I enjoyed the whole meal. Please visit this restaurant and give them your business.

Coming back to the Southwest is always a treat!…read more I know I'm going to get tons of choices of Tex-Mex restaurants to eat at. Upon touching down in El Paso, Texas, home to Ft. Bliss Texas, my family said Julio's Cafe Corona was a must. I don't complain and am easy going so off we went. We came for lunch and the restaurant wasn't packed. No wait and that meant we were immediately seated. I'm a tortilla soup addict and so I had to try. It was just okay, it did not have chicken, which it should have. My family insisted I don't eat (Yelp knows I do) so they forced me to get a plate. I chose the lunch flautas. It came with guacamole and refried beans. They were delicious! I'm not big refried bean person but the Tex-Mex beans always seem to be delicious. I've learned some restaurants add bacon to their recipes and it makes sense, of course I love them. I'm a pork lover! These were just okay and didn't appear to have that hint of flavor. I didn't eat them. I noticed that they don't serve rice, probably better for my waistline but in comparison to other Tex-Mex spots, you do get both rice and beans. Ambiance is typical of a Mexican Cantina. Would I return? If I lived in the EP, possibly, but if I'm returning and just have a few days this wouldn't be my go-to spot. Good but not the best in the city.

The best part were the $1 red beers n mimosas on Sundays. The iced café de olla was overly sweet. The outdoor patio is nicely shaded and a nice place to enjoy outdoor dining.

I wanted comfort food and G&R usually does that really well. From the time I walked in, the vibe was off. The FOH (I think the manager or one of the owners) seemed annoyed that I had one in. We're still at about an hour from close, I figured a little extra business on a yucky day might be good. I ended up ordering the mole plate, but that wasn't wise. Nothing that came out was at temp other that the sala. The shredded chicken was almost refrigerator cool to the touch. I get that it's normal to keep the shredded chicken ready and safe to prepare, but by the time I mixed the cold chicken and the warm mole sauce (which tasted like it was straight from a Doña Maria container) it was a barely room temperature. Likewise, the beans and rice were also room temp. I heard the kitchen bell when my food was ready, so there was only a short delay before it got to the table. The chips and table salsa were great (as usual), but I sit here writing this review with my stomach feeling a little uneasy over the food temps. I try to support local whenever possible, but I'm gonna have to think about it before I come back here. Hoping that whatever was going on today hasn't become the norm.

Their Mexican Plate is exactly what you hope for--generous portions with flavorful rice, perfectly seasoned refried beans, a crispy taco, and delicious enchiladas covered in a rich, homemade sauce. Every bite tastes fresh and satisfying. If you're visiting for lunch, don't miss their Lunch Specials. They offer outstanding value without sacrificing quality or portion size. Their Caldo de Pollo is another standout. The broth is rich and comforting, filled with tender chicken and fresh vegetables, making it the perfect meal whether you're looking for something hearty or simply craving a traditional homemade soup. What makes El Sarape del Valle special is that it's a family-owned and owner-operated restaurant. You can tell they take pride in what they serve, and the friendly service reflects that commitment. The son is always at the counter; and the father often visits the restaurant with his cowboy hat. If you're looking for authentic Western-style Mexican food, generous portions, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere, El Sarape del Valle is an easy recommendation.

This is a review of the last time we were there last year September/October 2025…read more On many occasions over the past 8 years ,we have eaten and also purchased food to go and I've never had any problems with them. Until now. I had placed an order for some food for me to pick up to take home. I ordered 2 caldo de res, large size, One plate of Tacos con carne deshebrada, a plate of chicken enchiladas in green sauce, and a plate of chicken tacos. I pick it up on the way home. I got home and opened up the containers of food with my wife and we were very surprised to find that the food in the 3 plates were burnt. I am not talking about overcooked they were burnt to a black crisp. The tortillas in the Taco plates were burnt Black and the meat inside was extremely dry like jerky. The sauce on the enchiladas was almost nonexistent and a tortillas on the enchiladas ends were also burnt Black. The chicken in the inside was also very, very dry. The rice on all the plates did not look like rice it resembled more like seeds that you might plant outside. The beans are so dry that they had pulled away from the edges of the container and were a brown hard lump. Needless to say none of the food was appealing nor edible. I was quite surprised because this had never happened to us at this particular restaurant. It was late in the evening when I called them up. None of the managers were in at that moment. The cashier told me that one of the managers name was as Junior. I explained to the cashier what happened with my food order and she assured me she would get the message to one of the managers. I gave her my phone number. The next morning I received a call from a lady who said that she was one of the managers and wife of Junior, the other manager. I asked for Junior and the lady said that she could help me. She told me that Junior was there with her. I spoke with Her and describe the food that I had received and she apologized immensely. She said that she would like to remake the order for me. I said that would be great if you could do that and we would appreciate it. She asked me to come on in, I told her that that particular day I was not able to as I already had plans. She said not to worry that she would leave my name and instructions about my order with the cashier. Just to call first, come in and it would be taken care of. The following week I was able to call that Friday to let them know before I got there and the cashier said she did not know anything about what I was talking about. I explained to her the entire situation and she said that she was sorry that she still didn't know what what's going on. I asked if I could speak to the manager and she told me the manager was not in. I asked to speak to any of the two managers and she told me that none of them are in. I left a message with the cashier to give to Junior or his wife and that I would appreciate a call back. She said that she would be sure to give the message to them. The following week I did not receive a return call so I called them that Thursday. Again they were not in. Again I left a message, asking them to please call me back.(I think you can see where this went). I've been coming to this restaurant for over eight years and apparently that's not loyalty enough for them. I did explain this to the managers. The food has always been rather decent and sometimes good here . This time not at all. The management failed to follow up with me. I feel they could have at least returned my calls, they certainly had plenty of opportunities. They did not and to date I have not. In any business it is easier to keep your current and regular customers than to try to get new customers. That doesn't seem to be an important issue for them nor is it their current agenda. What I feel is more important is they have lost the patronage of a regular customer, myself. Unfortunately I will not be recommending this business any longer. I will not be returning to this restaurant at anytime in the near future. I will be spending my money elsewhere

You pick a seat anywhere and sit and when you're done eating, you go up front and pay. It makes for a very nice, low-social setting. Everything is super cheap, I paid for two full meals for my boyfriend and I for only $24 (without tip-- I tipped $10 because the staff is super nice and the food is amazing.) There are varying refill policies depending on what you get- Pepsi products are on tap so they are free. They have horchata, lemonade, and bottled drinks; these are not free per refill if I remember correctly. The drinks are actually pretty large though, so I personally didn't have an issue. I highly recommend this place!!! It is quant, tasty, and inexpensive!
