat here everyday - if only I lived closer.
