This is My GO TO, they have a great buffet, most all your favorites plus Flan and other desserts. The place is always clean and the buffet is restocked as needed, if you need anything, the friendly staff will gladly get it, most times you don’t have to ask, they will check in often. It is a family run, authentic Mexican restaurant, not Texmex, but there are a few items if you like that sort of thing.

It all began with a love of buffets. Being tired of the usual lineup, i was searching for someplace new. I had the notion to look up all you can Mexican and BOOM! ! I found my new favorite radiators
Restaraunt. I love this place much i should be ashamed. I take everyone here, Because who doesn’t like tacos? The staff are always friendly, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is wonderful! Been coming here since about 2018 or so. I’m never stopping.

We were seated in like under a minute. The chips and salsa were delicious, the salsa had a bit of a kick to it, but it was still delicious. My wife and I ordered the burrito grande, and I ordered the rice and beans on the side. That burrito was almost as long as the plate they brought it on. But it was freaking awesome, it was off the chain. We really enjoyed going to El Potro and we’ll definitely be going back there. And they have a buffet which we’ll be trying out.

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised, we enjoyed the buffet. The food was excellent and authentic. The tamale wasn’t great but everything else was fantastic. Good service too. We both said we found our go to Mexican spot. I’m Mexican and wasn’t expecting good authentic food but it was tasty.

If I could give this place more than 10 stars, I would. From start to finish, everything was flawless — but the real showstopper? The chicken fajita nachos.
They came out sizzling hot, piled high with perfectly seasoned grilled chicken, melted cheese, sautéed onions, and peppers that still had that little bit of char for extra flavor. Every bite was a perfect combination of crispy chips, smoky fajita flavor, and creamy goodness. The portion was generous too — enough to share, though you probably won’t want to once you taste them.
The service was attentive without being intrusive, and you could tell everyone genuinely cared that we had a great experience. Everything from the presentation to the flavors was spot-on.
This restaurant is easily one of my new favorites. Whether you’re a fan of authentic Mexican food or just love great dining experiences, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! ❤️

This place rocks! Hands down, they have the best chicken fajitas we have ever eaten. The chicken makes it.. Thinly sliced, cooked to perfection with those onions and bell peppers, no tomatoes here. The best part is that it is flavorful with spices and NOT salt. Thank you, finally a perfect fajita!! The tamales are spot on as is their burritos. Thank you for efficient service, a pleasant atmosphere, and great overall customer service! See you soon..

Interesting buffet. It’s not that plentiful but I was able to make 10 delicious crunchy tacos just the way I like with lots of cheese. There are areas for improvement. Like the sour cream is nearly impossible to serve with a big ladle.

4th time at El Porto and it’s been amazing, food has been on point, also one of the few places you can get a torta one of my husband’s favorite, by far one of the best authentic Mexican food spots!!!! Love it, our new local go to Mexican spot, highly recommend.

What a cute place! Very clean, Very fresh foods.
Drinks:
We loved the Horchata and margaritas!
Appetizers:
Chips were warm and had a great flavor. Salsa was fresh and had a delightful kick to it.
Dinner:
Shredded beef chimichangas with white cheese sauce (instead of red onion sauce). Husband got the full plate… which turns out to be bigger than he could finish. But the flavor was great, and he’s a chimichanga connoisseur.
As a vegetarian, I look for all the options available on a menu. This restaurant didn’t have a specific vegetarian section, but many items could be made without meat. Unfortunately, they do not discount for “no meat” options.
I had the Nachos Supreme without meat (again… they didnt discount for no meat). But it was a huge plate, and all the ingredients were delicious so worth it. I poured the salsa over to add some spice.
I also tried the mushroom quesadilla, which had great flavor with semi-crispy shell, fresh sauteed mushrooms, and creamy cheese inside.
Bathrooms were very clean! Fun music and soft lighting ambiance. Very friendly staff who were attentive to our drink refills.
Overall, this is a 5 star restaurant and well worth visiting multiple times.

My second time here and food was amazing just like the first time! Also, while having dinner an employee (possibly owner) gave a man that appeared in need of guidance dinner. Love seeing people still showing they care about other people no matter the circumstances! This place will definitely ALWAYS get my service. Thank you for not only serving me but also the community ❤️
