The food was 👌🏻 we all finished our plates and didn’t have to eat again for the rest of the day! Sopapillas we’re maybe the best I’ve ever had and the chile relleno batter was perfect. I’d skip the margaritas, but everything else was fantastic.
I'm always on the hunt for local New Mexican restaurants, and I've found another 👍
Our first visit and we were sat quickly and our food came out even quicker, which is a plus when your starving. I was impressed with the red chile since it had a bite, and it was flavorful as well. My India taco hit
A beauty of a gem. Great food, wonderful staff, nice patio and interior. We will most certainly be back. The Blanco queso was delicious. Their green chile was so on. Everything was fresh and just what we needed.
Food that satisfied body and spirit. I came in not knowing what to expect and am now a fan . This will be my stop for food , whenever visiting New Mexico. Menudo , green chili and tortillas 🤤🔥
Tasty traditional NM dishes specializing in breakfast and lunch. Friendly service and good coffee.
The burrito was enormous although not too much once my friend got started on it. I had the breakfast enchilada from the light menu and I was stuffed half way through. Bottom line you won’t leave hungr
My wife & I like trying new restaurants and Monica's El Portal is one of them. The food was delicious, the green Chile gravy on my chicken fried steak was off the wall. Come to find out that Monica has been making her food homemade for 45 years. Well like they say "if it ain't broken don't fix it".
Whenever we travel through Albuquerque, we plan a meal there. This trip through we decided to try Monica's. We were traveling with our dog, so the covered outdoor patio was the deciding factor for us. Everything was delicious and our server was personable and attentive. Definitely on our list of pla
Food was good, but the spice level in red and green sauces was through the roof! Some of our group wisely got sauce "on the side" which was a good idea. If they have to post a warning that there are no refunds for food being too spicy, maybe they should reconsider the level of heat.
A great local restaurant. We went during prime lunch time and waited about 10 min for a table for 4. The food is fresh and fast. There is a variety of beers and margaritas in addition to soda. Try the Indian Taco as it was our favorite dish. The salsa are HOT!
The food was delicious! The carne adovada plate was incredible and the sopapillas were fresh and warm. My son in law ordered the chili rellenos and he said they were perfect. The margarita wasn’t great but everything else was wonderful.
We enjoyed an authentic New Mexican breakfast at Monica's El Portal Restaurant near Old Town in Albuquerque. We ordered the delicious huevos rancheros, breakfast burger, breakfast burrito, and breakfast stuffes sopapilla. The home made tortillas was a nice touch. We finished our meal with fresh sopa
My aunt was not kidding me about how good the food is. I had the Indian taco with red chile. It was fantastic!!! My mom had the combination plate with the tamale. I had one bite of the tamale and had to order a dozen. Delicious!!!
Food and service were great.
Monica's food and waitstaff are always great. The lobby is small and hostess takes a while to sit waiting customers. That means a tight space for people waiting to be seated.
Eat here rather than places in Old Town as lunch is always great. New Mexico cuisine, so spiced and tasty. Charming atmosphere, quick service.
What a charming and wonderful dining experience. I highly encourage eating breakfast here. This was our first time to New Mexico and they taught us the practice of putting honey onto warm, fresh tortilla chips as the appetizer. And that right there described my visit. Warm, fresh, safe, clean, and e
