El Puerto Mexican Restaurant

Our first time at El Puerto Mexican Restaurant was amazing. Started with complimentary chips/salsa, yummy. I ordered the Street Tacos (not what they were called here but what I normally call them) absolutely perfect! The steak was moist & delicious, the salsa, lime, cilantro & onions all perfect together. I ate 2 & have one for lunch tomorrow. Hubby had the chicken enchiladas with beans. He was asked if he wanted salsa & he replied no, along with no cheese (allergies) his plate came out plain (as photo shows) instead of correcting this he mixed his beans over the top & enjoyed. (He wasn't disappointed) Our friend had the steak fajitas & they were delicious, hot, spicy & just delicious. Yes, I had a bite, but he tried mine too & decided that's what he's getting next time! My peach margarita was peachy deliciousness what a perfect blend of peach & tequila. Our server was perfectly knowledgeable & courteous, checking on us frequently. We got there just as dinner was starting (between 530-600) the restaurant started filling up but the atmosphere wasn't crowded or loud perfect for table side conversations. Priced right at under $55 for 3 people. What a wonderful little gem in small town America. Definitely a must on your Kansas journey.

Went to lunch here after some business in Clay Center. I was with a group, and I ordered off of the lunch menu. I had the lunch chicken quesadilla with rice, and a side taco. The chicken quesadilla was absolutely nothing special, I can honestly make better at home. The carne molida taco was also non-descript....crunchy, but bland. However, the rice was pretty decent..after I doctored it up with some salsa and hot sauce. A friend at the table did not receive her strawberry iced tea and another lady received ice in her drink when she requested no ice. Other than that, the service was decent if not all that attentive. We didn't receive refills until we asked for it....but for small town ambiance, it's a worthwhile stop.

Can't say enough about this place! Excellent food and service! We will go back! Worth the trip to Clay Center!

This place has been great since they opened. Every visit has been great. I've learned to bring my own Tabasco. The chips and salsa served at the beginning of the meal is always fresh and tasty. The food is always hot, fresh, made to order, and scrumptious. The staff is top notch: friendly, attentive, and fun. This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

This restaurant is attached to the motel. It was very good, big portions and good food. The ambiance is fairly "typical Mexican restaurant". The restaurant was very clean, had lots of seating, and lots of menu options. Very tasty!

It was busy good location. They are short on help go to Margaritas first chips and salsa next. They were perfect weather for water it never came but for chips and salsa and never came the shrimp tacos amazing. Delicious

I love this restaurant. The food is amazing and authentic and all seems to be made from scratch. The salsa is absolutely delish. I highly recommend the chicken fajitas, but every dish we have tried has been superb. The servers are friendly and efficient just fun. We usually have a late lunch and the ambiance is comfortable, the acoustics are good, We live in a near by city with many Mexican restaurants and drive 68 miles just to dine here.

Great food! Great service. We are up from the panhandle of Florida and this place is really good. Salsa, chips, everything. Great!

This place is the hidden gem of the small town of Clay Center. People actually drive for miles to eat at this amazing restaurant. Every chance we get, as a family to be in Clay Center either baseball, cross country, or basketball, We make it a point to stop and eat at this amazing restaurant. Even if you live an hour away and just to enjoy a drive around Milford lake. make it a point to have dinner at this restaurant. Chips and salsa are amazing. Food is amazing and services always quick and courteous.Please make sure you get an order of chips and salsa to go as well. Or you'll regret it....

We hope to eat here again! Food was good, service was great! The restaurant was clean and staff was friendly!
