"Luis Estavillo and Elva Medina, the owners of Los Portales, came to Huatulco from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua in 1987, and brought with them their traditional menudo de panza de res con maíz pozolero, tripe with a large-grain variety of corn served in a pungent broth made from dried red chiles. The restaurant sits in the heart of La Crucecita, just in front of the main park, and offers a beautiful view to match the menu mixed with traditional regional and unique dishes. Tacos al pastor star alongside a pizza al pastor, or alambre — which usually consists of grilled beef topped with chopped bacon, bell peppers, onions, and melted cheese, but the menu offers a variety of them, including a vegetarian one, to accompany a mezcal served in a traditional clay jug.
