Los Portales   

The manager at Los Portales explains that the name is Spanish for "big portals." Well, then, step right through these doors where everything is big. From the large, spacious dining room to the large plates on which authentic Mexican dishes are served (in huge portions, of course), this one is big fun for Mexican-food lovers. Even the drinks are grande: From the 32-ounce draft beers to the 40-ounce Monster Margarita, you'd better come thirsty. The menu offers up a cornucopia of tamales, enchiladas, burritos, fajitas and steaks, as well as a vegetarian section, a kids' menu and seafood specialties. Don't know your chalupas from your sopapillas? The menu has a helpful dictionary to get you through your Mexican feast. A stand-alone restaurant that's easily spotted at its Skytop Pavilion location, Los Portales has big savings at happy hour, with all drinks at half-off prices. Just take it easy on those Monster Margaritas.
