Green huevos rancheros are my favorite! Service has always been great. Very bright paintings of popular Mexican artists! Great experience always!! read more

I ordered the menudo today. It was served slightly warm. When I go to a Mexican restaurant, I expect my food to be served hot. Isn't that the point of dining out? They heated it after I asked them to take it back to heat it. The menudo soup liquid was delicious and thick, but a bit too salty. I love salt, but the cook added too much to this menudo. The tripe was soft but seemed old. I have had fresher tripe than this. I will go back to Delicias for their other dishes but not for the menudo. My mother's home made menudo is better. Perhaps Delicias does not make the menudo fresh daily? read more

The food at this restaurant is by far the best Mexican cuisine in El Paso. I love the Delicias breakfast plate. Service is great, and it's a nice, quaint location. read more

Delicias Cafe - Breakfast plate - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Hadn't been here in a while but when my husband and i were craving tamales, i immediately thought of this little place. Ordered 3 green and 3 red tamales with a pick up time of 1. Went by around 2, and they said only the green were ready and the red will be ready after 6. Not a problem. I returned at 6, and they were ready. Except the green were in really bad shape! Very very little filling and burned! Out of the 3, 2 were burned! Its also surprising because earlier they said the green were ready but not the red. The reds were fantastic; lots of meat and flavorful! However, the reds were for my husband and the green tamales were for myself. Well at least he enjoyed his meal! Never again. read more

Unless you like food poisoning, don't go to this place. I ordered the caldo as a starter and it had a small bug in it. As a main course, I ordered the chicken tacos. The cheese was lukewarm and the chicken tasted off. I ended up only eating 1 before going to the bathroom to fight off some nausea. The service was fine, but the ambiance could have been better, they had some horror movie playing. During the night I woke up at 4am to vomit 7 times in total. Took me a week to recover physically, a lot more to recover mentally. Don't go here. They don't check the food enough, clearly. read more

I usually am a take away customer but they always provide excellent food and service. And the place is sondang cute!

The service was horrible. All the waitresses were having a party or something so they were all screaming and hollering which got annoying. The food was disgusting. Beans tasted like they came out of the can, the enchilada wasn't cooked it was just covered in sauce and heated up and even the enchilada sauce tasted like it came from a can. There was so much water on my plate from the chile verde it was like a red swimming pool on my plate after mixing with the enchilada sauce. Rice was flavorless and had a bunch of crunchy bits. Servers sat at that table by the side hangin out so we Got no water refills. Worst of all, after I got home I wound up barfing it all back up. 1st time coming here and my last time as well. Go somewhere else if you want Mexican food especially at these prices. read more

I went into Delicias Cafe this morning. I was approached by a young girl who spoke to me in spanish I replied in English good morning how are you. She visibly got upset turned around and walked away. Leaving me standing the 100% feeling disrespected. I raised my concern with the manager who didnt want to hear any of it. There was 1 server who has seen me there many times who came up and apologized. I will not return now. read more

Food is always on point. Service can be slow. Ambiance is cozy, totally Mexican. All in all it's a place to come back to. It's very relaxing. You have to take like it is. read more

- Tried their lunch combo-2 which includes 1 chile relleno, 1 beef taco, 2 cheese flautas and side of rice, beans and soup. - The beef taco was good with great flavor, the added red salsa gave it a good taste. - The soup had vegetables and some rice at the bottom, it was fresh, warm and very good. - The chile relleno was just oily and bland; no flavor to it, similar situation with the flautas too, wouldn't recommend them. - The rice and beans were subpar, I remember on previous occasions these items were fresh and had an awesome flavor, but sad that the quality has diminished big time. read more

Our Tlalpeño soup was so delicious! Hadn't been there in twenty two years and it was just as delicious as it was back then.

Maybe I'm just being nostalgic of my grandma's caldo and tacos, but these items at Delicias sent me straight back to her kitchen. Wonderful flavor and a perfect combination all around. While the tacos and soup were near perfection, our family also sampled a few other menu items and had mixed reviews. If you head there for a meal make sure to try the molattes, chile colorado and enchiladas. Our other items: gorditas, flautas and queso however were better at other staple restaurants in the area. read more

I hate doing bad reviews but if I could give this place a 0 I wouldn't hesitate, don't get me wrong the food is ok but the service is rude. Me and a friend decided to give it a try, we walked in and NOBODY really nobody greeted us or told us if we could sit ourselves, we stayed at the door waiting we didnt want to be rude and just sit ourselves but no help. I tried asking if we could get a table everyone ignored us, 10 min passed. One of the servers yelled at us from the cash register "wichever you like" but she sounded annoyed. The table that we got wasn't completely clean, like they just picked up the plates but they didnt wipe it down. Honestly I didnt wanted to complained we just got a table. Once we sat down nobody showed up for another 20 min not joking, when the server finally arrived we already knew what we wanted gave her the order. At the moment of cashing out same issue, the server just ignored us 10-15 min passed we just left. Sorry not sorry. read more

We went here a few nights ago for the last time!Service in here is just poor. Sandy and Sandra have been the only 2 half decent servers, but it seems they rarely work. Rubi, Jennifer, they are all pretty inattentive spending their time joking around in their area instead of being out with customers to see if they need anything. The food: pretty flavorless. I found a chicken bone in my enchilada last time. Every time we leave here, we ask why we keep coming back. Well, this time, that was an easy answer... We won't be back. read more

Fantastic food great price friendly family atmosphere excellent! West El Paso location off Reseler, plenty of parking.

Very friendly, small neighborhood Mexican food cafe. Painted chairs and booths and lots of Christmas decorations when there. Substantial menu; most come for soup at lunch and a small bowl accompanies most menu options. (Clearly made from scratch with lots of vegetables.)Top notch salsa and in house made chips. Big breakfast menu; made to order all the standards rest of day, including huge cheeseburgers but all portions are generous. If i lived in El Paso i would come here weekly. Excellent service from smiley waitresses. read more

Potato tacos here are the best! Taste homemade and delicious. Their caldo de res is also a must have!

delicious hot food. they make everything fresh every day. service is quick and friendly. the furniture is imported from Mexico. beautiful and unique. it is a small place that has been here many years now. it does get crowded so if you arrive during prime hours you might not find a table or have to wait. we've been coming here many years and will continue too. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. Not sure why they charge for salsa and chips on takeout orders but it's free if dine in. Hit and miss with customer service. read more

This is seriously the best Mexican food in El Paso. So many delicious flavors and great service. This is true Mexican cooking and the menu has a great variety of options. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant!!! read more

Food was excellent. More like what you would eat in Mexico than Texas....thankfully. 'Tacos de papa' or potato tacos were great. I ordered a 'healthy' plate of grilled chicken and it was hearty and delicious. read more

So this place is super close to my house and have been a patron for many years, stopped going because it was usually super busy on weekends for breakfast. Decided to go this past Friday and was pleasantly surprised with all the new menu options...great food, great service and reasonably priced! Good to be back and will definitely call ahead to make sure it isn't packed!!!! read more

After seeing their ads on TV , we decided to try this place out. I don't know why I hadn't noticed it before as I do drive by there frequently. First, it is pretty small in the strip center so parking can be a problem, especially for handicapped. But once inside, we were lucky to find a table that was not next to the door. We were greeted by a cheerful server and were given menus and the chips and salsa which were very good. She took our order. I will say that it seemed a little long to finally get our order out , red and green enchilada plates. However, they were very good and tasty. I love the deep red sauce on the red ones. The green were good but not as favorable. I really like this place ; however, it is busy and there is no place to wait inside for a table. I do wish them success which seems to be already happening as seen by the many patrons they have. We will be back , just not at peak times. read more

Gave it 4 stars only because it's not like mom's but the food is great and the service was good. I recommend the pozole it was delicious.

Delicious food. Courteous service. Very fulfilling! Got to enjoy the enmoladas. Yummy!

Food and coffee was so good!! Nothing was left on our plates lol our waitress was friendly and fast

Anytime you come into this place, it is packed, which is just testimony to how great the food is. Their caldo tlalpeño is my favorite in the sun city. It always boasts a big helping of chicken, avocado, chickpeas, cheese, and veggies. Their caldo de res and caldo de pollo don't disappoint either, but I love the tlalpeño broth best. The rice is always cooked to perfection. I also can't get enough of their pre-meal salsa--spicy and full of flavor. While you may have to wait for a table, it will give you time to peruse the extensive menu with something for everyone's tastebuds. They also serve breakfast anytime! They're so busy in here that they hardly have time to pick up the phone, so plan to come in and eat because you'll be hard-pressed to order for takeout. Growing up on the east side, there were so many great caldo places. Now that I'm west, it's taken me a while to find just the place, but it is definitely here at Delicias! read more

mal servicio y la comida espantosa muy decepcionada del lugar. Necesitan mejor manejo del lugar tanto servicio y la comida.

This a very good place to eat, and it is very busy on the weekends unless you get there early. My mother in law, my wife and I enjoy the food and the friendly staff. read more

In this area, it's hard to find any place serving breakfast after 11 am. I came across this place on yelp and was pleasantly surprised. The service was awesome and attentive. I ordered huevos a la mexicana- the entire dish serving size was excellent, flavor was great. The salsa was delicious! read more

cute restaurant, food okay, red enchilada sauce is delicious and spicy, prices a little steep, bad service, there were at least 4-5 waitresses but moved very slow, unfriendly, no smile or hello, and kept looking at me my daughter and her child very suspiciously, but when 2 men walked in they were immediately helped and served, so I can see who these really prefer to serve. read more

Family owned. Everything on the menu is fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Delicias is my first stop when I come home to El Paso. I love their machaca breakfast, flavorful and tender brisket with eggs and fresh tortillas. They always have fresh delicious horchata brewing away. Tip, you've gotta try their Chile con queso. Can't leave town without it! Thank you for being a constant staple, Delicias! read more

I am usually reluctant to give a place one star, but for this place it is well earned. I'll hit the positive stuff first: The place was cute, the decor was nice. I loved the chairs with all the very Mexican motif, very cute. The beef veggie soup was delicious. Now the reason for the one star: Where to start... for whatever reason the wife always craves fajitas on Sunday after all the other Mexican places have closed. This was the only place open and nearby after 6p, thus we came. As you can imagine, the wife ordered a fajitas plate. We aren't overly picky people, but even I can attest to the lack of flavor in the plate, the veggies were barely cooked, and the meat had zero flavor and zero seasonings. They brought her one sad and lonely tortilla to go with it, and no accompanying stuff like the guacamole, sour cream, etc. She had to ask for it three times, and when it was finally at the pick-up window the waiters were too busy watching a video on a phone to bring it to her, so she literally got up and went to get it herself. As a vegetarian (most of the time if you read my other reviews), I had a really hard time finding ANYTHING to eat that did not contain meat or chicken. I'm allergic to chicken and it's not worth the pain. Usually at Mexican restaurants I can find cheese only enchiladas, veggie chimichanga, a yummy vegetarian burrito, or other items. This place had zero, ZERO, options for vegetarian dishes. You'd think a dish like cheese enchiladas, a basic Mexican staple, would be in a family owned restaurant. Anyway, I settled for a bean and cheese burrito, a side of refried beans, and a side of Mexican rice. What a disappointment. Even Taco Bell does a bean and cheese burrito better. The beans in the burrito where the same exact beans sitting in a bowl as my side of beans, with the same three flecks of cheese thrown on top. The rice, though I specifically said I had a chicken allergy, had chicken broth in it. The service was unacceptable. Our waitress was friendly and attentive when she was around. The two male servers were too busy watching videos on their phone to be of any use, let alone actually serve you. I'm not sure what the standard protocol for the check at that place was, but it never came to the table, we had to go up to the register to get it. So lastly, the price. For something that Taco Bell can do better, and with more options, the price was much to high for the food quality, and the service provided. This is my first "I do not recommend this place". At all. As a random side note: I loved the "Huevos Divorciados" entry on the menu (Divorced eggs). I'm sure it's a common enough Mexican dish, but I had never seen it, and I am not Mexican. "Two eggs on top of two fried corn tortillas, one topped with green sauce, the other with red sauce." read more

The yummiest gorditas I have had this far. Perfectly crispy and filled with delicious meat. The salsa going along with it has a beautiful spicy kick. Kept the leftover and had it with eggs next morning. read more

Whenever my boyfriend says "Do you want to get Mexican tonight?" I know that he really means "Do you want to go to Delicias tonight?" And like any cuisine, I have my favorite... a favorite that was established years ago and will never change (shout out to the Northeast El Zarape!) so while Delicias is good, it doesn't blow me away because I'm comparing it against my favorite. As an out of towner or a local that doesn't have a favorite Mexican restaurant (shame on you!), Delicias will be a good choice to dine to eat the typical El Paso fare. I wouldn't call DC a hole in the wall, but it's not far from it. The tables are a little interesting and appear to be hand crafted. They all have pictures graved into them. We've gone here more times than I can remember and every time I have the feeling of busy walls, but I honestly can't tell you what's on them so perhaps they aren't busy at all... they just give me that feeling. The one thing that I've learned is never wait to be seated. And this actually goes for most Mexican restaurants in the area (key word: most, not all). Seat yourself. Service is pretty average in my opinion. Not slow, but no pep in their step either. There isn't really a feeling of "Glad you came in today!", but it also doesn't have an unwelcoming feeling either. As Amanda C. previously stated, "...big portions you always have to leave half of the plate..." Couldn't agree more! I always have leftovers. Every time I've been here I just order the steak tampiquena. I know I like it and nothing on the menu jumps out at me as "Wow! That's different!" or "Oh, I need to try that!" The menu is the exact same menu I can find in the Mexican restaurant on the next street or the next one or even the next one. The good news is the price is on par with what you'd expect from any Mexican restaurant in EP. The steak tampiquena is a fine choice, nothing in particular that sticks out to me about it, but it's good. The sides are the usual, I just wish the beans came with cheese melting on top to give it a little oomph. All in all a good place for a stop if you're in the area. Portions are big, prices are nice, and food is good. And their salsa is decent too. read more

Midweek lunch time. Pretty busy but no wait for table. Cozy but light and bright. Quick friendly service. My husband was excited cause he could get breakfast for lunch. Always a plus in my book. Food was fast. Well my beef tacos were fast. The omelette didn't take much longer. But very yummy for a quick filling lunch. For $20 you can't beat it. Plus there were several choices on the menu. It is pretty close to us. The only real downside is no alcohol. Which of you are doing lunch isn't too bad. Clean bathrooms. Acceptable music level. read more

This is the first restaurant I've been to dine in since COVID. We were greeted by the friendly staff. Everyone inside wore masks. The restaurant is extremely clean & colorful. Our waitress was attentive & helpful. You'll also be welcomed by icons hanging on the wall. We were adequately social distanced between the other customers who dined in. The food was happiness. I forgot how good the Mexican food in EP is. The caldo was perfect, the queso fundido divine, the gorditas were on point, and the milanesa brought me back to the last time I ate good milanesa. After years of being used to eating mediocre Mexican food across the US, Delicias welcomed me home to EP with a wide table of excellent, authentic meals that comforted my soul & made me forget the troubles of 2020. read more

Food tasted good. The red enchilada sauce and the salsa had a wonderful flavor. The "green" sauce was cream-colored and tasted fine, but it didn't taste like any chiles at all. The waitress was pleasant, and while it wasn't the quickest, it wasn't a big problem. The decorated tables and chairs provided something interesting to look at. The parking in the strip center where it was located was quite inadequate, especially for handicapped. read more

I eat here once a week! Best homeade authentic mexican food in el paso. Their soups and breakfast items are the best
