El Perron - American restaurant in Houston - 5020 East Sam Houston Pkwy N, USA

4/1/23: This place is great, I actually love i how they have it set up. Food was so good. The meat that they cook here is well seasoned and taste great! I order a hot dog and some tacos. The hotdogs are pretty stuff with all sort of goodies. I think it can do with a weiner or just a sausage but this hotdog has both. The tacos are really good here, meat has a great taste, good tortillas and the salsa is kicking!!. The unique thing about this location is that they also have a truck outside to order too!!! And they have a mini Mexican store right next by it. So if your hungry and want some good hot dogs or tacos....try this location. They would have gotten 4 stars if they had the AC working in the inside building. ***The restroom is not suitable people in wheel chair****Please Share, Like, and Follow for more #JayTrueRatings

Ok. I gave it a try based on reviews and dont need to come back. Burger patty was thin and zero flavor. It was all bun. Fries were thin and under cooked and soggy. Again, no salt or seasoning added. Other tables had regular service plates but for some reason, they packed mine to go. The heat wrapped up with shrink wrap on my styrofoam plate, prolly made the fries soggy. Sat on the patio with my dog which was the only good part. Owners have their kids running around jumpin ON TOP of the patio tables! No one correcting behavior, so i told the kid twice to cut it out. Im a local elementary school teacher and just another example of our students in this district, allowed to do whatever without teachings or consequences. How about a coloring book or an activity to keep him busy while at work? (At least no cell phone in his hands) I did it when i owned my restaurants w/two kids in tow. I get it! Lots of traffic noise. Could benefit from some music playing to make atmosphere better. From one owner to another in the F&B industry.....minor improvements make a big difference. First.....control ur kid from yelling and running around! Pls! 🙏🏼 Good luck! I see heavy overhead, heavy staffed for low numbers and its a super slow saturday night.

We passed by here on Saturday with my sister's dog, they allow dogs on the patio which was a huge plus! My girl ordered the El Perron hot dog with fries, and a pineapple drink, I order the Hamburgresa burger combo with. Dr. Pepper. The food came out with plastic covers to prevent bugs and flies, I thought this was amazing. The hot dog was full of toppings that mixed well together. The hot dog had beans which was a first but outstanding flavors. The burger was a perfect size, the cheese was delicious. The burger had ham and salami which mixed well with the rest of the toppings. The fries were hot and made perfectly. This place is very unique and worth a try, at least once.

Sadly disappointed with this place. I was expecting a street food experience. Main disappointment was that the prices on the menu are not the prices in real time. They tend to change them arbitrarily depending on the day of the week. The prices we payed for the low quality food we ate made the whole experience sour. A good takeaway was that the burgers are tasty. Not big, kind of small and really poor quality meat for the price your paying. Many of the table ingredients were rancid, like the mayo kept at room temp on the tables. The straw that broke the camels back was the young man who lost his patience giving me an explanation as to why the cost didn't match the prices on the menu. My wife had been a loyal customer since their humble beginnings. she was ashamed at the experience we had.

The Tortas & Barbacoa are delicious. I'm sure the rest of the menu is as well, but can only speak for those two. A bit pricey, but the staff is nice. Good place to grab lunch.

Muy bien! Ok every white dad bod 40 + year old has got to try this at least once. This place is basically the Mexican Willy Wonka of hot dogs! Yes that crazy good! You gotta stop here for no reason! Not just because Greg said so. I ordered their signature dish the El Perron it was a sausage wrapped with BACON COVERED WITH PICO AND sliced Avacados. The fry basket was cooked perfectly. This place was outstanding for a Mexican hot dog stand. Go here! Stop. it’s worth it. Carne Asada torta was yummy - my co eater said it was so good I ate it in like 5 seconds!

Absolutely delicious! We ordered a variety from the menu. All of it was amazing! Clean bathrooms. Family-friendly. Honestly, I’d give it 5 stars, but the air conditioning wasn’t working, and that made it kinda hard to sit through. They had lots of fans to circulate air, but it’s over 90 degrees outside. The server was on point, polite, personable, and attentive. I HIGHLY recommend this place!

This has definitely been one of the best dang Mexican burgers I've had. Not only did the burger have lots of flavor but my wife and kids had hot dogs and they were also really good size for kids.
