Amazing experience! The food was delicious, everything came out fresh and fast, and the service was outstanding. Everyone working there was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. You can tell they truly care about their customers. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place! read more

Now talk about some delicious flautas! I was definitely impressed by the taste of these flautas and all their toppings. At the same time, they come at an excellent price point for tourists visiting. The location of this business is in the "Lower Valley" area of El Paso which isn't the most well-kept. However, the flautas were definitely authentic. The line went quick and our food came swiftly, as well. I ordered two flautas and an order of Tacos de Alambre (my favorite type). It was all very good. I also got a lemonade but it was a little too sweet. All-in-all, it was delicious and gives El Cometa (where I used to go) a run for its money! read more

Buena comida, pero muy cara, especialmente las aguas frescas y las nieves y las paletas de nieve, pero para jóvenes bien enamorados que no les importa el precio está muy bueno read more

Good Corn in a cup, but it ran out after I got my order. It was a Saturday evening about 7 pm.

This is a popular, thriving business located in a busy shopping stop with plenty of parking. The menus is extensive but their flautas are the main attraction. You can get 2, 4 or 6 to an order and they come with lettuce and tomato salad and topped with sour cream etc. Delicious! I didn't try their other Mexican snacks and treats but the customers where ordering them left and right. Things like, nachos, tostadas, ice cream, shakes etc. Staff is friendly, efficient and the place is kept tidy. read more

The restaurant on Zaragoza Street has good food. The only thing that is wrong is that as soon as you walk in, it stinks like Fabuloso the cleaner, and the food even might taste like Fabuloso but it would be great if they would stop using so much of that cleaner that would make it perfect The tostadas taste, like Fabuloso read more

UPDATE* A year and a half later and the service is still slow. Takes foreVer...foreVer...foreVer... To top it off, we got to watch customers who came after us, get their food before us. Looking at the picture, I don't think we ordered anything that difficult. Now on to the food. The torta was very good! One of the best I've had. A tight sandwich they doesn't fall apart. But it's the delicious bread that makes the sandwich. The flautas on the other hand are very thin on meat. Not much else to say which is sad because this used to be one of our favorite spots to eat flautas back in the day. read more

What to get?!? You can't go wrong with anything you choose. You must get dessert, too. We had the flautas, cheese fries, corn in a cup, and paletas (no judgement ). They serve aguas frescas but we were too quick to order that we missed them. We hope to be back soon. read more

What's for dinner.......? We drove around and my girlfriend stated she wanted a shrimp cocktail so we arrived here. This a very traditional Mexican restaurant yet clean and tasty. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, tacos de asada and torta (sandwich) of milanesa (slightly breaded thin steak). The shrimp cocktail was loaded with shrimp and with a great tasting juice. The tacos were seasoned enough to taste the grill and marinate. Finally, the torta was flavorful and the milanesa was not oily at all. The mix of avocado, meat, and beans created a sweet ambrosia for the mouth. The cost with a can of coke and cantaloupe water was $24. Inexpensive and high quality flavor a must. Only concern the place was very cold. read more

So I don't want to be negative all the way around so I'll say one positive thing. The aguas Frescas were good. The price for the aguas almost 6 dollars and 14 dollars for 6 flautas? Papa nachos, fancy for cheese fries 6 dollars? Holy bankruptcy ! I've lived in El Paso long enough to say that these are high priced items. Took 25 minutes to get the food! Not horrible but for the items not great. Not sure I will be back. Unless I can't find another place with aguas frescas for under 5 dollars I might come back. Honest review read more

This place is really great! They have such a great variety of all the Mexican favorites even the munchies... They have all kinds of authentic aguas frescas, and the ice creams are so gooooood! They make all kinds of unique flavors, pinenut being my favorite at the moment. The flautas are my personal favorite, they are full of meat and perfectly crispy, not burned like most places. The Tacos and the tortas are good as well. The snacks are good as well! They have all of them: corn in a cup, papas locas, dori nachos, chilindrinas, tostadas preparadas... Pretty much anything your little heart desires.... Anyway if you are in the area of any of their many locations I highly recommend you give them a try. They have amazing customer service as well, and if you dine in they serve you chips in salsa which is nice.... read more

This place probably has the best flautas in El Paso! They know exactly how much sauce to add and their queso fresco is absolutely perfect.

This place is HOT - And I mean, POPULAR! I have come here at 9:00 at night on a weekday and every table is full. The seating is casual. They have a nice selection of Paletas and Agua Frescas. They have Menudo and Pozole on the weekend. My fiancée Bill and I came last weekend and sampled the Pozole and Menudo and a shared Limonata for just over 12.00 for both of us. We both liked the pozole better (although I am not a menudl fan in general) They have those flautas smothered in guacamole with some nice cotija on top. Those are a lot of flautas! The papas locas are fun and filling. The house red sauce is pure fire and tastes like chile pequine. They have a burger which is inexpensive and decent. The place is aces! You really can't go wrong. They even have some odd Mexican dishes that I am a bit squeamish about like that rubbery pork skin on a salad... Which I will steer clear of in favor of pozole and a cucumber paleta! read more

So I was visiting cousins that love very close to this place and the talk of agua frescas and paletas came up and they said this place had the best! Not to mention they had agua flavors I wasnt familiar with like coconut and pecan... so I said lets go!! So the its is very bright inside, by sunlight, lighting and the bright colors they painted inside, but its not a shack by any means. Nice AC, clean and very "franchise" looking. Maybe it is? Anyways, there was ashort line, the first line I have run into in ELP since visiting. That means its gotta be good right? Well we were there for sweets, but the food that was coming out looked FANTASTIC!!! Now back to why we came, those aguas were amazing!!! I got the coconut, youngest got pina colada and oldest melon. All were awesome after cross tasting was done. The selection of paletas was mind blowing. Im hoping I took pics. I'll be back read more

Today Sunday April 11. I could not order not order they did not answer the phones and on the 5th attempt they put me on hold for 12 minutes. I already hung up on them. order pizza at Domino's there if they answered quickly, if they don't want to work on Sunday then they don't open. Dedicate yourself to something else. Hoy domingo 11 de abril. No pude ordenar no ordenar no contestan los teléfonos y al 5to intento me pusieron en espera por 12 minutos. Ya les colgué. ordene pizza en Domino's allí si contestaron rápido, si no quieren trabajar en domingo pues no abran. Dediques a otra cosa read more

My dad's family raves about this place but since they don't go to juarez, I can see why they like it. I won't be coming back. My corn in cup was hard and lacked flavor. Crunchy to the point where my brother asked why I kept eating it because he could hear the crunch. Lol The same for the flautas. Bland. If I had to pick between these and Deli Mex, I'd go for DeliMex. I will give props to their meat, it wasn't anything gross. Pretty darn clean and I always appreciate that. The half of the lemon that was served with them was horribly dry and the rest that I asked for, just as dry. I thought lemon could fix the flavor but no lemon juice. The red sauce that also comes with the flautas is probably the best tasting thing from here. But still, barely any good. read more

Food wise, this place is phenomenal! If you want that authentic Mexican taste, definitely go here. I go to Juarez all the time and eat Mexican greatness, but if for any reason you can't go to the motherland, go here. The barbacoa, tripas, even fresas con crema...everything is fantastic. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because they need to re arrange their operations. They only have one girl operating one register. Honestly, two registers would be much more ideal for this place because lines are constantly forming and when I see lines, I'd rather eat somewhere else. One customer ordering takes like 4-5 minutes. Way too long. Other than that, If you catch them on a non busy day, GO!! read more

Their agua frescas are so good!! They taste so fresh and not like they've been sitting there for hours. The sizes are perfect! They have so many options to choose from on their menu. I haven't tried their flautas yet but I'll update my review once I do. Great place overall if you're in the lower valley. read more

The Flautas were very disappointing. I figured the line is long food has to be good. Ugh! Anyways The pineapple aqua Fresca was fantastic. The tortas were both good. They left off my fries from the order so that sucked. I would return to try other drinks. The low stars are for the terrible flautas and missing food. read more

Ok, I decided to write this review as I sit and wait for my order. Decoration here isn't great, plain white wall with green stripes. Ice cream paintings on the wall. Who really cares tho, it's a mom and pops type place. The food- flautas are amazing!!! 6.00 for an order of flautas! You get about 4/5 of them. Nice and crispy, not too thin, not too fat! Kinda like Meghan treanor (all about that bass boutthat bass) They make great tortas!! Bread is a bit thick but it's ok And ice cream is their specialty! Fresh ice cream and fresh licuados and aguas!!! read more

During our visit to El Paso last week, we ate here, and I had the best flautas I've ever had. It's a simple place with a basic but clean and comfy dining room. You order at the counter, and they bring out your food a few minutes later...it all seems to be fresh cooked to order. The toppings are all fresh and nicely prepared (lettuce, tomatoes, crema, salsas). They also make aqua fresca and fresh fruit drinks while you wait, and homemade ice cream. It seems like EVERYTHING is homemade and delicious. Usually when I'm traveling to a new city, I like to try a different place every night. We loved it so much, we came back again a couple days later. It was always packed, with a steady line of locals coming in. I highly recommend this place. read more

Horrible service rude people, they said we couldn't get a table until we ordered even though I was already in line to order. Then I notice there were two tables about to finish so I ordered and said I am going to o wait for a ya me while I wait for my order. The cashier made a face and I said just put it to go. As I waited for my to go order table became available, they are just not courteous and don't want people to dine in. Will not be going back to this place, very disappointing. read more

This place was super delicious. My whole family went. We ate tacos, chilindrinas, paletas and chocoBanana. I got tacos. I was in heaven. The only thing I will complain about is that I think they use MSG. We hadn't finished our meal when I suddenly got a wave of exhaustion and a racing heart while just sitting there. We normally eat clean so when when I have msg it affects me in that manner. Later on my daughter had worse symptoms that lasted thru the next day. She had a racing heart, headache, upset stomach, dizziness and nausea. The food was delicious I'm giving it 4 stars but if MSG affects you like it did us don't eat the meats. I would go again but just not buy anything that can be seasoned with MsG. read more

Absolutely amazing. Every time I come into town I make sure to come here (not only because it's my Hispanic mother's favorite restaurant) but because it is literally the Mexican food equivalent of heaven. NOTHING ON THE MENU IS OVER $7!!! And trust me, they aren't shy with their ingredients!! I've tried the flautas, the tortas, papas locas, aguas frescas, ice cream, YOU NAME IT. And not a single one has disappointed in the slightest. Today I tried a quesadilla sincronizada with carne asada..... let me just say if I died right now I'd be the happiest man on earth. Currently omw home to enter a food coma. The meat cooked to perfection with melted cheese and their guacamole salsa is the perfect touch on every dish. Will definitely and always be back! read more

Love these flautas! Omg I can eat like 60 of them! They are addictive. They put plenty of meat in them. Not chinchi like some other places. Love love love read more

Yummy and crispy flautas . The cheese and cream make it the bomb. Comes with red and green dipping sauce. Gotta try it.

Great food, but figuring out what you want if you don't speak Spanish, can be a challenge. Thanks to a local who helped us out we got some awesome food at cheap prices. read more

This place is off the charts! I love coming here for a good bite to eat that wont break the bank. There is so much to choose from whether its flautas or a fruit drink that is made fresh or the desserts which are amazing. Some of the best churros in town, a whole pineapple with chamoy and tamarindo is legit. The tortas are really good. I happened to have the barbacoa tacos and if u have ever had barbacoa you know its kind of a hit or miss type of deal and it was amazing here. My meal everytime for the most part is a Agua de limon, a torta (millanesa or barbacoa), and order of tostitos which have corn cheese, queritos and all types of goodies. read more

Best place for antojitos ever! I had a torta with pernil and it tasted delicious. I really loved the pickled red onion, it gave it a good salty flavor. Their red salsa and avocado sauce are the bomb! The best thing I had there was the agua de melon! By far the best agua de melon I have ever tasted! Try it out, it won't disappoint. read more

This place is good food and those mexican cravings.. Is a good place it. But the service is really slow down those employees..

Best place ever best flautas ever. Best paletas ever. They have a mix of snacks and food and lots of desserts. And I will drive thirty mins to come eat here. read more

Great flautas, amazing fruit drink - coconut and pecans is my favorite, and ice cream is delicious . kids loved hot fries and takis with cheese. read more

Absolutely love this place! The namesake flautas are totally delicious and the ice cream blew me away. So so good!

Good food but shitty service. You have to order when you get there and if you need anything additional, you'll have to stand in line to ask and pay for it. We ordered an extra side of creama and they charged us 27 cents. Ridiculous. read more

Great place! I always get asada tacos or a shrimp cocktail. The tacos are a a little small but I guess that's the norm around here. The only complaint is the place is usually packed with a line out the door and it is a paleta/ ice cream place so most of the crowd is loud screaming kids but the food is well worth it. read more

The menudo this morning Sunday had a good taste. But wont buy again. The meat was the size of a saltine cracker. Big pieces would get stuck un your throat. Buttered bread but not spread equal and not toasted well. read more
