What User likes about Los Portales:
Having lived in this area for many years, this was my first time dining at this establishment, and I must say that it is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever tried. My waitress, Julie, was pleasant and friendly. My order arrived quickly and the food was amazing. I will definitely be returning this weekend to try the homemade tortillas. I would give this restaurant millions of stars. View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about Los Portales:
I ordered a chicken taco salad and was very disappointed. It had a strange taste that didn't resemble chicken or any familiar flavors. After a few bites, I couldn't finish it. I felt like I wasted my money and won't be coming back to this restaurant. View all feedback.
