El Puerto Restaurant and Grill

El Puerto Restaurant and Grill is located just off the beaten tourist trail in Ybor City, Tampa's historic district. El Puerto is one of Tampa's hidden gems and well worth a visit. Just make sure you're very, very hungry as the portions are huge. Chef/Owner Nelson Umana has over 20 years' experience creating delicious Latin American specialties using traditional recipes from countries like Cuba, Argentina, Mexico, and Peru. Their specialty is beef prepared with an Argentinian flair with their skirt steak always drawing rave reviews. Another good choice is the Parrillada or mixed grill. There is also a good selection of seafood items and their Ceviche is a popular choice.
