Reviews With Photos - Sazon by Chef Rulis

Korean Fried Chicken Tacos
Joe L.

Food was legit! Fusion creations - between Italian, Korean, & local Mexican cuisine. Really creative flavors. Beer selection was deep with both draft and bottle/can options. Ordered: Korean tacos, Taquitos, Pasta Chihuahua Service was excellent and attentive. Ambiance was chill and perfect for a dinner date! Coming back again!

Edamame
Claudia F.

The amount of plants here is amazing! Such a refreshing experience. We sat outside and enjoyed the EP summer heat. The staff were very friendly. There were only a handful of customers on a weekend evening. Our food came quickly. We had the edamame and a pizza. The edamame sounded interesting but the flavor was lacking. The pizza was surprisingly good. Thin crispy crust. I am vegan so I asked for build your own since all of the selections of the pizzas on the menu were meat based. We enjoyed our outing.

Double date kinda night!
Judy B.

What a deliciously international experience! I have been wanting to try this place for the longest time just because of their selection of different types of food. It's a rotating menu so I was a bit let down when I didn't see the oxtail tostadas like I originally wanted. But thankfully it was too easy to find another delicious meal. Immediately, I saw lamb lollipops and i was sold! Im a sucker for lamb and it came with rice and a mango chutney. So so good!! You can order a rack of 3 or 6 and very affordable. Fun theme to the decor of the place. They decked it out with lots of plants and had sort of a island theme to it. Definitely made it a perfect and fun place for a double date night! My friends and husband ordered a customized pizza, the calabacitas with chicken, a pasta dish, sweet potato fries, and cheese curds which were all excellent. We will definitely be back again soon!

Carnitas

Restaurant is now called Sazon by Chef Ruli. All new menu. Definitely worth a try. Will be back. More hipster friendly.

Pesto Fries
Brenda M.

We went at 1130, no lunch crowd but maybe understaffed. Took awhile for someone to take our drink order. Then we were ready to order and ordered appetizers and she said she would be back for the actual food. Again, maybe understaffed in The kitchen. We ordered the Pesto fries- pretty good if you love cilantro. Small portion for 1 max 2. Then ordered shrimp nachos. I was expecting loads of things to be on them. Sounds fresh. Nope just regular nachos with few shrimp on there. I ordered a build my own pizza and I felt like a Hawaiian pizza, yes with pineapple! It was ok. Nothing wowed me. My brother did order the chicken w Calibacitas that looked bomb to be honest. I would go back just to try it. The pictures I took arent good ones as there was a red tint where we sat so pictures look red. Ambiance is ok. They have music and it's not a big place. The patio looked like it could be nicer if they fixed it up a bit.

Receipt showing automatic gratuity for a party of 5.
Eric D.

Huge disappointment. From when you first walk in you see a sign that says they charge you for credit card transactions. Raise your price, don't look like 3% makes a huge difference to you. It looks tacky. Our server was decent. I asked about the habanero oil and what exactly it was. She said it is just like it sounds. However, when it arrived, it was actually GARLIC habanero oil. It was bad. Had I known it had garlic I would not have ordered it. I was looking for something with spice. When the food came out, 3 of us got our food and the other 2 had to wait an additional 10 minutes. What is that? Some better timing is needed as this is completely unnecessary. Then when the check had an automatic gratuity added for a party of 5, that was the final decision... This was our first and last time going here.

Chihuahua Pasta
Alex W.

I heard Ruli's was on Guy Fieri's places to visit when going to El Paso so I was really excited to see what great food this place would have to offer. During my visit, the restaurant was takeout only so unfortunately I wasn't able to get the full experience. Food: I got the Chihuahua Pasta as seen on Diners, Dine-Ins and Dives as well as an appetizer of the pesto fries. The pesto fries were underwhelming even though it was real pesto on the fries. They were barely warm and somehow really lacked any flavor. The Chihuahua Pasta I was super excited for but as soon as I opened it I realized it was just going to be a regular pasta dish. The noodles were cooked well and the meat was decently tasty, but it is far from being anywhere good enough to invoke a place on a tv show. I will hope to come back one day when it is completely open to update my review but 4 out of 5 stars for what seems like a restaurant that has slowly gone downhill since it's spot on tv.

Ox Tail Tostadas
Michelle M.

While in El Paso, I took a chance at a family meal at Rulis. The menu is not typical of what I usually have, yet it was yummy! The Potato Poblano Soup was super tasty without being too hot or spicy. Also, I loved the bread! My Ox Tail Tostadas were delicious and nothing like I've had before. Make sure to place the pickled cabbage on top. I left the chili sauce off since it was too spicy for me, yet the green sauce was good. I tasted my child's pasta, and it's similar to what I make at home - super buttery and garlicky. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and while we had to wait a bit for the check, the waitstaff was nice and accommodated our requests. The layout of the seating area is a bit odd, yet for our party of 6, we had plenty of room. Can't wait to return!

I love this restaurant for lunch but please turn the noise down. That includes the overhead 'disturbing' music & TV. Thanks.

I couldn't get past the extremely poor quality menu and over priced items to stay and see if it's any good.

This place is GOOD! Just wish they offered more non-bread items other than salad!! Also they need to be more vegetarian friendly!!
