What People Are Saying About El Porton Mexican Restaurant

The Scene
If not for the high volume of traffic pouring into the private parking lot, you could miss this freestanding building on busy Alpharetta Highway. Prepare to stand in the foyer--or have a beer or lifeless margarita at the packed bar--while waiting for a table. Surrounded by a noisy and energetic crowd, you'll hardly notice the sparsely decorated rooms.
The Food
El Porton's expansive menu is full of hearty Mexican flavors and fresh ingredients. Chips are served warm, and the salsa has a kick. If you want more starters, try the creamy guacamole seasoned with onion and peppers, or the buttery nachos smothered with grilled chicken and melted Jack cheese. The perfectly grilled fajitas are your best bet for an entree. Beef and shrimp quesadillas are packed with meat, but light on cheese and slightly greasy. When it's time for dessert, go for the flan.

To Whom who loves GREAT MEXICAN DINNERS, I am a local Roswell guy with a family and Business owner. I have been going to El Porton for Many years (1995?), They moved from the Roswell shopping center close to Mazzy's bar and Grill. They have been a constant Mexican place for freinds and family to have lunch with on Sundays. I have seen the same servers there for many years. I have gone to other local mexican places and wasn't near as satisfied with the food or service. I have Hired them to Cater at least 6 parties at my home and business and have no complaints. I Recommend El Porton to anyone. Ask for their famous Burrito Salsa for your chips prior to your meal.... I also enjoy their Surf Dip for the actual meal with their chips. can't wait til my next visit Another Satisfied Customer, Enjoy!!!

The food here tastes like it came from the freezer and was thrown into a microwave. It is far below average, almost to the point of being unpalatable. Several of my friends got indigestion after eating at El Porton. I will never go to this place again.
