    Farmers omelet
    Katrina P.

    Came for breakfast on Saturday morning. They opened a little later than we were hoping for, but it ended up worth our wait. We ate outside, since the weather was perfect. My husband ordered the Chihuomelet with a side of veggies, and ordered the Farmers omelet with a side of bacon. My husband's omelet was super tasty. My omelet was divine!! One of the best omelets I've ever had! The sauce was absolutely amazing! The bacon on the other hand was rather disappointing- it was obviously just reheated bacon. All the other ingredients seemed fresh, so I'm not sure why they cut corners on that one.

    Piedmont has so many vegan options, it's crazy - don't know what to choose. It has a cozy, hole in the wall kind of atmosphere, in a good way. The service was fast, and our server was patient - even when my coworker took forever in deciding her menu and asked a thousand questions, since she was a picky eater. I had the pad thai, with tofu scramble, and extra veggies. It was delicious. I ordered it medium, so they just added sriracha to a bland base, which was a bit of a disappointment for me honestly. But they made it up with the vegan dessert, which was yummy!!!! If you're in El Paso, and want to go to a place with both meat and vegan options - I'd highly recommend this place!

    We came here for brunch without any expectations since the menu seemed a bit outdated on Yelp. However, there was such a large selection of menu items (most are vegan/vegan option available) that we got so overwhelmed with what to order. My sibling is vegan so this was an awesome place to try out in El Paso. I ordered the matcha buckwheat pancakes and a side of sunnyside up eggs. The pancakes itself were okay, I didn't expect a fruity syrup since I usually prefer the classic maple or pancake syrup. The pancakes were also a bit grainy and earthy, which I expected with the matcha and buckwheat combo. I wouldn't order this again but it was definitely fun to try! The eggs were possibly the best eggs i've ever had, orange with runny yolks. We ordered the bang bang broccoli and yum yum hash browns to share. Both were absolutely delicious. The sautéed vegetables on the side were a bit vinegary, which I loved since I enjoy pickled veggies. Both of these dishes were vegan and didn't taste like it at all! The bang bang broccoli was super crispy and the sauce was even better, I could've dipped everything in it. My sibling got the loaded smothered biscuits and green pozole. Both were great. The biscuits were soft and fluffy, the seitan bits were so crispy it tasted like bacon. The pozole was citrusy and yummy with the crispy seitan as well. There was indoor and outdoor seating. With the weather being over 100 degrees, we sat outside which had a mist fan above the table. Our server was kind enough to give suggestions and routinely checked on our table. Our food also took about 15-20 minutes to come out. Everything we tried was amazing and I cant wait to come back for their other dishes :)

    This is one of the best brunch spots in northwest El Paso that survived the pandemic. They opened in 2019. Our server, Kiana knew the menu extremely well with knowledge of incredidents and preparation details. I did a Yelp search for brunch spots and this one on west side had high marks. They have an extensive menu of breakfast & lunch selections + extensive list of alcoholic drinks including cocktails, mocktails, beer and wine. They have plesant music playing inside with wood laminate chairs and tables. The outside patio is shaded with misters. Kiana brought our orders quickly and kept our water glasses filled. I got a full stack of Matcha Buckwheat pancakes with assorted fruit and Grenadine syrup. Found out later than the pancakes were gluten free. Very light despite the buckwheat. A wonderful brunch.

    I have been wanting to try Piedmont for awhile. The vegan cuisine in El Paso is limited and although it has widen in recent years with local businesses and restaurants accommodating more dietary needs. As a home cook who enjoys cooking and doesn't go out to eat much, there has only been about two solid local restaurants or businesses worth eating out for vegan cuisine. Especially considering innovation and eating quality healthy food. I am glad to add this local business as an option to consider. Although I did not get the chance to dine in for the complete experience, I was pleased to finally try and they did not disappoint. When I called in my order the customer service was great. I was greeted and asked about the level of heat I would like along with them repeating my order and estimated time of my order being complete. As I arrived there was a two families also arriving and being seated and a couple was already dining in. Although there is limited tables indoors, they definitely make the most of the space. If you are planning to dine in I would suggest to call ahead especially if you have a big party. One of the families mentioned was a party of like 7 and it seemed to be the biggest table to accommodate indoors. My order was ready which was great. The packaging, presentation, and portion especially for to go was impressive. I love Thai food and Pad Thai is one of those deal breakers for Thai cuisine. I loved the bold spice and rich flavors as it was unique and innovative along with the two different ways the tofu was prepared being fried and scrambled. This definitely was worth the experience and I hope I can dine in soon to taste more of their vegan options. One thing I have noticed in El Paso is consistency in quality and customer service is poor. I was pleased Piedmont delivered on flavors, presentation, and service. I look forward to supporting them more and tasting more of the vegan options. I do appreciate they offer non-vegan too for family and friends to enjoy a meal with different dietary choices.

    Visiting El Paso, and we eat a mostly vegetarian/vegan diet. We happened to be on the Westside running errands, and found Piedmont. I was happy with the diverse selection of foods that were either vegan or vegetarian without everything being a Impossible or Beyond (which is not our preference). For the most part, the options seemed healthy as well--not all vegan restaurants or foods are healthy when they are trying to match the flavor of meat-based dishes. We ordered shishito peppers, a falafel wrap with veggies on the side, nachos, and stuffed grape leaves. Everything was tasty and the ingredients seemed fresh. We would definitely come back. The service was great as well, our server was very friendly and helped me choose between very different options. She also checked in on us regularly and made sure our waters were full on a very hot day. There's also a full bar with extensive options. I ordered a glass of wine and the pour seemed just a little short, but it was probably just an illusion because of the shape of the glass.

    Pozole rojo w seitan, biscuits & gravy

    Not a lot of vegan / vegetarian friendly spots in El Paso so happy to have stopped by Piedmont cafe! The pozole rojo with seitan was sooooo yummy, and the biscuits & gravy were good too! Server was really friendly and the food came out quick ! Looking forward to coming back to try more food

    From start to finish a total gem! A friend at work was talking about this new restaurant that had just opened up from the owners who had previously started another delicious restaurant I went to a couple of years back - so of course I had to try it! I'm so glad I did because everything was top notch. The dining area is more casual and the chairs are not meant for hours of sitting, but the food speaks for itself - and it is good! There are vegan options as well as meaty options and plenty of hearty greens - I love a healthy menu that is packed with flavor and makes you forget you're eating well! The service was great and our server came by to check on us often. Everything we ate was very good but the take home here was definitely the passion fruit tres leches cake. Oh. My. Goodness. Best. Dessert. In. Texas. How do I describe dessert perfection? Well I can't, so you'll just have to go try it! It is the most delectable thing you'll have in Texas hands down. Flaky but not dry, sweet and tart but not too sweet and not too tart, words do not justly describe.. wish I had some right now!!

    Very weird vibe. Food took over 30 minutes to arrive. Even though there was no one there. And the service was cold and rude.

    I must start this review with compliments to the chef. Each dish was cooked to perfection, I…read moreordered the duck mole and it was fantastic. The concept is brilliant, Mexican and American flavors elevated. The boutique hotel is beautiful, a reminder to future diners to look up as they have flowy lights that go up and down (mesmerizing). I really looked forward to this place and wanted to like it but the service just dimmed the meal. We went for a graduation celebration and did not feel that. I do acknowledge that we show up quite late since the graduation ended late. We placed our orders right before the kitchen closed. Throughout the meal, we were not offered extra bread, a dessert menu, or even a mere "Congratulations" from our server. A kind gentleman who seemed like the chef did come to check on the food and congratulate us. He seemed to actually care about the guests. I would love to come back to see if the service improves because the cooking deserves 5 stars here.

Walking in, there was a cool flower art installation hanging over the tables, which was a really unique touch and probably one of the more memorable parts of the space. That said, the overall vibe felt a little bland and didn't quite match the hype we were expecting. Food-wise, the experience was a bit mixed. We ordered a ribeye, but it unfortunately came out pretty cold. We let our server know and he did take it back so the kitchen could warm it up, which we appreciated. The table bread that came out was also on the dry side and not very impressive. The spicy margarita ended up being one of the better parts of the meal. It wasn't actually on the menu, but they made one for us and it was really good. We also ordered fries, which were solid, and the bone marrow (called "Mexican butter") was easily the highlight! It sauce that it came with! 10/10 It was rich, flavorful, and definitely the best thing we tried. ‼One quick heads-up for anyone visiting: there's a nail sticking out of the handrail going down the stairs to the bathroom, so just be careful grabbing the railing on the way down.‼ Overall, there were a couple good items, but the experience felt a little underwhelming compared to the expectations from the reviews. Maybe it was just an off night.

We started with a vegan pozole, inspired by the way the dish evolved over centuries. It was hearty, flavorful, and came with a fascinating history lesson. The sopes made with nixtamalized corn were rich and satisfying, with a personal touch -- tied to memories of his father making arrachera on weekends. From Chinese influences on tortillas and soy-sauced chiles, to Lebanese-Jewish inspired hummus with chipotle, and even Moorish Spain's paella -- every plate highlighted how cultures have blended to shape Borderland flavors. I loved how passionate Chef Rulis is about connecting food, family, and history. The dishes were not only delicious, but each one told a story. I'm so glad El Paso will get to experience this now beyond his smaller private dinners. Can't wait to go back when they officially reopen -- this is going to be a must-visit restaurant in El Paso!
