“ Small Mexican restaurant in Mountain View. Unfortunately it isbin a small strip mall that looks like it is closed. The food Sarah's enchiladas was a smart choice to taste 3 different sauces and meats. Mole poplanopr green and red sauces. Meats - ground beef chicken and pork. Every thing is lightly seasoned. I would have liked more spice and i bet you can ask. They do to go orders. The sign when I came in days thanks for your patronage but we might not make it. Such a sad state for small mom and pop places today. If you are around try them out. ”
“ Food was DELICIOUS and delivered in a timely manner!! Really good Customer service, staff was kind and very attentive! The place was nicely decorated. ”
“ Los Portales is a neighborhood restaurant owned by the same family for 30+ years. The food was amazing. Beautifully executed Mexican dishes, full of flavor. We have loved everything we have eaten there so far. The staff are friendly and attentive. If you are interested in supporting family businesses, this is the place to have a lovely lunch or dinner. ”
“ We ordered the featured items and they came through. The plate was hot and the cheese melt on the beans got me excited. I knew we were in for something tasty. The mole sauce was complexed but not overdone. The chilli rellenos had us fighting for the last bite. Rice was good, nothing to question and service had the mom and pop feel. Wife had a we're in Mexico feel and we really liked the experience. Only thing was location isn't close to where we go. 100% will be back. Great job! ”
“ I love a genuine Mexican food spot and it's even better when it's family owned. They have their hearts in their work and you can taste the difference ”
“ Hands down the best spot in the area! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. On top of that, the service is outstanding--Sal and the entire team are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. ”
“ One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the San Jose area. I've been coming here for authentic Mexican food for over 25 years! I'm a fan of their enchiladas and carne asada burritos. ”
“ Earlier this year, our group had assorted take out from Los Portales. They were generous and the make your own tacos were delicious with vegetables, onions, peppers, rice, beans, sour cream, salsa, shrimp and meat. My son and I came by and had Sal's Special and a combination plate. The portions were generous. We met Sara and she recommended her favorite 3 enchiladas comfort meal which is on the menu. Super nice service. Free chips and salsa, of course. Food was very authentic. It tasted like food I have had in Mexico. We don't like super spicy but we needed a little more heat. I added salsa over my combination plate. We asked for Tapatio for Max's. They gave us some spicier salsa with garlic, delish! Refilled sodas! Comfy colorful booths, a few customers on the way out as we came in and in as we came out. This would be a great place for a group luncheon or dinner. Prices are up everywhere. Unfortunately, we have a taqueria right around the corner from us that's more convenient. ”
