El Real Tex-Mex Cafe - Houston

Love this place! El Real serves solid Tex sex at good prices and with great service in a lively atmosphere. The margaritas are excellent and affordable. To round it off, those who live in the neighborhood can use a large discount available on Monday

A weekday evening for dinner. This building has many memories for me. My previous visit to this address, El Real was Clubland Nightclub, 30 years ago. Before, I saw Spyro Gyra, an American jazz fusion band, in the concert at the tower. The atmosphere is not your typical Tex Mexican restaurant. A Western is projected on a screen on a huge wall that is visible everywhere. This night was the film “Two Mules for Sister Sara” (Clint Eastwood Shirley MacLaine – 1970). The food came out quickly and was good. Our waiter was attentive to our table, but disappeared when it was time to close our tab.

Best aroma I've ever tasted! You can say that everything is done from scratch with every bite. Would definitely make the trip again, just try something else on the menu. Even John Wayne observed on the big screen. It just won't be better than that! Must come try this after reading several of Rob Walsh books and are very happy that we!!!! Pleasant culinary experience and wonderful service.

El Real has a name. It is said to be a really good Tex mex place. It was definitely good, but I wasn't sure if it was extremely good. It is a big restaurant and surprisingly the menu is simple and to the point. The service is pretty good. House Chips and Salsa Guacamole Smoked Chicken Quesadilla Veggie relleno Chicken Flautas

Historically significant. Recreating the recipes and taste of Tex-Mex from our youth and bringing back memories of the Tex-Mex that we grew up on. Excellent fajitas. Excellent combination plates. A lady making tortillas to order. Great bar. Great ambience. Be sure to check out the collection of Tex-Mex memorabilia on the 2nd floor. Recommended. Off menu item when available: An excellent burger. Recommended plate: The Chingo Bling, named after Houston's own Hispanic hip-hop artist and humorist. Alternatively: Enchiladas Suizas as a departure from classic Tex-Mex. Enchiladas Borunda as a West Texas variant.
