I could say so much for you to believe me, and it honestly starts with the speedy (and kind) service, flavorful profiles and the pricing! My first visit I just simply couldn't believe it. Each visit, I try something new and I must say that I'm hooked on the Jamaica Margarita (with the tajin rim), and the pork shoulder taco, as well as the chicken taco! The Baja shrimp taco is also in my top 3! The staff is kind, energetic and will remember you; not just from personal experience but from my observations as well. Service is fast, food is hot and it's a great place to be! There is no wi-fi, but it is a FUN and engaging place for sure! I'd recommend a bar seat if you're lucky Warning: You may leave planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill.

With their recent expansion, the experience is even better. There's plenty more room for everyone to enjoy their delicious tacos without feeling crowded. As someone originally from Los Angeles, I can honestly say these are the closest tacos I've found to authentic LA-style tacos. It's been difficult to find that same flavor here in El Paso, but this place absolutely delivers. The salsa bar is another highlight and never disappoints. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with the tacos. Don't be surprised if it's busy when you visit, that's usually a great sign. The crowds are there for a reason: the food is consistently delicious and well worth the wait.

My dad and I ordered 8 tacos total (4 al pastor and 4 asada) for $15.50 which came with complimentary chips and condiments. The salsa rojo/verde, lime, and cilantro all gave an authentic taste to the tacos.

Pastor tasted wonderful; asada was decent but a little dry. It saddened me to see an empty shop on a Wednesday afternoon. The lady that took my order was very sweet.

Good experience, great tacos…read more Noah practices on this side of town, and I've always wanted to try this location. We beat the Thursday dinner rush and had the entire place to ourselves. Liz ordered my typical quesobirria tacos (x3), which were delicious. Also, the marzapan horchata was different but also pleasantly refreshing. I think I still like strawberry horchata, and pistachio the best. Noah gobbled up his carne asada tacos. Liz enjoyed a barbacoa costra taco. I thought my tacos were good, but I wanted to try a carnitas costra taco. Noah like it so much he took some. Compared to the location the West side, the Zarzamora location has a lot of space. Just like the other place, this El Beso has as much character. As we finished, four more groups came in. The service was friendly. When I needed more onions and cilantro, or ice, or something else, I got it. No issues. I recommend.

I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot in El Paso.

I believe there is waiter service at the tables, but I just ordered from the counter so I'm not sure of that. The portion of my quesadilla was enormous. It ended up being both my lunch and my dinner. (To be candid, I probably wasn't that hungry when it came to dinner, but at the time I couldn't find the refrigerator in my hotel room, and I didn't want the leftovers to go to waste. Turned out the refrigerator was under the bathroom sink. WTF.) There was a lot of chicken in the quesadilla, and I really enjoyed it. I had intended to order a pastry along with my quesadilla, but because of language barriers, that part of the order got lost and I didn't get the pastry (nor was I charged for it). That's just as well. I definitely didn't need anything extra. I don't spend a lot of time in El Paso and there are multiple lunch options.

I wanted comfort food and G&R usually does that really well. From the time I walked in, the vibe was off. The FOH (I think the manager or one of the owners) seemed annoyed that I had one in. We're still at about an hour from close, I figured a little extra business on a yucky day might be good. I ended up ordering the mole plate, but that wasn't wise. Nothing that came out was at temp other that the sala. The shredded chicken was almost refrigerator cool to the touch. I get that it's normal to keep the shredded chicken ready and safe to prepare, but by the time I mixed the cold chicken and the warm mole sauce (which tasted like it was straight from a Doña Maria container) it was a barely room temperature. Likewise, the beans and rice were also room temp. I heard the kitchen bell when my food was ready, so there was only a short delay before it got to the table. The chips and table salsa were great (as usual), but I sit here writing this review with my stomach feeling a little uneasy over the food temps.
