El Real Tex-Mex Cafe

About

Our menu is pure old-school. “Vintage Tex-Mex,” as our chef / co-owner Bryan Caswell calls it. Dishes that predate canned sauces and tacos from a box.

Story

Voted Best Houston Tex-Mex Restaurant of 2013, El Real boasts sophistication never-before seen among Houston’s Tex-Mex restaurant scene.

Nestled in the heart of Montrose in the old Tower Theater, El Real Tex-Mex honors the history of our cuisine by incorporating classic recipes with a modern twist. Under Chef Bryan Caswell, our menu is packed with mouth-watering must haves.

Made with only fresh, quality ingredients, everything on our menu reflects those same home style flavors of the past. Try our Sizzling Fajitas, which are a Houston staple- to our own Bacon Enchiladas, cheese enchiladas stuffed with bacon inside, chile con carne, topped with a fried egg, skillet potatoes and refried beans.

Aside from great food, El Real is available for private parties and dining of all sizes. Whether its a family get-together, formal banquet or a corporate event, our friendly event coordinators will handle everything from the fresh ingredients to our experienced and attentive wait staff.
