She auditioned with Sergio Andrade to be a singer. He formed a group, managed by powerful Mexican producer Sergio Andrade. Portillo was chosen for the group; the girls picked the name "Boquitas Pintadas" because it sounded very different from the names of other typical teenage bands of the era, many of which tried to copy Menudo with their name. Because of the band's name, Mary Raquenel Portillo later became known as "Mary Boquitas".
Gloria Trevi was another member of the band. "Boquitas Pintadas" had five members in total; however, it was Trevi and Portillo who were able to forge a friendship that went beyond their days at "Boquitas Pintadas".
