My Tummy Talks About: Cafe el Portal

Any place that gives me a margarita in a plastic cup to drink outside while I'm waiting for my table is classy and A-okay in my book. I didn't eat too much here-- 2 margaritas, some guacamole and also some black bean soup. It was all good, but a bit pricy in my opinion-- but hey, it was the location, I'm sure.

Here's the thing: it's really cozy and comfortable inside. It's pretty small, and everyone else (there were five of us) really liked their food so I'd definitely like to go back again to check out some of their other food.....

Cafe el Portal is at 174 Elizabeth Street between Spring and Kenmare in Nolita.
