porta - Acapulco de Juárez

In recent years we have heard how good this place was (they opened July 2015), now we have finally gone there! To be honest, we went there three times in the last two weeks, yes we enjoyed the food so much! For us the location is convienent, it is directly at the Costera in La TORRE De Acapulco building so that you really don't see it street level. It is located above the circle K in LaTorre De Acapulco. The TORRE is located next to the Calenda Hotel. The restaurant service is excellent, we had the same waiter every time and he speaks good English. The only withdrawal is the menu. In Spanish, but they told us that they are currently working on English menus. But in the middle time, the waiter and the boss/owner Edwardo will explain all the elements on the menu in English. In our three visits between us and our friends we have eaten the fabulous beef medallions that are in a delicious mushroom sauce (my favorite), salmon in a delicious dijon sauce, reserve ribs (do not miss the bone tender, sauce on the sweet side), fillet mignon cooked to perfection, a Peruvian dish that corresponds to our pepper steak, but served with delicious Peruvian spices With our meals we had a choice of two, between rice, baked potato, crushed potatoes, French fries or a Peruvian salad. I always get the salad and a strength, all very well. You take credit cards that are very wonderful. Just to give you an idea of prices, the beef medals are 220 peso, how is a full strip of pork ridge ribs, the fillet Mignon was 250 peso (and a good size), the pepper steak dish was 150 peso. Empanadas we have 2 one night and three at the other night and they were 75 peso at Oder. I'm sorry not to remember the price of soup. We found the prices to be fair. We look forward to our next visit! Oh, I almost forgot, they also have another room, it's like a bar like atmosphere and completely separated from the dining room. This bar like rom has a beautiful bar area, two pool table and a beautiful seating area on the window on the Costera, and they also serve food in this room, not sure whether it is the same menu or a seperate menu... I have to ask this question.

Food is very interesting and well served. The staff is friendly and attentive, food is very well prepared and served,interesting flavors. Enjoy it every time we go, salads are great.

For the last couple of years we have heard how good this place was (they opened July 2015), well we finally went there! To be honest we actually have gone there three times in the past two weeks, yes we enjoyed the food that much! For us the location is convienent, it is right on the Costera in La TORRE De Acapulco building, so you really don't see it street level. It is above the Circle K in LaTorre De Acapulco. The TORRE is next door to the Calenda Hotel. The restaurant service is excellent, we have had the same waiter every time and he speaks good English. The only draw back is the menu is only. In Spanish, but they have informed us that they are presently working on English menus. But in the mean time the waiter and the chief/owner Edwardo will explain all items on the menu in English. Within our three visits between us and our friends we have eaten the fabulous beef medallions smothered in a delicious mushroom sauce (my favourite), salmon in a delicious Dijon sauce, spare ribs (fall off the bone tender, sauce on the sweet side), Filet mignon cooked to perfection, a Peruvian dish equivalent to our pepper steak but with delicious Peruvian spices, Cream of Spinach Soup which was enjoyed by all and absolutely fabulous beef empanadas (that have raisins and sliced olives with the amazingly spiced ground beef in an amazing dough, served with chimichiri sauce, another favourite of mine). With our meals we had a choice of two, between rice, baked potato, smashed potatoes, French fries or a Peruvian salad. I always get the salad and a starch, all very good. They take credit cards which is convienently wonderful. Just to give you an idea of prices, the beef medallions are 220 peso, as is a full strip of pork back ribs, the filet mignon was 250 peso (and a good size),the pepper steak dish was 150 peso. Empanadas we got 2 one night and three the other night and they were 75 peso an Oder. Sorry cannot remember the price of the soup. We found the prices to be fair. Looking forward to our next visit! Oh I almost forgot, they also have another room , it is like a bar like atmosphere and completely seperate from the dining room. This bar like rom has a nice bar area, two pool tables and a nice seating area by the window looking out on the Costera, and they also serve food in this room, not sure if it is the same menu or a seperate menu...I need to ask that question.
