Great Take Out
I don't go to Nuevo Portal to eat, I order in. It's a very basic and the service is mediocre at best. Given that, the food is consistently great and although people describe it as Cuban I think it's actually Dominician given the lack of Picadillo and Ropa Vieja on the menu. Also they sometimes run out of black beans which Cubans would never allow. But, they do have a great Cuban sandwich. I particularly like the Pernil but have never been disappointed with whatever I order. Cubano cafe appeals to the yuppies in the neighborhood (and I use the term with affection) but the better food is at Nuevo Portal.

Really Good Cubano Sandwiches
We only walk over here for lunch to get their very tast Cubano sandwiches. I've also heard that their BLT's are very good and a real deal at $3.00. Seems to be a very popular place with the Latino crowd. Nothing fancy just good food.

delish each dish
El nuevo portal is one of the best spanish restaurants that i have ordered from. aside from the lady who answers the phone who messes up my order alot, its awesome. and the bread and butter is the tastiest thing ive ever tasted in my life.

MmMm Good
The food here is delicious. You get more than your moneys worth. It's small - nothing fancy, but damn tasty.

doesn't disappoint
It's no frills latin food. The best value in the area. The sandwiches are consistently good and the pastellios are a must. The chicken soup is just how abuela Alba used to make it. We're also big fans of the drunken chicken. The ingredients are sometimes less than choice, but for the price this place can't be beat.
