Arroz a la Tumbada, fresh shrimp soups & coastal specialties from the Gulf coast of Mexico
Veracruz sits on Mexico's Gulf coast, and its cooking is defined by the sea. While most Mexican restaurants in Utah focus on tacos and burritos, El Puerto brings the authentic coastal seafood of Veracruz to Sandy — fresh, soulful, and made the traditional way. It is the side of Mexican cuisine most Utahns have never tasted.
Our seafood is built on slow broths, bright citrus, fresh herbs, and time-honored technique. From our signature Arroz a la Tumbada to fresh shrimp cocktails and whole fried mojarra, every dish carries the flavor of the Veracruz coast.
