- Excellent #30411
I don't understand how El Porton doesn't have a five start average. It's one of my favorite spots in all of Manhattan and it never disappoints anyone I bring.

Portions are good, service is generous and attentive, margaritas are dynamite.

I typically get a carnitas chimichanga. It takes under 15 minutes to come out, and everything else has been delicious. My only meh were the nachos, but I've tried at least 60 percent of the menu and haven't found any other disappointment. Calamari is surprisingly excellent. Dressing on the side salads is perfect.

I would go for the margaritas alone, delicious first, boozy second and not sugary or syrupy like most places. I've also been treated to a free shot after a few drinks by the lovely staff.

They play major tv events of their big screen when on, they play fun music at night and smooth music during the day.

Delivery is pretty quick so it arrives in pretty good shape.

Love El Porton.

This review is solely for cheese flautas, to go. If you get this menu item specifically, to go, you should enjoy yourself. They're delicious.

I can't vouch for the rest of the menu.

- Poor #30415
It's almost comical how bad the service is here. And the food is painfully overpriced... that being said, it is still the best Mexican restaurant in walking distance of Columbia University.

Great place to get a good site down lunch for a great price. The lunch menu is under $10 and a drink is included. I ordered the vegetable quesadilla; a good portion with guacamole on the side. Definitely recommend this place for Columbia students.
