" This Mexican restaurant truly lives up to its reputation! The tacos were bursting with authentic flavors that took me back to my travels in Mexico. The staff were incredibly welcoming and checked up on us regularly. Additionally, the restaurant was spotless, which I appreciate as a diner. The only downside was that the chipped salsa could use some spice, but this didn't detract too much from the overall enjoyment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Portales is a must-visit! The food is authentic and made with fresh ingredients. I ordered the veggie fajitas, which were loaded with veggies and came with a side of rice and beans. I was strongly impressed by the presentation as well. However, I felt the rice could use seasoning. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great little spot! The atmosphere in Los Portales felt vibrant and welcoming. I ordered the molcajete, which was unique and delicious! Though the service was a little slow due to a busy evening, the staff was always friendly. I will be returning for the autheniticity and deliciousness! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was impressed with my visit to Los Portales. The interior has a lovely décor that gives a bit of a festive feeling. I ordered the burrito de carnitas, which was authentic—packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. The service was friendly, but it did take a bit for our food to arrive. Overall a delightful spot I would return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great place for Mexican cuisine! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the staff. The decor was colorful and added to a festive vibe. I had the torta and was impressed by the portion size and content. Just a note, I found the salsa to be a little too mild for my taste, so I added some hot sauce from the table. I'll return for sure for more authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Los Portales for the first time last week, and it was quite an experience. The service was attentive, but the food, while tasty, unfortunately lacked the spice and authenticity I was hoping for. I expected a little more from the salsa as well. But the ambiance was lovely, and it has potential for a revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Portales exceeded my expectations! The staff were incredibly warm and the food was simply delicious. I ordered the tacos al pastor, which were perfectly seasoned and came with fresh cilantro and onions. The margaritas were fantastic as well. I liked how they offered a variety of options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Definitely a place I will be recommending to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)
