El Porto in Nineveh is always such a great place to eat! The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. I had the Chile Verde on this visit, and it was fantastic-big portion, full of flavor, and the rice and beans on the side were just right. Their queso is also a must-try, so good! My wife usually gets the Pollo Supremo, and it never disappoints. Every time we go, we like to try something new, and honestly, everything we've had so far has been wonderful. Great food, great service-definitely one of our favorite spots!
We were at the Edinburgh mall and ran over here for an early dinner. It was outstanding. Service was top notch and the place was clean. Pastor tacos were just about perfect and wife loved the chicken quesadilla. Portions were big and the prices were good. Top tier salsa and chips as well. What else do you want?

If you are ever in Nineveh and love mexican food you have to stop here. This place is clean and the food is phenomenal.
We had the chicken fajitas. It was so big my husband and I split it. It was absolutely delicious. Down to the chips and salsa. And queso. It was so so good. 8 ordered the mango margarita on the rocks. With top shelf tequila which was Patron. My husband got the regular house margarita. It was lime-ey.. the food and atmosphere was so great. I wish this place was closer to home. Because this would be one of our regular spots. I locked my keys in car. These gentlemen here were so so nice they were so quick to help us. I mean to stop what they were doing to help us was just incredible. I wish I lived out here. Everyone is kind. And so willing to help out when they see someone in need. I think 3-4 people that left the restaurant asked Javier if he needed help. I mean I live in Southport and not many people would ask that if they seen us trying to get into car. Best Mexican restaurant EVER!!! BEST PEOPLE EVER!!! BEST FOOD EVER!!! DEFINITELY A 10 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RESTAURANT... THANK YOU EL POTRO... MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT BY FAR!!!
