Buenas noches, Port Arthur.
Come in, sit down,
and let us fill your plate.
Handmade tortillas, sizzling griddles, and the kind of Tex-Mex that makes you forget about the rest of the block. We've been feeding this neighborhood with honest food and warm smiles — come taste it for yourself.
What We Serve
From Our Kitchen to Your Table
Every dish is built from scratch — tortillas pressed by hand, salsas made fresh each morning, and recipes that have been passing through generations at El Refu.
Our Story
A Table Set with Intention
El Refu Tex Mex was born from a simple idea: that the best meals happen when good food meets good people. We opened our doors on Memorial Boulevard with a commitment to making everything from scratch — tortillas pressed by hand, salsas ground fresh each morning, and recipes passed down through our family.
Port Arthur has been our home, and our regulars have become our family. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a long evening with the whole table, we want you to feel the same warmth that inspired every dish we serve.
With warmth,
The El Refu Team
