    Simply stunning original takes on Mexican food Can't…read morerecommend this place enough. I eat here almost every time I come to El Paso Portions are large, prices are very reasonable. Best tasting crickets I've ever had. If they had a $10 bowl of just them, I'd order it.

    Let me start by saying that the ELEMI restaurant in Eastlake is definitely a step above your…read moreaverage Tex-Mex taqueria in El Paso and, in my opinion, a much stronger culinary experience than the Elemi taqueria in Cimarron. The restaurant offers a cozy contemporary feel with a minimalist modern touch. The white oak and high ceiling also contributes to a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Right from the start, I loved the presentation of the Pepino--refreshing, creative, and unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. The Aguachile Callo de Hacha was outstanding, easily one of the highlights of the evening. If you're visiting for the first time, I highly recommend ordering the following tacos - Campesino ($7) and the Pato al Pastor ($8); both are packed with original flavors and showcase the chef's creativity. Their Jamaica drink is also excellent and pairs beautifully with the food. Chef Emiliano Marentes has deservedly earned national recognition and James Beard acclaim, which naturally creates high expectations before you even walk through the door. So that is always creating an issue as many of us expect perfection. The restaurant was moderately busy, with some people waiting to be seated. The biggest disappointment, however, was the pace. We waited approximately 25 minutes for our food despite the restaurant not appearing especially full. Then came the most unexpected wait of the evening--the restroom. Standing in line for more than 15 minutes just to use the bathroom is something I've never experienced at a restaurant. That took away from what had started as a very enjoyable evening. Service was efficient without any fluff. Overall this is a solid 4.0/5.0.

    Okay, where to begin. I had been driving for about 12 and 1/2 hours straight and hadn't had…read moreanything since 9:00 a.m.. I was super hungry, and once I found my hotel I was pleased to find there was a restaurant right next door. So I thought I would go check it out When I walked in, this place definitely had a dive biker bar feel to it, but it was super packed for a Tuesday night. The lady behind the bar said sit wherever I'd like and she'd be right with me. It took her a little while to get to me as the place was pretty bumping so I can't fault her for that. She came up to the table and asked me what I'd like. I ordered the three sirloin tacos and an iced tea. She brought out the iced tea, and I had some chips and salsa while I waited. In fact, they tasted like they were bought a store, the real star was the salsa which was completely homemade and had a definite kick to it! I sat there for quite a while waiting for my tacos, after about 15 or 20 minutes she came by and said my tacos would be right out and got me a refill of my tea and some more chips. About another 10 minutes later the tacos finally arrived. They were served on one of those hot fajita plates.. well the style is correct, the plate itself was not hot. In fact, all of the food was lukewarm. Kind of disappointing when I was super starving, but I thought you know what. Let's at least give it a go. Aside from the food not being hot, the meat really did not have the flavor I was hoping for. I added the cilantro and Pico de gallo to the tacos. Hoping that would spice it up a little bit, but I was sorely mistaken. I ended up adding the green onion and some of the salsa from the chips and that at least gave it some kick. Even more disappointing was the rice and beans being lukewarm. My guess is they had my plate made at least 15 minutes ago and it just sat on the counter and no one picked it up. Sad, cuz I really wanted to like this place. At the end of the meal I sat there waiting for the check, and it didn't come. All of my chips and sat there with my wallet and credit card. Hoping to catch someone's attention. My server finally came over and apologized and took my card. A little while later she came back and said have a great evening. Was it all bad? No, it was not. I looked around at the other customers who seemed to be really enjoying the food so I'm just wondering if I caught a bad dish. Bottom line? I doubt that I'll ever come back here, but if I do I will be sure to report back to all of my friends in Yelpland and see if this place made it improvement.
