El Puerto

Great Food, Great Service

by GeorgePolley at Citysearch

When I had an office in downtown Edmonds, I ate at El Puerto nearly every day. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the owners, Ramon and his wife, made me feel part of the family. I tried most everything on the menu, and loved it all, but tended to focus on tostadas with rancho beans. I've never found a better tostada. I wish they had a branch here in Sapporo, Japan, where I have lived since April. Going without Mexican food is a great sacrifice!

Buen ano nuevo, guys! Enjoy some great food at el Puerto, and tell them Jorge Tostada says "Hi"!

Bland food and inconsistent service

by aap07 at Citysearch

I do not reccomend this restaurant to people looking to eat high-quality Mexican food. The food is very bland and has made me sick on two occasions. My order has also been incorrect and I have been given the wrong type of meat on more than one occasion. I love Mexican food and work very close to this restaurant but usually walk 1/2 a mile down the street to a different Mexican restaurant near the waterfront.

• Pros: Good location
• Cons: Poor food and service

The Best

I have been going to El Puerto for 13 years, I have traveled to Mexico 5 or 6 times and El Puerto is the best Mexican Food I have ever tasted. The service is quick and friendly and the portions are ample. It is my favorite restaurant and I highly recommend that you go there right now!

• Pros: Service, Ambience, TASTE!!!
• Cons: Moderatly Expensive
