Portales Restaurant
Welcome to Portales: A Latin Fiesta in Alexandria
Ah, Portales Restaurant. This spirited establishment at 6148 Franconia Rd in Alexandria, VA, is like a mullet: business in the front with its Latin American fare, and a party in the back with dance floors that beckon you to salsa the night away.
A Restaurant with Rhythm
Imagine, if you will, a place where the walls vibrate with the beats of live music—especially on weekends, where it would feel more like a vibrant fiesta than just any ol’ dinner. It’s an energetic vibe that’ll make even the stiffest of you break out into a Robinson-esque jig (minus the broken hip, I hope!).
Sipping and Savoring
Now, let’s get down to the grub. The steak in the pique macho dish has been lauded as the glistening star—a culinary pièce de résistance that makes your taste buds twirl like a contestant on So You Think You Can Dance. Sure, not everyone shouts about the food being Michelin-star quality, but it’s certainly a fantastic precursor to the dance-off you know you’re about to enter.
Service with a Smile (or a wink)
But hey, take a gamble on the service! Sometimes it’s like winning the lottery—you might hit the jackpot with a professional and courteous server, or sometimes, it can feel like you’re on a loooooong wait for an elevator. Either way, the ample free parking is a plus, so you’ll have the chance to master your cha-cha before hitting the dance floor.
An Affair to Remember
In the grand scheme of things, if you’re looking for a place to indulge in both culinary bites and twinkling lights, Portales is your jam. Get ready to polish off your dancing shoes and prepare for a taste of passion—Latino style. Just remember, it’s not just about the food; it’s about the adventure. And what an adventure it is!
