Awesome bloody Mary's. Been coming here for over a year and each time the food is just as good as the last. Watch out though, everything is spicy.

Recently dined at Los Portales and had a fantastic experience! Their happy hour menu is impressive, offering a great variety of delicious options at excellent prices. The complimentary chips and salsa were a perfect start, and I loved how fresh and flavorful they were. The service was quick, andour food arrived in no time, with generous portions that left me fully satisfied. Overall, a great spot for both casual dining and happy hour. Highly recommend!

Went here for the first time and would consider it a hidden gem in Littleton. The restaurant is family run and when we asked questions about the menu we learned that their menu reflects their region in Mexico while still providing the classic options. The Relleno Shrimp were really on point with crispy bacon wrapped around a large shrimp with chile pepper and cheese inside. The short ribs were also very good and tender. Happy hour is from 3:00 to 6:00 where they have house margaritas for 5.99.

On a chilly (-2F) Saturday evening in January around 4:45 PM, we arrived, and seating was prompt due to the limited early crowd. The service was excellent, and the prices were just as expected. We placed orders for a bean & cheese burrito and chicken tacos. To put it simply, both dishes were absolutely incredible. The chicken tacos, in particular, stood out as some of the best I've ever had. The bean & cheese burrito was equally amazing. Moses, though not pictured this time, wholeheartedly recommends Los Portales a hundred times over.

We went to Los Portales for brunch and it was excellent. From the friendly service to the amazing food and mimosas, everything was wonderful. Starting off with the home made chips which were hot and crispy and the salsa that had just the right kick to it. I had the Chilaquiles Verde and my husband had the Mexican hamburger which we would both order again. We will definitely be going back and we would highly recommend this restaurant.

Salsa! We had the opportunity to check this place out and so glad we did! It was a beautiful day, and there is a community eating area outside, Jose was gracious enough to serve our lunch under the Colorado sunshine. The complimentary chips and salsa are excellent. We had the lunch taco special which hit the mark. Two tacos, and small serving of beans and rice. Perfect. The food was flavorful, and my daughter thought the beans and rice were some of the best she had. Highly recommend.

This place is a hidden gem. Tucked away in a small shopping center, you would never expect the quality food and wonderful customer service. It is almost always the same man and woman who serve us. Not sure if they are the owners, but they are warm and friendly and provide exceptional service and clearly desire to make their customers feel welcomed and well cared for. The food is delicious (I'm a huge fan of the breakfast burrito.), and reasonably priced. A great spot for a quick business lunch or family night out!

We should have tried this place earlier! The staff was so nice, they truly cared about us and our experience. They had a great drink happy hour on Friday night. The food totally exceeded our expectations. The shrimp and crab burrito had a white sauce that was so amazing. We will be back!
