    Beef Fajitas and Sea Food

    I'm not one to leave reviews but it was so good I had to. The hospitality was spectacular. Even more than that the food was so delicious. I got beef fajitas and they were the bomb.com. I highly recommend coming here. Again, I don't really leave reviews but 3 friends and I came here and we loved it. I just finished my leftovers at home and still just as tasty.

    I enjoyed this breakfast more than a Dennys or IHOP. Prices were reasonable and they were serving breakfast and lunch at 9:30am. The cheese eggs were some of the best scrambled eggs I have ever had. They were soft and cheesy. The French toast was made well and the bacon was crispy. The service was great and wait time was short. I would for sure go back here to try something else off their menu. It gave me a "mom and pop" feeling.

    There is seldom that you can find a great restaurant near home if you live in the Northeast side of town. Alas there is a little gem called Tejas Cafe and there food is delicious. I recently went on a Wednesday around 11:15 it wasn't busy at all. I ordered the Green Ground beef Enchiladas they were delicious I love cheese and they had the perfect amount. The waitress was friendly and attentive. As it got closer to 12 it filled ip fast inside. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    This restaurant has been a dyer staple for years and years! Originally a pizza inn, it still has the same booths! I felt a tiny bit nostalgic thinking back on a different time. I have to say first off, the service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and our server was extra nice! Now on to the food since that's really what is important. The plates are average sized, delicious refried beans, dry rice,little salad. The chile relleno was perfect along with the ground beef taco. The hard part for me to write about is the red chile used in the enchiladas. I judge Mexican restaurants by their salsa, and by their red chile. The salsa was pretty good. Not erhmagerd good but good. The red chile though, was orange. And didn't have flavor. No flavor. We are hoping it was just an off day and that the chef just forgot to put her foot in it. We'll go back and try again! Next time I'll have a big red beer! Oh and they're on the prettiest side of El Paso!

    I've eaten at this place quite a few times and it is great. The service is always great and the food is always fresh. I haven't had anything here that has let me down.

    We come here once a month or so for breakfast. Cheap and very good! Once a week, on Wednesdays, a group of friends meet for dinner. Tonights choice was here. Today I got the Philly with jalapenos instead of green peppers. My husband got the green chile chicken enchiladas. Our table ordered everything from the chile rellenos, shrimp bowl, tostadas, several Mexican combo plates and a cheeseburger! Everything was great! Service is always great. And did I mention they have the best banana splits in town?

My friend had the mole item and felt it was way too sweet/cocoa on it. Overall I would've wanted to try the other machaca items and other things.

I had just flown in from the airport, and my brother arranged it as a special family gathering. Everything started normally: we were seated, ordered our food, received our drinks, and enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Then my sister (who is LGBTQ+) stepped away to use the restroom. When she returned and sat down, a manager approached our table and loudly told her--in front of other diners--that "MEN cannot use the female restroom." My sister was mortified and humiliated by the public confrontation. The manager's tone and assumption were shocking and clearly discriminatory. We immediately got up and left without eating. This wasn't about enforcing any legitimate policy; it was rude, insensitive, and targeted. My adult sister is perfectly capable of reading the restroom signs herself--no one needed to police or shame her in such a way. The incident felt rooted in homophobia and transphobia from management. We will never return to this place, and we will actively discourage others--especially LGBTQ+ individuals and allies--from patronizing it. What should have been a joyful family milestone was ruined by bigotry. Avoid this establishment if you value respect and inclusivity.

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.
