Taqueria Los Portales 1 - Wilmington

We saw the great review and stopped in on Sunday around 6:00 pm. We love authentic Mexican food and this was not it. Not only was it not authentic it was not good. I had the fish tacos with beans and rice there was no seasoning and fish was little pieces. The beans and rice wasn't eatable. House Margarita tasted like fruit punch. My wife had beef tacos with beans and rice she could not finish because it was not good. Atmosphere tables of drunk men. We noticed a guy at the bar that could not hold hisself up he was so drunk and the bartender continued to serve him. We didn't feel comfortable so we decide to leave.

Quick service, the woman taking our order was very kind as well. Tried the chicken taco and carne asada taco and both were good. If you're in the mood for a quick lunch and beer this is the spot.

Los Portales is hands down the best and most authentic mexican cuisine available in town. Walking into any Los Portales feels immediately authentic, and it is clear from the atmosphere that you're in for a treat. Sometimes I like to test my spanish skills and try to order in spanish, and the servers always are very tolerant of my mistakes lol. Definitely stop by here, the 3 taco platter and fajita quesadilla are too good to miss.

Not the first time, not the second time and certainly won't be the last time..... The online ordering system is great if you wanna grab and go some tacos and hang out on a beautiful day at one of the parks here in Wilmington. Don't forget to check out the variety of salsas and accoutrement on the toppings bar. You won't be disappointed. We had a variety of tacos and the shredded beef quesadilla was delightful. The only thing I didn't like was that there was guacamole and sour cream in my order when I asked there not to be but it made it taste good so I can't complain. The tacos got the two thumbs up from the California boy I was with.

The best Mexican food place in Wilmington! And being from Los Angeles myself, that is saying something. Los Portales has real authentic Mexican food selections on their menu! Like dishes that are even hard to find at Mexican restaurants like the lengua taco they have it! My all time favorite dish during a cold winter day is the Carne de Res soup. If I'm super hungry and want a taco, I get the gringa taco. One is enough as it is huge and super filling.
