If you like to wait for ever and ever, this is the place for you! But, the nachos are worth it.

Good food, very good margaritas , and staff is very friendly . Thought it was pretty cool they make fresh guac right at your table

Good food, but it almost never fails I get full off the queso , chips , and salsa (it has a kick for those with low tolerance) before I can order..

Grande blended strawberry margaritas are to die for! Happy hour is cheap and amazing, but the margaritas are good any day, any time!

Best chain Mexican around, but for authentic Mexican goodness, try Tampico in Laurel. Better than Los Portales .

Our server was very good about explaining the vegetarian options for me, and patient with all my questions.

I could have gotten to the border in less time than it took for the food to come. very friendly staff though.

Laura Chambers

Save your $$ as I'm sure there must be better Mexican restaurants nearby. Service was so-so and the food is predictable chain quality. I make better refrained beans.
