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.
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.
