Mexican restaurant · San Leandro

"In a San Leandro shopping center, you’ll find El Portal, where tamales are served wet, at the table, swimming in red sauce with cheese melted into it. Medium in size, the pork and chicken tamales come with a decent masa-to-filling ratio. Approximate the in-restaurant experience by warming El Pato enchilada sauce stirred with melty cheese to cover your tamales." - Annelies Zijderveld, Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
