You’ll Love The Authentic Mexican Food From This Restaurant In Tennessee
Memphis, Tennessee has long been on the short list of food-lover destinations across the United States. From Corky’s to Central to Rendezvous, barbecue has largely been responsible for the city’s food scene, but there’s one Mexican restaurant that’s making a name for itself with real, authentic, homemade Mexican dishes. It’s called El Porton, and like the name suggests, their doors are always open, ready for customers to come in, sit down, and enjoy an authentic Mexican meal.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Memphis might be known for their barbecue, but the folks at El Porton are trying to put Memphis on the map when it comes to Mexican food...
...and they're succeeding.
At El Porton, they pride themselves on serving the freshest and highest quality ingredients in every dish they serve at every time of day.
Every night of the week offers something new - Mondays kids eat free, Tuesdays are for tacos, Wednesdays are fajitas, and the specials go on and on.
If you're looking for something in addition to their thick and spicy complimentary salsa, we recommend the El Porton dip, a savory combination of ground beef, beans, and cheese dip.
Of course, drinks are always in order when you're enjoying the best Mexican food in the state. Their margaritas are some of the best in the city, and they're even on special on Thursday nights!
The best part about El Porton? They're open every day of the week for lunch and dinner, opening at 11 a.m. and closing at 10:30.
You can visit for yourself at 65 S Highland Street in Memphis, Tennessee.
