    Picadillo with eggs.

    The food was delicious! The hash browns were crispy and golden brown just how I like them. The red chile tasted homemade and had good flavor. Will definitely return next time I am in town!

    I love coming here especially with my family. They have menudo and caldo everyday of the week. My favorite is the daily specials. The server ladies are sooo nice and always in a good mood, at least from what I've experienced every time I come. Another plate you should try out is the gorditas they are FIRE!!! Love love love the gordita plate. When I normally get the special I'll get the caldo de res and tacos de pollo. You only get two tacos but is so worth it!!! I'm a long time and forever customer here. Enjoy my pics :)

    Excellent appetizer!

    Very friendly service. Restaurant was very clean and welcoming. We are driving thru El Paso heading to Houston Texas and we are glad we stopped here. We were starving, driving from California to our new home in Texas, so this place had the right amount of food! Generous portions! Authentic Mexican food !!!

    Chilaquiles Red Plate.  The Green ones are tastier.

    Great food! Delicious too. Great service! Best place to bring your visibly friends and family. If your on a business trip, this is the place to bring your colleagues for a local and traditional Mexican food with homemade tortillas.

    What happened to the lunch box menudo?? Over cooked and nasty taste. Never again will I order menudo from here.

    One section ready to be filled up!

    I discovered El Cometa in 2019 through a friend, and it quickly became one of my favorite places to…read moreeat whenever I am in El Paso. Looking back, El Cometa is what started my taco obsession. Their tacos al pastor con queso are so good. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned, a little greasy in the best way, and topped with melted cheese. One thing I love is their salsa bar. I always grab the red salsa, green salsa, and guacamole. I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible. Last summer, the hostess recognized me right away and seated me immediately. She even remembered my order. I order the exact same thing every visit: tacos and two cans of Sprite. The fact that she has been there since I first started coming in 2019 makes every visit feel like coming home. From 2019 until I moved away in 2022, I went there almost every week. To eat here, everyone lines up at the cashier to place an order, but somehow I always felt like royalty. The staff knew me, and every visit felt welcoming. El Cometa never disappoints. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and every visit reminds me why I fell in love with tacos in the first place.

    Quick pit stop in El Paso for Mexican food. Very casual ambiance you order first and they bring the…read morefood to your table. While you wait you can go to the salsa bar which has a good variety. I'm always a sucker for green sauce and both green sauce were my favorites one mild one a little spicy. Service was quick. Food was decent. First and second menu items were our choices. The tacos al pastor were great, decent amount of meat on the tacos and flavorful. Flautas are more like taquitos very crunchy on the outside and the meat was tender. Price is affordable.

    They spit in the food and put entire eggshells in the breakfast sandwiches . Not just a few shells…read morea whole eggshell which can't be an accident. I dared to ask them to give me a buy one get one free croissant when they where high AF and didn't want to work . They were super irritable and were extremely high as I mentioned could smell the aroma of weed on their clothes . No I'm not exaggerating nor do I just make stuff up just for the sake of it . Save all the we are a professional establishment we would never BS for gullible people the employees are trash period and I promise they don't give a damn they might pretend to care but it's just a two faced move to save face . I rarely write stuff especially about fast food because I don't really expect much anyway but this is something that has to be said. This review is for the late night Friday crew on 12/15/23 .

    I usually never check in the mornings. I just realized I'm cheating myself for not doing so. After…read morethinking about it, this location deserves to be mentioned and rated. The morning manager Paola is so awesome! She is seriously the best manager ever. Nothing is ever wrong with my order and she is always, always smiling! What a great way to start off your morning. I come here because they offer a discount to law enforcement! That's a big plus for me, so coming here everyday is not to expensive! I usually drive through and pick up a salad! The salads are always fresh and I love the chicken. It looks like freshly made grilled chicken. I'm sure it's sent frozen but I tell you what, it doesn't taste like it at all. Overall, I'm giving this location a 5 star rating off their customer service and salads. I have eaten through most there menu and it's as equally good. Try a shake! They are yummy!!!
