I stumbled into here on my way to visit a friend near by. They do 2 for 1 margaritas from 11-7 I think it is! They were pretty good on taste and strength They do do the beans and salsa with chips, I think second serving is $5? Their salsa wasn't my favorite, I like it more chunky, but still pretty good and not too spicy at all. We also got the queso and that was good too. My daughter got the kids burrito that came with beans and rice. I got the burger and that's came with fries and like the burger dressing on the side which included avocado which was nice. The adult burger isn't listed on the menu but it is available. A solid experience and I can definitely see us coming back to try some other things. We sat outside and the music and weather were great. Not overran by flies at all lol. read more

This was my first time trying Tex-Mex, and I was pleasantly surprised! Being from California, I'm definitely a little spoiled when it comes to Mexican food, so I was skeptical when I DoorDashed this to my hotel room after a long day of exploring New Orleans. I ordered the nachos, a quesadilla, and an avocado taco. The food was pretty solid! I still definitely prefer California Mexican food, but this is a solid spot if you're craving Mexican food. The tortilla was crispy, and the beans were flavorful. read more

I walked all the way there on Cinco de mayo to get some takeout. All I wanted was rice and beans. Easy. And they refused to sell them to me. It's not even something that has to be prepared, just thrown in a go cup. In my opinion, this is extremely bad business. Unprofessional to the utmost degree. Totally ruined my night. I'm exhausted, starving. Just wanted some Mexican food on Cinco de mayo. Guess y'all don't want my business, so you won't have it. "Wish I could," he said. You could, you just chose not to. read more

Doesn't offer house dressing. But service was nice and food was okay. The areas was nice and decently priced.

The food and service after the day I had, just made all of my problems go away ! The staff were sooooo nice, welcoming, and friendly! They were on it ! I ordered the shrimp chimichanga, my ABSOLUTE favorite, a shredded chicken quesadilla, and queso and chips. The food was nice, hot, and tasted very fresh. The food was sooooo good I wish I could personally thank the Chef. The ambiance is so cute since they've remodeled. read more

El Paso Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Continuing my journey to find solid TexMex I was hopeful this was it because of the name. We sat at the bar and were served quickly. The music was a bit loud but the atmosphere was casual and comfortable. We were served complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip. The salsa was not for me, too much of something in it, the bean dip was delicious though. I ordered two beef enchiladas, hubby had an enchilada and beef taco. The enchiladas were good, not the best I've ever had, but still good. I did enjoy the enchilada sauce. The rice and beans were pretty basic. Good food and reasonably priced, but still not quite TexMex. read more

This is the place to go if you're looking for a good deal on margaritas! From 3 to 6 PM they have a two for one deal for frozen or on the rocks margaritas for $8! The food is well priced and flavorful, I got my son, the kids beef enchilada plate for $7 and it was a lot of food! The service is always great, the hostess and waiters are always nice. They have New Orleans wall art and TV screens if you'd like to watch a game or the news while you eat! They completely remodeled the place and it's super cute! read more

First...it's New Orleans Louisiana!!!...not south of the border. If you can't appreciate that upon walking in, perhaps you need to rethink your choices! If you post a bad review a Mexican food restaurant because you don't agree with the way they make their margaritas, you may need a rationality check! Great service, these people care about the way the food is prepared. Recipes are very New Mexican. Everything we tried was wonderful. Great tequila selection...which is rare in New Orleans! read more

I don't know if the portion size went down recently but three piece of chicken and three small pieces of steak and three shrimp for $24 felt like a scam. Portion sizes used to be much larger. At least be transparent when adjusting portion sizes. read more

Went to El Paso on Mardi Gras night because there was hardly anything open in Irish Channel . The frozen Margeritas were good and thats when things started heading south (no pun intended). Had to ask for water and utensils, Speaking of utensils they use plastic packs like fast food that included a napkin the size of a postage stamp. Cane's on Claiborne has more substantial fo rks and knives. My enchiladas with mole had a weird sweet taste and the mole had the consistency of barbeque sauce. Its hard to get a mediocre meal in New Orleans but El Paso ran the table in that category. Service was also lacking in consistency. My advice? take a pass-o on El Paso. read more

We popped in here early on a Tuesday only to find out they had 2-for-1 margs! We started with queso with chorizo and guacamole. The queso was delicious. The guac was just good. Highlight was our server was attentive so we always had plenty of chips! For dinner, we had a steak quesadilla, California burrito, pollo loco and a steak chimichanga. The pollo loco was great and super flavorful. The chimichanga was good but just pretty tiny. The quesadillas were your run of the mill but we're also pretty tiny (makes sense when you get two). On the other hand, the burrito was massive. Overall, the food was good and the 2-for-1 is definitely a draw. I'm sure we'll be back again! read more

El Paso Mexican Grill - Salsa (red & black bean) - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

We ran into this restaurant for a quick meal. The server came over to our table immediately. We ordered 2 for 1 margaritas and he brought those over very quickly. He also brought chips and salsa very quickly. I ordered the shrimp burrito and my husband ordered the steak burrito. We also ordered sides of rice and beans. Everything was very flavorful. It could have been spicier for our taste. We did order some chopped jalapeno's to sprinkle on top. This is a chain restaurant it seems, but the food was quite good. read more

I enjoyed this place. The service was great. The food came out really fast. Each table was filled inside but I guess we're in phase 3 now so that isn't a requirement to limit indoor attendance. They did wipe every table with Lysol after the party was done eating. I had the supreme steak burrito and it was reallllly good. I enjoyed this place a lot. read more

I kept bouncing between a 4 and 5 star but tbh, I always end up leaving feeling hella good because their HH special gets me every time. Buy 1 Get 1 Free margaritas, and they can be to-go. #WINNING Grab their frozen mango margarita and y'all will be in for a treat. Future you might be upset about the lack of productivity but it's worth it. They practice social disntancing and best practices during COVID-19, including masks, disposable utensil wear, spacing of tables, and to-go cups for water. I love their chips and salsa, but the main headliner is their ADDICTING black bean dip. Snag an order (or three) of their quesadillas and you're in for a treat. Great... now my body is demanding more margaritas. read more

This was the most outstanding and memorable restaurant meal of my entire half-century of existence. Not because of particularly excellent food, drinks or service--though all were good to very good--but because it was the first restaurant meal after staying in for three months. Quite the feeling to sit on a sidewalk bench and have food magically appear in front of us again. Our Mexican plates were good, absolutely traditional Tex-Mex with lots of cheese and sauce. Good salsa and chips, and extra points for the warm chips. The large margaritas came in those comically large goblets that are now so popular (or were). This wasn't top-shelf level but it was supremely satisfying none the less. If you are looking for satisfying standard Mex that you would expect in any major city, this is your place. COVID19 NOTES: We were seated on sidewalk picnic tables that afforded six foot distances from other patrons. Folks passing by on the sidewalk came closer than six feet momentarily, but nearly everyone on Magazine Street that day was abiding by mask guidelines. The wait staff was uniformly masked and gloved. After we had been eating awhile, I noticed a cigarette butt left on the edge of our table by the wall. Our server deftly picked it up, then peeled off his blue glove in one graceful move and captured the offending butt in the glove. I suspect he did that on the spot so we'd see it and be assured he wasn't keeping that glove on after handling a nasty butt. I was so impressed with that deft maneuver I wondered weather he had a second job as a surgeon. (Who, it's worth mentioning, wear masks to protect the patient, not themselves). read more

Awesome new Mexican restaurant on Magazine St! The food was delicious, the service was fast, and the food was well priced. This restaurant was very authentic. They have special deals including Happy hour daily from 2:00pm-7:00pm and lunch specials daily from 11:00am-3:00pm. They brought out free chips, salsa, and bean dip to start. What we ordered: -2 for 1 Margaritas for $8.99! -burrito supreme: we got this with shredded chicken and it was a great amount of food for the price and was really delicious -Shrimp tacos: this came with three tacos and choice of side. The tacos had a lot of shrimp in them and were really great -Queso: the queso was really tasty and a large portion Overall great experience. We sat outside and they brought our pup water which is always a big plus for me! They were also wearing masks and gloves and seemed to be taking COVID-19 precautions. read more

water is the best thing on the menu. 0 stars if possible. terrible service and food. house margs taste like thick syrup. way over priced. apparently tostadas and chalupas are the same thing. Server constantly made mistakes. This would've been ok if she was apologetic or even just fixed the mistakes, but she insisted on lying and blaming her mistakes on us. She also wanted to charge us to fix her mistakes. Please just avoid this place if you can. read more

El Paso Mexican Grill - iced water in plastic cup is the best thing served. - Mexican Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

El Paso is a decent option for Mexican near the Garden District. We stopped in for a couple of their very stiff frozen margaritas on a recent Sunday afternoon. We paired the drinks with chips, salsa, queso, and guacamole, all of which were good, if not looking a little salt. Since I was feeling hungry, I ordered a side of frijoles and chile relleno. The relleno was decent, a little soggy but covered in a delicious sauce. The frijoles, served piping hot, were better and were well-seasoned and satisfying. I really enjoyed the people watching from their sidewalk table, as this spot is located in a great section of Magazine street. Although I wasn't blown away, El Paso is a good spot to get your margarita fix in an area with not a lot of other Tex-Mex options. read more

The food was terrible--served us like a pile of slop! Our server is another story. He didn't come to our table but 1 time to take drinks and food order. That was it! I wanted to complain about the food and service but felt it wouldn't do any good. Place was empty too probably the sign we should have turned around and left. Save your yourself and go elsewhere as there are 5 other Mexican restaurants around the 2 block radius. read more

Carnitas taco was dry & tough. Service was underwhelming.. never saw waiter after he took the order. Will not visit again.

Ordered Uber Eats and was so pleased! Ordered a large queso, bean dip, and veggie fajitas. I am pretty picky about queso and I LOVE this style. It's thick, not funny, and lighter in color, and it reheats well. The veggie fajitas were so flavorful and with a great variety of veggies, even more than described on the menu. The bean dip had strange packaging but was yummy! The restaurant's outside seating looks so cute, I want to stop by soon. No pictures as I was too hungry to remember! My only suggestion would be to include more than 3 taco sized tortillas with the fajitas. Will definitely order again! read more

Their fajita is great - I am not going to lie. Their complimentary chips and salsa are great as well - I am not going to lie. But their Margarita game is unfortunately not up to par in my opinion. If you would like a 2-1 very no frill and generic margarita happy hour deal, this place might be your place but if you are so used to getting that perfectly icy frozen factory made margarita, you will not find that here. I even ordered top shelf just to see if it was better than the 2-1 deal but no... super watery. I would give 3.5 if I coudl read more

We (Party of 3) went here on a Tuesday around 5:30pm and they were not busy. They had no specials on Tuesday. Our waiter was not overly welcoming and did not come to check on us often. When we received our check there was already a 20% gratuity on the check. On the menu it says that a 20% gratuity was only added on party's of or greater. I had confronted the waiter about this and his response was that a 20% Gratuity was added on all tables on Tuesday. That was not made clear anywhere. Will not be coming back. read more

Finally found a different texmex restaurant in NO. Forced to venture out because everything was closed by our hotel in the FQ. Went during the second or third extension of phase 2. Masks not optional unless seated at a table. Really good guacamole and chips. Quesadillas were good. We had beef chicken and shrimp. Cheap tasty margaritas at happy hour. Nice staff. Good Reggaeton music could have been louder :). It's not a five star restaurant obviously. But the food and service were good and prices reasonable. STREET parking. read more
