    Birria tacos.
    Monica M.

    Delicious birria tacos! Salsa bar was flavor central! Friendly staff. It was right next to our hotel. Very fresh food.

    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.

    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. 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!

    Solid spot!! Very affordable! Large serving sizes! Good vibes! Lots of parking space!

    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.

    Plato Mexicano
    Chris S.

    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. The place was neatly decorated, clean, service was pretty nice and the food.... Oh man, awesome. 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

I could say so much for you to believe me, and it honestly starts with the speedy (and kind) service, flavorful profiles and the pricing! My first visit I just simply couldn't believe it. Each visit, I try something new and I must say that I'm hooked on the Jamaica Margarita (with the tajin rim), and the pork shoulder taco, as well as the chicken taco! The Baja shrimp taco is also in my top 3! The staff is kind, energetic and will remember you; not just from personal experience but from my observations as well. Service is fast, food is hot and it's a great place to be! There is no wi-fi, but it is a FUN and engaging place for sure! I'd recommend a bar seat if you're lucky Warning: You may leave planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill.

One of the servers, Jonah, threw away my "half-eaten" food without asking if I was finished. I didn't realize that was his decision to make, and when I brought it up, he rolled his eyes and responded with a horrible attitude. On a positive note, Sara behind the bar was fantastic, and Alexis was incredibly kind. They both provided the level of service I've come to expect from Taconeta. I hope management addresses this, because one negative interaction shouldn't overshadow the great staff and food that usually keep me coming back.

It's a fast food restaurant with a very simple interaction model - know your order, give them your order, wait, get your order. They do have some old school flair.

I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.
