Welcome to Los Portales Mexican Restaurant, a culinary gem in Littleton, Colorado, where authentic Mexican flavors and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere await you. Founded in April 2006 by José and Claudia Ursua, Los Portales is more than just a restaurant; it’s the realization of a shared dream built on love, passion, and a deep appreciation for Mexican cuisine.
A Family Dream Come True: The Story of Los Portales
José and Claudia’s story is one of connection and shared ambition. Their journey began over 24 years ago when they met while working at another Mexican restaurant. Their shared experiences and love for Mexican food sparked a romance, and soon after, they married. Together, they nurtured a dream of owning their own business, a place where they could share their heritage and culinary talents with the community. This dream blossomed into Los Portales Mexican Restaurant, a testament to their hard work and dedication.
