Service was ok. It's mostly self serve Ambiance isn't much. The food, IMO these are the best flautas in El Paso. I only frequent this location so I can't speak for the other locations. They have the best sauces and salsa bar I have ever been to. I definitely recommend this place. I place it at the top of the list of El Paso just try restaurants. Simple for done well. Their desserts are pretty good too. Highly recommend the Tres Leches cake! read more

The food is great and flavorful. The service was a little bit slow but for a small restaurant it was fast. I did find the atmosphere kinda bland. Will recommend read more

I bought steak tacos, they didn't taste good, they had way too much grease. I'll never go back there, I even got a stomach ache.

Food was absolutely amazing, all their salsas are great, staff was super nice, very very clean no complaints!

My kids had the chicken flautas, my husband had the burrita and I had the alambre con queso! It was all soooooo amazing! The favor was 10/10. The salsa bar is stocked and cleaned frequently. The staff was very friendly. The horchata is SOOOO GOOD TOO!! It's a kitchen quick stood down spot right off the 10 and if you don't stop in you're missing out! Also the bathrooms were clean and smelled good! read more

Food was not very good. Bistek tacos were sub par. Al pastor taco was worse. Aguas frescas are from concentrate. Has been the worst Mexican food I have had in a while. read more

Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. This is now my go to spot in El Paso. If you haven't been here yet you're missing out. It's so good, I almost ordered a second plate for myself. read more

Todos Los domingos le llevo a mi mama dosis de cometa. Hago uber eats asi que voy en donde termine yo. Hoy fui a el de viscount y me trataron muy mal. unas empleadas me estaban ostigando que por que estaba agarrando mucho aguacate y mucho de todo. Y me trataron como una criminal y yo por orgullo le dije yo pago y le grito a la cajera, cobrale extra aguacate y no me deje. Le dije que no meresco agarrar eso para MIs flautas? Y bueno no me cobraron pero me hicieron pasar un rrato. Hable con el manager que se llama Chris y me aseguro que hablara con el personal para que no hagan eso. Le dije, si yo llebara mi tupper bueno pero no era para las flautas que llebaba en ese momento. Sera un buen tiempo hasta que rregrese ahi, fue en viscount. In English, the personnel were been stingy about the guacamole and stuff so I called the manager to complain. Chris said he will talk to the personell to not do that anymore. But it will be a long time before I go again. It was at viscount. read more

This place also great place for a late night meal after you've been out drinking! Overall it's a decent spot read more

The best floutas were maybe the best I've ever had. The service was quick and when I tried ordering in Spanish they kindly responded in English to make sure they got the order correctly. I will definitely be back when I'm in El Paso next. read more

Very rude staff. I love their food but will not go back because of the way they treated me.

Lady who works the counter, Lucero, is VERY rude. Asked for a different phone number to call the store, because we can never get through and she's very dismissive, even avoided bringing the manager. read more

Very good food. It's a casual little spot very popular so expect a line. The parking lot is small and a little questionable at night but all went well. read more

Flautas ricas. One of my favorites in El Paso. I accidentally ordered tacos once which were middle of the road. Order 6 flautas if you're a starving heap of man mountain like me. Heap them up with lettuce, pickled onions and salsa. read more

The tacos bistek was just ground beef. My husbands quesadilla was very mid. The cheesecake was absolutely delicious but the food food.. Taco Bell would've been a better lunch for us sadly. read more

Love love love this place! Not sure why I have never posted about this! Yummy! Small menu but great! Nothing is not a 5 star entree! I'm addicted and this is my favorite in the EP area. read more

El Cometa is okay. People LOVE this place and I think it's alright. If I were you I'd skip the flautas and order the tacos de alambre. My favorite place to eat in El Paso is El toro Bronco. You have to try El Cometa if you're in El Paso, but also check out El Toro Bronco. read more

Food was excellent! Service and prices were wonderful as well. Perhaps the best Mexican restaurants we've been to. We'll be back!

We stopped here on our way to the airport after visiting the area, and the food is good. Prices on the food are decent, but drinks are a bit high for no refills with mostly ice. The menu selection is not big, and I saw many people order flautas, but we stuck with tacos Al pastor. The salsa bar has everything you can want. They bring you a basket of chips, and you get your salsa. I highly recommend the avocado salsa. Back to the tacos. We are not from Texas, so we had no idea you have to assemble your own tacos. They bring you a plate of the meat you ordered, which is a big portion and then give you six tortillas, and yes, you do get six full tacos out of the meat! It is a lot of food for a really good price! You order at the counter, but a waitress brings you everything, the chips, drinks, and your food. You get your own salsas though. If you need anything else, flag down a waitress, and they will get it for you. It was a different experience for us, and we would come back if ever in El Paso. read more

Food is high quality, the queso is out of this world, and the service is friendly and prompt! This is my go to place whenever I visit El Paso. It's casual and a great place for lunch!. read more

Fresh and made to order! This place had amazing flautas - I got 2 beef and 2 potato. Our food came out pretty quickly after ordering at the counter. They have a salsa bar too and all the salsas were delicious! They ranged from mild to spicy. We sat outside which was perfect for a cooler desert evening. read more

We just moved to El Paso, so naturally Mexican food was our first stop, and this place did NOT disappoint!!!! Based on raving reviews, we definitely ordered the Flauta Plates, and if day it lived up to its reviews! After reading another review, I ordered the Gringa. Umm, this thing was not only gigantic, but it was full of the most delicious meat!! My daughter ordered theTacos De Alambre Con Queso, which was possibly my favorite item. And my hubby ordered the Pastor Con Queso which was also super tasty. The salsa bar. Where do I even start? The salsa bar was freaking amazing!!! Every single offering there was so good! I think the favorite of everyone in our family was the avocado salsa- it was delicious on its own, but it paired so perfectly with the meats. Yum!!! read more

I order the flautist and it was good , I was surprised to see how long and big they were , we went there right before the lunch rush so it was kind of loud , they have a salsa bar that is self serve and the staff that serve us our drink was fast. You come in , order your food and you get a number and have a seat. I also had the tres leche cake and it wasn't that good . I prefer Julio's leche cake taste better read more

El Cometa - Aftermath of Las Originales Flautas el Cometa and Tacos de Alambre con Queso - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I've lived in El Paso for 4 years and this is the worst restaurant I've ever experienced here (specifically the one off Viscount). It's not cause the food isn't good, it's simply cause the staff and the customers! First of all I'm not fluent in Spanish and practically nobody speaks fluent English there. Isn't this the USA, where the main language is English? Anyway, I've been threatened and almost ran over by customers, and not even by the employees! I mean the tacos are delicious but I spent my last $6 on some quesadillas and they were absolute trash. Please do not waste your money at this location unless you're prepared to be harassed, judged, disrespected, unacknowledged, and almost ran over by cars. read more

El Cometa - Google Maps Information - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

We are loyal customers since we used to live in Juarez, last night we went to cometa on meda an were greeted by a very rude black security guard who demanded to search my wife's purse and proceeded to try to patch me down as I told him no because I don't Want unsolicited and useless physical contact he began to be more rude I asked for a manager and he grabbed his shirt showing me his company logo and daring me to call them if I had a problem, I asked the cashier for a manager she ignored us then told us she doesn't have a manager and laughed at us, I can expect this from a bar or club but a flautas place on the west side? if you are going to have security make shure they are there to help not to start problems with their power trip and entliment, make sure to have a Mexican security guard that can work with the crowd you have, this male black young man seem to be racist towards Hispanics , thinking of going to BBB on Monday to get this sorted out. read more

Wow. This place blew me away. The flautas were packed! The amount of cheese and crema they put on these things is unholy. We also got the al pastor con queso fundido plate and that was extremely delicious. I wish they gave you more tortillas because the meat portions were just right. The restaurant was busy, but the service was still good. They have a salsa bar like most places in the area that serve tacos and it had good salsa. The atmosphere was very Juarez, which I say as a positive. I love classic Mexican restaurant vibes, you don't get better speed or service. read more

I would give it better review but their customer was horrible waited over 30 mins for our food. My husband finally asked where our food as people the ordered after us got their food (mainly the ones dinning I'm not the ones ordering to go) & the lady was rude saying she called his name 3 times but we didn't hear his name & we were standing right next to them. I was expecting tacos already made but they gave us a plated with meat and we had to eat the tacos that way. The food was really good. Just wish the service were better. read more

El Cometa - how many people have actually ate with you that weren't intoxicated? Lol Now Chicos Tacos is a staple here in El Paso, and yea, it's high on the list of places to go that is considered "drunk food". Now "drunk food" is NOT a knock by any means. It's a fact - people drink. People get drunk. People seek out places when drunk to satisfy that hunger and close the long night out after dancing (or puking) it away. No hate from me, no judgment here. Y'all do you. However, while Chicos Tacos is drunk food royalty, is El Cometa perhaps the drunk food king? Chicos is a one-trick pony: Flautas! By El Cometa is located in about 3-4 spots around town, their doors stay open SUPER LATE (after the bars close), and not only do they have flautas, but a FULLLLL MENU of everything your Rubicks going after chilling at Electric Cactus ass could ever want! There's no shame in being a drunk food spot. And if you ever seen the line stretching out the door at El Cometa around 330am, it's easy to tell that this place is literally the King of that category. Get that bread, Cometa. read more

Great late night joint and great prices! Just wish they didn't charge for refills love the salsa bar as well, and the chips are amazing too

Nice local joint serving authentic Mexican fare. The restaurant was clean & spacious w/ plenty of tables throughout & an assisting wait staff. I ordered the FLAUTAS EL COMETA, marked my chosen table with the order number, & went to grab cups of salsa & Pico de gallo. By the time I got back, there was a basket of chips & ice water waiting for me. Very nice & unexpected. The FLAUTAS weren't extremely flavorful, but I feel that's what makes this place authentic. You add all the salsas, Pico, & toppings to your liking. read more

El Cometa - Flautas El Cometa - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

The restaurant served delicious food. I have a couple of suggestions. First, your prices should match the menu you have posted online. My order of tacos de alambre with cheese, was $3.40 more. The tacos de alambe with cheese were also $3.40 more. its extremely important that your information online is accurate. The second was that my beef tacos de alambre with cheese, were supposed to be grilled onions, the onions were almost completely raw. Also, my orddr had half onions the other half was meat, a tad of green pepper, and a bit of cheese. I think if I liked raw onions, maybe it would be acceptable. I only like grilled onions. Using an excess of this ingredient, and trying to eat them practically raw, ruined my meal. The reason I know the quantity is because I had to pick the onions out from order. The restaurant is welled loved by me.I've always ordered flautist to go. This was my first experience eating at this restaurant. read more

The return to EP continues with us getting authentic Mexican flavor in this case flautas, tacos and quesadillas. El cometa is a business from across the border in Cd. Juarez, Mexico and they franchised to El Paso. The restaurant is located in a large strip mall area where there is plenty of parking. You walk in and place your order and pay. You take your table and go get your hot sauce, chips and other Mexican additions to make your tacos A+. The server brings you the food and its time to get down (Insert the song Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang as I take the first bite). It was wife and I getting our grub on again. She enjoyed the beef flautas with Mexican crema and queso fresco not US sour cream. The taco meat was seasoned to perfection and I stuffed that quesadilla down my big mouth come hell or high-water. If you are traveling to El Paso, this is another must stop. It's tasty, inexpensive and quick. Dear 915 peeps, take your out of town guests here first before Chicos. read more

I do love the flautas and you gotta love the salsa table, just hate that it's always packed but the lines do go quickly

I'm from the 956. That being written, I know my tacos. Traveling from Arizona, where I have yet to like a Mexican restaurant, my family and I were in need of some good tacos. We found it! You order tacos, but you have to assemble at your table. They were tasty , the agua de jamaica was great! We lacked the cup of charro beans we usually get at our places in south Texas, but they do have baked potatoes prepared with cheese, butter, and Mexican cream. Service was quick and friendly. Salsa bar has limes, pico de gallo, green tomatillo salsa, habanero salsa, and avocado salsa. They could have been spicier, but we could not have been more satisfied. read more

Perfect! Food is authentic and taste amazing every time. Been coming here for years, I can't find a single complaint.

Good food, service and ambience, and is open until like 3 or 4 in the morning. The Horchata is very good.

Sometimes, you just want a decent, simple tacos without all the extra toppings. El Cometa is definitely where you can find that - drunk or sober. Location - Located on Mesa near the UTEP area, there's plenty of parking but if you're coming after 2am (after all the bars/clubs close), it might be a bit scarce. Ambiance - Indoor and outdoor seating with lots of seating. They need it with the kind of crowds they get. Service - You order at the front and pay. The food gets out to you fairly quickly depending on the crowd. Food - Al Pastor con Queso and the horchata. Do yourself a favor and order it. It's just simple, delicious goodness. The taco dishes also come with 6 tacos each, so I've always shared with someone else. 3/person seems to do the trick for me. Pricing - Cheap prices for the quality and amount of food you get. No wonder why this place is so popular. Overall, it was a great experience and I definitely know where to go if I'm craving tacos! Just a heads up though, this place is super popular with the bar/club scene after 2am once everything closes. It can get really busy, but there's a good reason for this. Highly recommended and would come back! read more

El Cometa has the best flautas and tacos in town hands down. I highly recommend that you order and eat at the restaurant when the food is freshly served and hot (it just tastes better hot especially the steak tacos). Prices are very fair and the meat tender and succulent. My favorites are the tacos de bisté con queso. read more
