Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Fast, Fresh, Filling & Fairly priced. The thing I like best is that the staff is always moving so fast to take care of their guests. I'm from SoCal so I've been enjoying Mexican food for my whole life, this restaurant is legit. I always seem to get the Fajitas: shrimp, steak & Chicken...can't finish it, but it's awesome.

Went in with my family yesterday and left stuffed and happy. The kid's meals are only $3.50 and are a good size with drinks included. Free chips and salsa were good as well. I ordered a burrito and tostada and was less than impessed - it was just your average Mexican. My husband's carnitas however were amazing. The meat was crispy on the outside and my husband said he's never had carnitas like it. Service was good too. Will definitely be back!

This is the same group that owns other El Portal restaurants in Neb City and Auburn. This one is just as good (and as popular) as those locations. The staff is very friendly and the food is good. For those of you not familiar with El Portal the food is very similar to La Mesa but with more variety. One dish is particular is a favorite of ours - Pollo Jalisco - a grilled chicken breast covered with chorizo and cheese - delicious. Everything here is decent from something as simple as nachos to the bacon wrapped shrimp.

Great friendly place to eat! They are good friendly hard workers. We usually get the Hawaiian fajitas, it is very tasty! I have had other things on menu and haven't been disappointed yet. Their margaritas that come in many flavors are really good too!

Wednesday night is cheap margarita night! I always get the Nacho's del Portal. The wait staff is VERY good and attentive. The food is pretty good.

My father and I were staying at the Western Inn, which is just across the street. This place was THE happening joint in town. In a town of 5,200 people, we had to wait for a few minutes. Our salads were good (Taco Salad and Mexican Salad), but the tortilla soup was cold and funky (and it came out 10 minutes late). The salsa (for the chips and salsa) was a bit too watery. The servers were nice, though. Everyone was quite helpful and the people were friendly. Beware: the portions are HUGE. Massive. Gigantic. Neither of us finished our salads. And we wanted to.
