Created by the founders of El Tiempo Cantina, Houston’s First Family of Tex Mex, Laurenzo’s Restaurant features the other side of their family’s Italian, Mexican and American Culinary Heritage. The menu, one of the largest in the city, is packed with recipes dating back generations, and includes fresh Gulf Seafood, Prime Rib, and home-made pasta. If you’re in the mood for good ‘old home-style cooking’ made from scratch daily with the freshest of ingredients, then Laurenzo’s is your place. The family has been cooking with love in Houston for over three generations, just the way their matriarch Mama Ninfa Laurenzo taught them.

    Food and service were great as always. I had the prime rib French dip sandwich which is marvelous. I also got creamed corn which was yummy. My husband had ravioli and said it was fantastic. This is a delicious place to eat!

    Best prime rib! The special is an excellent value! Dad tried the fish with Durango sauce. He liked it and he’s hard to please. Service is great! Love this restaurant!

    The food was delicious, but our server, Fernando was very disappointing. I had to ask for a glass of Merlot twice and was never asked if everything is fine. I expected better service from this establishment. It was also my birthday, so a bit disappointed.

    Lauren I’d always delivers a prime experience. They make you feel like you have been coming there forever, in a good way. Their prime rib is fantastic and their horseradish is nice and hot! The bar is where my husband and I usually sit and they have nice big TVs for sports. Service is great! Definitely recommend!!
