We celebrated my daughter's birthday last night at Como's Italian Restaurant, and it was simply amazing! We made a reservation, and a good thing that we did, because it was quite busy. The food was delicious and the service was very good. read more

Food is always good. Their lentil soup is probably the best I have ever had, and the Syrian salad reminds me of the salad my grandmother used to make. Prices are very reasonable, and they even have lunch specials on weekdays. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Been coming here for years. Normally, it's good, but this time the sauce was too sweet. Not the right amount of garlic or spices in the sauce also. I also got a tiramisu for my sweetheart To Go. He and I shared it for our afternoon snack and it tasted terrible. He said to me this mascarpone tastes sour, & too much expresso & kahlua. Tasted bad to me also. It was spoiled. Both he and I got sick. read more

Food was good, the only thing is that when you get the bill they add the gratuity in it. I thought it's only done with a big group of people. (6 more people) read more

Como's is an old standby that continues to deliver constient good Italian fare after a half a century. Be advised, it's a family joint. Not fine dining, the staff are college kids doing their best and the dining rooms lack modern flashy decor, but the team is the kitchen is well trained and supervised, and the ingredients are carefully watched by a caring owner. Also, Como's cooks the kind of Italian dishes that Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were raised on. Dark robust sauces, no skimping on the herbs or garlic, no "Modern Italian lite" fare in sight. This is robust and substantial food in large portions; have half now and enjoy the leftovers tomorrow. If you don't appreciate what Como's is offering, please leave it to those of us that do. read more

Charged gratuity of 18 percent with informing us for just a party of 5. No where in the restaurant does it state this. Not the menu or cash register. The employees don't tell you either. The bread was also horrible and my garlic linguini pasta was super dry. read more

Price change with no Notice. I will start by saying the food is very good (I will not lie), HOWEVER, beware of price changes without notice. I ordered pick up - two meals for lunch. Veal Cutlet Parmagiana which was 14.95, good price for a lunch, then I ordered Chicken Marsala (again not badly priced at 14.50) for lunch.... However, when I went to pick it up, I was charged 21.95 for the chicken marsala, when I asked them why the very different price, they claimed that price had changed and they could not update it on their website. I think that was a very bad excuse for not honoring the price online. They lost a loyal customer for 7.45. It's not that I could not afford the price difference, but on principal alone, you make good on your advertisement. Sorry Como, you will never see me again. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60768-d405142-r1008459081-Como_s_Italian_Restaurant-El_Paso_Texas.html# read more

Both service and salads were good. Entree was somewhat bland. Needed salt and pepper to get through it. But customers beware: suggested tip amounts at the bottom of check include tip on tax. I don't tip on the government's tax. read more

I've always liked this restaurant, but haven't been here in years. The food was as good as I remember! I had Chicken Jerusalem- it was marvelous, The chicken was breaded and pan-friend perfectly with a creamy sauce loaded with mushrooms and an artichoke in top! My friend had chicken Marsala and he said His was wonderful as well. I plan to go back! read more

Como's Italian Restaurant - Inside - Italian Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Love their lasagna....delicious. You cannot beat their lunch specials.....hmmmm. The service is always good. I highly recommend it.

We came here as a big party to celebrate Mother's Day and were very surprised and pleased with how quickly we were sat. Unfortunately, things went south from there. They place is not very big inside, yet, no one bothered to take our drink orders for about 10 minutes, even though plenty of employees passed our table and could probably see that we were visibly annoyed from waiting around. It wasn't until I got up and asked the hostess if we could be waited on, that she sent a bus boy to begrudgingly take our drink order. He was obviously out of his element at that point. Our server finally arrived after waiting several more minutes. Then, after waiting even longer, we finally got our food. The meals were decent. Most of my party ordered the Chicken Parmesan and from what they said, they were prepared well and tasted good. I had the Chicken Jerusalem which was swimming in sauce, mushrooms, and artichokes. It was a good dish but I think they could use a thicker sauce and less of it. Just enough to cover some of the chicken without having to drown it in the sorrows of what could have been a better experience. It had been years since we had been here, and I'll be years before we ever return. read more

We stopped here for quick lunch instead of Olive Garden. Their food was okay, but bit too pricey compared to Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill. The restaurant has no window. So every time someone opens the door, the entire restaurant lights up and felt weird. read more

Como's Italian Restaurant - a red car parked in front - Italian Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I've been coming to Como's since at least the 1980's, and it never disappoints. It has a huge dining room but somehow it has a cosy atmosphere. It's the perfect place to take your out-of-town family or friends. The menu is vast with everything from pasta dishes and pizza to chicken and fish specialties. There's even steak. I ordered the full order of spaghetti and meat sauce. The salad was fresh and delish, with an Italian dressing that was flavorful. As for the main dish, let me just say the portion size is huge, enough for two. But if you're like me, you're not gonna want to share. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce is so good! For dessert I chose the chocolate mousse. It was rich and decadent. I could have used a triple serving, that's how good it was. All in all, prices are reasonable and service was great! read more

Food is consistently good. Staff is attentive. It is one of my favorites! If you like Italian, it is the place to go.

Food was very good! We just wished it would have been HOT. Lasagna came out, kinda warm. The pizza came out definitely warm and not hot at all. We sent it back to be cooked longer. The waitress was super nice. We definitely wanna go back and try it again. This time we just hope the food is hot and not warm. Wasn't too busy either. The atmosphere was kinda dark but I had my cell phone to see the menu. LoL. We met a great couple while there and we hope to see them again. They love that place and raved about it. They noticed we sent back our pizza and were shocked but we told them it was still good. We only ate once slice each and went home and cooked it and enjoyed it. Also, could have used more sauce on the pizza NOT on the side of the pizza as the girl has suggested. So, if you like sauce, ask for extra upfront. Who cares if it cost more. read more

The food itself was not good. I got spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce tasted like jarred ragu and the meatball tasted gritty. The garlic bread had no garlic. It was just a buttered bun that was toasted. The staff was very nice. They seemed understaffed so I didn't expect the service to be super fast...and it wasn't. I will definitely never go back. The food just was not good. read more

Ordered through Doordash. VERY GOOD. I would have appreciated utensils and salt & pepper but I would 100% recommend. read more

Food is amazing, ambiance is warm and family friendly, and service was on point. Can't say enough about the food.... The creamy Italian dressing, the meat sauce, the Como's baked chicken and OMG the Chicken Jerusalem This locally owned family restaurant is worth the trip, EVERYTIME. read more

Ordered the combo and they didn't put the lasagna on but extra pasta :( We ordered extra sauce for spaghetti and didn't receive it but was charged for it. Food ok Not as good as before. read more

We absolutely loved the food and service here for our date night and are looking forward to coming back. We came a little later in the day, closer to close, but they still seated us and served us before the kitchen closed. The food was amazing and we all got to taste each other's food (so good!). They offered to serve is dessert even though we were the last table still in the restaurant and we declined just because we didn't want to keep them any longer. Amazing food and service! read more

There is just nothing and I mean nothing good to say. I was there an hour, ordered food and I the only thing I was served was the wrong drink. I will never go back! read more

For whatever reasons, this is not a restaurant that we frequent but that might change after my last impromptu visit. I was needing to pass the time and decided to treat myself to a nice lunch. I ordered the half pasta with mushrooms and meat sauce and upgraded my salad. My serving size was huge and the food was so fresh and tasty. The sauce was clearly homemade and the mushrooms were huge! I loved my meal and cannot wait to go back! Definitely worth a visit! read more

I ordered a combination pizza and a Choice of pasta, sauce, topping and salad dinner. I had the food delivered by GrubHub which got here within 45 minutes. At first look the pizza seemed extremely small to me for a $20 plus pizza. There were no utensils for me to eat my meal with and no napkins. Once I took a bite out of the pizza the toppings didn't seem to be cooked, more or less just warmed up and placed on the pie. There wasn't that much cheese on the pie and the bread is probably some of the worst crust I've ever had. No flavor, over cooked bread. So I decided to eat my custom pasta, sauce, topping and salad. The pasta was done well, it's a basic angel hair pasta. The meat sauce was decent at best I'd give it three out of five stars, I also got meatballs as my topping. Just like the pizza crust on the combination pizza this is probably been the worst meatball I have ever had. Honestly the majority of the meal really just has no flavor. The bread is plain, the salad was half assed, the pasta is basic, the sauce it's mediocre, and I would've been better off if I had not eaten the meat balls. There really was just no spice or flavor to any of it. read more

Last night was my first time ordering/dining here.. the service was attentive but slow soup was (heat) hot as it should be. Our meals arrived hot and tasty.. after 2 bites of mine I asked my partner "does this tomato sauce taste burnt?" And that it was.. that answered the question why the 2 men at another table returned their food as I did.. My question is if the server / kitchen knew the sauce was burnt, why serve it?? I'm not sure if I'll be back.. I certainly won't recommend Como's to anyone read more

The service was awful. If it wasn't that me and my friends being told how awesome the food is we would have left. The food was very good but as far as everyone else, they should be replaced with a professional staff. read more

My wife and I went yesterday to Como's restaurant. We enjoy eating the Baked chicken with mushrooms. and one of the pizzas when we order, we order half a pepperoni and half sausage pizza. The young lady cleaning tables was very fast and gracious. We were sat down, but it took forever. For the waiter to take orders, we ordered the Baked chicken and half-and-half pizza We waited and waited, and I asked why haven't they brought her salad finally, they brought the salad and a pizza almost together but it was half pepperoni and half cheese no sausage at all. I send it back and waited a while for them to bring it back and the pizza was delicious. When we were sure of the chicken, the chicken was burnt in one side and I had asked that I did not want the garlic and it did have garlic, not much, but it did have garlic. It was delicious. Also, I kept on trying to get the waiter because the chicken normally comes with an order of spaghetti. Yes, the kid that was cleaning tables and he said. did it didn't come with it, but I asked him for the menu and showed him that it does come with spaghetti by the time the waiter came we were ready to go. The food is delicious, but the waiter. I didn't get his name, but he's the only bold person needs to put a little more effort in taking care of the customers and by the way, my wife ordered a regular tea and when the helpers Give her a refill they gave her a sweet tea instead of the regular one and she put sugar on it so it was super sweet and couldn't drink it so we I didn't have any luck at Como's this time around, whereas we normally enjoy eating there The waiter again needs to take more time and listen to what people order thank you read more

I have ordered delivery three times. I find Como's food is great meatball sandwiches to ricotta and spinach pie. It reminds me of the Italian from up north. Fresh ingredients and yes the best chocolate moose, read more

I went in with my family of 3 to dine in after lunch rush. Restaurant was half empty and I was offered the only table by the door, which was windy and cold outside and you could feel it when door would open. I asked for different table and hostess/cashier told me that was all they had available that other tables where for larger parties (again restaurant was half empty). I had to leave as I wasn't going to sit my 6 year old by the door knowing that there were at least half of the restaurant tables available. We love the food here, however that is not the way to take care of customers. read more

I'm not naive in thinking that El Paso is some type of foodie haven, and as I expand my experiences outward, its glaringly obvious to me that local versions of ethnic staples are profoundly abysmal in quality. The city's primary example is this restaurant, Como's, which has been consistently rated as the top Italian joint for several years. If local rival Cappetto's is Italy's Giacomo Puccini, then this place is Tennessee's Rascal Flatts. What was supposed to have been a very basic meal, turned out to be a crucible in dining. When the server finally decided that HE was ready to take our orders, I asked for the spaghetti with meat balls and a dinner salad. On the salad, I wanted olive oil and a side of lemon. This seemed absurd to him, but he agreed. I was pretty amused to find out that the absurdity was in the fact that the salad consisted of wet iceberg lettuce, which, in fact, tastes like garbage combined with olive oil, salt, and lemon. I guess I expected something a bit more creative from El Paso's "numero uno" Italian spot. The spaghetti with meatballs were hardly any better. Actually, i think the dish was worse than the salad. The sauce tasted very much like watery Ragu, like they were trying to make the sauce stretch for the rest of the evening, and the meatballs were burnt and hardened so that you couldn't eat a single one all the way through. The chianti was the only thing worth rating as a positive although it was served in a water-spotted carafe. I truly feel for El Paso for what passes as suitable dining in this city. read more

Ordered "baked beef ravioli with mozarella. When we got the bill, not only were we charged the menu price for the item, but a second "baking charge" of $2.25 ! Not the way to win friends (OR keep customers)! Better confirm pricing if you care what you're being charged. read more

Everything Delicious ! Service was awesome. Will tell family and friends. Best italian food in town !

Went in on November 2 for my birthday because my daughter is vegan and she can actually eat there showed up about 6:30 in the evening and tables were dirty, the side door to the kitchen was open next to the dumpster- and we didn't even get a waiter to greet us for about 20 minutes when we arrived... this was a simple during the week visit to celebrate my birthday and they couldn't even service us, as soon as we sat down and asked them if they could get my daughter her food by 8 o'clock as we had already been sitting for 30 minutes they told us it "depends"...so we just got up and walked out the restaurant, seem dirty, server didn't even introduce herself... it almost seem like we were bothering them being there, it's unfortunate because this is a well-established restaurant, I would've expected more. read more

Food was terrible, terrible, better off buying chef boyardee. Total waste of money. Everything tasted like crap, reminded me of cafeteria food on a bad day. So disappointed, this was my cheat meal and they just ruined my whole week. I dont know how they got 3 stars cause I mean, I really had the bar set low when I ordered here given lack of real Italian restaurants here but damn, it was one of the worst foods that I have ever eaten, so pissed off I spent 51 bucks on crap, they make olive garden seem gourmet. Never again, total waste of money, how they are still in business amazes me. Wish I could give them no stars. I took two bites and gave the rest to my poor dog which I know is terrible read more

Ate here for my daughter's BDay. 2 folks in our foursome always opt for the pizza and veal piccata. They love it. My daughter had the orange roughy -lots of lemon and garlic. It was quickly gone. I had lasagna. Very good, but the marinara could be spicier. We finished with key lime & cheesecake. Both excellent. Definitely an older place, but quite homey after adjusting to the entrance which places you in the dining room and the low light. read more

Comos, more like No-mos. the food was lack luster, the service was good, but that's easier when there are only 3 tables with guests. Ordered Manicotti, and it both looked and tasted as though it was from the frozen aisle of a convenience store. This once great institution is sad, empty and devoid of life and love. read more
