    Shrimp a la diabla, mashed potatoes, rice and salad
    Leslie G.

    If you like Mexican style seafood, I highly recommend this local little gem! The food is excellent, I've tried several of their dishes, but their shrimp ceviche is a personal favorite that keeps me coming back. This time I tried the shrimp a la diabla, and WOW!!! I loved the spiciness, but also- the diabla sauce had bacon, which was something new to me, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I complimented the chef! My partner had the breaded shrimp and they were also very tasty. With every visit you get a complimentary cup of consomé, and some fish ceviche, tostadas, and an awesome green salsa. The staff is always super friendly, the restaurant is always pleasantly full and there's always some regulars ( including us). I recommend their shrimp ceviche, their fish soup, their fish plates (I've had several of them), and their marlin tacos. I haven't tried something I didn't like! Also very family friendly.

    I really wanted to give this place a four star. And to be fair, my wife ordered the tacos and she…read moresaid they were really good. Also, our server was awesome! If I were going off just that, I would give this place a four star, maybe five. First, the restaurant. We went there for lunch and as we pulled into the parking lot we wondered if it was even open as there were no cars there. Nevertheless, we got out and, yes, they were open. As soon as you walk in you notice the place is big and dark. Dark tinted winders, black ceilings and just not very inviting. It was super dark. Giant bar though. We asked to sit outside, although slightly warm, it was better than being inside a dark room. The outside was pretty cool! Giant area capable of holding 2K people, at least that's what the sign said. The shipping containers with the airplane on top were pretty cool. With lots of outdoor games, giant stage, and screens, I can only imagine how busy this place is in the evenings or weekends. But for us, we were the only ones out there when we came. Second the food. As I mentioned my wife ordered the shrimp tacos and she said they were really good. I ordered the Jazz burger. It was just okay. The smashed patties were not season very well, or they were overpowered with the bacon jam. And the bacon on top was not cooked very well. Yes, I do like my bacon crispy so I guess I could have mentioned that. But the bacon was super soft. Not my favorite. So for me, overall the food was just ok. The one thing I found strange about the food was how unaccommodating the kitchen was. I certainly understand when kitchens don't allow substitutes but when I asked for something simple like "no bun" for the burger they apparently gave the server a tough time. So my burger came with a bun. Which isn't a big deal, just don't like to waste food. My wife asked if she could mix match the tacos (most places will allow you to do this especially when they offer more than one type of taco) again the answer was the chef didn't allow for this (chef wasn't even there at the time). Now, is this a huge deal? No, not really. But a restaurant that wants to thrive and be well known usually will accommodate requests within reason. Not sure why this kitchen was so stuck on these things. The one great thing about this place was the service, and specifically the server. He really did do an amazing job even though he might have been the only one there besides whoever was in the kitchen. He was super friendly, checked on us, and even took time to just chat a little bit. He really made this experience as good as it was. What a great server/bartender. All in all, this might be a one and done for me. Off to the next. Cheers.

    We loved the key lime pie (e.g., photo of pie from night before at Manhattan Heights) at Manhattan…read moreHeights Bar & Grill so much that we ordered it again to go from their sister restaurant, Thirty5ive Bar & Grill, the next day. It became a special treat for our family while visiting our Tía in home hospice--and one of her last, most joyful bites. Food and our family's recipes are at the heart of who we are, so hearing my Tía Emma call it "magnificent" meant everything. While, we didn't dine in, we noted the atmosphere struck the right balance of upscale bar and grill on our two visits. Please note, this place get packed on weekend nights. If you want to eat here on the weekend swing by from 4 to 5:30pm.

    We arrived with a baby and the hostess immediately told us no high chairs. Ok no biggie yet my…read morewife pointed out that they do have changing stations for babies in the restroom which is odd. Expectations and reality were nothing alike. As we were seated our waiter took 10 min to great us and then another 12 min to bring our drinks. I didn't think anything of it yet it was a precursor to the rest of our dinner. After he took our order our kids food came out in a very timely fashion but our two orders of salmon and one steak sandwich took 40 min to arrive at the table. What a ridiculous waste of my time because my sandwich was missing the fries ordered and our waiter thought nothing of it till I brought it up then he took another 10 min to bring my fries. All this while simultaneously forgetting the sauce for the salmon which also took another 10 min to bring out. The salmon was so dry it was tacky and stuck to your teeth. If you know the feeling you know it's bad. The rice that came underneath the salmon was crunchy and way undercooked. All while the waiter was like oh I can bring you free deserts for your wait all while I could only think about how I just wanted to leave. I was internally livid and exhausted but kept it to my self after seeing the owner or manager who we the guy with the white hair over at the bar enjoying a few alcoholic beverages meanwhile his restaurants service and waitstaff to the worst possible job they can. I saw the people who got the most attention and good service were all regulars sitting at the bar laughing it up with the manager/owner older guy. Why not make sure your restaurant is running smoothly and food is being delivered and prepared properly and stop trying to impress the regulars who most likely will show up either way. Any restaurant that is this unorganized and unmotivated is due to crappy management. All this and the waiter is like I'll comp you for the steak sandwich with a discount for the bad service and salmon which was a whopping $5. I don't want a discount I don't want free day old desserts I want good service and decent food. Discounts and free desserts will never fix the problem because it will always be a crutch for trashy customer service. How about stop drinking with the guests and whoop that staff into semi decent shape buy some high chairs and make sure your expo does a once over quality check on the food and time it takes to get to the table EVEN if that means stepping in and doing it yourself. The restaurant is dark the tables are sticky the whole place is very compact . Perfect and quite attractive after 5-6 wines for sure. I'm sure the food is outstanding after a few drinks as well . They gave us a $25 dollar gift card to return which if I could I'd give to the owner so he could experience the same horrible food and service we did. I wouldn't even give the gift card to someone I hated. This was one of the first times in a long time I didn't just let it slide because I understand all restaurants and people have bad days but this was exceptionally bad. If you are thinking it can't be that bad think again it absolutely can. The whole "I'm sorry we usually have awesome service and everyone loves our food it's probably just me and my family " is laughable . This isn't my first time here while visiting El Paso. The food is getting worse.

    I read the reviews which said that this was a good place to watch a game and the scenery (female)…read morewas pretty good too. I had never been here, so today I decided to check it out for lunch. Glad I only spent $14. I will never be back. It's been a LONG time (actually probably NEVER) when I've encountered a wait staff person who came off as arrogant as the bartender at Cabo Joe's today. I don't drink, so I ordered a lemonade, and I asked her to water it down, "because they are usually way too sweet." She did. It was all downhill from there. It really gets me that some establishments whose income is based primarily on alcohol consumption treat a non-drinker as some kind of alien, and the only thing I can figure out is, that's exactly what happened to me today. I know the bartender's name because it's on my receipt. I'm not going to mention that, because it's not my intention to infringe on anyone's career. But if I would have to describe her attitude in one word, it would be "SNOTTY". She never smiled one time. I ordered two fish tacos. When she brought them I said, "thanks". She never said one word, as if it was a chore for her to deliver my order. She didn't even bring me a fork until I asked her for one. Everyone knows how messy tacos are......what was I supposed to do, grab the spilled ingredients with my fingers? I will say that the fish tacos were pretty good. $4.95 each, so $9.90 for two, plus a lemonade, plus tax = $13.98. I was done pretty quickly because I just wanted to get out of there. She was about 20 feet away, chatting with other patrons. She never checked to see how my food was. I had pushed the plate over to the bar and left a $20 next to it, but she never got the hint. I had to wave the $20 at her to get her attention. She gave me six "ones" as change, obviously expecting a tip. She didn't get one. Again, she never said one word to me, not even a thank you, and never smiled one time. WHAT a welcoming atmosphere. In closing, apparently some female bartenders with beautiful long brown/blonde hair down to their butt who are wearing a very revealing bikini bottom are convinced that their you-know-what just does not stink, and they are doing a man a favor by waiting on him. That's sure the way it seemed to me. Add to all that, it was 2:00 PM on a Wednesday. NOT BUSY. Football season is right around the corner, and I'm a big 49ers fan. I'll choose another bar in which to watch a game.

Also, strange seconds later said closed for pickup and delivery yet placed order at around 5:45pm. So, which was it, not on GH (despite driver showing there u r on GH), item was out, you didn't bother making my order, or you're closed for GH? Will not order from here even if on Door Dash let alone go inside. I can get nachos anywhere. And, I hate liars. Someone there lied to the driver.

I had no idea it existed until recently. It's a fun and classy speakeasy inside of Tin Man on George Dieter. They keep their location hidden on social media...I guess because it's a speakeasy? I think the concept is cute and fun. I almost felt like I wasn't in El Paso anymore! They have cute Japanese knick knacks and decor. There's only two tables and a small bar area. This is probably why it's hard to get a reservation. You can make a reservation by messaging them on Facebook or Instagram. If they don't get back to you, give them a call at Tin Man. They're open Thursday-Saturday from 7pm to 2 am and Sundays from 2-9 pm. Before Origami Sake Bar, I've only had sake a couple of times straight and...it was super strong. It almost knocked me out of my seat! This is coming from a lady who could drink Tequila like water. Those days are long gone btw. However, this sake bar changed those previous experiences for me. Why? Because they offer a combination of sweet and strong drinks. I had to have a sweet drink so I went with the Grogu. Forgive me, I can't remember what exactly was in it. If you like boba tea, this is the drink for you. It had a lot of boba balls in it. The Yoda stein holds a lot of drink and it stays cold. I was good with just this one drink. FYI: The drinks are not happy hour prices. My tab was $17 and change for one drink. I almost asked for a growler of Sangria from Tin Man instead. I'm not saying the drink was bad because it wasn't. I'm sure I was paying for the novelty of the stein and bar. The place doesn't offer any food. You can eat before or after...or bring your own. It would be cool if they offered Japanese snacks or cheese boards, something. Tin Man doesn't offer food so I guess it's the same here. Thank you for recommending Origami Sake Bar, Jenny L.! Thank you for also inviting me! :) Check it out if you get a chance.

Longer review to follow. Sake it to me El Paso! Yes... there's a hidden Sake bar speakeasy in El Paso, and it's gorgeous, along with my girlfriends that came out to check it out with me. It was a bit difficult to get an RSVP, I messaged them thru their FB page, but they didn't respond so I ended up calling the location which was Tin Man and they got me connected to RSVP. After that they were super responsive and gracious. We ended up having 8 ladies show up but at different times and they were nice enough to let us stay until the next reservation showed up at 10pm. We had a great time, drinks were strong and unique. Only things I would recommend to change are getting a better menu QR, it made you download the menu instead of just showing you, and not mixing the popping boba and regular boba in the drinks as it's a HUGE choking hazard, especially when drinking alcohol. I would definitely recommend this place for a cute night out or date night. They let you bring outside food in and we brought Riva's carne asada fries and nachos. Make sure you have a reservation though. Something new and fun in El Paso. Come out and #supportlocal Origami Sake Bar
