They always offer an affordable lunch @$9.88. The service is super friendly and dedicated. I love the colorful painting inside the restaurant. They have great Tamales that you can order for the holidays @$24 per order. I also enjoy their Caldo de rez. This is a spot near downtown judicial court. So you can from time to time run into the mayor or some city representatives. Overall a very cool place that is definitely part of El Paso's history.

Which were good (lacked a little crisp but had good flavor). The green salsa at the table was fantastic, a little slice but a ton of flavor. Everything was fresh, the chips were freshly baked, the rice was not day old rice like at so many places around here it was good and actually had some flavor, the beans were good (the bright orange color of the beans surprised me, turmeric? Regardless they were delicious). Unfortunately the meat had zero spices, not even salt. The only reason not taking off a star is the salsa paired perfectly with the shredded beef tacos and the green chili burger, but a little bit of salt would have elevated the meal for sure. There was no salt on the meat in any of the meals we'd ordered. The coffee was good and strong, the mugs weren't tiny little mugs they actually gave you enough coffee to enjoy and the experience over all was wonderful. My mom spoke Spanish, I border on no sabo, pero intendo and my kids speak no Spanish at all, the menu was all Spanish but the waitress was patient and sweet with every order. Definitely worth the visit.

It's a little hard to find tucked back in a little strip center. The inside is interesting decor with different theme walls. What was nice is that the staff was very friendly. It was close to closing time so we ordered fast and got our chips and salsa quickly. Loved the homemade chips and that they were still warm. Salsa was ok. I liked my fajitas but I wasn't as blown away with the taste as my co-worker. I had a few pieces of meat that had grizzle when I bit into them. It wasn't as seasoned as I was hoping too. The beans and rice were ok but didn't appear scratch made.

Came here from El Paso with a group for a weekend show. Note that if you want to come on a day of…read morea show you must arrive by 6:30 pm. More on that later. There is a parking lot so if you are driving it's fairly easy to get a spot. They do have folks watching the lot but unsure how useful they are as last time a member of our group visited someone hit their car and those responsible for watching and helping in the lot didn't even get the license plate of the offender. We had a reservation for 6:30 pm and upon arrival we were sat pretty quickly though it was certainly not the best seat as we were positioned toward the back behind a pillar that blocks a central part of the stage area. The view was ok, but certainly not the greatest. Food & Drink - 4* We had a few drinks, appetizers, and entrees. The fundido and guacamole were both good. The aguachile shrimp was fresh and very citrusy. The flautas were crunchy and the ribeye steak was cooked perfectly though explaining "medio raro" was shockingly frustrating even with several fluent bilingual speakers in the group. My response to it all was, "Medio raro no es medio bien, totalmente diferente; el medio raro es antes que el medio." I wouldn't say it's worth of five star but it was all certainly above average. Service - 2* Here's the biggest knock of the entire visit. We arrived at 6:30 pm. We were sat by 6:35-6:40 pm. We didn't have our drink order taken until about 7:00 pm. We didn't receive our drinks for another 15 minutes. We fortunately placed our appetizer order at the same time as the drinks so the appetizers showed up about 7:30 pm. He took our entree order about 30 minutes later, around 8 pm. The show starts at 8:30 pm, we didn't receive our food until 8:45-8:50 pm. This meant we largely had to eat our entire entree in the dark since a good portion of the show is with the lights off. We did notice that at no point in time did ALL tables have dishes on their table, which made us wonder if they don't even have enough plates for the entire seating capacity. They were very quick to take empty plates which made us further suspect that this was a constraint. Overall this makes for a very frustrating experience. Pricing - 4* Subjectively I think the entrees and drinks are fairly priced all things considered. Expect to spend about $30-50 USD a person for a couple of drinks and food. There is a charge for the show, which is reasonable given the length of the show is 1.5 hours. Overall - 3.25* The overall experience was nice though the service to get drinks and food in a timely capacity was definitely the most frustrating part. I don't know if this is because they just don't know how to handle a full house, don't have the back house kitchen capacity, not enough plates to serve everyone, or just purposely go slow to keep you wanting to drink more? Id recommend arriving around 5:45-6 pm in order to hopefully avoid eating in the dark. We enjoyed the show though the impersonator of Juan Gabriel was fairly "eh." Of all the performances we all agreed his was the least entertaining and could be cut out in place of something better. This is a great show for all ages and definitely highlights the different regional cultures well. Everyone enjoyed it, the food is good, just don't expect to be served quickly. If they could improve that, it can easily be 4*.

I could say so much for you to believe me, and it honestly starts with the speedy (and kind) service, flavorful profiles and the pricing! My first visit I just simply couldn't believe it. Each visit, I try something new and I must say that I'm hooked on the Jamaica Margarita (with the tajin rim), and the pork shoulder taco, as well as the chicken taco! The Baja shrimp taco is also in my top 3! The staff is kind, energetic and will remember you; not just from personal experience but from my observations as well. Service is fast, food is hot and it's a great place to be! There is no wi-fi, but it is a FUN and engaging place for sure! I'd recommend a bar seat if you're lucky Warning: You may leave planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill.

About 8 large chile toreados, grilled onions.and plenty of corn tortillas. The charro beans were mostly bean soup. I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.
