" I had an average meal with below-average service. The fajitas didn’t have much flavor, and my server seemed disinterested in providing good service. The restaurant is nicely decorated, which adds to the experience, but overall it didn’t impress me. I may consider trying it again, but it will be a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Los Portales last Saturday, and I must say it was delightful! The ambience was warm and welcoming, perfect for a date night. The chicken enchiladas were delicious, and they paired perfectly with the house-made salsa, which had just the right kick. Our server was attentive and friendly, making the experience all the more enjoyable. Prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food. Definitely returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Portales has a wonderful atmosphere, especially at night when the lights dim and the music picks up. The guacamole is the best I've ever had, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I ordered the shrimp burrito, which was huge and packed with flavor. If you want authentic Mexican cuisine done right, head here! " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant feels homey, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Though I found the salsa a bit too spicy for my liking, the rest of the meal was really good. I loved my veggie fajitas, which came in a generous portion. I’ll be back for sure, but I’ll make sure to ask for mild salsa next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to spot for authentic Mexican food! The flavors are spot on, and when I had the carne asada, it reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. The staff is incredibly friendly. I love how they make me feel right at home. Although the place gets busy, they manage to maintain quality service. Just be aware that the portions are substantial, so come hungry! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was fine, but that’s where the positives ended for me. The service felt lacking; waiting for my order took far too long. I ordered the enchiladas, which were lackluster and bland. I would not recommend this place based on my experience. Perhaps it was an off day, but it was certainly not the authentic experience I was expecting. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, look no further! From the moment you enter, the ambiance feels inviting, with vibrant colors and decorations. I had the tamales, and they were fantastic; so flavorful and well portioned. The staff is attentive and friendly, making you feel like part of the family. I'll definitely continue to return here for my Mexican food cravings. " (*Curated Review*)
