This place is a true treat! The wait staff is friendly and helpful. The food is great. They keep the drink cups filled and the chip basket full. The atmosphere of the building makes you feel as though you are in a cantina. There...Read More

Great classic Mexican restaurant, with amazing food and great prices. Recently updated menus and prices, even with the increase in prices, it is still worth it. Service is always fast and accommodating, and food is always good, although it can be salty from time to...Read More

Eating here for years, and there is nothing bad to say. The staff is awesome, and the food speaks for itself. By far, the best Mexican restaurant out there. Whenever we come back to visit (moved out of state) we always make it a point to schedule...Read More

By far the best Mexican food I've had since 2009. I've ate Mexican food from Fleming, Florida up to Chesapeake, Virginia since the new year came in. One place in Colombia, SC was great, until I had El Puente Mexican Grill. My co-lead and I...Read More

Highly recommend El Puente for great food, tasty margaritas, laid back atmosphere and amazing service! We had Elsy as our server. She was polite, attentive and knowledgeable. The meals came out quickly and both the seafood chimichanga and the enchiladas were hot and delicious.

We ate the food before I remembered to take the picture. Drinks were made well and the way we like them. Food was great. Staff was friendly. Will go again if I’m in the area.

El Puente is a far out drive from where I live in Hampton Roads but I can honestly say the drive was worth it!! Food was very good!!

First time here. Came after the reviews and it was definitely 👍🏽. Food was hot! Salsa was fresh. Margaritas on point. Even the kids cheese quesadillas looked good. And the bathroom was very clean. Honest review…better than La Parilla and Plaza Azteca in my opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Stayed in the area on the way down to OBX. This place was 5 mins from the hotel so decided to give it a try. It was great! Chips and white/red salsa were so of the best I ever had. The dinner positions were huge,...Read More

I was hesitant about eating some Tex-Mex away from home (Houston TX), I’ve made that mistake before! Although, I seen they had a Mocajete on the menu and I had to try it, so I went. I walked in without judgment and got a table,...Read More

This is probably one of the best Mexican restaurants that I've been to in this area. Service was prompt and food was hot and delicious. Prices also were not outrageous. I'll be back soon.

El puente is always very good. Food is consistent and large amounts. Same menu as La Laparilla but for some reason taste better and just a little cheaper on everything. One of my top two local Mexican restaurants!
