They recently changed their menu from fine dining to be more comfortable and relaxed, the restaurant name also changed -- however the flavors were amazing, I loved the plating, and the staff was very kind. The chef even came out to check on us to make sure everything was to par. Highly recommend! read more

I didn't feel well after the next day after eating here. I've tried aquachile negro and arroz à la tumbada. Unfortunately disappointed with both. The aquachile was too sour in my opinion and the main dish is really really salty, almost inedible. For this price point I was excepting a lot more. I love Mexican seafood but this place was a miss! I didn't finish my food. The service was average. Ambiance is modern. Not only was the food not good but I felt sick the next day. Do not recommend. read more

Really great tacos. Everything is fresh and homemade and interesting. This is not normal Tex Mex with velveeta. Drinks were good also.

Oh my this place has my taste buds go crazy!!! This place has such a unique taste in all of their plates. Each plate is hand crafted and very tasteful. I had 2 drinks, one entree and one dessert and the total came out to be $107.10 with tip. Definitely not cheap for El Paso prices but this place was very different than what I have been to. I know I could have gotten Slow cooked braised pork elsewhere for half the price but I must say this place is worth it. The only unfortunate it's a little expensive but I will def come Back! read more

Great service and delicious tasting food! it's the kind of place you'll want to return to again and again. read more

OVER PRICED for the amount provided. Probably wont be going back. Food items that are unfamiliar. Adult beverages over priced as well.

What a find! Passing through on the way to Houston, wonderful hand made margarita, tapas were just right - slight Central American twist on Pastor Taco, Volcan Asada and Dorado Tacos. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful culinary experience tonight. I was immediately greeted and seated. Chantal/Issa was my server. Extremely friendly and helpful explained dishes and unique ingredients. Attentive. I started with a shrimp zarandeado taco. Served on housemade blue corn tortilla. Good sized shrimp cooked perfectly. Flavorful combination. Next I had the Croquetas Gobernator. Crispy exterior with shrimp, poblano magic inside set atop a delicious sauce. Ended with Aguachile Negro. WOW flavor explosion! I have never eaten this dish before. I loved it. Right amount of shrimp, octopus, and scallops. Lime and chile left my taste buds happy and craving more. I also tried 2 cocktails both were awesome: The Queen elevated margarita Old Fashioned MX mezcal Elevated, unique Mexican cuisine you won't find anywhere else. I wish I lived here to become a regular. Locals come support this gem The love and pride put into the food and establishment shines. read more

As we were attending an event around the corner, and it was our anniversary, I decided to bring my wife here for a more upscale Mexican eatery. Key word in the last sentence is "upscale". The menu is small, portions are modest, the prices are not. The quality of food is very high, as is the flavor. You come to this sort of place for the uniqueness of the flavor and the attentiveness of service. It's a great "date night" place. If you are with anyone that is at all picky, best to review the menu first. As it was happy hour, we had an order of guacamole and it was fantastic. The portion size was small and because it tasted so good, and we took that as a cue to the size of the mains, we ordered another. The Serrano margaritas were also wonderful, however be sure you are cool with spicy flavors because they pack a heated kick. My wife is a more particular eater than myself and she didn't enjoy the food as much as I did. The menu is about half seafood based which she isn't a fan of. The only two dishes she considered were the ribeye (she prefers leaner cuts) and the Conchinitas Pibil, a pork dish which she ordered. I had the Pork Belly y Manchamanteles which is a mole sauce. I'm a sucker for mole so if it's my first time at a place and it's on the menu, I'm getting it. This dish did not disappoint; loads of flavor in the pork belly, which can stand on its own, and in the mole. My palate and vocabulary are not so refined that I can write out "hints of nutmeg, bitter chocolate blah blah", it's good and I'd get it again without hesitation. My wife thought the mole was a little sweet and I would say that it did lean more towards sweet than bitter, but barely. The Conchinitas is marinated in a sauce that I couldn't describe aside from being delicious if only borderline salty. I suggest taking that comment with a grain of salt as I am pretty sensitive to salt after having reduced my intake for years. The dishes were served with a serving of rice and house made blue corn tortillas. The service was very attentive without being annoying and at 5pm, we were the only people in the place. One tip on parking. You have to park in the lot of the restaurant next door as the adjacent lot is reserved for a business across the street. read more

Fancy restaurant with a different take on Mexican food. The ambiance here was very nice. Service was excellent and the food was delicious! The red snapper was especially amazing! It comes with a side of delicous rice. The flavors on the fish was phenomenal! Definitely try the fish! It's enough to share between two people if you get some starters. The calamari and ceviche was also good but the fish stole the show. read more

Been coming here for 2 years, love it every time. It's rare for both the front of house service and the food to be on such a high level, but this place nails both. Love Hector and his brother, and my favorite appetizer is the tostada de atun. read more

Absolutely awful service. No sign that says wait to be seated. We sat and got completely ignored by a pompas supervisor.

Let me start with the positive. The food is extraordinary, the chef / owner is in the kitchen crafting every dish that was sent out. I had the octopus tartare and the arroz a la tumbada. The octopus was super tender and the blue corn tostada was a perfect accompaniment. The rice dish was, hold on, better than a paella. It was spicy and full of delicious seafood.The service was great as well, very attentive and on their game. read more

This place is awesome. I'm not a big fan of Mexican food but this was more like gourmet with a Mexican influence. Everything we had was excellent. the guacamole with crickets, the watermelon and tuna ceviche, and hummus were excellent starters. The entrees were equally delicious, fresh and well prepared. Service was excellent too. Make sure you try the Sangria! I will definitely come back and highly recommend this restaurant. You can see the pride of ownership in everything they do. read more

The food was good. The wings were good. The beer was great. Atmosphere was very very good. You should try it out

The best high-end, made from scratch Mexican cuisine in El Paso, not your run of the mill offerings. Delicious dessert offerings and appetizers. From the moment you enter, you're greeted personally by the manager. The music is contemporary, and the specialty coctails keep you coming back. I've visited several times with friends and for family celebrations. read more

The food and service are fantastic. This is not the usual Mexican fare. The menu has delicious mushroom taco, pork belly entree and a fabulous duck breast mole with truffles. The menu was awkward and difficult for me to download so I only gave 4 stars for that but service is 5 stars! read more

Yo. This place is insane. Pricey, sure, as many good things in life end up being. I live in Southern California and have not had Mexican food like this before. Not to sound dramatic but the aguachile was a spiritual experience for me. They have a great happy hour (huge for me), and their margaritas are made to order. Hector was phenomenal, granted it was slow but still took great care of me and the chefs in the back know wtf they're doing. The skull pictured is effectively a QR code for the menu but you just tap your phone against it and it pops up. A nice futuristic touch on an overall amazing experience. And fwiw, happy hour goes until 7 and they have it on Mondays too, per Hector. Food didn't last long enough to photograph, sorry! Eat here asap read more

A small venue with enormous character and flavor. My part was greeted with friendly service and sat promptly. We tried a few appetizers, tartar de pulpo and some calamari. Both exceptional. For the entrées I got a cochinita pibil so incredibly tender and flavorful, I dreamt I was back on vacation in Southern Mexico. Be sure to ask for extra tortillas. Others in my group had the Mole Manchamanteles where they were sad that the meal would come to an end. Overall a great more upscale place in El Paso. Definitely worth it if in the area. read more

Omg...what an eating experience! The menu isn't large, but I am guessing after eating here that the goal was to offer less options and do those things extremely well. They succeeded. I appreciated the unique take on Mexican fare - the chef here is more of an artist. We came on a Tuesday night while on a business trip. The service was impeccable. It's a small restaurant so I would make a reservation for a weekend night. It's so cute and quaint, with very eclectic decor. read more

Let me just say, I do not EVER leave Yelp reviews. This will be the exception. I have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the country which were obviously great, but Conico is elevated. This place was spectacular start to finish! It started off with complimentary watermelon soup, which was the strangest thing I've ever been served, until I tasted it. Wow! I ordered 4 items off the menu and the quality of ingredients, the plating and presentation were all incredible. The attention to detail was amazing especially for someone like me who walked in by himself on a whim, in work jeans and a baseball cap. Everything was so delicious and the server was very informative and helpful. The locals in El Paso are so fortunate to have such a special place in their city. I will be back! read more

So enjoyed our meal at Conico Cocina Mexicana! The quiet, subdued ambience was perfectly calming after a stressful flight to El Paso. We started out with a complimentary bean soup that was very flavorful and awakened our appetites. Then on to an order of the Guacamole , which was smooth and creamy and just plain yummy! Monday night is all night happy hour, so we decided to try the tacos - and were not disappointed. Beer was cold, and wonderful compliment to our meal. We can't wait to come back and try a few other dishes! Thank you, Chef! read more
