    Nice find. Easy location and nice service and food that is VALUE priced. Green chili enchiladas were good topped with an egg that made it even better. Check this place out. Very local.

    E.P. exPatriot, in town for a family reunion woke up on the east side on a Saturday morning. MAPS sent me here,what a discovery! I knew I was in right place when the sign said "Menudo Everyday!" Large bowl of love..,bread and coffee... I'd have paid much more than 5 and some change, service was excellent,friendly but not overbearing. After I was ready to take on the day. I can only image how good the rest of the menu is cuz the menudo was as good as any I've had and I've had allot!

    Best huevos rancheros I've had, the eggs are cooked perfectly and the sauce is great, definitely packs a punch so if you're not a fan of spice I wouldn't recommend. The prices are very good and the serving of food provided is perfect. The salsa is so good and they provide this complimentary with chips when you walk in. The menudo is definitely worth having, perfect serving and they give you a good ratio of hominy and meat to soup. The restaurant itself is small and cozy and the staff is friendly. The wait time for food can vary depending on the day. I've come on a Saturday and waited almost 30 minutes for my food but I've also waited as little as 5 minutes on a Sunday. Definitely a little gem worth visiting if your in the area. I'm rating a 4 because I've only had a couple of items on the menu but I will definitely be back to try more. I'll also mention they do have football games on Sunday's.

    The inside is very comfy and goes along with their home feel cooking! Great atmosphere !

    Albas is that place you go to when you know you want great home style cooking that never disappoints. The Menudo is the best I've had in the country and I've eaten it everywhere. When you order eggs over medium or easy you get the eggs you ordered. The staff is consistent, attentive and friendly. The price is very reasonable considering how fresh the food is. I recommend the menudo, Round Hotdog (Hotdog served in a hamburger bun) and their Huevos Rancheros. I love this place and come when I'm in town for work!

    Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle. It's got heat as it's also creamy...I would call it medium (I like spicy food.) If you're getting them to go, you might want the sauce and toppings on the side. They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

    Stopped at El Taquito for breakfast during our move from WA to TX, and it was such a great choice…read more The staff was incredibly friendly, and the whole place had that warm, local-favorite vibe. We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!

I bumped it up to four stars for the super friendly service and the excellent aguas frescas. We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here. What you get is a good amount of decent food at a good price served by great people.

    Okay, I do not say this lightly. But I may just have had the best tacos I've ever had in my life! I…read morewas looking around for a taco place in El Paso and this one popped up. Had multiple thousand Google reviews and they were all close to five stars. So I knew I had to check it out. It was super close to my hotel, so I popped in the car and found it without trouble. Trouble. Again, there is pretty limited parking so it's kind of hit and miss whether you'll find a spot or not. Fortunately, I did. When you walk up to the place, the building itself is pretty nondescript. They have a nice selection of outside seating, and your window to order is outside. Very nice lady at the counter gave me helpful suggestions and so I ordered three tacos and an amazing lime and cucumber fresca. Went in and sat down inside and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It definitely had more of an upscale bar vibe to it than a Taco shop. The waiter that brought out my tacos told me that it turns into more of a nightclub after hours. I may have to go check that out. The tacos themselves were absolutely off the chain! The tortillas were blue corn and everything on it tasted so fresh and so wonderful. The carnitas was fantastic, the brisket Taco was to die for and the blackened shrimp Taco was one of the best I've ever had. Had. The flavors were so balanced and on point, it was one of the most satisfying taco experiences I have had!! I will probably hit this place up a couple more times before I leave El Paso. If you are in El Paso, you probably already know about this place. But I'm telling you what you cannot go wrong for tacos and that lime/ cucumber fresca! Bottom line? It's about 10 hours drive from Las Vegas to El Paso. And this Taco shop will give me a great reason to do a road trip anytime. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out!

Every visit has been a great experience with flavorful food, refreshing drinks, and a vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The tacos are simply AMAZING and you can truly taste the quality in every bite. Definitely one of El Paso's must-visit taco spots!
