    I discovered El Cometa in 2019 through a friend, and it quickly became one of my favorite places to…read moreeat whenever I am in El Paso. Looking back, El Cometa is what started my taco obsession. Their tacos al pastor con queso are so good. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned, a little greasy in the best way, and topped with melted cheese. One thing I love is their salsa bar. I always grab the red salsa, green salsa, and guacamole. I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible. Last summer, the hostess recognized me right away and seated me immediately. She even remembered my order. I order the exact same thing every visit: tacos and two cans of Sprite. The fact that she has been there since I first started coming in 2019 makes every visit feel like coming home. From 2019 until I moved away in 2022, I went there almost every week. To eat here, everyone lines up at the cashier to place an order, but somehow I always felt like royalty. The staff knew me, and every visit felt welcoming. El Cometa never disappoints. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and every visit reminds me why I fell in love with tacos in the first place.

While you wait you can go to the salsa bar which has a good variety. I'm always a sucker for green sauce and both green sauce were my favorites one mild one a little spicy. Service was quick. Food was decent. First and second menu items were our choices. The tacos al pastor were great, decent amount of meat on the tacos and flavorful. Flautas are more like taquitos very crunchy on the outside and the meat was tender. Price is affordable.

The menudo was good, it had good portions of both pozole and carnitas. The broth was very flavorful and not spicy at all. In my opinion, it would've been perfect if it were to have been spicy! I purchased two big cups to go and each one came with one bread, a little packet of crushed red pepper and one of oregano, a spoon and some napkins. They missed the onion. The barbacoa was good, not greasy at all and had really good flavor. I purchased half a pound and it came with 4 corn tortillas, 2 little plastic containers with onion mixed with cilantro, a little container of red salsa, which was good and spicy! The pan dulce was really good and tasty! The francesito bread was good, I think this bread tastes the same everywhere you get it. Highly recommend this bakery! The service was good, I showed up and nobody was there. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The place was remodeled and they did a really good job considering the previous bakery that was there. Looking forward to trying their other food options.

    Typical business trip to El Paso and had a couple hours before heading to the airport. My co-worker…read morehad been here before and insisted on trying this again. It's a little hard to find tucked back in a little strip center. The inside is interesting decor with different theme walls. What was nice is that the staff was very friendly. It was close to closing time so we ordered fast and got our chips and salsa quickly. Loved the homemade chips and that they were still warm. Salsa was ok. I liked my fajitas but I wasn't as blown away with the taste as my co-worker. I had a few pieces of meat that had grizzle when I bit into them. It wasn't as seasoned as I was hoping too. The beans and rice were ok but didn't appear scratch made.

    Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle. It's got heat as it's also creamy...I would call it medium (I like spicy food.) If you're getting them to go, you might want the sauce and toppings on the side. They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

    Palenque Grill became one of my family's favorite restaurants…read more When you get sat down, they bring you some salsa, beans & tostadas to start off. They are so delicious, it is probably my favorite part! As an appetizer we always get the elote botanero, they are always a hit! We've tried a lot of items from the menu such as the arrachera, the chile relleno, costillas Palenque, Pollo Chipotle. Literally EVERYTHING has been so amazing. The service is always great, from the hostess to our servers and even the managers who always seem to be out on the floor making sure everything runs smoothly. I love the atmosphere. It feels so elegant, as if you are in a very high-end restaurant. However, the prices are very accessible. We've gone on several occasions like Valentines week, Mother's Day Week, and they always have amazing decorations, perfect for pictures! Palenque will always be a restaurant I recommend! Definitely try it if you haven't already!

For sure order the queso fundido as an appetizer - it is cheesy goodness! Sangria and margaritas were balanced and refreshing. Main dishes were filling, and the grilled vegetables that accompanied most plates were spectacular. This is a large space, yet seating is cozy and it is easy to hear the other people at your table. Service is attentive and helpful.
