El Portal Mexican Restaurant

My wife and I were in Nebraska City for our honeymoon and decided to stop by El Portal for some food, and we very much enjoyed our experience. My wife is a vegetarian and they had plenty of items for her to choose from and I got a seafood quesadilla. The prices were really good! You can easily find a meal for less than $10. The salsa is amazing and I requested to purchase some but our server (I cannot remember his name) gave us a nice to-go container for the salsa FOR FREE! Even after I insisted I’d pay for it. Our server was incredibly professional, well groomed and even cracked a few unexpected and well timed jokes to make the experience even better. The hospitality was incredible and everyone seemed to be happy to work there.

If anyone is in Nebraska city and is looking for a perfectly affordable and delicious culinary experience, I highly recommend El Portal. We will definitely return.

You can tell that they are struggling to get it right after reopening from the pandemic. 2 out 6 orders were wrong but the food is still very good!

Very good food. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Good experience for the whole family.

Stopped in while driving across the country. The food was really good! We got beef nachos off the kids menu for the kids and at first I was unhappy to see ground beef but it was seasoned very well! I had the fajita burrito and it was amazing. I have eaten at a lot of similar style Mexican restaurants but the food here was by far the best. This will be a planned stop in the future! Lunch menu has great prices!

Good quality as with all their other stores. Good price lunch menu. Food served quickly and hot and delicious. I make this one of my primary lunch stops when I'm in town.
