Love stopping here and getting a big marg! Everything I have ever gotten here has been good. The green salsa with especially good.
Get the pitcher margaritas, they are a great value and taste! Great kids menu option and the atmosphere is fairly loud in the evening so bringing kids that might be a bit fussy is a okay. We always have a fun and yummy existing eating here.
9/9/24 Visiting my sister and stopped in for dinner. For a Monday night they was extremely busy for 630pm. Had to sit outside on the patio. Food was ok. They do a good chili reno. Iv had many places but they do it good! I paid for 3 adults. Price was great. Service was fine. Someone was always asking if we need anything. Never had issues considering we was outside and no one else was.
Excellent food and great service. Friendly staff. My daughter had chicken fajita quesadilla and I had the deluxe burrito. Both were delicious! We shared a tamale and lime margarita which were also sooooo good. We are so glad we came.
Went with 3 coworkers. Food was excellent as was service!
This was a nice surprise. It was a wonderful dining experience. One of my pet peeves about Mexican food is the regional trend today to have all of the food under seasoned or rather bland. That was certainly not the case here. Everything was deliciously seasoned. Probably the best Mexican food I've had in quite some time. There's a great atmosphere inside. The chips were nice and warm and crispy. The salsa was quite good. I had a burrito that was stuffed with pork served with beans and a lot of garnish on the side. Rather than the bland meet I have gotten recently and most Mexican restaurants this was seasoned well and tasted great. If I hadn't been driving I would have been tempted to try some of their drinks. Service was wonderful. I had the burrito carnitas. It was a tough decision because the menu is quite extensive and tempting. Definitely on my list of places to return to.
Great food served hot at good prices served by friendly hardworking staff. Sunday dinner meal for our party of six. Restaurant was busy, staff was moving quickly; food came out quickly and without a single deficiency. Entrees ordered: Camerones a la diabla, Angels enchiladas, chicken tacos, seafood fajita, tilapia el puerto, and fajita hawaiiana. Seafood fajita - cooked perfectly, very generous amount of seafood, and very flavorful. Cooked just right, each ingredient’s flavor shone independently rather than becoming a single taste mash of stuff. Vegetables really stood out, they had the right amount of body; not overcooked where they’d be moosh like so many places cook them. Angels enchiladas - chicken in it was amazing, one of my 10 year old granddaughters kept eating, no worrying about saving room for dessert; it was that good. Chicken tacos - another great entree, she really loved the sauce noting it was limey, but not perfumey (her words, in other words it had just the right amount of lime flavo). Camerones a la diabla - the shrimp were extremely tasty in the “spicy” red sauce. Also, the red sauce really made the rice that comes with the dish very tasty. One gripe, the “spicy” red sauce is definitely not spicy. It is a great tasting sauce, just not spicy. All six dishes were enjoyed by our group. We did share a bit and can say for sure, every dish had its own flavor which we found particularly surprising because the restaurant’s menu is rather large. Based on our experience we expect a place with a huge menu to have food that mostly tastes the same as various components get used repeatedly throughout the menu; El Puerto was not like that, great unique flavors for each dish.
The food was good. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. The service was good. The Waiters are always nice. Taco Tuesdays are great, $1.50 tacos. They always have specials, which make it better. There were 6 of us, and everyone enjoyed their food AND cleaned their plate. I always go with a group of people, and everyone has always enjoyed their food. They always have 25 cent candy and gum to purchase after your meal. There were several people there, but we got our food at a reasonable time. The parking lot is clean. It is right off the highway, and the area is safe. Ehh, got take out tonight. It was cold. This hasn't happened before. It was all together off. Wasn't a fan tonight. Truly disappointed.
