Puerto Real

My husband and I stopped here while we were visiting family and had a blast. We enjoyed the food so much, literally after we ate we left and returned with my sister so she could to try it too. The food was amazing and it was a good portion size. We met the owners/chefs and they were amazing, gave us a tour and told us about their business, the neighborhood, and gave us good recommendations on other places to visit. We'll definitely be back whenever we return, they were the sweetest ladies.

If you want the BEST in home cooked Mexican food, go to Puerto Real restaurant in Snow Hill. Everything is prepared as if you were eating with the Chef/Proprietor, Helen, at her home. Each dish is meticulously planned and executed. The flavors are so well considered and executed, there is little left to want. And the homemade tortillas are supreme.
Drinks are flavorful and blended with the same care as the food. And, if you want dessert, just ask. I'm sure she'll have something for you to enjoy. Her pantry is well-stocked.

The food and the people here are amazing. I will never understand why people would ever overpay at chain restaurants when you can get this level of fresh authentic food at small independent restaurants such as this one. I'm definitely looking forward to going back! While you're there, be sure to check out the upstairs cantina.
