The food was decent, but for the price you pay, we expected the quality to be consistently good across the board. If you decide to come with your family, make sure your kids actually eat. If they don't, you'll still be charged for them. When we explained that one of our kids didn't eat, the staff went into the back to review the security cameras to verify our claim before making a decision. Unfortunately, that experience left a negative impression on us. Based on our visit, we wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

Food is decent, for the price you pay it needs to improve, the dessert for sure needs to be better. If you have kids, please make sure they eat because they don't care and will still charge even if they don't eat and it's not cheap. read more

Amazing breakfast buffet, great tasting food ,and fantastic customer service osvaldo our waiter was attentive and very respectful i love this place and will keep coming back read more

Came here for a good breakfast buffet. The first thing I noticed was that parking was crazy because of how packed this place was. Fortunate that seating didn't take too long. I had as much food as I could, and almost everything was fantastic. I had chilaquiles, entomatadas, potatoes (two different syles), I had an omelet made to order, and a few other items. They also had menudo and plenty of other things to try. I'll get to them next time. One thing I noticed that was cool was that they have a little server robot for the custom orders. Once your order is complete then the robot takes you the food you ordered. read more

Chi'hua's is one of our family favorites as it meets all of our wants. We're not from El Paso but locals have told me it's truly authentic. We've gone to both the dinner buffet and brunch buffet. The dinner is laid back and full of so many choices. There are tacos, steaks, salads, burritos, enchiladas, and so much more. Breakfast offers traditional choices and Mexican food, too. To top it off, drinks are included in the price. We found breakfast and dinner to be affordable and worth the money! Great service, great ambiance, live this local place! read more

I ordered 2 mole burritos and I got 2 nasty burritos with no mole all just just water coming out it . It was just all nasty all over me . I trash them Will never buy from here . read more

Too many people, noisy, crowded, obnoxious environment. Waiter seemed rushed. No thanks. Waiter acts like the world is coming to an end. $20 plus for a buffet? Way overpriced read more

This was a great Mexican buffet! Breakfast- brunch-tacos yumm! All the food was very good and fresh, a little pricey but includes fresh to your order made tacos and other foods, and a drink! The most impressive thing I saw was the robot delivery of your freshly made items- I was mesmerized! It would stop and make difficult turns and come back around if it didn't find your table! The only draw back for me was that no one that served us spoke English, thank goodness my friend did or I would've left. Otherwise- 5 stars read more

I came here on a Friday with my grandparents when my brother came in town. It was my first time ever coming but my grandpa likes this spot so we decided to come bring them. First when we walked in the restaurant it was a little smoky but smelled delicious. Our server Ashley sat us at our table and was super helpful and attentive every time we needed service. They have a menu for you to order food if you don't want the taco buffet but we ended up trying out the taco buffet. Great choice because it was pretty tasty. You can also get made to order tripita tacos or gorditas or anything on the made to order bar. The salsa bar is also great because they have soooo many salsas to choose from. Honestly the only reason I had to take off one star is because the dessert bar was not good. You'll have to order your dessert as extra from the menu. I ordered a flan and it tasted nothing like flan and had a super weird texture. I think I'll be coming back for the breakfast buffet or taco buffet again. Hope you enjoy my food pics:) read more

I had my mom's 80th B'Day Dinner at Chih'ua's on Oct 19, 2024. The pricing for 30 person set menu was very reasonable (they have about six different sets to choose from, our set had flautas, fajitas and tacos al pastor). They give you a private room for a block of three hours, the one price total includes the lunch/dinner, soft drinks and tips in advance. There is no charge for the reserving the room, which awesome. Hard drinks are extra but also reasonable. They also allowed us to decorate the room and have a singer for the occasion, and were even able to dance and have a b'day cake, you know how Mexican gatherings are! The only thing we missed was the piñata! Kudos to our server David as he managed the whole thing very professionally and efficiently, the management was also on hand to keep eye to make sure everything was running smooth. All in all, my mom's 80th birthday at Chih'ua's was everything we could have hoped for and more. The combination of great food, fantastic service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere made for a celebration that will live on in our memories for years to come. If you're planning a family gathering, milestone birthday, or any event that calls for delicious food and a personal touch, I can't recommend Chih'ua's enough. Just remember, bring a piñata next time! read more

Lazy Friday with my wife. Decided that some delivery was in order. Nothing like lunch in bed. Haha. Typical Mexican menu which i'm not always a fan of, but they had wings. I always order wings if they are in the menu. My wife ordered some chicken rolled tacos (can't remember name), and they were very good. My chicken breast was large and luckily, not dried out. There was a huge chili of some type and it was very tasty. It also came with a baked potato which I normally do not eat. But it too was good (especially with the green sauce). The wings were of average size and the sauce was typical wing sauce, but we liked them. The portions were large so now we have leftovers for later. The food was delivered in a timely manner and the order was accurate. Will try them again. read more

Chih'ua has been a pretty constant place for me to go eat at every time I'm by the area, I always go for the taco buffet and feast on their variety of taco options for you to self serve. Food is always really good and this last time was no exception, their enchiladas suizas, gringas con pastor and many more options are all great and don't make it any easier on me to decide on what I'll order. The only thing this past visit was that the waiter was in some sort of mood and the service wasn't great, could be better and maybe he was just having a bad day. Anyway I would definitely eat here again no doubt, price is fair, food is excellent and the service may vary but on average everything about this place is really good. Highly recommended. read more

I ordered flautas for lunch. The waitress was very good. It was a busy place. However, the tortillas were burnt. The rice was hard, lumpy and cold. The flautas were also tasteless. These are probably the worst I've ever had. Bummer. read more

Went this morning @ 8 am all food was cold worst service order a diet coke never got it served... Will never return.

Neta neta, la comida está riquísima. Los cocineros se merecen todo el mundo. Literal lloré cuando probé las entomatadas. Recomiendo llegar temprano para poder comer a gusto sin fila. The amo Chih'ua read more

Can't give it 5 stars simply because they changed the way you get the extra tacos and now you have to ask for them in the corner and then pick them up later. I feel that maybe your tacos will get a little cold if you forget to pick them up. Overall? This buffet is awesome, I love the staff and their super attentive nature! Their aguas frescas are delicious they have unlimited pozole and menudo (at least on sundays when i go) plus their tacos sudados are perfect. I always want to eat at least 20 but i can't cause you know i don't wanna die that early. Perfect round up with a great selection of "guisados" as well as delicious pancakes and oatmeal "mexican" style...so some delicious Avena. Their side bar is awesome cause you get some good fruit, granola, as well as salsas, fresh onion, cilantro and all the fixings for everything in the buffet. Definitely recommend going early tho and avoid the huge turnout of people at 11. read more

This restaurant is horrible the food is awful I took one bite and I'm ready to walk out so disgusting and service is awful never coming back and not recommended beware read more

It got 4 stars only because nobody's perfect...as far as buffets go, this place is legit. The food is delicious and authentic. I've made myself sick now from eating waaaay too much because it's sooo good. If you're in El Paso, you gotta try Chih'ua. read more

My go to spot for breakfast. 12.99 all you can eat Mexican breakfast. Well worth the price and the food tasted good!!!

I regularly order from this place. The service is great. Both my father and I enjoy the food. We usually get our food to go. I definitely recommend this place read more

Didn't realize this had a Mexican food buffet. Not bad for going to after Sunday mass. Highly recommend it.

To my surprise they still have their excellent breakfast buffet on weekends. Tamales, pozole, chilaquiles, etc. Everything delicious and authentic. Temperature checks at the door and gloves for handling food. Service is excellent as well. Look forward to next weekend. read more

Food needs a bit of seasoning, service (for drinks) was great it's a buffet in the morning, the place does get crowded quick and parking does too so get there early or good luck finding a parking spot. read more

Que cosa más mala. Menú pictures showed poor quality food/meat which was already a red flag; they also still had a breakfast buffet even though it was 2pm. I guess the good reviews are for the fact that they have a buffet most days and if you're on a budget that's great I guess but the menu food we ordered just an appetizer las canastas they were called and they tasted like the frozen aisle taquitos stuffed with some mystery meat. Just god awful tbh. Waitresses were really nice but other than that? Bad Mexican food. read more

12.50 for dinner buffet. Cheap cheap. Quality varies...but in my opinion it's gone downhill. All tables are full of sticky syrup, smells of sticky syrup...AND I LUV IT..WELL, NOT SO MUCH STICKY TABLES. waitress was very pleasant. The manager, she was a different story. ...she is an a**. read more

Nice place for a Sunday brunch , the wait goes fast the service was prompt the food was delicious!!! Very much appreciated the food experience. The chilaqueles were tasty tostadas drenched in red or green sauce with cheese and herbs. The menudo was the right medium of pozole and meat and pigs feet for taste ... and the beans as cheesy as they come like grandmas ! read more

Food was tasty. Alcoholic beverages served from mixer bottles stored in manager office. Wouldn't consider this establishment a Restaurant/bar. False advertising. I was quoted fees for an event. Additional guests showed. I was happy to pay for addons. However their would of been an abundance of food as it was buffet style. We were not allowed to take the left over. Either they re-sell or toss it in the garbage. Greedy and wastefull. read more

This has to be one of the greatest Mexican breakfast buffets. The restaurant was very busy but the wait wasn't too bad. Even in the rush the staff was on it to check up on us when they could. I recommend the tacos of Barbacoa that you can request with the waitress. Very authentic tasty Mexican food. The menudo was a little fatty for my taste but still plenty of other wins to choose from on this buffet. read more

Chih'ua Restaurant & Bar - What could fit on my plate for the breakfast buffet. - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

They serve lunch until 1pm, which led me to try their breakfast buffet. The food was horrible, it wasn't fresh and dry, bland, absolutely disappointing. Not enough pastry selection, the cinnamon roll was hard as rock, all the food in the buffet seems as if it were a day before. I wouldn't serve that to the homeless. I do not recommend the morning buffet food. read more

Use to be good food !!! Was just there this Sunday ..... and it was terrible !!! They served me a plate of tacos called the (la canasta)it's an appetizer plate served with six mini tacos two chicharrón 2 picadillo, and 2 bean ..... normally very delicious.... But yesterday they brought the plate and as I opened the tacos to put Chile and lettuce on them ‍... Two of them were just the tortilla WTH!!!! And as I looked at the rest of them they were smeared with beans only !!!! I called waiter to have them bring me another plate .... And he came back and informed me that they are out of the picadillo and chicharrón ‍ Waiter was very nice and apologized.... But really !!! Instead of the kitchen communicating they to him and informing that they are out of that ... you are going to give me a plate of folded tortillas!!!! ???? My husband ordered the carnitas plate, which normally they are incredible!!! Was half the size that they have normally been and they looked and tasted like reheated meat . It was so disappointing !!!! And the people at the front (Cashier) Have such an attitude.... Which they get from an older woman that normally does the register , though she was not there yesterday. That lady is very rude! And unpleasant to deal with, but because this place was so good .... We put up with it . But now ! As a regular customer, we won't be coming back . And we have many friends and family members that we will contact and warn them of the quality of service and food . So sad .... We really liked this place . read more

My husband is Turkish and he loves Turkish döner. When we visit El Paso we always come to this restaurant for the tacos al pastor which are excellent and the closest you can come to döner on this side of the planet. Simple, tasty and light. The place is always clean, service is always good. We have never been disappointed with the tacos al pastor. They come fresh off the spit and the meat is not reheated. Meat is tender and juicy. The cilantro, onion and pineapple topping makes it that much better read more
