    Had an absolutely amazing experience at Porfirio!!! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. My only one negative is that I wish it had more vegetarian options !!! Really wanted to try their vegetarian chili relleno but they had already ran out. But everything else was delish !! My husband loved his corn soup and i loved my mole chicken enchiladas. Our favorite appetizer was their fried cheese !! Do not skip that !! And their Churros were absolutely amazing and we had four sauces to dip them in. The presentation was impeccable and their servers were amazing. They even had live entertainment which was fun as well !! Would I go back??? ABSOLUTELY YES!!!
