Los Portales Mexican Food

We found this gem on a Monday late afternoon before a GCU basketball game, so there were not many people there when we arrived. The parking lot is large and well lit. The restaurant is quite a large space with plenty of room for dancing and a band which they have on the weekends. They also offer outdoor seating. Our server was friendly and brought us the best margaritas. Two of us ordered the fajitas and they were the best I have had! Massive shrimp cooked perfectly- not overcooked like some often do- with loads of onions and peppers. Everything was thinly sliced and so tasty. It was nearly impossible to finish this dish. It could have, and should have been, shared. But instead I took leftovers home. This is a big dish for the price, and one I want to go back for.Either the owner or a manager came by to see how we were doing and then he sent over two pieces of cheesecake. I really don't like cheesecake, but this was ridiculously good- not too sweet at all. So I finished that too! There is so much on their menu that I have to go back to try more.

This place is divey in the most trendy and affectionate way! Reminiscent of Puerto Peñasco's welcoming vibe allThat is missing is the beach! Live music and the rellenos I had were so tasty! The beans delish! Will certainly come back, the grilled chicken my husband had was so flavorful. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Recommend to spend a lazy Saturday enjoying great food and entertainment.

I'm very picky when it comes to Steaks and this place had one of the best ribeye and shrimp I've had in a while. Staff was very courteous

The food was delicious and the service was great, the owner came to our table multiple times to ask if we liked the food, definitely would recomend

Excellent food great music great service outstanding feels like your in Mexico we had a great experience

We are from California in town for my Graduation at Grand Canyon University and wanted to get som good authentic Mexican food. You can tell when places try too hard and screw up Mexican food by overloading it with cheese or messing up beans and rice and this place did it right. The food was delicious. The carne asada tasted just right and the plates were loaded with sides. You can tell that this is a family run restaurant and they know how to treat their customers. Looks like on weekends they have a dance floor as well. Somos de California en estavamos in Phoenix para mi graduación en la Universidad de Grand Canyon y queríamos obtener una buena comida mexicana auténtica. Puedes saber cuándo los lugares se esfuerzan demasiado y arruinan la comida mexicana sobrecargándola con queso o desarmando frijoles y arroz, y este lugar lo hizo bien. La comida era deliciosa. La carne asada sabía a la perfección y los platos estaban cargados de lados. Se puede decir que este es un restaurante familiar y que saben cómo tratar a sus clientes. Parece que los fines de semana también tienen una pista de baile.

Food was good. Ordered through Grubhub. A little like filebertos....but not very authentic Mexican. But when you want something after 11pm on Thursday night they deliver. Thank you. Beans are delicious!
