    Juaritos Burger (double meat)
    Jeremy A.

    It all depends on your taste of burgers. I got the Juarez burger and it was decent. However, the add ons were a bit pricey. My burger and "Mexican coke" came out towards $20. Was it worth it, not at all. Their burgers are at least $8. Would I go here again, no.

    The food at Chelito's was exceptional! Every dish we ate had a great taste to it that was made perfectly and the presentation was awesome! Paulina our server, provided excellent customer service was polite l and attentive. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. We will definitely come back again!

    Cup of fries

    Within walking distance of the plaza holiday lights, the fam and me decided to stop by and check this lil hidden gem out. It was lil empty when we got but as soon we sat down groups came in...we brought the rush.. lol. I ordered the green chili burger. It looks like all burgers are double meat. My burger came with a cup of fries and I ordered a Mexican coke to drink it all down. About 10-15 minutes later the food came out and the burger was huge, big enough to have its own plate. Its was spicy, but not too spicy where I couldn't enjoy the taste. Food was good ambience was nice and the server was great. Check this place out if u in the DT area. Open late.

    We had a quick lunch here because I was craving a torta. The ambiance was simple, the prices are good (they often have specials), the food was good, and the service was nice. I would recommend the loaded fries and Mexican coke with your torta. Great place for a quick lunch.

    Flauta plate

    The food was amazing! We had the flautas, tacos, and cheese fries. The wait for food was a little long but so worth it.

    Flautas Order of 6

    I placed a to-go order for 6 flautas, a torta De pastor, and fries. The restaurant was understaffed and I had to wait an extra 15 minutes despite ordering 20 minutes ahead of time. They informed me that they had run out of al pastor meat and added a beef frank to the burger instead. The flautas were not very flavorful and were too oily. The torta had good flavor, but I personally didn't like the beef frank they added. The fries aren't very good wouldn't waste money on them. The ambience inside was decent, but I wish the service had been faster.

    Pastor torts, 4 pastor taco plate, and fries
    Ramon Z.

    Found this gem around the corner from our hotel. The place feels a little understaffed but the workers handled the rush with ease. The pastor meat has a spice to it so definitely worth to note. The bread on the torta was fresh and crisp. Everything felt and tasted very fresh. They do need a big menu above the register when walking in. Would make it more welcoming to first timers. There's a menu on the counter at the register.

    Patty melt with loaded fries delicious with a little spice

    First and foremost, I have to appreciate the cook and thefront of the house Joselin they did a marvelous job food presentation was phenomenal and the food was cooked just right as for joselin she has great FOH skills. I do recommend this spot.

    The food was amazing! Al Pastor Burger was my first, but sooo good. Back home the pastor is greasy, this was so perfect!

    Trendy little spot with solid options for lunch. Nothing comes small here; beware. Also, there are no diet sodas whatsoever and no iced tea. So it's beer, water, or sugar sodas. Obviously, I opted for the beer.

    heard about this place on IG and we came HUNGRY. long story short -- food 3/5, ambiance 4.5/5, service 5/5 we ordered 3 different burgers HAHA cuz were starving. each burger comes with fries and has the option to add other ingredients on it. we got the guacamole burger, al pastor burger, and the juarito burger. i would say my favorite was definitely the guacamole burger. i didn't like how the other burgers included just a slice of ham in there xD i like my burgers more simple (juicy beef patty with good sauces) HAHA. there's nothing too special about the buns or the sauces but it definitely hit the spot. each burger also comes with 2 patties so they are pretty big. the loaded fries are also not bad. crunchy crispy fries are my thing, but the fries here are a little soggy and unseasoned.... i loved the ambiance of the restaurant though! it's lively and not too busy which i liked. would come back and try their flautas next time!

    Delicious Flautas Order of 4
    Gabe A.

    Toss is a great quick stop for a fast bite. The food is good and proportions are plentiful. I think this is a great location if you find yourself wandering around downtown. The service is friendly and attentive. They have a menu that is sure to meet any hunger. I would definitely recommend.

    If you're looking for a brunch spot in El Paso that brings together great food, genuine…read morehospitality, and live music--The Junction Brunch House is a standout. I kept it classic with waffles, bacon, and eggs--and it absolutely hit the mark. The waffles were light, fluffy, and perfectly golden, the bacon was cooked just right, and everything came out fresh and satisfying. Simple comfort food done right. But what really elevated the experience was the atmosphere. They had live musical entertainment by Louie, who was incredible. He played a mix of hits from yesterday and today, moving effortlessly between country & western, contemporary favorites, and traditional Spanish songs. His versatility created a warm, lively environment that both staff and customers clearly enjoyed--it added something special you don't find everywhere. Service was just as impressive. Our server, XAY, had a bright, welcoming smile and provided outstanding service from start to finish. They offered great suggestions on local favorites and specials, which made the experience feel personal rather than routine. The vibe overall is relaxed, inviting, and very "El Paso"--a place where you can sit, enjoy your meal, and stay a while. Overall: Delicious, well-executed brunch classics Live music that enhances the experience (not overwhelms it) Exceptional, friendly service Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere Would I go back? Without a doubt. This is more than just brunch--it's an experience.

I arrived just after 8:30 am, but there was plenty of room. I got seated at the bar, and got to see everything. I asked for coffee, and it came quick and hot. Then i took a look at the menu, but the nice thing about the bar is that you can see everything that was ordered get prepped. I ordered a pozole rojo. It was a good choice, according to me... it was a lot of food. It came with a slice of toasted and buttered bolillo bread. It was loaded with more pork, than hominy - a lot. The server came by to ask if I needed a box. The Junction is a diner, with a railroad ambiance. Plenty of train station themes, I think there were a lot of clocks on the wall - but I don't think that they were working... or that they were on time. I noticed a couple of plates that I would want to try... the chicken fried steak, the biscuits and gravy with fried eggs on top, peach cobber side, the fresh biscuit with chipotle butter. It all looked good. The breakfast tacos seemed basic, but a lot of folks ordered them - they must know. There is seating inside, table and bar, and outside under the shade. I saw enough that I would return with Liz (...and the kids). I recommend, but I do recommend getting there early. It's a popular locale.

The concept is brilliant, Mexican and American flavors elevated. The boutique hotel is beautiful, a reminder to future diners to look up as they have flowy lights that go up and down (mesmerizing). I really looked forward to this place and wanted to like it but the service just dimmed the meal. We went for a graduation celebration and did not feel that. I do acknowledge that we show up quite late since the graduation ended late. We placed our orders right before the kitchen closed. Throughout the meal, we were not offered extra bread, a dessert menu, or even a mere "Congratulations" from our server. A kind gentleman who seemed like the chef did come to check on the food and congratulate us. He seemed to actually care about the guests. I would love to come back to see if the service improves because the cooking deserves 5 stars here.

Walking in, there was a cool flower art installation hanging over the tables, which was a really unique touch and probably one of the more memorable parts of the space. That said, the overall vibe felt a little bland and didn't quite match the hype we were expecting. Food-wise, the experience was a bit mixed. We ordered a ribeye, but it unfortunately came out pretty cold. We let our server know and he did take it back so the kitchen could warm it up, which we appreciated. The table bread that came out was also on the dry side and not very impressive. The spicy margarita ended up being one of the better parts of the meal. It wasn't actually on the menu, but they made one for us and it was really good. We also ordered fries, which were solid, and the bone marrow (called "Mexican butter") was easily the highlight! It sauce that it came with! 10/10 It was rich, flavorful, and definitely the best thing we tried. ‼One quick heads-up for anyone visiting: there's a nail sticking out of the handrail going down the stairs to the bathroom, so just be careful grabbing the railing on the way down.‼ Overall, there were a couple good items, but the experience felt a little underwhelming compared to the expectations from the reviews. Maybe it was just an off night.

For starters the atmosphere was so cute. Absolutely loved the bar and hanging pots everywhere. Such a clean restaurant and cute vibe. Our waitress was very nice and friendly to us. So no issues there! For drinks I got their berry lemonade which tasted just like lemon juice. I had to request for sugar to be added since it was so sour so beware. My food had came out and to be honest I'm just a little bit disappointed. The rigatoni was cooked but the sauce for it was really not tasty? Like there was almost not a flavor I can taste. Of course there was something but it was very plain and barely even there. It also was not spicy whatsoever. I added grilled chicken too and oh boy was that dry dry DRY. The burrata personally I'm not a fan in general so of course I wouldn't be a fan this time either but they gave a nice little plate full of it. They added some oiled toasted bread and it was way too crispy in my opinion. My partner got the chicken Parmesan and his dish tasted great! Very juicy chicken and cooked all the way. The sauce was perfect too nice and flavorful and great pairing with the chicken. His butter noodles were just like regular butter noodles so not bad. Finally the crème brûlée. Probably the most disappointing dish we ordered. It took repeated stabs to break the sugar glaze on top. Me and my partner were honestly thinking that they added the cream on top to hide how burnt it was actually. Unfortunately because the glaze was so thick and burnt it made the rest of the cream taste have the burnt flavor. It was sad because my partner was looking forward to this desert. Also took wayyy longer to arrive than our entrées. I will say that the waitress was very helpful and she actually covered the crème Brulé. I didn't even ask she just offered, I think she could tell that we didn't enjoy it and I had nicely told her it wasn't what we were expecting so thank you sincerely. Overall I think this is a perfect spot to maybe try drinks and hang with friends. Food was okay, wouldn't try it again in that regard but overall a decent spot here in El Paso if you're looking for something new. Maybe best to ask what's their best dish to serve. Overall thank you.

The food was absolutely amazing -- everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. You could tell a lot of care went into both the menu and presentation. What really stood out, though, was how attentive and genuinely kind our server was throughout the evening. Even with how busy El Paso was that weekend, we never felt rushed or overlooked. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and it ended up being one of our favorite dining experiences of the trip. If I return to El Paso in the future, Neighbor Good Kitchen & Bar will definitely be on my list of places to visit again.
