I have been coming to El imperial for probably 35 years, along with many of my friends. I love the fact that the food is still the same as it was many years ago even after they changed locations. The cheese enchiladas are my fave!

I moved out of state 10 years ago, but when I come into town I'll stop by when I can. My family who still lives in Houston is very loyal to this place, all the way back from the late 90s, and they were still off 1960. Oscar is a warm and convivial host and remembers my parents from those days. The food is about the same from how I remember it growing up in those times. Not as busy, though, and we had three different waitstaff come to our table asking if we needed anything....

Alright, amigos, if you’re looking for a place that delivers on fresh flavors and good vibes, look no further than El Imperial. I’m talking tacos that’ll make you question every sad, flavorless shell you’ve ever had. Quesadillas so cheesy they might as well have a Netflix special. Enchiladas that could fuel a repulsor blast and burritos so loaded they’re basically the Hulk of handheld foods.
Let’s not forget the chips and salsa – the real unsung...
