I think solid is a perfect word for this place. Not the best Mexican food I've ever had, but not the worst. I bumped it up to four stars for the super friendly service and the excellent aguas frescas. We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here. What you get is a good amount of decent food at a good price served by great people. read more

Heard this place was good. I get there and am seated immediately. The waitress brought drinks quickly and took my order. The combo plate sounded good. I ordered that and got a ton of food. The serving was huge. Everything looked fresh. When I finished, man, was i full. Everything on that plate was excellent. Good flavor. The place was clean and the people were nice. I only had one day but when i come back in town , I would eat here again. read more

We come to El Paso a couple times a month for business. I'm continuously trying to find a good mom n pop Mexican restaurant. So fave this a shot today since the Yelp reviews were pretty good. Got here for a late breakfast and it's a quaint spot right off the frontage road. The decor inside definitely takes you to Mexico. Seems to be a family owned and they are super friendly. They brought us a cup of what appeared to be milky oatmeal and said, try it. So we did and it was good but different. The chips and guacamole and excellent! Love that the chips are homemade and a big serving of their delicious guacamole! I had the enchiladas combination. Beef and chicken. It was pretty good. The sauce was really good as well. The portions here are no joke. My partner had the chilaquiles and really liked it. Once again a big portion. All this for under $20 a person. We'll come back for sure! read more

Great value place for 3 starving males (an adult and 2 teenagers). Slow services at the beginning but once placed the order, the foods came out quickly. Simply, direct, favorably and yummy. We're starving but it was a, not big, huge meal and we're only able to tackle 2/3 of it. Very satisfying meal. read more

Staying at a nearby hotel so I grabbed dinner here for convenience. Very glad I did! Holy cow this was a great dinner. I ordered it to-go and it was ready fast. I ordered the Plato Mexicano. She gave me kids for 6 cups of salsa to go from their awesome salsa bar. I only tried three but they were all amazing. One in particular that has the roasted chiles in it was amazing! The to-go dinner was amazing. Served in a metal container to keep it hot. The taquitos were very good, crisp and flavorful. The chile Relleno was very good. The horchata was delicious as well. They even sent me off with a half of an avacado with the meal. Will definitely eat here again. Super friendly! read more

In one week I've come back twice!! Prices are outstanding! The fresh salsa bar is to die for ! The staff are attentive and friendly. I've gotten both orders to go and was not disappointed. They give you the plastic cups to get your own salsa---- love love love!! And the serving sizes are huge. It's obviously a Texas or El Paso thing but you can get baked potatoes as a side and I love that also!! For 12$ I got 6 Al pastor tacos, beans, baked potato and cilantro, lime and radishes. I wish I could take them home with me! read more

I have seen this restaurant for years and have never tried it, mostly because the name is fun and interesting but never enough for me to actually want to try it. My first impression, just like my overarching opinion of most El Paso food, is that it is mediocre at best, and disappointing on average. When i first arrived, the servers were all doing something else, some on their phones and others just talking to each other, and i waited about 3 minutes just to be seated. My advice would be for them to take the "wait to be seated" sign down as it seemed like they expected me to seat myself. For food, I ordered the Al pastor tacos because I saw the vertical cooking style of the meat which I rarely ever see and was excited to see this is El Paso. My server brought me a water and chips and the warm rice pudding type bowl (forgive me if I don't know what it actually is I'm from SC lol). The chips were average and the salsas overarchingly needed salt and more depth of flavor. The rice pudding was bland and bordered between sweet and not at all. It was a strange combo. When my tacos came, I ordered the rice and beans alongside it which I regret not getting the cilantro and radishes as one of my sides (I personally think that should be free but I digress). Both the rice and beans were bland. The beans tasted like they were out of a can and the rice was not well seasoned and had very little flavor. I hoped the Al Pastor tacos would make up for it but the meat was bland as well. The tacos also didn't come with a lime or any fixings and since the salsas weren't really good either, it ended up just being an overarching disappointing experience. I wanted to give this restaurant two stars but the food wasn't bad... It just wasn't good. If one of my friends wanted to come here, I would say it's not the best in town but that I'm still down. Hopefully this was just a bad day for them but seeing how literally every single item I ordered and tasted lacked any flavor, I have a feeling this place is just your average mom and Pop that may have been good at one point but have gotten lazy because of the popularity. I look forward to the day when people in El Paso actually start getting serious about their food because most restaurants I try very rarely wow me. Here's to that continued adventure and journey. read more

This spot is a gem. Stopped here on a roadtrip and it holds up as the best street taco I've had. The meat is marinated to perfection and the salsas are incredible! I bought a tub of the medium salsa to take home it was so good. The owners here should consider selling their salsas separately in jars, I'd be first in line! The ambiance is authentic. Our server was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to mix and match tacos custom with the meal. He also sent us off with horchata in a to go cup which was really nice! We were surprised at the affordable price given the quality of the tacos. Highly recommend a trip here when in the area! read more

Order dinner on Uber Eats and it got here pretty quickly. Off the rip, food looks amazing. I did notice that they didn't pay attention to the notes I left asking for no radishes. I chose cilantro for a side and rice. I was hoping for more rice than I received especially after it tasted so dang good; seriously best Mexican rice I've ever had! The tacos were pretty small so I'm happy it came with six. I ordered the Al Pastor taco plate which has 6 tacos and 2 sides. The meat was good I can tell they use vinegar as a marinade or seasoning; very tender and flavorful. I highly recommend using the red dipping sauce they provide. It made the tacos flavor pop and added the right amount of heat that lingered a little. I didn't use them dark sauce they added due to it not looking appealing. The pic de gallo came in the small tiny plastic cup as they salsa so it was not enough for all six tacos. Overall really good tacos! I docked them a star due to the tacos being small, small portion of pico de gallo, small portion of rice, and the cilantro being considered as a side instead of included, as well as adding radishes after instructions stated not to read more

Hole in the wall spot just off the freeway with a decent amount of parking and a friendly and kind staff. Unfortunately we had a less than ideal experience, I had placed on online order around 7:15pm and was told it would be ready around 7:40. I wanted about 40 minutes past 7:40 until I finally received my order. I did feel bad as I could tell the staff was really trying to get everything together for me but the service was just slow. Folks who came in to sit down after me got their food in minutes. Just beware if you are ordering ahead! The food itself was alright. Chips were very stale, noticeably so. Green enchiladas had a decent taste but the quesadillas were small and barely had any cheese in them. I will say - the horchata was outstanding, definitely the highlight. Disappointing as they have many good reviews. read more

first time in el paso, coming from miami. Was excited but they were ran out of birria so I ordered two quesadilla's and veggie burrito. I didn't even include a photo of the chicharron which were more similar to the ones you get at the store than fresh pork. Maybe i ordered the wrong things on the menu. God bless. read more

The food was mid not worth you money at all especially with these expensive prices. Me and my family did not have the best experience here the service was good unlike other aspects of this restaurant. My food was cold and the cilantro still had dirt on it meaning they didn't wash it correctly same goes for the onion. Worse of all my sister found a fly in her horchata water. This is disappointing especially cause it's a Hispanic taco place, this is not how us Mexicans treat it guests. Sadly I forgot to take pictures:( read more

I am in El Paso once a month and I go to Tacos Chinampa for every meal. I tip well and thought I was accepted even though i am white. Tonight I got there at 8:35. They close at nine and they refuse to see me. I've never been treated like this in my life. I always take care of my servers one night. The lady even came out and thanked me for my tip oh well. So I walked down to Denny's. I guess this is where I eat now. I guess they don't like white people. read more

So happy we stopped off for lunch at Tacos Chinampa our last day in El Paso. Got the Tacos Al Pastor and the Red Chile enchiladas (both by the recommendation of our server). For a whopping $17 it was a pretty awesome meal. The Al Pastor meat was to die for! Incredibly tender and exploding with flavor. It also came with some fried onions, little salad items, and a baked potato. All in all a really fantastic plate. The enchiladas were very good as well (and also came with refried beans, rice, and a salad) but honestly next time I would just double up on those tacos. Comes with fresh tortilla chips and they have a "salsa island" with maybe 12 or so different options to get soufflé cups of. Some of these were genuinely spicy too which was a nice treat. The sweet heat one with the pineapple was probably our favorite but the salsa verde was also quite tasty. Add on a few "Victoria's" and it was definitely a great quick meal that was affordable! read more

Tried this restaurant for a to-go order almost at closing time. The staff were very friendly and took the order. They provided containers to carry all the different salsa, peppers and condiments. We waited for a few minutes and the food was ready really fast. The restaurant is right next to the Hilton Garden Inn and has plenty of parking. Conveniently located. We got back to the hotel and tasted the food. Simple yet tasty preparation. The spicy salsa verde was definitely my favorite. It enhanced the flavor of the chicken fajitas and rice. My colleague enjoyed her food too. You cannot go wrong with authentic Mexican food here. Pricing : Moderate Will I return : Definitely! read more

Wow. I Didnt totally know what to expect here for dinner. I am staying next door and have on several occasions previously. But, having never patronized this establishment before I thought I'd give it a whirl. This is an older place and id even say a little rust by design. This is an authentic experience and I am now bummed that I've not been here before. I wanted to experiment and ordered the Chichirrone for an appitizer... holy hell... I could have eaten this for the meal. Tasty super crunchy chichirone in guacamole served with a stack if fresh hot tortillas... delicious! My main was soon to arrive after only accomplishing 1/2 of the app. I had Al Pastor and Asada Tacos. Nothing short of tastey, tender and plentiful deliciousness. Their tacos are the small tortilla style, commonly referred to as street tacos.. I like them this way as they are easy to handle and delicious. All said, staff, food and service was a hit... you wont be disappointed. read more
