Welcome to El Porton Mexican Restaurant!
| After promptly being seated the wait staff (almost entirely Hispanic) serves a wonderfully fresh and spicy version of salsa. The cheese dip is a white version and very thick ... it actually sticks to the tortilla corn chips! The real surprise is that the Guacamole dip tastes fresh ... and it tastes like avocado. The menu is expansive and descriptive, and children's menus are also available. Lunch specials are reasonably priced and served quickly. The entrée menu explains what will be on the plate when it arrives (you do not have to speak Spanish to understand the menu). It offers a selection of seafood, chicken, steak, and vegetarian dinners. You'll be lost in the variety, but it won't really matter - all of our food is great! |
The full bar in the restaurant gives a wide choice of beverages, both adult and nonalcoholic (including cranberry and apple juice). Many people enjoy the wide selection of Mexican cerveza (beer) and margaritas. The restaurant will prepare dinners and orders for pickup. Call ahead and make your order from the menu on the following pages. All credit cards are accepted. |
Note: El Porton is a large arched wooden entry door to an old colonial hacienda.
The door is open to welcome all who come.
Our Service, Food and Venue
If you are looking for "REAL MEXICAN" food and not the type that obviously comes from "gringos loose in the kitchen" then you need to fiesta at El Porton Mexican Restaurant in West Little Rock. Of course, you will have a choice of other Mexican restaurants in the area, but none will match the menu, price and overall dining experience. The most important thing is that the food is just darned good at El Porton.
The first thing you'll notice when arriving at the restaurant is the outside patio dining area. It is in front of the restaurant and looks to be an excellent place to enjoy a meal with a friend. What really grabs your attention is the scent of the meals served on the patio. It entices the senses before you are even seated. The aroma of fresh sizzling fajitas being served often causes waiting patrons to sneak a peek and wonder if it would be rude to ask, "What is being served at THAT table?" If the weather is pretty, lunch could temptingly last all day. The seating is limited in the patio area, so it is a real treat to get a table there on a nice day.
