    It's previously Village Inn, but with new ownership. Menu has stayed relatively the same, which is great for us old school menu lovers. I ordered the Santa Fe chicken skillet with two eggs over easy with green sauce and wheat toast, with coffee. It's my all time favorite. My family and I chose this place after grandpa's funeral service. They were courteous and efficient, as we were a large party. We made special family moments that evening. I'm sure they do amazing service with smaller groups. Menu has food for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's meant to satisfy all bellies. That's why we all agreed to this place. Plenty of parking. Enjoy!

    Who wants to make a bet that this restaurant will close soon? Here is why.... My visit was terrible. Customer service was SLOW, no one was at the host stand when we arrived and the food took about 30-45 min to arrive. Most of my family just ordered pie. Literally waited a good 30 minutes for pie. To make matters worse drinks took equally as long. Refills? Nope, we didn't get them and we had to get up to get help at one point, that was to simply pay our bill. Butter Smith Kitchen & Pies is similar to Village Inn but with the ability to buy alcohol. Patrons visiting during my visit were not drinking alcohol. The service seriously lacks and I'm going to say that with as much restaurant competition little old El Paso has, this place will have to revamp their staff, learn customer service, and simply just care to stay competitive and remain open. The worst part for a restaurant is having people who do not care. With only 2 other tables and plenty of staff, the service was a disappointment. You have one shot, and for me, this was a miss! Would never return. The food wasn't great so nothing worth returning for.

    Menudo.. ALL YOU CAN EAT!! WaitWha?? Yass!! Served Daily.. OMG!! Soooo Delish, Soooo perfect.. SOOOO TEXAS!! Ok, ok yes it's like super hot here in El Paso, Texas but never to hot for Menudo. This is the just like the menudo my Ama use to make when my sisters and I were little. Ya know adding hominy sure does make all the difference in the world. Let me send a shout out to Mari our beautiful waitress with amazing customer service. She was very respectful and very professional. Me, being from California you don't see many waiters and/or waitresses that treat you courteously and with such professionalism.. Thank you Ms. Mari for making my experience at Butter Smith's an eventful and memorable one. Food was super delish.

    Other than their location on Zaragosa I love this place. The ambiance is super cozy, giving "modern dinner" as soon as you walk in. The menu varies with traditional and Mexican items, and a big selection of pies, of course! The service is good and prices not too bad. I only wish it was closer to me and not in such traffic congested part of town, but it's worth the the trip once in a while.

    We decided to stop by for dessert, and then changed our mind and split a margarita grilled cheese basil sandwich with tomato soup and hot coffee! It's cool outside. Actually, I'm freezing, so the coffee was perfect! Service was a bit slow, but not bad. We were in no rush. The food was pretty good. The tomato soup was warm, not hot, so I asked the waiter to microwave it! Sent it back, and got it just right! The fries were soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside. Not bad, tasty! Can you believe it, we ordered dessert! I had a slice of key lime pie and hubs had berry pie! They were delicious! Bring another pot of hot coffee! We rolly-pollies rolled out of there ready to burst! Most definitely recommended. 5/5

    I brought my grandma and grandpa here for breakfast on a Saturday morning thinking it was going to be a long line but we were able to get a seat quickly. As soon as you walk it you see all the fresh pies they make daily and put on display. The pies look so delicious!!! Our server Jackelyn was so sweet and super attentive to our table. She always made sure to check up on us. I could tell she was working her @ss off too throughout the restaurant also. I ordered the all you can eat menudo and it was decent. They do give you a small bowl. My grandma tried it and she approved so it got approval from her lol. My grandpa got the Texas Chicken Fried steak skillet and it was gone pretty fast. My grandma got the huevos rancheros and I tried the green chile sauce they put on top and it was delicious!! Their salsa is also very flavorful!!! Oh and at the end I wanted to get a strawberry crepe to share with my grandma and it was so good I only got about 2 bites and she ate the rest LOL ok so overall for my first time experience here I will definitely be coming back again maybe for happy hour next time :) enjoy my pics

    I love a place that has breakfast all day. Yes, as you can see from the pictures, I had some Benedict eggs for dinner. On the other hand the rest of my party all had dinner. We weren't sure about the tostadas here, however, I can say we were pleasantly surprised with the results. Everything was fantastic. To finish off the night, we each had a slice of pie with coffee. I had some pumpkin pie and the rest ordered cherry pie. The staff was good, but I believe that this night they were under staffed. They did the best they could but service was a little slow.

    This morning as we headed out to our final destination we were looking for someplace open on Christmas Day for breakfast that wasn't packed. We stumbled upon Butter Smith and decided to give it a try. I had the Cali Skillet and my husband had the green Chile breakfast enchiladas. Both were excellenT. Our waiter Robert was very nice and the restaurant was super clean. Noticed a lot of single fathers taking their kids out for Christmas breakfast this morning I would definitely love to try this place again if I am ever back in the area.

    Overall it was ok. It did feel that the service logistics were a bit off track- some confusion with orders and such but I'm assuming it's because the place was busy on a Sunday morning. The food was good, nice addition not on the online menu was watermelon mimosa which was 10/10 delicious. Despite some service hiccups the staff was very nice and pleasant.

We are not sure what happened, but the place changed. The old staff (who were relaxed and fun to be around) are all gone, the delicious food we kept returning to have is also gone, replaced by a menu that doesn't know what exactly this restaurant wants to be (tacos, fried chicken, attempt at French menu items, etc). They have 6 different kinds of French toast. We tasted 2 of them, and they have the same taste. Just different toppings. The price for the French toast with eggs, bacon and home fries was $17. Now they charge $18 just for 2 slices of brioche with some sauce that resembles the old Banana Foster sauce, and an additional $6 for the eggs, bacon and home fries. Disappointing, and more expensive than it's worth. Walking into a restaurant to be held hostage by some speech about a small store selling books inside the restaurant?! Yeah, don't do that. If we hadn't already ordered, we would have left. No refill on water, no inquiry about any other drinks. I wasn't even finished with my meal and the server slapped the check on the table and walked away. If that doesn't make you feel "welcome to leave", I don't know what does. Looking around, I find it unacceptable to bring food to the table 5 minutes apart for every person at the table. The staff now wears embroidered shirts with the restaurant logo (except for one, she was just chewing her gum while taking orders- also, ew), and the atmosphere has changed from casual to "we wanna be high end, we made some money so now we want you to pay more". Disappointing.

Unfortunately, one person's approach can completely change what should have been a great experience. I traveled from Houston to El Paso and was excited to visit Cocol after hearing glowing reviews from friends and family. On Tuesday, I stopped in for a quick coffee and received a lukewarm reception from the manager, Angela. She wasn't able to seat two adults and two children, explaining there was a 25-minute wait. That was completely understandable, so I happily ordered everything to go. I mentioned that we planned to return the following morning for breakfast before making the drive back to Houston. To avoid any issues, I asked if we should make a reservation. She confirmed the restaurant opened at 9:00 a.m., and I requested a reservation for that time. After asking me to wait for a moment, she returned and said that because we would have four adults and two children, they don't usually seat parties because they are a small restaurant, so we would have to wait until 9:30 instead. I explained that we had a long drive back to Houston (that's 10 hours with no stops) immediately afterward and asked if there was any flexibility. She declined. I then suggested that we simply stop by at 9:00 and, if the restaurant happened to be busy, we would completely understand waiting. If it wasn't busy, perhaps we could be seated a little earlier. Her response was that they would tell us the exact same thing in the morning. There was no willingness to discuss any options or find a compromise. When I told my local family about the interaction, they were surprised and assumed there had to be a misunderstanding. The next morning, my uncle asked for a table for six. The hostess initially began helping him, but once Angela saw me, she insisted we could not be seated until 9:30. At that moment, there was only one table occupied in the entire restaurant. He also explained that he had come in on Sunday, their busiest day, right at opening with no reservation and was seated immediately with a party of five, so he genuinely could not understand why we were being treated so differently on a weekday when the restaurant was clearly almost empty. My uncle asked to speak with the manager, only to learn Angela was the manager. He then asked if he could speak with the owner, but she declined and simply repeated her position. I honestly don't know what I did to offend her. Throughout the entire interaction, I remained polite and respectful. It wasn't the policy itself that was disappointing--it was the complete unwillingness to work with a customer or even discuss reasonable alternatives. Good customer service is often about finding solutions, not simply proving you're right. We even offered to sit at a table and wait until 9:30 before ordering if that helped their process. That suggestion was immediately rejected as well. Instead, we were told to wait outside, despite having two young children with us. Before writing this review, I wanted to give the owner, Liz, an opportunity to address the situation. I called later that day and asked to speak with her. Ironically, Angela answered the phone, took my information, and said Liz would return my call. I'm still waiting. I do want to recognize our server, Alex, because she was outstanding. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely worked hard to ensure we had a pleasant experience despite the circumstances. She deserves recognition for her professionalism and kindness. The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because of Alex. She earned every bit of praise she deserves. Unfortunately, the actions of one person--especially the manager who represents the restaurant--were enough to turn what should have been a memorable stop into a disappointing experience. I truly hope this feedback is taken constructively, because Cocol clearly has great food and employees like Alex who deserve leadership that reflects the same level of hospitality.

I saw some pictures of a new brunch place in the Far East off Zaragoza, and it looked good. It's hidden in the back next to Sky Zone and across the street from Oasis Lanes, so finding it was a little hard. When I walked in I didn't realize it was so small because I had convinced some of the girls to come to try it out with me from the Peachlab workouts. They wanted to come out to celebrate Nurse B's birthday as well as mine because that's the type of supportive community they are, but most are vegan, so I try to find places that have vegan food alongside others so that we can dine together as a group. When I saw that Boca Brava had vegan tacos on the menu, I was really excited. What I didn't know was that on Sundays they only have a Sunday Brunch menu and it doesn't have the regular items. The vegan tacos $3 each consisted of mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions (grilled and pickled), my friends enjoyed it with a variety of salsas. Luckily for us, our waitress was amazing and she got the staff to make us some vegan tacos. They were beyond accommodating and I appreciate that. Because they obviously were in a rush to make items that weren't on the menu that day, the tacos didn't come out perfectly and they're willing to redo it and also not charge us for it. My breakfast plate of 2 eggs, hashbrowns, one bacon slice, and 3 corn pancakes (with slightly spicy maple syrup) was $15. Mimosas were $3. My hashbrowns were really greasy, but the over-easy eggs and crispy bacon were cooked perfectly. The best part was the corn pancakes, I don't think I've had a lighter pancake but with substance. It wasn't doughy which is usually why I avoid pancakes, but crispy and light, probably because of the cornmeal. It was delicious. My other friend ordered chilaquiles and said that it was delicious and not mushy. We also ended up getting 2 free chocolate cakes because they overheard us saying that it was our birthday. Our waitress even took our picture, but I got cropped out, lol, my bad I didn't check the pictures until I got home. For a new place willing to admit they can be better and put the customers first, I really think they'll do well. It's refreshing and it'll bring back repeat customers. If I lived in the far East this would be one of my regular places. Boca brava (915) 219-8700 1691 N Zaragoza Rd STE 5, El Paso, TX 79936 https://maps.app.goo.gl/exW9sS3pcPrAvNzZ6
