El Puerto — Restaurant in Houston

This is Houston’s hidden gem. As a traveling sales rep, I’m not able to bring my lunch most days. El Puerto has been a blessing, providing top-tier food at an affordable price and restaurant-style service at fast food speeds. You can be in and out comfortably in 30 minutes. The staff is very kind and attentive, and did I mention that the food is freaking good?? I cannot recommend El Puerto enough, and I will be dining here every time I’m in EaDo.

Yes, the parking lot and building are not in the best shape.

Needs free WiFi. The food and service gets this place 4 stars. The building and parking lot gets this place 2 stars. Overall making...
