    Combo #4. Light and Airy, very filling and absolutely delicious like their name implies
    TJ V.

    As soon as I land in ELP I go straight to Delicious. The Gorditas are amazing. The staff as super friendly and patient with it's customers. And the ambiance is no frills just here for the food.

    A lunch special!
    Dang N.

    This place is really solid. I came in for the lunch special and it's really solid especially for the price point. They also give military discounts. Place is spacious with another open room next to the entrance and the people are really friendly. Another thing I really liked was the fact that you can swap out anything for anything on the lunch special.

    I'm not going to do a play on words about how delicious Delicious is, but if anyone has the confidence to name their restaurant so boldly, obviously they have some kind talent in the kitchen or at least a book of amazing secret family recipes. If you grew up in the Northeast and don't know what Delicious is, just know that all of your street cred has just been revoked. You need to go home and have a serious conversation with your parents, educate them on how deprived your childhood was, have a cry, sell the story to Oprah, and live off the royalties. The burritos are my favorite, specifically the Chille Relleno. Once someone told me, they had, had a better Chile Relleno burrito and I immediately set my burrito down and demanded the location of such a place. After I repeated, "Where, where, where? WHERE? WHERE?!? Hmmmm...where is this magical place that you just made up because you are simply trying to one up my on point food scouting skills?" for a good five minutes, I came to the conclusion that such a place does not exist. Delicious is the end all, be all. If the owner got to cook with Julia freakin' Child, she has to know what she's doing in the kitchen. I don't know about you, but Julia Child never cooked with me while she was alive...probably because I'm just a measly commoner trying to recreate dishes I see on Iron Chef. I recommend eating in now that they've expanded this location and for the mere fact that chips and salsa are included. It really doesn't take that long to get your food because they do make a majority of the main ingredients in the dishes throughout the day (which most restaurants do as well...you can't really think that slow cooked roast is made in 20 minutes). Delicious has a consistent amount of patrons throughout the day so the food is fresh. This Delicious is definitely a staple of El Paso and where I love sending people when they ask for a good Mexican meal. The only thing is service could use a boost. It's not bad, just not as helpful and fast as I like. But I can look past my personal preference for the food. Go, go now!

    Brisket burrito with avocado
    Celina M.

    I was sooo sad that I went to delicious, but my burrito was not delicious :(. The burrito looked great and was super juicy and they gave a great portion of avocado worth the extra $0.59. I ordered a brisket burrito and it had no flavor whatsoever. Like I said, it was super juicy it just needed more seasoning or that sauce that's used for brisket. The tortilla was good, very fresh. This was my first time trying this restaurant so I may give it another try in the future but I may just stick to bean and cheese or something else. Customer service was great, I ordered to go. They told me it would be ready in 15-20 mins so I got there in 15 mins and my burrito was a little cold. I'm sure it's just because they were super busy so I won't let this be my last visit, this place is always busy so I'm sure it's busy for a reason.

    Gorditas
    Ana M.

    Visiting from Phoenix and this place was a "must eat at" The gorditas did not disappoint, they were 'delicious'!! Will definitely be back in November for thanksgiving.

    I think the hype surrounding the place did it a disservice. As a stand-alone Mexican eatery, it does a great job. When advertised as one of the bet burritos in the country, and only one listed in El Paso, it had a pretty high bar. I got the famous Chile Relleno burrito, the chicharron burrito, and the classic been burrito. They gave a lot more food than what they're charging, so that's a plus. I guess you have to really be comfortable with a chicharron burrito well before you should order one. I'm sure that on a scale of the best of these, this one would be it. My experience as a Midwesterner who spent the last 8 years throughout the southeast did not prepare me for this, and thus was a bust. The Chile Relleno, although looked like it was prepped very well, didn't really have much of a wow factor to it. Disappointing as this is supposed to be the big selling item. Nice place, nice people, but unfortunately for me, mediocre food.

My friend had the mole item and felt it was way too sweet/cocoa on it. Overall I would've wanted to try the other machaca items and other things. The vibe is very homely and chill, bit of a hole in the wall atmosphere.

I had just flown in from the airport, and my brother arranged it as a special family gathering. Everything started normally: we were seated, ordered our food, received our drinks, and enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Then my sister (who is LGBTQ+) stepped away to use the restroom. When she returned and sat down, a manager approached our table and loudly told her--in front of other diners--that "MEN cannot use the female restroom." My sister was mortified and humiliated by the public confrontation. The manager's tone and assumption were shocking and clearly discriminatory. We immediately got up and left without eating. This wasn't about enforcing any legitimate policy; it was rude, insensitive, and targeted. My adult sister is perfectly capable of reading the restroom signs herself--no one needed to police or shame her in such a way. The incident felt rooted in homophobia and transphobia from management. We will never return to this place, and we will actively discourage others--especially LGBTQ+ individuals and allies--from patronizing it. What should have been a joyful family milestone was ruined by bigotry. Avoid this establishment if you value respect and inclusivity.

Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here. What you get is a good amount of decent food at a good price served by great people.

Had multiple thousand Google reviews and they were all close to five stars. So I knew I had to check it out. It was super close to my hotel, so I popped in the car and found it without trouble. Trouble. Again, there is pretty limited parking so it's kind of hit and miss whether you'll find a spot or not. Fortunately, I did. When you walk up to the place, the building itself is pretty nondescript. They have a nice selection of outside seating, and your window to order is outside. Very nice lady at the counter gave me helpful suggestions and so I ordered three tacos and an amazing lime and cucumber fresca. Went in and sat down inside and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It definitely had more of an upscale bar vibe to it than a Taco shop. The waiter that brought out my tacos told me that it turns into more of a nightclub after hours. I may have to go check that out. The tacos themselves were absolutely off the chain! The tortillas were blue corn and everything on it tasted so fresh and so wonderful. The carnitas was fantastic, the brisket Taco was to die for and the blackened shrimp Taco was one of the best I've ever had. Had. The flavors were so balanced and on point, it was one of the most satisfying taco experiences I have had!! I will probably hit this place up a couple more times before I leave El Paso. If you are in El Paso, you probably already know about this place. But I'm telling you what you cannot go wrong for tacos and that lime/ cucumber fresca! Bottom line? It's about 10 hours drive from Las Vegas to El Paso. And this Taco shop will give me a great reason to do a road trip anytime. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out!
