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.

First of all, Iowa State Police frequent here after scraping bodies off the treacherous roads of SW Iowa. That's saying something. Who has an appetite after that? Unless the food is good. And it is good here. There are not too many choice in Shenandoah... this is not a big town. But even with the lack of competition, El Portal is not mailing it in. They serve ample portions of all menu items. I usually go with pork items like chile verdes or carnitas... even fajitas sometimes. I hold off on the tortillas as that is usually too much food. Another tip is to ask for red or green Yucteca sauce. they have it, but it is not on the tables. Your server will love you for asking for it... it proves you love flavor. Yucateca habenero sauces make everything better! : )

Choices are limited in Shenandoah these days, a couple of Chinese buffets, the usual fast food chain dreck and a couple of pretty good diners. El Portal has a few locations in the area and without exception they serve pretty darn good mexican/american food! Having lived in Southern Arizona for a few years I tend to be a bit snobbish about what is loosely referred to as Mexican cuisine in the Midwest. El Portal has delivered a quality meal every time and in every location! The Enchiladas Acapulco (seafood enchiladas) are simply delicious! Good service, reasonable prices and consistency make El Portal a solid choice every time!

The food was nothing spectacular. The guacamole was past it's prime and the service was terrible.
