Los Portales Grill

The music was excessively loud and filled with profanity, making it unsuitable for children. My food order was incorrect, and when I asked the waiter for assistance, he mentioned he didn't speak English, which explains the mix-up. This was my third visit, and I truly wanted to enjoy it, but three strikes and I'm out. Next time, I’ll choose a different restaurant for Mexican food.

This has been our favorite spot in the city for quite some time now. Whenever we're in the mood for a drink and a snack or a high-quality full meal, we always come here. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the service is exceptional – we always feel valued, almost like family. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic; we can either enjoy the lively music or find a quiet spot to chat. Don't overlook this gem—we find ourselves coming back multiple times a week whenever we can!

During my last visit, I wasn’t satisfied, but since the restaurant had just opened, I decided to give them another chance. Unfortunately, this time was just as disappointing. My $55 plate didn’t meet my expectations at all. The fish was undercooked and tasted bland, while the meat—specifically the arrachera and ribs—was good. However, the drinks were a major letdown. I ordered a cantarito that was supposed to contain tequila, but it was nonalcoholic. I switched to a lit drink, which also fell flat. I barely tasted the kalsirup (the mixed drink syrup), and it wasn’t enjoyable. Maybe next time I’ll just stick to beer or soda to play it safe. I ended up paying $95 for some decent rice and a dish with queso fresco, which wasn’t worth it.

We had ceviche and I had birria tacos. that was delicious. Unfortunately, all courts came to random times and with considerable time in between. it was 6-7pm and the lights were bright and the music was quite loud. if we had better services, I would have given him a higher review.

Service was mediocre. If you ask for a water it’s bottled and you get charged $2.50 (they don’t inform you of that ahead of time). Also, chips and salsa are not complimentary. Menu looked promising, but overall the food was very bland. The refried beans were very watery. Almost $70 for two people. Will likely not be back.
