Domenic Laurenzo sharing a toast at El Tiempo Cantina

Good food. Good people. Generations of both.

A FAMILY LEGACY, STILL GROWING

Houston made us.
Family defines us.

From the Laurenzo family’s pioneering Tex-Mex roots to the first El Tiempo in 1998, our story has always started with a simple idea: bring people together around extraordinary food.

Today, three generations carry that tradition forward. Thirteen company-owned restaurants with Webster reopening in November 2026, stadium concessions, and franchised locations including IAH. And the same uncompromising passion for every plate.
