They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, or let go of preconceived notions, these sayings do hold true... We ended up here simply because we grudgingly agreed to have Mexican and it was nearby. Not expecting anything special or out of the ordinary, we were pleasantly surprised from the mint we walked in. A very personable greeting followed by exceptional service given with cheer and gusto even. Our meals were chimichangas, burritos, and a shrimp plate - standard fare but it was all cooked to order and it was all delicious. The wait staff was very patient with us (as they have their full menu out in force) and the portions are large. So come with an appetite or be ready to bring some of it home. Truly a 5-star experience from the food, service, and all around welcoming attitude. I hope the little hicktown this place resides in appreciates the excellent Mexican food, served with cheer, this place is offering up. read more

Good chain Mexican food, especially for a low-key strip mall in Central PA. Went here for lunch with a group of five people on a Sunday and had no wait. Service was casual; we got some chips and mild salsa right away. The food is just fine; very large menu with all of the typical platters you get at a Mexican place (chicken, beef, shrimp; enchiladas, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas; some vegetarian and lunch specials). Portions are on the large side. The chicken enchiladas were particularly good; stuffed with chicken and covered with a relatively mild green sauce. We got a few vegetarian dishes (spinach burrito; spinach quesadilla; mushroom burrito). All of them had a lot of filling, so they felt like solid vegetarian options, though the spinach ones in particular were very salty. read more

I had easily the best burrito I've ever had at this place. I ordered the burritos tapatios with no cheese and add spicy tomatillo sauce and it delivered!! Everything was cooked so perfectly! My husband got the fajita burrito with steak and also loved his. Very unexpected place in Indiana, but we will be back. Very laid back atmosphere. Only complaint was it took awhile to be seated, and later on our server, Jesus, asked us if we wanted the check and a box, then disappeared and cleaned tables with no patrons around for awhile. We had to remind him 10-15 min later that we were still waiting for our check. That's my only reason for taking away a star. Otherwise the food was really good! read more

The food is ok.. not great. But not horrible.. gringo friendly. Love the alcohol.. Tina makes the visit.. read more

Very tasty Mexican food, and in Blairsville of all places! They serve complimentary chips and salsa. Chips are warm and crisp and the salsa is tasty. Generous portions sizes at a good price. They do not skimp in the cheese. Service was speedy, and servers are pleasant. I'd definitely come back to try more on their menu! read more

I would give this at least a 2.5. Hear me out, the food is GREAT! I went out with my boyfriend and my friend, we all loved our meals. This is why I wouldn't give a better rating... 1) The service was very poor where we waited without seeing the hostess for a solid 5-7 minutes. But when the hostest did show up he sat us right away. 2) When we got sat we didn't see our server for another solid 10-12 minutes. 3) We got a margarita pitcher and it was beyond tart & sweet. In consideration with the service it seemed like there was only one guy, maybe another person that was serving the whole resturant. But also, I feel like since we were a younger crowd we also got overlooked which is very upsetting. There were groups that were sat after us and were taken care of fairly quickly & before us. The food won't disappoint but the service might. read more

I cannot give this place a higher review!!! Absolutely wonderful service and food. Don't miss this if you're in the area!!! read more

This is by far one of me and my partner's favorite places to go. We end up there at least once a month. I've never been to a restaurant with such high quality authentic food while also serving you your food in under 7 minutes! I can't recommend this restaurant enough to any locals or visitors passing through! read more

This past Saturday I worked up in Blairsville and myself and co-workers ordered lunch, which I picked up. They had the food ready in 10 minutes, and everything was very good. I ordered a burrito, a co-worker ordered the vegetarian meal, I believe #7 and another ordered a side of rice and tamales. The only thing I would have changed was that when the gentleman too the order, I'm not sure that he fully understood what I was ordering. When I ordered the burrito, I wanted raw tomatoes and onions in the burrito and they put them on the side. Which wasn't a big deal. Everyone was very friendly and the food was excellent. Would defiantly order from there again. read more

While in Blairsville we got take out here because of the Yelp reviews. We got Enchiladas Supreme & were overwhelming disappointed. This was on par with Taco Bell not traditional Mexican or good americanized Mexican. There was no enchilada sauce choices usually offered (mole, etc)& there was little sauce on the food & it tasted like canned enchilada sauce. The insides had no taste. read more

I have been coming to this place since I moved from Greensburg and I have to say this is one of the BEST Mexican Restaurants around by far. Rosie is one of the best waitresses she always try's to accommodate. Christian always greats me at the door with a welcome smile. The FOOD is Amazing the atmosphere is spectacular. I would Recommend El Paso Mexican Grill to anyone living in or around Blairsville to come and enjoy the most amazing food in town! read more

Decided to take a chance on this place after living in Blairsville for several years. Went in with zero expectations, and honestly I was blown away. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and the food??? The food was SO good I ended up ordering a dish to go just to have the next day. Now it's a regular haunt, and I tell everyone I can to check it out. You won't regret it! read more

Awesome experience every time. Food is amazing and the staff super friendly. Never had a bad meal here.

Burrito Durango tonight for take out was on point--as always. Go support El Paso and get a to-go order during temporary dine in closure. Great people!! read more

Excellent food, fast and friendly service. Large portions and takes great. Great ambience. Highly recommend.

Excellent food! They have great selection and variety of dishes, they even have a nice variety for the kids menu, lots to choose from (which is THE hardest part!). Prices are good, portions are hearty, and drinks were refilled very quickly! They have very friendly and attentive waiters/waitresses, and we had our food in less than 10 minutes after we ordered. Will definitely be back! read more

Great vegetarian options! Everything I've had there has been great. Frozen margs are always a good choice!

Being from California, we didn't have very high expectations for this restaurant. Definitely a mistake! All of the dishes we ordered (camarones hawaiianos, camarones al chipotle, fajitas vallarta) were not only huge, but delicious! The servers were also extremely nice and refilled our complimentary chips and salsa and waters on the regular. If you like Mexican food, don't pass on this place! read more

Came here before 3 times, always had a great experience. Walk in tonight and they don't have margaritas? Or mojitos? Did they lose their liquor license? I don't understand how a Mexican restaurant doesn't have margaritas or mojitos available at all. I asked the waitress and she said something about the cooks had no lime? So I order the shrimp and crab burrito. Take one bite and the crab is obviously from a frozen container so I didn't expect much but it was seriously inedible. I pushed it to the side and asked her take it away, and then I listened as she complained about me to her coworkers. The manager took it off the check, luckily. I won't be coming back. read more

Great owners, good atmosphere, terrific happy hour specials. I'd say it's the best food in Blairsville but that's not giving it enough credit. The portions are generous. Definitely a go to for this town. Best Mexican food within a 20 mile radius that's for sure. read more

Amazing and authentic! Best Mexican food in Pittsbirgh area hands down!! A little out of the way in Blairsville but will definitely travel from North Pittsburgh to eat here again! read more

This was a great stop after flying into Latrobe Airport. It was tastefully decorated and clean. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The food was so fast which was nice because we had a bit of a drive to get home. The food was delicious and salsa was perfect. This will definitely be a stop the next time we use the Latrobe Airport around mealtime. Great Mexican restaurant...honestly one of the best I've been to! read more
