    Okay, I do not say this lightly. But I may just have had the best tacos I've ever had in my life! I…read morewas looking around for a taco place in El Paso and this one popped up. Had multiple thousand Google reviews and they were all close to five stars. So I knew I had to check it out. It was super close to my hotel, so I popped in the car and found it without trouble. Trouble. Again, there is pretty limited parking so it's kind of hit and miss whether you'll find a spot or not. Fortunately, I did. When you walk up to the place, the building itself is pretty nondescript. They have a nice selection of outside seating, and your window to order is outside. Very nice lady at the counter gave me helpful suggestions and so I ordered three tacos and an amazing lime and cucumber fresca. Went in and sat down inside and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It definitely had more of an upscale bar vibe to it than a Taco shop. The waiter that brought out my tacos told me that it turns into more of a nightclub after hours. I may have to go check that out. The tacos themselves were absolutely off the chain! The tortillas were blue corn and everything on it tasted so fresh and so wonderful. The carnitas was fantastic, the brisket Taco was to die for and the blackened shrimp Taco was one of the best I've ever had. Had. The flavors were so balanced and on point, it was one of the most satisfying taco experiences I have had!! I will probably hit this place up a couple more times before I leave El Paso. If you are in El Paso, you probably already know about this place. But I'm telling you what you cannot go wrong for tacos and that lime/ cucumber fresca! Bottom line? It's about 10 hours drive from Las Vegas to El Paso. And this Taco shop will give me a great reason to do a road trip anytime. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out!

    There's a walk up window you order from and receive a number to place on the table when you find…read more an open seat. I love the different beers they offer here. The tables have some homemade sauces you can use in your tacos. I might be a little underwhelmed by the tacos here. They were just okay to me, nothing too special. Some aspects were definitely good, eg the tortillas were decent and seemed freshly made.

My mom made a reservation for 3 people, June 19th, 2026. Upon arrival, staff advised our table was occupied by other patrons, & would have to find another table. They proceeded to sit us at a table meant for 2. We did not fit comfortably, and plenty of other tables seemed available. I approached front desk and requested a change of table. The staff (3 women) proceeded to explain me about their reservations, table availability, restaurant occupancy, table #'s, etc. They were not polite, were flustered & stressed out. They were checking but stated it was not possible, I basically had to beg, to be moved to another table. it worked, and we got moved. This took about 10-15 minutes. it really was a hassle... I was ready to walk out...How could you start your dinning experience like this? Anyway, we ordered drinks, appetizers & main course, as soon as we got the 1st appetizer, a an employee came to the table she told us: They have other reservations, & need our table, and we need to rush so they can take care of their reservations. I could not believe her. By the way, no other patrons were getting rushed out, just us. This woman really ruined the mood. Ive never been told to eat quickly because there are other reservations in need of my table. I told her- to go ask other patrons for their table, and to STOP disturbing us. she walked away.. on to the food review: I got the Jamaica Mezcalita- it really was great tasting & a beautiful presentation in a coupe glass, nicely garnished. Highly recommended- or not? (the waitress told me to rush & get out?? Mezcal is meant to be zipped..) My mom had the mandarin mezcal drink- beautiful presentation, she loved it. See pictures. Appetizers: we had the Jalea de mariscos & tuna nikei. Beautiful presentation & delicious- ( but did we enjoy it? not really, were told to rush.) My parents each had the tacos de pulpo, I got the Maracuya Ceviche- again beautiful presentation & taste.. as we started eating, we had another visitor- the woman from the from desk, this time saying she was leaving, and she had the nerve to tell me to not stress out & enjoy, proceeded to mention everything about the reservations, tables etc. It was annoying. I told her- that's an internal restaurant issue, i dont work here, I am a customer. I dont even know why they kept burdening me with all their internal issues. I will say nobody had the courtesy to apologize. Not one person said- sorry for the inconvenience. All i wanted was to have a nice dinner with my parents & AMAR's staff made sure to made it uncomfortable and rude. Where do you hire your staff? Exception: Max the waiter, he did a good job, was pleasant Resumen en Espanol: Jamas en la vida nos habian dicho que comamos rapido por que necesitan la mesa para otra reserva. Increible. Que pena tener un contraste tan fuerte de comida deliciosa, con empleadas groseras y sin consideracion. Fue la cena mas incomoda de mi vida, no se disfruto la comida, ni el lugar y no puedo creer que nadie penso en la coordialidad de ofrecer una disculpa por los muchos inconvenientes. Me trataron como si yo fuese empleada del restaurante contándome todos los problemas internos que tienen y apurandome... A pesar de tener un muy buen menu, no lo recomiendo. Mucho menos en fin de semana. Son especialistas en mal servicio al cliente y arruinar experiencias. Amistades me habian comentado que el servicio era malo y desorganizado, pero decidi darles la oportunidad por que mi Mama tenia muchas ganas de ir.. mis amigas tenian toda la razon!

The vibes were great in the restaurant, very calm, relaxing, and honestly a well needed change of pace compared to the fast paced downtown, which is loud and chaotic. Would definitely come back to try the food next! 10/10 on the drinks!

I came in alone today because I wanted the Lamb shawarms and had a little time to kill. It's also a fun art deco sort of environment, so that's fun. Thing started going downhill when the shawarma arrived with raw halved cherry tomatoes. One of the great things about that sandwich is the grilled tomatoes. It cuts the sharpness of the tomatoes and gives a beautiful sweetness to them. The server delivered the plate and ran... I am only exaggerating slightly. I didn't see him for 10 minutes while I nibbled at the (undercooked) fries. I intentionally drink down my tea so that an empty glass might catch his attention and he finally arrived. I absolutely hate sending food back and thought about removing them, but it's just not the same. In any case, he apologized, took the plate away and promised to come back with more tea and water. Eventually the plate came back and the tea and water were refilled shortly after that. Two of the tomatoes seem to have almost reached the bare minimum definition of grilled. The other 6 were fresh, plump, and still firm. I scraped them all off at that point. To add to the issues, the plate doesn't seem to have been under the heat lamp. The undercooked fries returned, only now they were cold. It's moderately busy and they seem to only have one server working. He's friendly and polite if a bit rushed by the understaffing. The sandwich even without the tomatoes? Delicious. The fries were a huge disappointment today and they are usually delicious. I'm gonna chalk this up to a collision of bad luck. I genuinely love the food here, but I definitely should have gone elsewhere tonight.
