Los Portales Mexican Restaurant — neighborhood mexican in Rogers Park. The kitchen takes tradition seriously. BYOB. "Fresh, creamy, beautiful mouthfeel - not the watery, ice laden, powdered mix that you find at other places" — James Ng

Love the food. Love the portions. Love the people. I can’t recommend this place enough for some great local Mexican food. I ordered take out this time but I’ve dined-in in the past and it was great then too.

“I wish I could recommend more than the pastor tacos, but I can’t because I haven’t had anything...”
I wish I could recommend more than the pastor tacos, but I can’t because I haven’t had anything else, because the pastor tacos are so damn good. The prices are ever so slightly higher than the average Rogers Park taqueria, but not enough to dissuade. Easy, fast, reliable, delicious.

“10/10 recommend hands down!”
10/10 recommend hands down!! I have tried many Mexican Restaurants, but let me say this is by far THE BEST AUTHENTIC one! Everything is delicious from the drinks to the food to the staff! It was so delicious I ate here 2 days in a row. I was even blown away that they had an entire vegetarian menu!
