Waiter took our order. Brought my plate out and told my husband his would be right out. I was nearly finished when his food finally arrived. And his medium rare steak was over cooked. Like well done. Not even medium well. No pink. And so he sent it back and then manager comes over and tried to figure out if it was server error or kitchen error. But quite honestly, wouldn't matter. It was not what he ordered and not out in a timely manner. Well definitely not be back to this restaurant. Although, we do like the one in Nebraska city and have never had an issue there.

We stopped here because of the Nebraska Passport program (2020). The food was good, price was great, servers were very friendly and we got our food quickly. We would definitely eat here again.

We stopped at the location in Auburn due to the Nebraska Passport 2020 and Honeybees in the Heartland promotions. Jesus is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. As he is indicative of the entire staff, we'll make an effort to return when hopefully your dining room is open. The enchiladas suizas were delicious and a great value for the money. With such a large menu, we can try something new on any visit and have another reason to come back. Highly recommend you stop at El Portal

Is it bad that I ordered one of the most American things on the menu (hamburger)? Well, either way everything was really good, the salsa they serve with the appetizer is a bit runny but has good flavor, I got fried ice cream for dessert, not sure how you fry ice cream, it was definitely something different but was really good! Oh, and the tortilla chips they serve with the appetizer are awesome, and I'm not even a fan of tortilla chips.

I ordered the Enchiladas Suiza and they were delicious. The sauce was very good. I especially liked the cheese enchilada. I had two margaritas and they were very reasonably priced and delicious. The service was attentive. I asked them if they had something hotter than the salsa that was brought to the table and they brought out something with a definite bite. It was nice and hot.

Went here a couple months ago, bugged me this whole time so I had to leave a review. This restaurant claims its food is "authentic Mexican food." This is not authentic, nor is it good. Salsa is like watery ketchup. It's literally not salsa. Tortillas are almost never cooked. (Flour tortillas aren't even generally used in authentic Mexican food, neither is ground beef.) Tables are all dirty, tacos are like school tacos (ground beef, cold mushy beans, and shredded cheddar cheese, only if you request cheese...) I could go on and on. Will never go back.

Service is always excellent, food is always good. Taco Salad Ranchero is my recommendation. Fish taco is good, if you do not normally eat fish tacos, ask for the sauce on the side. When they serve the complimentary salsa and chips, ask for Queso as well. At least try their version of this traditional cheese sauce. It mixes very well with their salsa as a tip.

Really good food and friendly staff. Had it coming back to Omaha from a hiking and camping trip to Indian Caves and it was probably the best burrito I've ever had. Highly recommend. (Heads up, their hot sauces are pretty gnarly)

What a terrible experience. Came on a Sunday night. Hour and a half before closing. Told we can sit at the bar "if we want". After we sat down, four employees clowned around behind the bar, speaking Spanish to each other, not even looking at us, greeting us, or even acknowledging us for 4 to 5 awkward minutes. They joked, laughed, pushed each other, looked at their phones, and did a few dishes while we waited. One of them finally asked us if we wanted anything. We said no, got up, and left. Goodbye El Portal, goodbye Auburn, NE, good riddance both... we'll spend the $$ in a cow town that needs the business. If you waste your time even stopping in Auburn, Nebraska, pack your lunch.

Best queso I have ever had. I only wanted a day drink and a snack. The margarita was excellent and the queso is worth it. I might have to make excuses to drive down to this part of Nebraska regularly so I can actually get food here.

This is the best authentic Mexican food my palate has ever enjoyed. Their menu is very large. All the staff is courteous. I think their strong suit is their prices. They have decent prices with generous portions and excellent quality food. If you're in Auburn, El Portal is a must stop. Enjoy.

We were very pleased with our visit this evening. Great atmosphere that kinda sets it apart from other Mexican restaurants. It looks like it may have been an old casino??Anyway, food was very good and so was the service. The non Hispanic guy that was working when we went in was very good and polite.We have officially added it to the list of come backs! Thanks guys!
