With a town so close to the border, there is no shortage of Mexican cuisine. There are so many places to go with so many claiming to be the most "authentic." But depending on where you're from in Mexico, and even the US, your pallet may be different. So, finding a good place can be challenging especially if you're visiting. But, El Prado Bakery takes the cake (pun intended) on some of the best Mexican food in this town. From their pastries to their burritos you'll find great food here. First, they have an abundance of pastries to choose from. You can spend some time just trying to pick the right one. And they are tasty! Their burritos are absolutely delicious! I had the breakfast sausage and egg and it was great! My only issue was it was rolled up the way I am not used to for a burrito. It was more like a giant taco with the edges tucked in. That aside, it was still delicious and the salsa was good too! Eggs were cooked nicely, as well as the sausage. Potatoes were soft and with the beans added, it made for a great burrito! The staff were super friendly! Always welcoming when you walked in. And yes, we went there more than once! Always had a smile and waiting to take your order. Once the food was ordered it came fairly quickly too! Place was clean all around which was nice as well. All in all, this was a great place. Definitely stop by and try this place! You'll be glad you did. Cheers. read more

I've had burritos, tamales rojo, and some of the sweets here. It's a pretty good place, I really like the tamales and burritos. It's definitely worth coming every once in a while. The service is good, they speak Spanish and English, and they have a little area to eat. Overall it's a nice place to go. read more

Every Saturday same 5 pieces, sometimes $5.60 all the way to $8.20 con Puro Attitude We've call the owners but when you have customers lined up every weekend las vale madre read more

Been coming here for years. Today, I ordered 2 burritos. A potato burrito and a steak burrito. When I placed the order, I told the lady that my previous four potato burrito orders did not contain cheese even thoughI paid extra. Once again, 'I received the wrong order. I had checked the burrito before I left the place. They fixed the order and added cheese. Once I got home, my order was still wrong! The other burrito was egg, not steak. The steak burrito is more expensive, so I felt cheated. I called to complain and the manager (Aracely) called me. I had explained that I did not take pictures of the burrito to prove that they made a mistake. Honestly, I have better things to do than call and complain. But all she did was apologize without making financial amends (making a new burrito). I don't know if I will ever go back. They lost a long time customer who spent plenty of money there. These are the types of customers YOU KEEP. All they did was question me and make me feel like I was not being truthful. Shame on them. Now' I will spread the word. read more

Everything is great Place is clean!!!! Very important Great customer service Reasonable prices read more

El Prado Bakery - Their donuts are sooooo good! Always a treat for our staff. Highly recommended .

If you're willing to wait it's worth it! A little pricey but the red pork tamales are delicious.

My husband and I stopped by El Prado Bakery this afternoon before heading to the movie. What a pleasant surprise!! The pastries are super tasty!! I will definitely be coming back to try the salads. The store is super cute! The staff is very friendly and will answer any questions one might have read more

Super selection. Everything from American to Mexican pastries. Room on the side to eat on location if you want. Vustomer service is good. They will speak Spanish first, which can be annoying, but this is El Paso. read more

Amazing. Prices are So low, I wonder how they stay in business. The food is delicious; the pastries though.... they are what keeps me going back. read more

PLEASE READ!!!: Horrible customer service interactions and ability to understand an order in English!!!! The food is great, but the service will make a person NOT ever want to revisit this location. The woman at the register, late 40's to early 50's, that only speaks Spanish, and coincidentally has no name on her shirt to identify who she is, is the rudest and most seemingly entitled person working at the register. She should be put elsewhere, where there are NO customer interactions. Here are a few points that I have personally experienced with this employee: * Doesn't understand English * Rude to customers upon interactions * Rushes to input an order without understanding what the customer wants * Rolls her eyes at me as if I am bothering her by making an order * Smearks as she walks away from me as if she is upset * Inputs the wrong order and tries to blame the customer * Talking to the kitchen staff about the wrong order, saying it was the customers fault "Hello, there are cameras, so please review her interactions with customers" * Speaking disrespectful about customers in Spanish, under her breath, as if she is not being recorded or heard This visit was today, 6/26/2024, and I have had many visits here before because I love the food, just not the service. Every time I enter this establishment, I hope that she is NOT working that day, so I don't have to go through another horrible experience. This woman should be reviewed by the cameras to observe her demeanor and interactions with customers. Kudos to the younger woman who works there at the register. She is amazing and has always been a very professional employee. I do love the food here and have made too many visits to count, but the continued disrespectful and unnecessary conduct from this employee MUST be stopped before she causes a loss of loyal customers. Read other comments about interactions with this employee. There are many, and she still seems to continue to act the same way with customers. r/ Loyal Customer read more

Burritos, tortas and sweet bread are always great! The staff is usually extremely busy when we visit but they get our order processed as quickly as they can. Never had a bad experience! read more

We stopped into El Prado Bakery in hopes of a donut for the kiddos and tamales for us. When we first pulled in the amount of traffic in and out of El Prado was a tall tell sign this was the place to be! We ordered half a dozen donuts and half a dozen cheese and jalapeño tamales. Nothing disappointed! My kids rated the donuts "a ten out of ten" and the tamales were wonderful. The wait was no more than two minutes after ordering. They have such a wide variety of baked goods, burritos, tamales, quesadillas, etc. making it will worth the visit! read more

Absolutely love their pozole but if you're going to get it, be prepared to wait in line that goes out the door! Also, you can order just the broth or caldo and I love that so much read more

I placed an order of 25 breakfast burritos yesterday 3/26/25. I asked the gentleman who took the order named Alex, if the burritos would be ready for pick up at 0530 to which he said they would be ready. We arrive at 0520 and get out of my car at 0529. It's 0533 and the young lady finally opens the doors. I let her know that I'm there to pick up the 25 breakfast burritos to which she says they're not ready. I asked if she knew how much longer because they were supposed to have been ready for pick up at 0530. She turns around and asks another lady behind kitchen counter who was bagging some tamales and she says " I don't know, we just opened and we're getting everything ready!" She was clearly bothered and not once looked up at me. Then she starts yapping about "thats why they shouldnt be telling them that theyre going to get their orders at 0530. I'm assuming she was talking about their coworkers. To which I replied my son has to be in school to catch his bus by 0545, you all said the order would be ready by 0530. She rolled her eyes and gave me her back. I had my husband leave to take my son to school and I stayed back while they finished up the burritos. I ended up walking out of the bakery at 0555. I have to say that the two gentlemen that were working on the burritos were working at a fast pace trying to get them finished. The young lady at the register was very apologetic but the wanna be blonde woman that was behind the kitchen counter was rude and needs to be retrained in customer service skills. read more

We always make a stop when we visit El Paso, Texas. The sweet bread is outstanding, coming from DFW. The prices are great, bread is oversized and super fresh, menudo according to my husband is the best, breakfast burritos are big and tasty and the fresh squeezed orange juice is delicious. Plus the place is clean and the customer service is excellent. We can't wait to visit again soon. read more

The tamales are really and plenty of meat. The donuts are bigger than most . The menudo is nice and spicy.

This review is specifically about the pan dulce. I went with a recommendation that the flour tortillas ate really good and the bread as well. Let me preface that my mom makes handmade tortillas for me and therefore heavily biased, these tortillas were pretty good. The bread selection is nice and the process pretty reasonable. It was pretty good. I will return to have the menudo and maybe something else. The service was albeit a bit slow there was a little line. But the staff worked quick and provided great customer service. read more

My first visit was breathtaking and welcoming. I love the decor right when you go through the front door. I loved the variety of pan dulce that they offer. Good prices and delicious! Friendly and helpful staff. Freshly packaged tortillas de harina made daily. I love that it had a very spacious eating lobby. They serve hot food daily and the bolillo's were amazing. Front of business parking available. Would definitely be a returning customer. read more

The pozole and menudo are good, and honestly, the bread is just right, but their tamales... even the places with the word tamales in their name cannot compare. They do have competition, but only from their other restaurants, which you know as Valentine's. Anyway, for the absolute best tamales in town, hit them up. Now the service... really good considering. I am not even sure I should be telling you about them. As it is I have to line up behind at least 25 or so people every time I go to their place; but I decided to write a review and here it is. read more

Holy amaze balls Batman! This place is all that and a bag of donuts! First off, BEST quality donuts in the whole town!! The yeast donuts are perfectly soft and moist enough on the inside. Not any of that slightly dry tasting fried bread like some places! Cough cough Dunkin cough lol. SECONDLY! WHO DOESNT LOVE OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS BREAKFAST BURRITOS PACKED TO THE MAX WITH MEATS ON FRESH FLOUR TORTILLAS??? nobody! Man, once you try their burritos, like their El Jefe one!! You will be HOOKED!!! its packed with brisket mixed with eggs, potatoe, and whatever other goodness it has!! Ughhh craving it as im writing this lol. Their freshly squeezed OJ is 100% juice that you can taste!! It has all the pulp and natural sweetness!! I bought 5 burritos, a dozen donuts, and 4 OJs for only 40$!!! Not bad at all! read more

It's always packed but worth it. The food is really good, but it's a little on the pricier side.

I have been here 6 times in the two weeks since i found this gem. The first time i tried coming on Sunday morning, the wait was about 45 minutes so I came back the next day, and I totally understand the hype now. My favorites are the pork and green Chile burrito, steak burrito Mexican style, Apple fritter, carrot cake, and strawberry cake. They are scrumptious. Definitely need to try the chocolate cake though. I also recommend the pineapple empanadas. The service is always phenomenal. Some employees do not speak English as the clientele is largely Hispanic, but they're always super friendly regardless. i love this place read more

I saw the big line, so I assumed that the food would be delicious, bought red tamales, bunuelos and sweet bread. I was very disappointed, the tamales were bland, the bread wasn't fluffy and the jelly inside it tasted as if it was left in the fridge for a long time. The buñuelos were good. the service was very good. read more

Excelente choice from bakery to tacos to burritos. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the bakery and the friendly patrons and staff. read more

The menudo is one of the best in El Paso y el pozole no se diga awesome the only down side is the line to get them specially on Sunday

Minutes from my house so I wish it better, but judging from the lines here, especially on weekends the locals love it! Menudo and pozole is just ok, sweet bread is hit or miss and their burritos SUCK.... read more

Stumbled across El Prado one morning after getting a last minute suggestion from a friend. First of all, the pastries sitting out front IMMEDIATELY grabbed my attention. I love that this local bakery constantly brings out fresh pastries throughout the day. I promised myself I would buy a pastry next time I go in!! Breakfast is served all day and I see a full kitchen making fresh burritos every morning. Despite the long lines, this business operates so smoothly. I ordered two egg, chorizo, and potato burritos and one green Chile tamale. Their burritos are VERY filling and so worth the money! The tamale was first green Chile tamale I ever had and now I am hooked. If on the Far East side, I highly suggest coming here :) read more

Prado is a wonderful Restaurant that serves delicious Mexican foods an also famous for desert freshly made everyday they have an amazing menu once you enter prados. You won't be disappointed read more

Great bakery, rows of pan dulce, and a full assortment of burritos, tamales, soups, and more. It is always busy but the service is speedy and the lines are a testament to the quality of food. We always get our Sunday morning Posole here. Amazing flavor. read more

Need menudo or treats? This is the place. They also have burritos and other really good meals for the family and treats for after. My kids love the variety of drinks and the donuts. Really calm and chill place to get some breakfast and the workers are very nice, beware it is a little packed sometimes but so worth it read more

My wife wanted to have breakfast before work. A quick breakfast....she suggest Starbucks and I of course was like hell nah. Let me find a better place. Did a little searching and came up on this little spot. Not only Do they have fresh pan dulce they also have a kitchen where they make fresh food we go in and it isn't busy at all. We walk right up to the counter and place our order. I get the ham and cheese torta and I add eggs. It come with beans avocado lettuce and tomatoes. I don't do lettuce and tomatoes on my breakfast sandwich so I take order without. My wife who swears she doesn't like chorizo gets a chorizo and potato breakfast burrito. I also had some pan dulce for snack later in the day lol. They have a very nice seating area that's separate from the main lobby. It opens up by these roll up doors (more like windows though)but it was morning time and freezing so rightfully so it was closed. Anyway we sat down to enjoy our breakfast and OMG the food was AMAZING! It was hot and fresh seeing as it was made to order ! The portion size for my torta was huge! My wife LOVED her breakfast burrito. And the best part y'all our total bill WITH 5 pan dulces to go was only $12 !! This place has to be popular cause by the time we were done eating the line was long as all ever. Long story short we will ABSOLUTELY be back read more

Food is hit or miss. We got burritos and it tasted like Fabuloso ! Yes the cleaning product, also they charge for salsa. Shouldn't that be included. Then they give u less than a tablespoon in the smallest container they can find. The pan dulce is the only thing brings us back read more

One of my favorite places to stop and get bread when visiting family. And their tortillas so good.

Everything I've had here is so good especially the fresh sweet bread and the menudo on the weekends.

I ordered the lb of barbacoa, when I picked it up I saw it came with 4 bolillos- I am used to having barbacoa with tortillas and it was a little sad- however when I got home and used my own tortillas, I have to say- the barbacoa was delicious! I liked the onions/cilantro and the salsa the give you as well. read more
