    What a delightful time we had at Martita's. Wonderful servers, delicious food, handmade tortillas. The restaurant is so cute with the decor.

    We tried this for the first time after a recommendation. Our lunch was delicious! This was a kid friendly restaurant but great atmosphere. We'll be back for sure!

    Pancakes, hash brown and egg whites
    Aaron R.

    The pancakes have a homemade taste and came with some crispy hash browns that didn't taste bad themselves either, while the egg whites were what you would expect them to be. The food isn't bad but I felt it didn't stand out a lot either. Although coming from an early meeting every single one of those elements hit the spot. The service was good and attentive. The parking lot is spacious so if you're going in with hunger knocking loudly on your door it won't take you much to have your car parked and yourself through the entrance. You pay at the end of your meal by walking towards the exit. The tortillas are freshly made there too and you can see it. Don't get me wrong, overall the food was good so if you want to give it a try it is definitely worth it. You can ask for special request on the preparation of your eggs and the ambiance was chill. The name doesn't strike me as a type of Mexican cuisine but that's besides the point. Just a curious note in case you drive pass and read the sing and crave some Mexican food. Provecho!

    Huevos rancheros
    J. A.

    Much different than the Carolina location. Huevos rancheros were trash! Not one good thing on the plate. Beans were watery and bland, ranchero sauce tasted like unseasoned canned tomatoes, and the hash browns and bacon were soggy and undercooked! One of the worst rancheros I've ever had the misfortune of eating. Left half the plate.

    The Lunch Box is affordable, delicious, has always had great costumer service, and gives you a familiar and comfortable feeling. This is the only Mexican Restaurant I eat rice from because it is delicious. They make hand made their flour tortillas on the spot. The restaurant is kinda hidden so make sure from Montana turn on Buckner. If you like soups and you feel under the weather I highly recommend the chicken soup. The restaurant consists of several dinning rooms which makes iT perfect for group reunions etc plus they cater.

    Hamburger steak with chile con queso. mmmMMMMM!!!! I had this for breakfast. It's what my belly wanted.

    Love the food love the service and LOVE that they have full menu all day errday. Get there for breakfast but you feeling dinner? Then you get yourself some dinner. You do what your belly desires there. Great service, always friendly, even when it's packed. Freshly made tortillas when you walk in, you catch that homemade aroma, make you feel like you're at your abuelitas house. Local gem. Hit it up!

    Gross. Ew. I'm not sure how this place stays busy. My food came out wrong. The waitress keyed it in incorrectly. The food was then just luke warm. After having issue after issue I just stop telling the waitress any issues we had. The service was super horrible, not sure if she was a nice waitress or what. But once I have to send back an order twice, that is when a manager should come and apologize. That didn't happen. I get there are times when issues are gonna happen and I never agree to take things off the check, I just want the food to come out right. The lady at the register asked was everything ok, I didn't say yes and she continued to ring me up. My inability to say, yes it was great should have been key that it was not a good experience. I'm definitely not visiting this location. Try the valley location as it is much better service and food. Can't even review the food because it never came out in an edible manner.

    I often try a place several times before leaving a review. The Lunch Box has been consistent with superior service and food quality. Tables are spaced apart and the restaurant is very clean. I feel safe eating here for the most part. Tried the combo plates, green chicken enchiladas and Chile rellenos which were all delicious. The beans and rice here are also some of the best. Our servers have always been very courteous. The menu here is extensive and with authentic Mexican cuisine. The interior of the restaurant is welcoming as well.

I kept it classic with waffles, bacon, and eggs--and it absolutely hit the mark. The waffles were light, fluffy, and perfectly golden, the bacon was cooked just right, and everything came out fresh and satisfying. Simple comfort food done right. But what really elevated the experience was the atmosphere. They had live musical entertainment by Louie, who was incredible. He played a mix of hits from yesterday and today, moving effortlessly between country & western, contemporary favorites, and traditional Spanish songs. His versatility created a warm, lively environment that both staff and customers clearly enjoyed--it added something special you don't find everywhere. Service was just as impressive. Our server, XAY, had a bright, welcoming smile and provided outstanding service from start to finish. They offered great suggestions on local favorites and specials, which made the experience feel personal rather than routine. The vibe overall is relaxed, inviting, and very "El Paso"--a place where you can sit, enjoy your meal, and stay a while. Overall: Delicious, well-executed brunch classics Live music that enhances the experience (not overwhelms it) Exceptional, friendly service Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere Would I go back? Without a doubt. This is more than just brunch--it's an experience.

I arrived just after 8:30 am, but there was plenty of room. I got seated at the bar, and got to see everything. I asked for coffee, and it came quick and hot. Then i took a look at the menu, but the nice thing about the bar is that you can see everything that was ordered get prepped. I ordered a pozole rojo. It was a good choice, according to me... it was a lot of food. It came with a slice of toasted and buttered bolillo bread. It was loaded with more pork, than hominy - a lot. The server came by to ask if I needed a box. The Junction is a diner, with a railroad ambiance. Plenty of train station themes, I think there were a lot of clocks on the wall - but I don't think that they were working... or that they were on time. I noticed a couple of plates that I would want to try... the chicken fried steak, the biscuits and gravy with fried eggs on top, peach cobber side, the fresh biscuit with chipotle butter. It all looked good. The breakfast tacos seemed basic, but a lot of folks ordered them - they must know. There is seating inside, table and bar, and outside under the shade. I saw enough that I would return with Liz (...and the kids). I recommend, but I do recommend getting there early. It's a popular locale.

We are not sure what happened, but the place changed. The old staff (who were relaxed and fun to be around) are all gone, the delicious food we kept returning to have is also gone, replaced by a menu that doesn't know what exactly this restaurant wants to be (tacos, fried chicken, attempt at French menu items, etc). They have 6 different kinds of French toast. We tasted 2 of them, and they have the same taste. Just different toppings. The price for the French toast with eggs, bacon and home fries was $17. Now they charge $18 just for 2 slices of brioche with some sauce that resembles the old Banana Foster sauce, and an additional $6 for the eggs, bacon and home fries. Disappointing, and more expensive than it's worth. Walking into a restaurant to be held hostage by some speech about a small store selling books inside the restaurant?! Yeah, don't do that. If we hadn't already ordered, we would have left. No refill on water, no inquiry about any other drinks. I wasn't even finished with my meal and the server slapped the check on the table and walked away. If that doesn't make you feel "welcome to leave", I don't know what does. Looking around, I find it unacceptable to bring food to the table 5 minutes apart for every person at the table. The staff now wears embroidered shirts with the restaurant logo (except for one, she was just chewing her gum while taking orders- also, ew), and the atmosphere has changed from casual to "we wanna be high end, we made some money so now we want you to pay more". Disappointing.

For starters the atmosphere was so cute. Absolutely loved the bar and hanging pots everywhere. Such a clean restaurant and cute vibe. Our waitress was very nice and friendly to us. So no issues there! For drinks I got their berry lemonade which tasted just like lemon juice. I had to request for sugar to be added since it was so sour so beware. My food had came out and to be honest I'm just a little bit disappointed. The rigatoni was cooked but the sauce for it was really not tasty? Like there was almost not a flavor I can taste. Of course there was something but it was very plain and barely even there. It also was not spicy whatsoever. I added grilled chicken too and oh boy was that dry dry DRY. The burrata personally I'm not a fan in general so of course I wouldn't be a fan this time either but they gave a nice little plate full of it. They added some oiled toasted bread and it was way too crispy in my opinion. My partner got the chicken Parmesan and his dish tasted great! Very juicy chicken and cooked all the way. The sauce was perfect too nice and flavorful and great pairing with the chicken. His butter noodles were just like regular butter noodles so not bad. Finally the crème brûlée. Probably the most disappointing dish we ordered. It took repeated stabs to break the sugar glaze on top. Me and my partner were honestly thinking that they added the cream on top to hide how burnt it was actually. Unfortunately because the glaze was so thick and burnt it made the rest of the cream taste have the burnt flavor. It was sad because my partner was looking forward to this desert. Also took wayyy longer to arrive than our entrées. I will say that the waitress was very helpful and she actually covered the crème Brulé. I didn't even ask she just offered, I think she could tell that we didn't enjoy it and I had nicely told her it wasn't what we were expecting so thank you sincerely. Overall I think this is a perfect spot to maybe try drinks and hang with friends. Food was okay, wouldn't try it again in that regard but overall a decent spot here in El Paso if you're looking for something new. Maybe best to ask what's their best dish to serve. Overall thank you.
