" My experience at El Puerto was unremarkable. The food was just okay; it didn’t excite my taste buds as I had hoped. The atmosphere is simple, and while the service was good, the food needs to step up its game. I think I might try other places before coming back here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Puerto after a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. My only complaint was that it felt a bit crowded, but that’s just a sign of great food! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been a patron of El Puerto since it opened and can vouch for its consistency. Each visit brings me back to the deep flavors of home-cooked Mexican food. The tacos are delightful, and they serve them with a generous amount of meat. The only downside is the parking situation—it's a challenge! However, the food is worth every bit of trouble. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Puerto last week and wow, what a treat! The enchiladas were filled generously and drizzled with just the right amount of sauce. The staff was super friendly, and the ambiance is family-friendly, perfect for a casual dinner. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! I particularly loved their tamales; they were wrapped perfectly. The only downside was that the place seemed a bit cramped during busy hours. In any case, the taste of the food truly shines. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, you can’t miss out on El Puerto! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn’t sure about this place when I first approached; the exterior doesn’t do it justice. However, once inside, the hospitality was warm and welcoming. I had the steak fajitas and they were loaded with flavor—cooked just right. I’ll definitely be back to explore the menu more. " (*Curated Review*)

" So I went to El Puerto based on recommendations from friends, and it lived up to the hype! The menudo was phenomenal! Honestly, it’s rare to find such authentic flavors in Houston. However, the atmosphere felt a bit chaotic during lunchtime but still enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)
