Cocktails are uniquely crafted, the ambiance pulls you right in and the bar is probably the best place to be! It's very clean as well!

I'm a dirty martini girl and of course I'd recommend blue cheese stuffed olives! The fries were crispy, hot and served as a nice sized portion as a shareable. Customer service is 10/10, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable on the menu items and engagement with guests. I've had the opportunity to visit twice and this will be one of my frequent regular visits while here in El Paso!

Parking lot was crazy busy on a Thursday evening. I recommend making a reservation if you are looking to dine in on an evening or on the weekend. I can't say I'd recommend anything we got. The entrees had such potential but were not executed well. If you're looking for a plate to knock your socks off, avoid this place. If you're looking for a fun atmosphere , this place will provide that. My favorite part of the meal was the free bread and roasted spread. For the price, this place should do better. Hostess was very warm and welcoming. Our server was friendly but rushing around and needed to slow down. He ended up bringing us the wrong wine. And it was awkward telling him that's not what we ordered. An honest mistake on a busy night so we weren't mad but it's still awkward for everyone.

Usually, my bank will slow down processing credit card transactions when something triggers fraudulent activity. When I did my monthly bill relook, I noticed that the math was not mathing between the receipt that was brought to my table, and the final receipt that was given to me by the cashier. The final bill at the cashier added $1.38 to it. Most of us don't pay attention to what is going on with small amounts like that. The reason why I was able to figure out the difference is because I always photograph the 'table receipt' out of habit, just in case. Well, snapping that photo paid off this time. I don't know what went on with the credit card charge that Carnitas Tio Juan sent to my bank, but it begs the question of whether some questionable charge was attempted on my card. BE VIGILENT!

When the food came, it was well presented, had good flavor, and the portion had me full too quickly. Rich, I believe was his name was all over the restaurant clearing tables, helping the two servers, restocking, you can tell he took pride in his work. The dining area was a decent size, the building is a little older, but for a local neighborhood restaurant for the price, quality of food and service, it's a good place to come.

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.
