Mexican cuisine in the foothills used to be pretty mediocre, until ""El Portal"" came to Auburn. The place is extremely clean, the service is prompt and efficient, and they serve REAL Mexican food (not some gringo imitation). Those who want less authentic Mexican food should go across the freeway to Maria's Tacos (which is OK if you don't like the spicy stuff!)
We recommend the ""Lengua"" and ""Carnitas"". GET THE THREE ITEM COMBINATION PLATE...its the best value on the menu. Try the ""Sopes""....you can only get better ones in Mexico!!!!!!
