Los Portales

Tasty authentic Mexican food, great prices, generous margaritas. The staff and owner were friendly and welcoming. Good options for the kids too.

Ok– This place was simply just as amazing as it gets. We come in 9 minutes before they close bc we just left the Sunset Kiaking Tour with Broken Paddle– *also amazing!*- And they happily served us with a smile. We had already been full from the day but HAD to try this restaurant before we left town– Oh my goodness am I glad we did! The CHIPS & SALSA were the best we’ve ever had. Real yellow corn chips, homemade authentic salsa with just the right amount of kick. And then we got our meals. I make the best enchiladas & my husband was playing with thin ice when he looked up after one bite of his Enchiladas del norte & said «These might be the best Enchilada’s I’ve ever had.» I don’t blame him. After one bite I had to agree! SO I gave them (in my book) the final test of a great Mexican restaurant– Their Strawberry Margaritas. Ok. Here it comes. Oh, they use real whip cream, and there’s a cherry on top — and it comes in a fun fluted glass and BAM! YES! They had GREAT drinks too! But it didn’t stop there. Even though we were stuffed with enchiladas & chips & salsa we wanted to order something else because they were so nice to let us dine as the only guests an hour after they close. So we ordered the Fried Ice Cream. Oh my word. That did it. The bowl the ice cream came in? Transported me to my own world. I literally couldn’t speak. My husband asked if we could take more bowls to go. I gave him the latina «eye». He laughed. That dessert was so amazing I literally went into dessert hangover. So we ended our time at Turning Waters B&B in Wabasha at the best Mexican Restaurant we’ve ever eaten at. Not a bad way to go out. :)

We stopped for dinner after reading the reviews on Unilocal.We were not disappointed! The food was authentic, very flavorful, and very freshly prepared! Try the Guacamole Mexicano! It is the best!

Authentic Mexican food and great prices! Very friendly owners — they will welcome you back when you return. I have eaten there many times since Los Portales opened last winter. Both take-​out or dine-​in, I always have a delicious, generous meal. The housemade salsa is the best!

Very friendly staff and great food at very fair prices. Guacamole and queso were the stars.

We ate there today before visiting The National Eagle Center. The restaurant is quaint and clean. The staff is unpretentious and friendly. And best of all, the food was authentic Mexican fare, and tasted good! Hats off to this place…

Good spot for a meal. Guacamole is great!

Passing through town and saw a grand opening sign for this restaurant. Decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did! The service was excellent, the beers were ice cold, and the food was delicious! If you are in town and looking for great Mexican fare, look no further. Stop in and get some fantastic food!
