    Bean soup starter

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and the people were nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I only had one day but when i come back in town , I would eat here again.

    Oatmeal??

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor inside definitely takes you to Mexico.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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.

    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!

    Neat and clean and decorated nicely.

    We were looking for an authentic place to eat while in El Paso and we found it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was neatly decorated, clean, service was pretty nice and the food.... Oh man, awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had some chicken street tacos and they had some sautéed onions that were to die for. Definitely go back!

    Authentic! 2 chicken and 2 asada tacos w/ rice and beans and drink for $11 plus a salsa buffet. Great experience!

    Great service and authentic food! I ordered the lunch special and got two asada and two chicken tacos w rice and beans. Complimentary salsa bar with very delicious options as well as a sweet oatmeal with almond and condensed milk.

    Food was delicious. Definitely a local joint for people. We went there because the hotel was literally 2 mins away. Service was quick. Flies were irritating!

    Avena y salsa!
    Yezy M.

    First time- nicely and attending service. Self yourself salsa Got a sample of a drinkable with melon and rum. After that a small bowel of Avena (oatmeal) Choose the 6 plate tacos. However, cilantro and onions were a side choice Chicken tacos were ok. My favorite were al pastor Service - do visit and get your own experience. Thanks for the quick and friendly hospitality. Until next time.!

    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!

    6-Pack Al Pastor Tacos

    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.

    The food at Tacos Chinampa tastes absolutely amazing, and the prices are so low they ought to be illegal ;-) The staff is fast and friendly; they get your order in fast and bring your food as soon as it's ready - you really can't go wrong eating here! Tip: Tuesday is Taco Tuesday

    Delicious food! Stopped in for lunch while driving between Scottsdale and Dallas. We had a delicious meal. I had the chile relleno and my husband had the six tacos - three Asada and three chicken. Everything was tasty! Great services, tasty, complementary chips with salsa bar (help yourself).

    I stopped here, about six months ago, and had a great time. I had some great food, good beer, taps…read moreare clean and the chow is original. Came back today, was in a bit of a cranky mood and short of patience. I was greeted as I stood up to the bar even though the bartender Moses was insanely busy at the time. I got a menu and a beer quickly, and took a seat. I ordered the brisket tacos, I had remembered them as epic the last time and I was not disappointed. Fresh taste, the brisket was delicious and I cleaned up the 3 tacos within minutes. Washed it down with a cold Dos XX and I was in my food endorphins rich happy place. Literally, everybody in the bar was friendly, everybody's laughing and joking, it just has that great sports bar roadhouse feel. The air smells of good food instead of stale beer, there's the classics of pool and darts, if you can't have a good time here you probably won't be happy anywhere. Shout out to Moses running the front and Jonathan crushing the food in the back. This has to be the first time I have ever been approached by both the bartender and the cook coming to check on me, they both demonstrate the great quality among successful hospitality professionals. Yes, I know this is wordy, but let's just be basic now. The food was friggin great, the beer tasted good, i'm coming back, and I'm bringing others with me.

    The same bartender Rosy created a situation claiming that she did not feel safe with me around but…read moreI was in there for 3 hours and she said nothing to me. I literally did nothing besides walk in the bar and talk to the people I know. She is extremely unprofessional and when she found out that I reported her unprofessionalism she retaliated by creating situation to get the result that she wanted (me leaving). She will talk about you behind your back to other customers. Even the cook called me the hard "er" if you know what I mean. This was nothing more than a racial scheme to be petty and racist. It's okay, though. I'm used to it but this level or racism is appalling.
