Taqueria Los Portales 2 - Wilmington

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. The beef cheek, or cachete, was amazing. The barbacoa was fantastic. Everyone was friendly, probably because they know the food they're serving is excellent. Don't waste any more time deciding where to go for Mexican food - just go here. The dishes were so delicious that I didn't even have time to take pictures before they disappeared from my plate.

My nephew's dish looked like it was poorly made, with just one flour tortilla topped with melted cheese, a small amount of meat, and what appeared to be canned pineapples, all for $8-9. My dish was decent, but the worst part was when I realized that the waiter had served me microwaved corn tortillas. I could tell because I have tried this at home and they have a distinct smell and texture. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant at all. I suggest looking elsewhere if you are craving good Mexican food as this is not the place to find it.

I am so thankful we discovered this fantastic restaurant. It was the best meal I've had in a long time! The atmosphere is cozy and family-friendly. Highly recommend!

I had the Lengua taco (2) my wife had regular beef tacos with rice and beans. The restaurant was not very busy, but the wait for my wife and I was very long. We both got sick after eating our tacos. As well, the food was very bland. We won't visitthis restaurant again. Cannot recommend it to others.

Absolutely delicious! Authentic Mexican food. If you live in Wilmington and don't try this place, you are missing out. I had the burrito and the meat was seasoned perfectly. They have a little salsa bar where you can choose anything from mild to mouthmelting heat. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended.
