Reviews for El Porton Mexican Restaurant in Germantown, TN
Came here after work with a small group of co-workers for the first time for lunch. The server was one of the worst we had ever... had. He was extremely rude and disrespectful, rushed our meal the entire time, and essentially refused to make any adjustmentsto people?s meal requests. He stood over our shoulders waiting for us to pay, minutes after our food had just been brought out.Food was meh, nothing special - 5/10. I never write reviews, but this service was trash. Don?t waste your time coming here. Willnot be returning ever again. Read more
I'm all about supporting small business but they was slow and still the food quality and cleanliness was poor. I ordered the... steak fajitas and am disappointed with the quality, especially considering the price. My husband ordered the enchiladas andcouldn't eat it. The foundation drinks where fresh and the chips and salsa was good. The waiter was friendly and done well,otherwise not impressed. Read more
If I could give a zero star review of this restaurant I would in a heartbeat. My father just ordered two items -- La Poblana... with no meat and order #5 -- two cheese enchiladas with double rice. When my dad got home after 25 minutes of drive time to therestaurant, we ended up with shrimp (farm-raised crud, not even wild-caught) and chicken fajitas. My parents are vegetarians sothis was just wrong. My dad called the restaurant and took the wrong order back to get a refund. When he got there, he asked themanager to replace the meal with the correct one due to the error and trouble. The manager got indignant and said "don'tdisrespect me" even though my dad was being perfectly nice. We will *never* eat at El Porton in Collierville again. And neitherwith any of our family, friends or followers. Nice move, El Porton. Read more
One might think the fact it?s tucked away in a cove near all the big $ stores and the epitome of the ?Germantown? elite it would... be a nice, clean establishment with professional staff. One would be wrong. Employees were sitting at the entrance on theirphones watching tablets in a booth barely looking up. A gentleman pointed towards the bar for a pickup order and it was emptyexcept for the waitress watching something on her device so I had to go back and ask again. He reluctantly got up to go and tellsomeone else that I was there. While I was waiting the overwhelming smell of urine was so bad I thought about leaving. When thealcohol of the bar doesn?t kill the smell from the nearby restrooms you really should think about your cleaning crew or lackthere of. Not a repeat customer. Read more
The food is always excellent. I waitress was very helpful and attentive. It was a perfect way to end the work week.
Food is consistently good, nothing spectacular but tasty. Big portions on all meals. Take out service is very fast and always... correct. Read more
Doesn?t feel real authentic when you look at the menu, but the food was tasty enough. Weird that the ?specialties? don?t come... with rice and beans, you have to order those separately. They do participate in Delta Dining-for-miles so that?s a plus! Read more
Good food, nothing fancy or elaborate. A place to have a casual meal and beverage with friends.
