    All they sell here is delicious barbacoa!
    Roy R.

    My buddy and I were in the mood for some barbacoa on a Sunday morning and while driving around his new neighborhood , we happened to find this little gem. Since it actually had barbacoa in the title, we figured we should at least check it out. To our delight, it turned out that they ONLY sell barbacoa and it was exactly how I was hoping they would. They sold it by weight. I was very happy about that, because I prefer to be able to make my own tacos. They sell it by Kilo with the lbs equivalent next to it. They do also happen to serve orders of tacos and lonches (sandwiches), but we were interested in getting it by weight. The barbacoa comes with pico de gallo, a mix of onions and cilantro, a red and green sauce, and with a small bowl of limes. I later noticed that their flier says you also get guacamole, but we did not happen to get any, and to tell you the truth, I think it would be too rich to add that to it. The barcacoa is very tasty. It is moist, but not overly greasy with the huge clumps of fat that Ive seen at other locations. They heat it up on a flat grill, so I am sure that helps drain some of the fat from it. You also get a hot, heaping pile of corn tortillas to start putting your own tacos to your liking. We saw them pulling the corn tortillas out of a plastic bag and getting heated up on the grill, but I won't judge too harshly on that since there are plenty of tortilla factories in the area and I am sure they get them fresh. They definitely tasted very fresh. The place is not huge, but it does have tables that can easily be put together by the back wall to accommodate large groups. We actually saw a large family doing just that and it makes sense if you are going to order a whole kilo of barbacoa! That's a whole lot of meat! I happened to notice that their hours end early. 7am-4pm on weekdays and 7am-3pm on weekends. So come early if you want to partake in their great barbacoa. 1Kg/2.2lbs - $25 3/4Kg/1.7lbs - $19 1/2Kg/ 1.1lbs - $12.50 1/4Kg/ 0.6lbs - $6.50

    OMG. Taco perfection right here. I'm really really sad that I cannot eat these tacos every day, because I WOULD. On my last day in El Paso, I had to sample some authentic tacos. And while barbacoa isn't my favorite meat (I prefer pastor) this place was open at 7am and had good reviews on Yelp. So I woke before anyone else and came in for a taco breakfast. They ONLY serve barbacoa, so if you really just don't like that meat, you are out of luck and should go elsewhere. But it was just amazing. I ordered the tacos, and you get 4 of them for $6. They are filled with meat and come with great sides and sauces. I was in heaven and told my siblings they were nuts for not partaking in taco breakfast with me. I was too full to eat the last one and cried a little as I wrapped it up and threw it away :(. The sauces were spicy and perfect, and the meat was moist but not greasy. What a fabulous place to get some awesome barbacoa!! Can you please open a location in Nashville?!!

    Look for this place!

    Really good Barbacoa! I'm a little surprised that in a city like El Paso doesn't have many Barbacoa houses. Don't get me wrong, Barbacoa is not necessarily hard to come by, but in actual Mexico Barbacoa is often sold at establishments dedicated solely to Barbacoa (and related foods like colitas de pavo), a Barbacoa house, if you will (sadly not a house built entirely out of tasty, tasty Barbacoa). Anyway, you don't find many of these places in El Paso, and Los Cuatro Vientos is just that kind of place. They only sell Barbacoa here, whether by the lb. or tacos & sandwiches. I like their no-frills menu, and the Barbacoa is really good! The Barbacoa is moist, but not overly greasy, just squeeze some lime, put some salsa and add some onions, and boom, you got yourself an excellent taco. WARNING: Los Cuatro Vientos closes at 4pm on weekdays and 3pm on weekends, so plan accordingly.

    1/2 kg...really good

It was very heavy and very cheesy. There was something super heavy about that I cant describe. The staff was super nice and got us our food and drinks and refilled our salsa n chips often. My friend had the mole item and felt it was way too sweet/cocoa on it. Overall I would've wanted to try the other machaca items and other things. The vibe is very homely and chill, bit of a hole in the wall atmosphere.

I had just flown in from the airport, and my brother arranged it as a special family gathering. Everything started normally: we were seated, ordered our food, received our drinks, and enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Then my sister (who is LGBTQ+) stepped away to use the restroom. When she returned and sat down, a manager approached our table and loudly told her--in front of other diners--that "MEN cannot use the female restroom." My sister was mortified and humiliated by the public confrontation. The manager's tone and assumption were shocking and clearly discriminatory. We immediately got up and left without eating. This wasn't about enforcing any legitimate policy; it was rude, insensitive, and targeted. My adult sister is perfectly capable of reading the restroom signs herself--no one needed to police or shame her in such a way. The incident felt rooted in homophobia and transphobia from management. We will never return to this place, and we will actively discourage others--especially LGBTQ+ individuals and allies--from patronizing it. What should have been a joyful family milestone was ruined by bigotry. Avoid this establishment if you value respect and inclusivity.

Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

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.
