I spent 15 years there thinking good Mexican food was just one of the things you had to give up when you moved to NY. Then I moved to Beacon, and bemoaned the restaurants I left behind in NYC. However, Los Portales (almost) made up for that (I still regret not being able to go to Vegetarian Dim Sum whenever I want). I've tried other Mexican restaurants in Newburgh, and they've been good, but Los Portales is the best. I've eaten there consistently for 11 years now, and the food has always been delicious. Plus, it's very clean, and the waitstaff is always nice. One night my friends and I placed a takeout order, and when I went to pick it up, they'd given us extra food because they were out of something we'd ordered. They're great. Go give them your business!

The chips are made in house and were 10 out of 10! We all shared chicken nachos to start which were really yummy and had lots of toppings. I got a strawberry agua Fresca which was so delicious and huge! They were very accommodating, my dad asked for fajitas, which are not on the menu and they were able to make that for him. They are BYOB with no corkage fee! I had the carnitas quesadillas which was not on the menu but I loved. They were so flavorful and filling. Two people got the carne asada tacos and they both really enjoyed as well. I look forward to coming back!

Ordered the al pastor tacos which were pretty large portions, but meat itself was not really flavorful at all and there's a MASSIVE amount of cilantro and onions dumped on top of it to the point that you really don't taste anything but that.

The interior has about eight to ten tables and it can feel a little cramped but it's decorated very carefully and has a nice old school vibe from a diner from the early 50s but serving down-home authentic Mexican food. Can't quite pinpoint what region they are serving but I can't tell you that it's worth the stop. Stopped in at lunch and there wasn't much of a crowd so the food came out within 10 minutes I had the tacos al pastor, enchilada platter and tacos de alambre (not quite sure how to describe the last one but it was a mixed grill of all the meats covered in cheese and the soft tacos on the side) Service was very quick and polite and I would recommend you brush up on your Spanish just a bit all in all very good experience I'm looking forward to coming back on the weekends to check out their tamales.

That said, the food was a little underwhelming overall, and like many other reviews mention, the tacos were surprisingly small for the price. Definitely worth checking out during happy hour when the pricing feels much more reasonable, but harder to justify at full price for the portion sizes.
