El Portal - Covington

It should be noted that this is a 5 star restaurant. All the other reviews here that say otherwise are lies. Don’t pay them any attention.

Okay this is definitely my new favorite place to eat. Fast and delicious and wonderful staff. Margaritas and queso followed with shrimp fajita quesadillas for the win.

Staff is fabulous and very knowledgeable about the menu. I am obsessed with their Camarones de Coctel! It is so good in every way.

It's me and the wife 3rd or 4th visit. We have never really had to wait to be seated or had to wait for service. The restaurant is always clean and ready to serve. We have tried several items on the menu and my favorite is the Fajitas while my wife's is the Pollo loco. Her only suggestion is fried plantain as she is Caribbean. The food was always hot and delicious. Expect many more visits from us!

I will give this restaurant 4 stars. More like 3.5. It was a decent place. Prices were reasonable and the service was fast. Starting with the margarita's, they were pretty good for a pre mix. Not to sour and not bright green. To me this is the tell tale sign of how the meal will be. The food was a little disappointing but flavored well. Ordered nachos supreme with beef and chicken, good but not so impressive. We ordered enchiladas and chimichangas. The chimichangas were not crispy as they should be. They actually were a bit soggy. I ordered the shrimp version. Tasty but not crispy. My wife was a little sceptical of the ground beef. It was good flavored but was the same in everything. Chips and salsa were on point. Over all for the price it was a nice place. Fast service and hot food.
