About this business
Editorial fromIf you're looking for a combination of your favorite south-of-the-border dishes, you're likely to find it on one of the plates unimaginatively named special lunch no. 1, special lunch no. 2, etc. Vegetarians can find half-a-dozen…

Allergy Sufferers Beware! – The food was ok however, I mentined to the waiter I have a sea food allergy. Please make sure they do not cook my food near ANY SHELL FISH ITEMS. To my surprise as soon as I finished eating my food, I went to the ladies room, I noticed my face had broken out with red bumps. I knew right away I had an alergic reaction to shell fish. I talked to the manager about my situation and all he said was, " there is nothing I can do. If you go to the hospital I can take care of it , but I have no way of know... read more
food is good, if they take your order right... – a simple chimichanga with plain meat doesn't exist, has to be strip steak only. Everything else is premixed. But when u say "i just want a chimichanga, with plainn meat (rattle through none premix argument), and just refried beans and cheese sauce and sour cream" would be nice to get it. Been eating here off and on for 4 years, and dred the group choice. Think my second visit i actually had my order right... Not a restaurant for picky eaters or finicky children.
Nachos Drowning in the Pool of Cheese, Call the Life Guard! – I remember when this restaurant used to be one of the best in Roswell. I've recently visited El Porton for lunch, the salsa was red and had no taste, it was spicy and lots of tomato... we ordered a Fajita Nachos, when the Nachos came it was a very small portion on a large plate, it was drowning in a pool of thinned-out melted cheese... we counted 6 small stripes of steak, one table spoon of sour cream, one table spoon of beans and lots of lettuce and hardly any ch... read more
Excellent place to Go for Great food and Friendly Faces - Thanks El Porton and good work – 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 sa... read more
Don't believe the fake reviews – 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.
Never Again – My wife and I recently had dinner here. After we tasted the refried beans we immediately knew that they were bad. We told the waitress and she said that other customers had complained also. She smelled them and said that they smelled like bleach. I asked to see the manager but he never came to our table.
Better than average Mexican – I tried El Porton for the first time last night, and was pleasantly surprised by their expansive menu. They offer a variety of specialty dishes that aren't typically found at run-of-the-mill "number 12 combo" Mexican restaurants. I had the shrimp chimichanga, and while it was a tiny bit greasy, the flavor was good and it was refreshing to be able to order something I'd never seen on a menu elsewhere. Overall, it was good. Not the very best I've had in Atlanta, perhaps, but tasty enough that I'd ... read more
Fresh, boldly flavored Tex-Mex served in a fun and casual suburban atmosphere. – 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 ingre... read more
Cheap, fast and reliable – Where else can you go in order, eat and pay in under 20 minutes for 6 bucks with tip? This place has been alive and kicking for years for a reason. Roswell and Alpharetta working class make this restaurant what it is during the day: A cheap alternative to fast food. Most lunch items are under 6 bucks and come with free chips and salsa (it will arrive at the table when you do). The service is ok and varies on who you get and how much english they speak. The food is a lot better then the price sugges... read more
