    the front door of a restaurant
    Dianna M.

    Called to place an order for pickup, it was Sunday 5:30pm and google said they closed at 6pm I just wanted to order some mole enchiladas to go. The employee who took my call said they were already closed, i could tell in her voice that she was lying to me but gave her benefits of doubt. Asked her to please have the manager fix the hours on google. Today I dropped by to pick an order and right on the door was the actual hours of business...

    .. water taste like a bad tap water. Wouldn't drink any drink that comes from the tap here . Entrance smells like raid . Bug. Spray .. quantity too small. Update . Just got me a torta , coffee and fries . The bill was 13+ I tip as I check my debit card transaction. The waiter decided to change his tip to $6.00 Would not recommend here and if you do . Make sure you check your debit card transaction

    meh it was ok.. nothing to brag about. I live in Central Florida and the authentic Mexican restaurants that are here have better flavors than I had there. The customer service is good however. I had Sopes and it was ok.

    Great authentic Mexican food did not disappoint always as for more sides and definitely the flan is the best desert they have

    My wife heard of this place through a friend so she decided to bring me here for lunch. Appetizer-ceviche was NOT it. They used key limes which have A very bitter taste compared to regular limes and I didn't care for the difference too much. It gave the entire meal an extremely sour/bitter taste. Will not order again. I ordered the carnitas plate which had beans and rice as well. Beans were not very well flavored so I didn't eat them, the rice was just ok. Could have used more seasoning, but the carnitas were pretty good. I mean I'd rather buy from el super, but the carnitas weren't the worst. Not sure If I'd be back. If I did I'd order something different. Oh but do yourself a favor and get the agua de mango OMG

    One of my favorite places to eat when I visit El Paso. I highly recommend the chipotle filet. Great customer service. Always consistent.

    Menudo is always good. We've had menudo at other restaurants but Tio Juan's is the best.

    Fresh oysters !!! Shipped every 2 days!! They get shucked right in front of you at the bar seating…read moreand they are so yummy!!! NOT grimey !!! Also had the crudo (salmon, tuna, scallops) with the soft delicious bread. The deviled eggs were good too. Truth be told I came for the oysters tho- a variety of easy and west coast options. You would never think downtown El Paso would have a spot like this but I'm glad they do!! It's a great place to pregame before a chihuahuas game!

    Happiness is a dozen oysters and good company…read more Pearl Divers is a very spacious, bright and welcoming establishment with some of the best oysters, staff and menu options! Cocktails are uniquely crafted, the ambiance pulls you right in and the bar is probably the best place to be! It's very clean as well! They have a good range of an oyster selection with great pairings, something for everyone at the table! I was so happy to see Crystals hot sauce again! I'm a dirty martini girl and of course I'd recommend blue cheese stuffed olives! The fries were crispy, hot and served as a nice sized portion as a shareable. Customer service is 10/10, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable on the menu items and engagement with guests. I've had the opportunity to visit twice and this will be one of my frequent regular visits while here in El Paso! As they say, the world is your oyster--and this place serves some of the best pearls of the sea I've had."

    We arrived with a baby and the hostess immediately told us no high chairs. Ok no biggie yet my…read morewife pointed out that they do have changing stations for babies in the restroom which is odd. Expectations and reality were nothing alike. As we were seated our waiter took 10 min to great us and then another 12 min to bring our drinks. I didn't think anything of it yet it was a precursor to the rest of our dinner. After he took our order our kids food came out in a very timely fashion but our two orders of salmon and one steak sandwich took 40 min to arrive at the table. What a ridiculous waste of my time because my sandwich was missing the fries ordered and our waiter thought nothing of it till I brought it up then he took another 10 min to bring my fries. All this while simultaneously forgetting the sauce for the salmon which also took another 10 min to bring out. The salmon was so dry it was tacky and stuck to your teeth. If you know the feeling you know it's bad. The rice that came underneath the salmon was crunchy and way undercooked. All while the waiter was like oh I can bring you free deserts for your wait all while I could only think about how I just wanted to leave. I was internally livid and exhausted but kept it to my self after seeing the owner or manager who we the guy with the white hair over at the bar enjoying a few alcoholic beverages meanwhile his restaurants service and waitstaff to the worst possible job they can. I saw the people who got the most attention and good service were all regulars sitting at the bar laughing it up with the manager/owner older guy. Why not make sure your restaurant is running smoothly and food is being delivered and prepared properly and stop trying to impress the regulars who most likely will show up either way. Any restaurant that is this unorganized and unmotivated is due to crappy management. All this and the waiter is like I'll comp you for the steak sandwich with a discount for the bad service and salmon which was a whopping $5. I don't want a discount I don't want free day old desserts I want good service and decent food. Discounts and free desserts will never fix the problem because it will always be a crutch for trashy customer service. How about stop drinking with the guests and whoop that staff into semi decent shape buy some high chairs and make sure your expo does a once over quality check on the food and time it takes to get to the table EVEN if that means stepping in and doing it yourself. The restaurant is dark the tables are sticky the whole place is very compact . Perfect and quite attractive after 5-6 wines for sure. I'm sure the food is outstanding after a few drinks as well . They gave us a $25 dollar gift card to return which if I could I'd give to the owner so he could experience the same horrible food and service we did. I wouldn't even give the gift card to someone I hated. This was one of the first times in a long time I didn't just let it slide because I understand all restaurants and people have bad days but this was exceptionally bad. If you are thinking it can't be that bad think again it absolutely can. The whole "I'm sorry we usually have awesome service and everyone loves our food it's probably just me and my family " is laughable . This isn't my first time here while visiting El Paso. The food is getting worse.

    I feel a certain kind of way about this place…read more Pros Food was mostly good Service was almost spot on Steaks were great sized Lobster Mac and cheese was amazing Lobster bisque was fantastic Healthy pour on cocktails Cons Food took forever to come out each time Server while awesome also disappeared for large periods of time Steaks had little to no seasoning Music was way too loud Diaper changing stations in the bathrooms but no high chairs? Makes little sense Admin fee that's not disclosed and no explanation for what it's for This place is probably designed for a certain demographic and that's fine but don't advertise yourself as anything other than.
