" I just had the most delightful dining experience at Los Portales Taqueria. The moment I walked in, I felt the vibrant atmosphere that truly embodies Mexican culture. I ordered the al pastor tacos and they were phenomenal! The meat was tender and flavorful, complemented by their extensive salsa bar that allowed me to customize my meal. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure our drinks were always filled and checking on us throughout our meal. I will definitely make this place a regular stop during my visits to Wilmington! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Portales Taqueria is like stepping into a beautiful Mexican restaurant. The décor is vibrant, and the atmosphere is super inviting. The tacos are by far the best I've had; they're a little smaller, but the flavor is intense. I especially loved their salsa bar, which makes every bite unique! The only thing I’d change is the seating; I prefer more traditional chairs to the high-top tables. Nonetheless, this will definitely not be my last visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a lovely meal at Los Portales. The atmosphere is lively and bright, and the staff was so welcoming! I ordered their guacamole and chips to start, which was fresh and creamy. For my main, I had the fish tacos which were out of this world! The only downside was I'll never be able to have fish tacos anywhere else again after tasting these. I can't wait to come back with friends and explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to Los Portales for years. It hasn't changed much, and I love that about it! There's something comforting about the familiar atmosphere and consistent quality of the food. The taco specials are fantastic, especially when they have lengua on the menu. Just be mindful that during lunch hours, it can get very busy which is a testament to its popularity. I’ve had both good and not-so-good experiences with service depending on how busy they are, but the food always wins me over. " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Portales Taqueria has quickly become one of my favorite places in town! I love the authenticity of the Mexican cuisine here. Each dish I've tried has been bursting with flavor. On my last visit, I had the shrimp tacos and they were outstanding! The only downside was the seating arrangement inside - I prefer regular tables over bar height. Still, the quality of food makes up for that. Highly recommend trying their horchata; it’s delicious and refreshing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Los Portales for the first time last week and it was an adventure! The eclectic décor took me straight to Mexico. I ordered the chorizo tacos, and they did not disappoint. The flavors were robust and authentic. The staff was incredibly friendly, even recommending their favorite items from the menu. However, I could see the staff getting overwhelmed during busy times, which might lead to some delays. Nonetheless, I plan to return and try everything on the menu. What a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Portales is my latest culinary discovery! A fantastic place for taco lovers like me, with an incredible variety to choose from. I particularly enjoyed their al pastor tacos! The balance of flavors was phenomenal. The atmosphere is bustling and lively, with a fun energy; it’s perfect for a night out. Although the wait was a bit long, the food made it worthwhile. Can't wait for my next taco feast here! " (*Curated Review*)
