Had their nachos for my first ever visit. BEST NACHOS, HANDS DOWN. They have some sorta black magic where even the chips that are SOAKED are still crunchy! Idk how they do it. Was delicious though.

I believe this is a newer location. The food was as great as I've grown to know from Los Portales Taco Shop. The service was really good & facility was clean. Thank you :)

The workers were polite and friendly. If you use manners and treat them like humans and not your personal servants, they go above and beyond to make sure your order is prepared in a quality way.
