El Porton Mexican Restaurant

We've been here many times before. It's typical tex-mex food but usually it's fast and great service. However, it's been a year or so since we visited this location and on our recent visit the service was terrible. Our waiter took our order and we didn't see him again for 45 minutes. We finally had to go to the hostess and ask for the manager to get our check and leave. They were not overly crowded either, it was just bad service. We won't be back to this location.

The shrimp tacos are delicious with all the fixings. And I always love to bring out of town guests here and if you go to the highway 10 location you could see the robot server machines that bring you. Your salsa and chips. The human service is above and beyond.

They always keep my drink full and I never have to ask for chips and salsa refills. It is extremely family friendly, Add it makes for a nice night out for my wife and me

Didn't get much from my visit there except for the customers, a nice bunch of people. I'm not passing judgement on the crew yet as that's going to be a wait and see. Service was alright but I guess I expected more. The drinks are on time ‼️ I'll definitely try them again soon. I want to believe that the review stars will thicken.

Update 2023

We wanted to give them another try and it was surprisingly better this time around.

My husband ordered the La Poblano with grilled chicken served on a bed Poblano peppers, mushrooms and onions. The peppers were cooked well and the flavor was great to the palate. I ordered the La Mejor which considered of chalupa texana and chicken quesadilla covered in cheese sauce. Large portions and very tasty.

I was more excited about the new server they have on hand. Actually I was fascinated and thought how my grandchildren would love them. Too know they make robo vacuum cleaners well now there are robo servers. Right out of the Jetsons cartoons. That alone will have me coming back

Great job ❣️

After being on a Keto diet this would be my cheat meal Oh boy I do love Mexican food Once we were seated we had to wait a few minutes then the server came by and asked if we wanted menus. Yes please. We ordered and we never saw her again until time to pay. We had to ask someone else for water. Their margaritas were good and strong. The cheese dip was blah. Melted cheese with no spice. The salsa was perfect. I ordered the Mocajete and my husband ordered beef fajitas. What I received wasn't what I expected at all. The Mocajete had diced pineapple on top which made the sauce sweet. I was able to remove most of the pineapple but it didn't change the flavor. In addition, it had two large slices of cheese that never melted. Not a fan. The side dish of rice was clumpy and cold. This was our third visit and last. There are many other Mexican Restaurants to visit and dine in. I will have to wait until I can have another cheat meal. 🙁
