Best WLM Reviews

Order for delivery from Tacos El Portal for the first time yesterday.
The positives: they were affordable, very quick delivery (21 minutes from when the rose was placed), decent flavoring. The meat for the tacos was clean
The cons: the tortillas on the tacos tasted sour, like maybe they were old. The absolute worse part was the birria. It’s so hard to find true goat birria here and we often go to TJ for is since it’s a scarcity here, so we were excited to try it when it was listed on the menu as goat. I don’t even think it’s actually goat and the quality was horrendous. Out of the whole serving you see, the top 3 are just chunks of the bone and fat, and only two of the bottom chunks were actually ‘meat’ but we couldn’t even eat it because it was too rubbery.
If you don’t order the birria, I’m sure the food is decent. Unfortunately though, we will not be returning since we didn’t get to eat any birria whatsoever.
Love the bacon breakfast burrito with no beans. It's a perfect 10. Been eating here for over ten years. It's the best!
I honestly didn’t want to write this review but I ordered albondigas and 6 rolled tacos through delivery and the rolled tacos were soggy!!!!!!!!!! A little crunch in the end and soggy dripping all throughout the middle it just fell out. Worst part wasn’t this the worst part is I will NEVER eat or order here again it was the albondigas they were frozen Italian meatballs! What the fu*ery!!! Just a disgrace to albondigas dish! Might as well serve spaghetti with the soup because you can smell the Italian sausage meatball, and the meatballs were so soft they melted soggy meatball in your mouth! Oh my gosh definitely not freshly made meatballs these were frozen spaghetti Italian meatballs. Hilarious and both disgusting. ????????????????
Sorry to say this my huspand ended up in the hospital from food poisoning. Just make sure if the tastes funny don't eat it. Now we are stuck with a hospital bill. We could it makes it home.????
The quesadillas were so quality they were good when I put the leftovers in the toaster oven. Sausage breakfast burrito is huge, lots of sausage, soft egg yolks, and 5$! Dont do pickup through an app though. Because my food was given away and I couldnt get a refund through grub hub.
I hate having to write reviews like this - but I MUST. I ordered food through postmates and it was a nightmare! When I opened the container of Rolled tacos a HUGH FLY flew out of the to-go-box container!!! SO GROSS - it was trapped inside the box for the entire trip to our house so we threw the tacos out. THEN.... the carne asada tacos were SO DRIED OUT that I couldn't chew the meat - it literally CRUNCHED and tasted old and dry. And if that wasn't bad enough.... When I bit into an adobada taco there was a ROCK... and actual ROCK... not a pebble... this thing was the size of an adult thumbnail!! The rest of the tacos in the batch were gritty and sandy.... I swear they dropped the meat on the floor and just scooped it back up... how else do you get sand and a ROCK INSIDE YOUR FOOD!???!! This was my first time eating from this place and NEVER AGAIN!
Love the food. Amazing customer service. Good drinks and food.
I always come to get my chips from them because they are delicious BUT was grossed out when I saw the woman/cashier grab the chips with her bare hands. Every time Ive gone they charge me different quantities for the same size of chips, which is weird to me.Also, they just seem to have attitude whenever I go.
