Cafe El Portal - Broad Channel

Love it this is one of the best taste ever try before :D

We looked all over for something Mexican and a bit different and stumbled on this place. Really tiny little place a little overheated. Very fine margarita, and I have to say terrific entree of corn cob grilled in spices. Mains quite good, service distant but ok. On the whole we were pleased with that little place.

Cute little place, very tiny. The food was okay. I had a burrito, which was okay. My dining partner had enchiladas. Everything was passable, but nothing special. Bold flavors said one review. Bold? No.

Reliable standby for more traditional Mexican dishes in the neighborhood v. Tacos!

This place is amazing-a tiny gem serving consistently outstanding food! I had a salad, with the freshest tomatoes and avacados and flavorful grilled chicken. One person in our group had a three meat dish, with the beef, chicken and pork perfectly spiced and cooked, while the other had a chili relleno which was one of the best I have ever tasted. I love the salsa verde which is hot, and the homemade chips. I usually avoid chips because I want to fully enjoy the entree. Not to worry. The chips are part of the meal, nicely salted, not greasy. As people who have lived in Texas and California and have eaten various permutations of Mexican food for years, we are huge fans of this place.
