Friendly, delicious and festive. Great prices and the best Steak Picado I've ever found in L.A. Varied menu and prompt service make this a must for Mexican cuisine.
El Portal is one of those places where everything is good. Their margaritas are stupendous. For outstanding flavor, try the lomo saltado. Chips and salsa are top notch. Also, the mariachis rock.
Shrimptostada is excellent, Pannucho's are the bomb mchaca con Huevos are my husbands favorite. Great margarita, lovely staff and family owned and run.
The Yucatan Trio was filling but underwhelming in flavor. If you aren't sure what to try though, it is a good sampler of their Yucatan inspired cuisine.
