3 reviews for Taqueria El Portal
Bad neighborhood, great food. Try their chicken enchilada plate, complete with rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream, and tortillas. Another solid option is their Carne Asada plate, which my wife swears by. Also, try their Shrimp Cocktail, loaded with Pico de Gallo, huge shrimp, and avocado. Add some tapatio and you're in for a refreshing treat.
My only gripe is that their chips are sometimes a bit stale, and unless you're fluent in Spanish, don't attempt any special orders. Trust me, it's just easier on everyone.
If you can get passed the 'barren blues' that is North Highlands (and the potential language barrier), then this place is a real winner.
hells yeah. this place rocks! very authentic food and environment. self serve chips and salsa, and fountain soda. unique menu options, i'm pretty sure they serve menudo.
i felt like a mexican mafia was going to bust through the doors and shoot everyone dead. and it is in north highlands, so this is possible... order to go.
Well i been coming to this place for quite a few years now, My Main reason to coming back here was that they were one of the few places that served Tripe tacos in north Sacramento (north highlands), well there are more places now days. But this place its quite and just great to eat some mexican food at.
Don't get me wrong i know for most of people eating Tripe or Tongue tacos would be disgusting.... but u guys know where the cheap burger paddies are made from... ??
Anyways this place has good service, its owner its always there taking orders, They don't have Waiter service, which is OK.. because if u have any questions about the food you can just ask to the owner.
I haven't tried the whole menu yet, i usually just go for the tacos.. and the location of the restaurant.. close to my friends neighborhood. but i bet all of the plates are good. This told from a real mexican(me). not lieka regualr taco Bell.. and their mexican Wanna be food.,
By the way the prices.. could be just a lil bit more than an average taco, but i say tat the tortilla are well done, tacos are well served, and they had great salsas, and mexican water flavors UNLIMITED, and u can always sit and watch thier Ok size TV.
