Great food! I wish I had snapped a picture before we ate the whole meal! We were visiting my nephew and his family in El Paso from So Cal! We ordered the pesto chicken sandwich, a cheeseburger and asada fries. Portions are really big so we were able to share! We also decided to have the seasoned fries. To be clear, the seasoning is not seasoning salt, it's Tajin or something with citrus. It was good, but not what I was expecting. Everything was really good! The place was clean. The service was great. I was looking for Dr. Pepper so he told me they had an area at the liquor store next store that I could get some. It was a total score all around! read more

Chase the Taste - Raw patties - New American Near Me - El Paso, Texas

SEDUCED BY HUNGER TO SATISFY THE SENSES What does it mean to Chase the Taste? To seek out flavours that one cannot imagine? Or flavours so strong and intense that you need something to wash it down and take it down a notch? I will let you be the judge of that. Upon entering, you see a large blackboard menu on your right, the cashier in front of you, and a large space to enjoy a lunch break, celebrate the end of the day, or make new memories. All the feedback I received has been great so far, so let me tell you about my adventure. The FOOD: OG Borracho Burger with Carne Asada Fries: FROM GRAND FIESTA TO FOOD COMA Imagine the best that a burger and fries has to offer and bring them together in an unholy matrimony. The OG Borracho burger masquerades as a sinful delight, but also heavenly resuscitation for someone needing flavour and nutrition the morning after drinks. The first thing you taste is the spicy, smoky chipotle aioli that stands tall on the tips of your taste buds. Next comes a buffet of savoury meats for your taste buds, including beef, bacon, and chorizo. These strong, meaty flavours come together to make up a unique umami taste. This is balanced out by the grilled hatch green chiles, onions, and tomatoes, which help cut and complement the fattiness. Just when you think that is all, the melted cheddar cheese and a runny egg erupt all over the burger to provide a gooeyness that contrasts well with the crisp, toasted buns. You could use a knife and fork, but we all know you want to make this an all-hand-job. The Carne Asada Fries are topped with levels of complex sauces, including green chile queso, guacamole cream, and spicy salsa. Together, they added a balanced spiciness and mild creaminess to make it overall lighter. The Carne Asada Fries felt a little healthier with lettuce and pico de gallo, which provided a refreshing break from the burger. The carne asada was cut into small, yet undetectable pieces, which hid its grilled, meaty flavour and made it somewhat absent with each bite (-1 star). My eyes could see it, but my taste buds felt ignored. My only other wish was that there was melted cheese to bring a warmth to the dish and tie everything together. Overall, it felt more like a salad of french fries than Carne Asada Fries. The VERDICT: WILL FOREVER CHASE THE TASTE Chase the Taste is the place for someone looking for more in their meals. Each meal is either a decision to take charge and explore for your taste buds or reintroduce them to the in-laws of the culinary world. The OG Borracho Burger packs a lot of intense meaty flavor; from beef patties to porky bacon and chorizo, to a runny chicken egg. Each bite is a combination of umami meats, spicy sauce, and grilled vegetables that layer together to explode with flavour. The Carne Asada Fries are a refreshing touch (and only a $2.50 upgrade to a burger) with complex sauces, but is lighter than what you may expect. Overall, I like creativity and the vibe of Chase the Taste and will definitely be back, especially if we begin to see more of their creativity unfold, or a seasonal special menu. read more

Chase the Taste - OG Borracho Burger with Carne Asada Fries: FROM GRAND FIESTA TO FOOD COMA - New American Near Me - El Paso, Texas

This is a cute little hole in the wall place. It had been recommended to me by a couple of people and finally got the chance to go. The menu has few options between burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads. I ordered the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich, which I thought was decent. The chicken itself was good very very well. It was nice and juicy and very flavorful, but I wish the it was served with more of the sauce it came with. It also came with pineapple My boyfriend got a green Chile burger mediocre. He did get the carne asada fries which were my favorite out of everything. The regular seasoned fries are seasoned with something like Tajin which is a limey seasoning. Overall a good place but I don't think I would eat there again due to limited options. read more

This place is kind of hard to see from the road but worth the stop. I came here today to grab lunch and ordered the bbq pulled pork. It had a house made sauce, was smoked in house, and had homemade pineapple slaw on it. I loved it. I also ordered a blueberry cider for my drink. Was very good and hit the spot. I will be back again to try something new. read more

Awesome spicy chicken sandwich. Tasted so good! Carne asada fries weren't bad either! I feel sorry for the people going to chain restaurants close by, this is so much better. Service was good, once you order they bring the food to you. Its a little small on the inside seating area. But the times I've been, there has been enough seating. I think a good amount ppl order to go read more

Chase the Taste - Sweet Spicy Chicken Carne Asada Fries - New American Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Good flame-broiled burgers but WAY overpriced for the area. The last time I paid over $16 for a burger, I was in Manhattan. For two double burgers and two drinks, the cost was $41 before tax. We also had some cauliflower bites but since most people are looking for burgers, I'll just post the cost of those. However, I do not recommend the cauliflower bites because after deep frying, they cover with hot sauce, which makes the breading soggy and who wants to eat soggy breaded cauliflower? Service was fine but they have the annoying tip screen come up at the ordering register (no table-side waiters). I mean, really, what am I tipping you for at this point? For taking my order? Note that they charge you 4% for using your credit or debit card instead of cash. When you consider the already sky-high prices, 4% is even more meaningful. Anyway, the interior is nice for a fast-casual burger joint. In summary, it seems like a nice place with cordial workers but I don't think we'll be back due to the high prices. I can go to Burger King for a flame-broiled burger. In fact, they taste exactly the same. read more

Food was good. Small kitchen not a place to go for a quick lunch. I stopped a second time. I was told there was a big order placed it I wouldn't get my food for 30 mins. Service was good. I ordered the fish tocos they were very good but not enough sauce. When I requested extra it was a HUGE UP CHARGE. I would go back again. Was grateful they gave me a heads up about the wait. read more

Buena comida, todo se ve delicioso a precio razonable, excelente servicio, buen ambiente, en una buena ubicación.

Something happened here in the move from the food truck to a brick-and-mortar business. For one, the pricing matches what you'd expect to find in the SF Bay Area, Chicago, or NYC. I don't expect major cost relief when eating in El Paso, but I expect a difference. And at these prices, I'd expect this restaurant to stand out. What I got here wasn't Tex-Mex, wasn't fusion, wasn't original. I got the OG burger and sweet potato fries. There are several US airports that offer fare like this. The food truck had some edge to it. What happened? One difference is I felt the upsell pretty hard. All the recommendations I heard about were the expensive plates. Friendly staff, same old game. You can tell when everyone on staff points to the same high-dollar plates. It's a corporate chain vibe. I came here to feel something different. read more

They were super fast and accommodating (went with a group of 10) The best thing worth ordering are definitely the burgers, nachos were okay. read more

I have had their black bean burger, and I recommend it, and the wait was not long. Comfortable and didn't feel rushed. read more

The food was all on point. Highly recommend the chicken sandwich. Upgrading to carne asap fries is a good choice as well.

Absolutely phenomenal hamburger. I ordered the #1 which is the regular that comes with fries (drink is ordered separately). Completely unexpected quality of taste. Plus, there was a lack of "heaviness" from the hamburger and fries. It comes with pickles, which I despise, but it's my fault for forgetting to let them know to keep those off. Cooks or cashiers or whatever their titles were are are extremely fast too which was very surprising considering the quality. Side note: server/cashier/? warned me about bleach on the table since he noticed I was wearing my hockey jersey, so the kindness is appreciated. For less then $10 (without drink) it far outweighs any hamburger meal in El Paso County...Cannot believe I waited so long to try this place out. read more

I am not a big hamburger fan but in my quest to try a non-franchise local spot stumbled on this place. I had wanted to meet a coworker for lunch but it's closed on Mondays. Friday evening however, my daughter and I stopped by for a bite. It's a cute place with lots of bustle and hustle while we were there. It was so busy in fact, that while we did not have to wait long yo place our order, the wait for our food seemed about 20 or 30 minutes long. I don't hold that against them though because the ladies working the front counter were SUPER understanding and kind. Once we got our food we realized why this is a happening place. You can literally smell and taste the charbroil in the patties. I may be a hamburger convert. I am pretty sure the fries are homemade too. The prices were decent, you can grab some brew and even sit outside and people watch. My only suggestion is on the churros. We tried one but found it very hard and almost stale. Not fresh. Overall, I will reschedule my meeting (not on a Monday) with a coworker so they can check out this place with great burgers and lots of taste! read more

Stopped by for a quick bite for dinner. Burgers were delicious even the salad was really good. It was great to see the different choices, we tried the pulled pork, the green chile burger, and everything was good. Good place for burgers and beer. Small space, but it was fine for our small group. Good for families with kids or just adult. I would definitely chase the taste! read more

The Food is Awesome 5 stars all the time. Service is Fantastic people are Great and freindly clean comfortable space and restroom is always clean not like some places. Been going to chase the taste ever since he opened. We need to Support our local restaurants over big chains that drince your burger with mustard or mayonnaise even when you ask them not to. This place listens to customers. Agian a Great place to eat in or take out. read more

I really love this place! The service and timing are stellar and I've enjoyed it both times I've been here. Most recently, my boyfriend got the chicken pesto sandwich with sweet potato fries and I got the chipotle bbq chicken sandwich with a side salad. Both were stellar! The chicken is grilled which makes it even better, but it's seasoned so well even before you add the other sauces and such, it's fantastic. I also really liked the dressing for the side house salad (which even included apples and oranges, too!) We will definitely be back. read more

Went on a random weekday. Got the fish tacos. They weren't..my favorite. The seating area was very nice aside from the dusty fake flowers on the table. Loved that they had high chairs for kids. My husband got the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Which he said was good. Service was a bit slow but not annoying slow just saw us walk in and had to wait a bit to order is all. Very nice setup when you do walk in. Probably won't be back but my husband will. read more

Definitely over hyped. I ordered the borracho burger. It was ok but dry. Someone else ordered the classic and it too was dry. My daughter ordered chicken nuggets. The place is small. The service sub par. Overall nothing to write home about. read more

Absolutely the best burgers in town! Excellent friendly service too, well worth the visit.

After reading all the rave reviews about this place, I say myself, I says.. "Self, we really oughta check this place out and see if it lives up to the hype." I did. It does. One of the biggest compliments this place receives is for their burgers. Now, I don't consider myself to be a burger connoisseur or anything. But I know what I like. And I will tell you the burgers here taste as if they were crafted and cooked by a grill master most revered. I like the fact that they are clearly flame broiled because this means you won't have 10 gallons of grease seap out the back upon each bite. They use some special sauce in their classic burger, which...I can only describe as...sweet, but sour? I dunno. It was fine. I just wish I had remembered to ask for mine without pickles. That's another thing. Evidently, the menu doesn't describe every ingredient that's put on each burger. So, I'll tell you it's the usual suspects: lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. Also, the menu clearly states that all burgers are cooked medium well. This is interesting, but it only makes me wonder...could a patron request to have a burger cooked a different way? Or are they all cooked this way automatically in order to avoid a potential lawsuit? This is a minor point, but it's a question worth asking. The fries. Aah, the fries. They're seasoned with, what I can only describe as....the seasoning they use on Cool Ranch Doritos. At least, that's how it tasted to me. They're...alright, I guess. I finished all of them, if that says anything. Overall, everything was fine. Though I wish I had gone for the single classic instead of the double. Because now I feel like I'm having a food coma. Also, the decorum is okay. Though fair warning: the interior is smaller than what you'd imagine a gnome's kitchen would be. Ya know....if gnomes were real. Would I go back? Totally! But mainly to see if "cheesesteak Thursdays" is still a thing. If it's as good as one reviewer said, I may update this review. For now, I'm giving Chase the Taste 4 orders of fries with Cool Ranch seasoning out of 5. read more

The food and the customer service were top notch. We were on the fence about what to order but after chatting with the owner and his wife, we decided on the Chile burger and the brisket sandwhich. Both were 10/10 and their sweet potato fries were also delish. We loved the homey vibe and will definitely be back. Super fun addition to the Upper Valley! read more

THE ABSOLUTE BEST BURGER EVER! You have to give them a go, sweet potatoe fries are yummy too.

Hats off to Randy Garcia! The food he creates is simply outstanding! The Green Chili Burger is the best burger I ever had. The protein was cooked perfectly. The layers of flavors were superb! Every bite was a remarkable culinary experience. I paired my burger with a side of Carne Asada Fries. Once again, the layers of flavors were simply the best. Just the right amount of spice but not overbearing. The prices are extremely reasonable. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. I am sad I don't live locally but I will be back every time I pass through El Paso! read more

- Got a message from Chase the taste stating they have tried what I have suggested on my original post, and it is not necessary yet "Thank you for my input." So, I guess what they mean is that their customers waiting for a long time for food, running out of drinks and the actual restaurant not getting more orders because staff is unable to keep up with the orders is standard. They choose for the customers experience to be that way. Chase the Taste gets a 4.5 for taste. But, it was Friday night, they were busy I was hungry, we were expecting table service only 3 people were working in the restaurant the waitress/cashier was doing her best and... well, we waited for our food long enough that we needed extra drinks. So, I stand up, get in line ... wait, ordered 2 drafts ... expected to get them right there and then, when the sweet hardworking cashier/waitress said "I'll take them to your table." I sat, waited, ate, waited, we were done with the food, and then we she came by she said she was waiting to get the beer glassware washed. She went to wash them and brought us our beer. The cashier/waitress was working at 130% and with a great attitude so the reason I am giving Chase the Taste a 3 out of 5 is because this is not a brand new location which all of the sudden gained lots of costumers on a Friday night. It is lack of planning and lack of care. They need additional staff. A formal cashier, a formal waiter/waitress and a busser at least for the weekends. Not a cashier/waitress/busser for the whole restaurant. I get it, possibly their additional person called off, but at least on this first visit of mine I would have likely enjoyed my meal much more, ordered more drinks and even dessert if the staff was adequate for the demand. read more

Another road trip back home to Houston for the holidays. Stopped in El Paso at Chase the Taste. Absolutely must stop here again. The food and service are excellent. We ordered the Plant based burger with Sweet potato for Mt vegan foodie daughter, a OG boracho burger with egg, patty, chorizo, hatch chili, caramelized onions.. really good, and I had the brisket sandwich.. cooked in the smoker with wood. Excellent! Found a new jewel to visit again. read more

Chase the Taste - Classic cheeseburger, seasoned fries and Beer - New American Near Me - El Paso, Texas

We stopped in on a whim and we're so glad that we did. My husband said his burger was spiced great and was delicious. We both loved their spiced fries - and I'm picky because I HAVE to have crispy fries. These were some of the best that we've had in ages. I tried the pulled pork sandwich and was pleasantly impressed by the quality and taste. I can easily say it is the best pulled pork sandwich that I have ever had in a restaurant. I want to bottle up the BBQ sauce they use and take it home. I despise fat and gristle in my meat, but this sandwich was pure delight- it was moist, flavorful and fatty free. The coleslaw on top was fresh and crunchy. The sliced sweet pickles were a fun added surprise. The only downfall was Pepsi instead of Coke. We can't wait to go back and try other menu items. read more
