El Portón Mexican Mcallen - N. McAllen

Would definitely recommend to try this place at least once. This is what we ordered and it was really good. Red and green salsa were perfect. They served chips with black beans and red salsa will you wait to order. Excellent service and food came outpretty fast. Came in at 9am. Will go back to try out more plates for sure.

It was not too busy for lunch which worked in my favor. I ordered the ?Bistec Ranchero?, I would have included a picture of it when it came in I took a bite and after that bite I did not stopped. If that is not an indication of how good it was I don?tknow what is. Their lemonade was delicious, the flower tortillas were good and the chip and dips were also good.

I ordered a combo meal that contained 5 tacos and a tiny cup of beans; no soda for $10.95. The tacos were good, but the beans literally have no flavor and they were a tad undercooked. The only complaint I have is the price. My husband ordered theSincronizada and it was delicious! Really big and will fill you up, but again it's just the prices that will hinder us fromreturning.

We stumbled across this place by chance. I can't believe we were missing out on the best Mexican Food I have ever tasted in the Valley. On top of that the staff was very attentive. We had the best waiter ever. Our drinks never ran dry. Prices werequite reasonable and it had a wonderful atmosphere. It was our first time here but it definitely won't be the last. Keep upthe great work!!! I would give El Porton 10 stars if I could!!!

Let's start by saying the place looks really nice inside, we liked the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff(server, cashier etc. The huevos rancheros were delicious, for $5.95 you get 2 eggs, fried tortillas, bacon, refried beans andpotatoes. The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium,the salsa for the eggs was delicious, the fries corn yellow tortilla underthe eggs was tasty, the bacon was thin but tasty, the refried beans are delicious, the potatoes are cooked to order but kindabland, they could use some seasoning. The coffee here is amazing. The bistec ranchero was tasty, the salsa was delicious alsothe rice was cooked perfectly.the salsas with chips they gave us did have a great taste to them. The frijoles charros had agood taste but could use some more something, like adding bacon,cueritos or wienies. The tacos could use a bit moremeat(including barbacoa in them, some of our tacos had an okay amount while others not so much, the meat did have a good tasteto them, but we all felt they were lacking in meat. Overall i highly recommend this place now that they have breakfast options.
