I don't think I remember the last time I had delicious Mexican food. The dishes were absolutely delicious; The guac, the salsa, the queso.... genuinely EVERYTHING was so good! The portions are decently sized and I *actually* didn't feel hungry after several hours, which happens way too often when I eat out these days. The atmosphere was good and the servers were really great, too! Definitely will be back for more!

The food was very good. The ingredients from the salsa to the meal were very fresh tasting. I had the shrimp burrito. They don’t use popcorn shrimp! The portions were more than adequate! The service was fantastic and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. Very relaxing atmosphere. Very walkable from the Hampton Inn. Definitely a must visit.

Another google great find. We had a delicious meal with great service. The atmosphere is great with decorative chairs and booths. The in house made salsa was flavorful along with fresh tortilla chips. I had trio fajitas of chicken, steak and shrimp with melted cheese on top. My wife had the vegetarian burrito. We can highly recommend and suggest El Porto Mexican Grill if you are located at any of their four locations.

Went in with little to no expectations. Waiting for return-home traffic to thin after flying back to Boston. Food was fantastic. Had a shrimp salad with some modifications. Order came out perfect, quickly and delicious. Two other entrees also reported to be tasty treasure troves. Couldn't ask for more... Except maybe it was too fast because we still hit that traffic.

Restaurant has ample parking. Service was good and food came out quickly. Tried the verde enchiladas which were excellent! If you're vegetarian get black beans instead of the refried beans.

Excellent find, was convenient to the hotel and weather not great so walked across the street and ate here three nights. Super service and fresh ingredients I especially enjoyed the traditional taco salad with had plentiful chicken and satisfying toppings plus went the extra mile with fresh veggie garnish around the outside of the bowl, very good. Both non bar and bar booths were nice, clean, well ventilated and well kept, the music was lively and a little louder in the bar area.

I am staying across the street at a hotel and they recommended this restaurant. You never know what you’re gonna get when it comes to a Mexican restaurant.. this place is privately owned and was ex! Freshly made margarita with no mix and all their food and sauces are homemade. If you were in the area, I would highly recommend.. they have an extremely large bar plenty of table seating if you do not want to sit around the bar with TVs.
