This place is excellent when it comes to Mexico food. The sangria is awesome. They staff here are very friendly and the food taste great. If you really want some great authentic Mexican food, El Porto Mexican Restaurant is the place to go. This is the real Mexican deal. I really love the ambiance this place. Your margaritas and tequilas will go a long way. So if you want great Mexican food come here...

They have great food! The enchiladas were so good. And the taco was the best I've ever had, really good flavor. They even gave me a free desert which was so awesome! I'll definitely be ordering from them again soon.

My favorite restaurant ever! I suggest the Pollo Loco. It is chicken breasts with onions, salsa, guacomole salad, lettuce and cheese. Unlimited chips and salsa. They also have a buffet. Prices are very good.

Great tacos, however the place was unnecessarily cold for a restaurant. My tacos were cold one minute after they were on my table. They still were good tho. The Chile relleno was too salty but the lady took it off the bill without me asking for it. So service is amazing, and I'll come back to check other dishes. Hopefully they'll have a decent temperature for a restaurant, is not nice to eat in a cold/chilly environment, makes me wanna leave fast.

No more bone in chicken in the buffet line but still an awesome place to eat. Great wait staff and very clean inside. Get that chicken back in the buffet for 5 stars!

Ordered takeout during pandemic, they got the order correct (majorplus), quick and efficient. The food was great but my favorite part was the guacamole and the veggies in my burrito were room temperature instead of cold out the fridge. I don't like my guacamole cold. Thanks again for a good experience.

I enjoy the quieter atmosphere of El Potro vs Agave. The service is quick and friendly. Food is Tex Mex which I love and the Margaritas are the best!

One of the only restaurants I can honestly say I could close my eyes and point at the menu to find my next favorite dish. Truly the best Mexican food I've ever had. The staff is always so wonderful and the food always comes out piping hot. If you're anywhere in the State of Florida, it's an absolute must-try!!!

Absolutely the best Mexican food in the Orlando area!!! After being in Florida (from Texas) since 1989, I had given up on finding authentic Mexican cuisine, but this is unbelievably good stuff and priced right. Fantastic drink specials and exceptional buffet. Outstanding staff.

I came to visit St. Augustine and on the ride home wanted to stop and eat and came to this restaurant. I have never tried such good food and the I recommend the nachos supreme for it is delicious. I hope to return to this restaurant to try something delicious again. Thank you for the wonderful experience as well.
