This place is a classic! The same small menu since at least 30 years, but great quality and flavor. A required stop every time I come back to Cali.

One of the most authentic restaurants in Cali. El Porton features typical Colombian dishes, and boasts inexpensive entrees brimming with flavor. This is where the locals go for good home cooking like abuelita made!Please note: this restaurant is cash only.

Food here is amazing!!! I'm originally from Cali, and every time I visit the city, I stop at El Portón, not only once or twice, but three or four times. So yummy

Without doubt the best puerquitas in town. This is an unpretentious restaurant that knows what does it mean to have an excellent plate and stick to it. If you happen to be on a puerquita/marranita tour, this place is a must.
