Something about North Las Vegas makes me crave pan dulce... Luckily, a quick Yelp search pointed me in the direction of Los Portales. It's hidden behind some other buildings, and the outside appearance sure isn't much to look at. The lack of windows had me wondering if I was entering a 'portal' to hell, or some tasty baked goods. I trusted my Yelp friend Vanessa's review and recommendation of jalapeño cream cheese bolillos, and discovered the latter.
I didn't see any prices listed for the pan dulce, but they were very inexpensive. I selected four pieces, including one of those soft, chewy bolillos stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeños, and paid less than $3 total. The guava empanada and caramelized pastry that resembled an oreja were good, too. A full menu of Mexican fare is served here, and with so many prices below the $5 mark, Los Portales may deserve consideration in the cheap eats category.
Vaya con Dios.
