    Carne Asada Quesidillas
    Adam J.

    Just had the best Quesadilla I've ever had in my life. Oscar who is amazing recommended it and I was mind blown. I will be back also recommend the Agua Fresca it is absolutely fire.

    The food was delicious. Everything on the menu looked amazing. Will be back for the tacos! The place was a little too loud and even though we sat pretty quick we were left without anyone coming back for a long time. Thankfully the food was good. Had to leave because it was too loud.

    When you come to El Paso and you want some gooodddd Mexican food, this is the spot! The servers are all so welcoming and explain the menu in detail. We went on a Sunday and they had the football games playing all TVs. They also have music playing and it was pretty packed. On top of the food being delicious, you can't beat the prices! $2.25 for a taco! Highly recommend La Taqueria!

    Tripitas and barbacoa are so good, also recommend the longaniza
    Rick M.

    Always a great place to eat with ZTHE best tacos in The Sun City, longaniza, Sir Loin, Tripitas, and can't go wrong with barbacoa, 2 of each.

    Fixings for the tacos, Look at all that Cilantro. Most skimp on it

    This place is BOMB for dem tacos! If you are worried about a heart attack, grease, calories, there's gotta be a health food store somewhere around here! I love the Sirloin, Chicharron and Al Pastor tacos with pineapple. This time they have Cantaloupe Water which is my favorite anywhere hands down!

    Food was amazing, fast and friendly service. They agua de pepino limón was so good too

    I wanted to like this place a lot. Cheap tacos, decent decor, and friendly staff, but the tacos are mediocre at best. I had a staff meeting here and we order the loaded nachos and 4 different types of tacos from bistec, to barbacoa, to al pastor and they were all just... eh. Barely any flavor, not salted well, just food basically. The only redeeming factor were their Charro beans. BEST I've had in El Paso but not good enough to go back specifically for them. Hopefully it was just a gimmick and they are usually good but at this point this is what I expect from most El Paso Mexican restaurants, mediocrity.

    This restaurant looked promising on social media, but looks can be deceiving. The small street tacos are pretty cheap at $.95 or $1.25 each, depending on the meat. But they are swimming in grease. Be sure to ask for extra napkins. They were so-so. You can find better tacos elsewhere. The nachos con carne were much better. The chips were homemade, but a bit stale. The queso, salsa, carne were all delicious. Service was awful. We were sat promptly but then after that, it seemed we were forgotten about for some time. Then after some time, we were finally able to get our drink and food order in. Everyone there seemed uninterested in working, wandering around as if they were busy, yet doing nothing. It wasn't a busy night either, as there were maybe four table occupied with 3 waitresses working. A poor experience altogether. You're better off eating tacos.

    I used to love this place. I think the quality has went down hill. I'm battling a bad bout of food poisoning right now.

    Quesadilla
    Aaron R.

    This place is offers good food. I got to start with that before the three stars inside the orange squares make you think otherwise. The agua de mazapán is one that you can't miss and have to mix with your lunch. The size of that quesadilla is huge that it almost didn't make it to the image once I cropped it. Now let's get into why I gave it these not-so-flattering three stars. The service. Understaffed would be an understatement. Only three people for a restaurant that was full from wall to wall. Missing orders and long wait times to get your check is just something you can expect. I wouldn't discourage you from trying it yourself but I do give you the former warnings given here. Provecho!

    The one in the foil is their special. The other two I don't know I asked them to bring me stuff to try.  It was awesome
    Vaughn M.

    If you are new to the area or unfamiliar with street tacos this is the place to go. Amazing food, friendly and patient staff willing to explain and educate. The music and atmosphere was excellent. If you want great food and an authentic experience you need to come try this place will definitely put it on the hit list when I travel here.

    DON'T WALK - run to this place. I've had tacos in Mexico City (and anywhere else tacos are served) and my goodness these are amazing. From the presentation to the flavors, it's just delectable. My bf and I wanted yo try them all so we ordered one of each. I appreciate that Aaron said "part of the experience is the temperature of the food, so I'm bringing you the first 5 then I'll bring the next 5 so they don't get cold". I appreciate this like you have no idea, food temperature plays a huge roll on flavor, texture, etc. So Thank You Aaron! I can't say there's a bad taco on the menu. They are all savory and well seasoned. I love to dress my tacos but some of these I didn't dare because the flavor of the meat alone was more than enough. My absolute favorite are; tripitas ( cooked 3/4), buche and barbacoa. Although the lengua and asada was close. They have patio seating, they have a good amount of tables and bar seats. The owners (or so they seemed) are boots on the ground and very involved and it shows. I can't encourage you all enough to try this place, I would love to keep it a secret but I won't haha.

    So you want cheap tacos NOT on a Tuesday? Oh you want authentic tacos: greasy, delicious? With traditional meats like bistek, suadero, buche, pastor, longeniza ($0.95 each) and sirloin, lengua, barbacoa, tripa, chicharron ($1.25 each)? But you want to eat in AC without flies and listen to fun toe-tapping Mexican music? How about TV screens? 10+ screens? Where is this awesome place you ask? Off Sunland Park where the old Toro burger was. This spot has the legit same tasting tacos I got in Tijuana, eating by a taquero but without the flies or heat. In fact, they had Mark Wiens videos visiting awesome taquerias so that you can remember that feeling and you taste it in the greasy tacos, the chicharron taco slightly crunchy, but minced so fine you barely have to chew. The suadero is so flavorful, one could get away with just the meat and tortillas but the salsa flight is awesome and cute! I had to ask for onions and cilantro but they accommodated. The pastor was a bit chewy but really good. At these prices, you can afford to try all the meats! I got 4 suadero, 1 chicharron, and one pastor, and it was almost the same price as my kiddo's quesadilla. I saw a bunch of people ordering charro beans so that's on my to try list next. The service was so nice, but they had only one waitress, the bar had 2 people working there and no one seated there so I think they need to support the girl since the place is spacious and there were a lot of tables. It's a great addition to the area and I can see it being popular for families, date nights, and casual outings. I really liked the food and hope others check them out and #supportlocal La Taqueria Tradicional (915) 300-2555 1050 Sunland Park Dr Suite A-700, El Paso, TX 79922 https://maps.app.goo.gl/NsgC9TNk3r5qWKL98

    I thought this caddy was a cute idea, to have all of your chiles (salsa) here and napkins, GENIUSES!

    I've been a loyal customer of this establishment since 2008. While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

The food arrived within about 10 minutes for our group of six, which was impressive. The complimentary fried tortillas were very good, and the salsa was enjoyable as well. I ordered al pastor tacos. The flavor was good, but the meat was very dry. I liked the portion size, especially the amount of meat, but it would have been excellent if it were not so dry.

I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.

Looking back, El Cometa is what started my taco obsession. Their tacos al pastor con queso are so good. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned, a little greasy in the best way, and topped with melted cheese. One thing I love is their salsa bar. I always grab the red salsa, green salsa, and guacamole. I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible. Last summer, the hostess recognized me right away and seated me immediately. She even remembered my order. I order the exact same thing every visit: tacos and two cans of Sprite. The fact that she has been there since I first started coming in 2019 makes every visit feel like coming home. From 2019 until I moved away in 2022, I went there almost every week. To eat here, everyone lines up at the cashier to place an order, but somehow I always felt like royalty. The staff knew me, and every visit felt welcoming. El Cometa never disappoints. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and every visit reminds me why I fell in love with tacos in the first place.
