    Sunrise Sunset: LIKE ORANGE JUICE ON STEROIDS
    Vic F.

    A TROPICAL OASIS IN THE CENTER OF EL PASO You would think it was a mirage in the middle of The Fountains at Farah, but in the El Paso desert, there is a spot near patches of green grass and cerulean water fountains that sells smoothies and quenches thirst. Upon entering this tight space, you escape the unforgiving desert heat and bask in a refreshing coolness surrounded by smoothies. The interior reminds me of a cruise ship with windows all around and you can watch the workers make smoothies in front of you. Definitely the place to cool down after walking and shopping in the outdoor mall. Now, how about those smoothies? The DRINKS: Sunrise Sunset: LIKE ORANGE JUICE ON STEROIDS The essential smoothie concoction composed of strawberries, pineapple, mango, orange juice, and ice. If the first slurp does not get you hooked, the next few will have you forgetting that you are drinking a healthy, vitamin-packed smoothie. The orange juice provides the citrusy, acidic flavor, further enhanced by the tropical notes of pineapple and mango and the lightly sweet strawberries. These smoothies are blended to the point where the ice fuses with the frozen fruits in a wonderful marriage leading to a flavor-packed slushy. Each slurp delivers a strong message of a full serving of fruits, vitamins, and minerals, like orange juice on steroids. I felt the orange juice was too dominant in flavor and could have shared more of the spotlight with the other fruits (-1 star). Honestly, the Sunrise Sunset tasted more like orange juice featuring strawberries, pineapple, and mango rather a smoothie composed of these fruits with an expression of each of their unique flavors. However, I was very pleased with the consistency of the smoothie and glad that no matter how much I slurped, there was zero chance of brain freeze. The VERDICT: HEALTH CONSCIOUS SMOOTHIES AND DESSERTS IN AN UNFORGIVING DESERT If you are shopping at The Fountains of Farah and passed by the Haagen Dazs unimpressed with the health options, then Tropical Smoothie Café is the place for your health conscious self. In a desert with unforgiving heat, this place will deliver a variety of smoothies made from fruits as well as dessert options like chocolate, peanut butter, sherbet, etc. They also feature a menu for your dining pleasure and to accompany your smoothie. The Sunrise Sunset smoothie can only be described as like orange juice on steroids with a tropical twist. It was definitely delicious, but tasted predominantly of orange juice, as opposed to a smoothie composed of more equal parts of pineapples, strawberries, and mangoes. Overall, I will be back to combat the year round heat with their smoothies. Looking forward to trying more and seeing you there.

    Staff is friendly and helpful as I can see they try to work fast and have the smoothies on time and accurate. I like the variety of food.

    The smoothies are my favorite and the detox and acai berry boost are a few of my favorites but the customer service is EXCELLENT. I did like that I can substitute a veggie or fruit with no extra charge. The Detox island smoothie has spinach that you cant even taste but that the healthy good side of it and its great for breakfast too. I did drink the acai one and it was Delicious and I asked for the left over in another small cup and there was no issues. Well hey I paid for it so dont throw it away, right. I like that they have healthy food as well.

After free parking in the garage close to La Madeline, my much better half & I (gimp)walked to this fine eatery. It was so clean inside, with bright/legible menus posted above the counter as well smaller/personal sheets available at the registers. The wait staff were all eager and ready to assist, in addition to maintaining the impeccable restaurant cleanliness. I enjoyed the nutty mixed up salad; my wife enjoyed a salmon sandwich (not on the menu but available because she asked for it) that included the sumptuous salad bar & chips. I did think about ordering a soup--it was a bit brisk outside, but inside the atmosphere is extremely pleasant. In fact, we decided to sit at one of the tables, and placed a locator number on the edge, definitely guaranteeing the cooked items were fresh! One thing caught my eye on the Northeast edge opposite the salad bar: FREE ice cream (vanilla/chocolate/swirl) on a small sugar cone. How could I resist?! This was the first time I'd ever eaten here, but it for sure won't be the last! Jason's Delivery certainly has my coveted "¡Wheel of Approval!" I was very impressed with everything, from entrance/ease of ordering & paying (all major credit cards/cash)/cleanliness/affability of staff. ¡I'll definitely return!

Thank You Javier!! I recently brought my bike in to have it checked over, swap handlebars from another bike, and replace the tires. The team took the time to inspect everything carefully and answered all of my questions with patience and knowledge. I never felt rushed, and I learned so much in the process.‍ A special thank you to Javier, Juan and Ricardo, who helped with my bike. Ricardo, who is about to celebrate his 19th birthday, has such a genuine passion for cycling, and it shows in the pride he takes in his work. It's wonderful to see young people who truly enjoy helping others. I also want to give a heartfelt thank you to the owner and the entire team for creating such a welcoming place. Their prices are very fair, their workmanship is excellent, and most importantly, they make you feel like family. You leave with confidence knowing your bike has been thoroughly checked and is ready for the road.‍ If you're looking for honest, knowledgeable, and friendly service, I highly recommend La Wheela. Thank you for all you do for the cycling community!‍ ‍ Keep Rolling and Keep Inspiring!

I noticed the place is mostly filled with people in gym clothing and will cell phones in hand, recording themselves..influencers...meh There was an odd smell in the building, and I only figured it out as we were leaving. It is a bit bothersome, to say the least. I really think they need to tone down the use of bathroom odorizers (you know, those things you stick on the wall, and they cover the bathroom smell) because that was the smell. Also they are in dire need of cleaning the a/c vents, as they were grossly covered in dust and dirt. The service was OK. You have to take yourself to the register to pay for your meal, but that is not announced anywhere or posted as such. You can hang out for quite a while waiting for the bill.

So, if you want to try any of their food or beverages you go to their website: https://www.urbanofoodgroupep.com/?l=en-US then select Urbano Sandwicheria and order. Last, select a time to pick up and method of payment. They accept apple pay and I love that. I ordered the day before because I get too busy during the morning. When you go pick up your food their establishment is located at the lower level of an office building. Park in the back of the building and you will be right there vs parking at the front and having to take the elevator down. Once you are there, your food will be bagged and available on a table with your name on it. I really liked that they had my food ready on time. So, it was an easy transaction. The office building were they are located has tables to eat on the 1st floor. By the way this place is super nice and I highly recommend if you need some quiet time. The food is affordable, healthy and tasty. I highly suggest if you are looking for a not heavy yet tasty lunch. The owner is related to the former Burritos Pampas owners. They deliver and do caterings. I loved their ice cream. #online-only #latinx-owned #latinx

My favorites: Jardín sandwich - I'm an omnivore, so I often add cheese or protein to this otherwise vegetarian sandwich, but it is really delicious on its own. I haven't had a sandwich like it elsewhere. Great flavor and great texture. And the red pepper flakes are pretty mild but add a tiny little kick, mmmm. I like it best toasted on the multigrain bread. Limeade - I buy a gallon every few weeks. Really great. I drink a little as is, but mostly cut it with some Pelligrino for a lighter, lower/calorie beverage. (And on occasion might cut it with some vodka or tequila!) The customer service is great. See note pictured - it's the second time I've gotten a note...and since the sandwich is delivered in a classic paper lunch bag, the note always reminds me of childhood, when my Dad would put a note or draw a face on my lunch. Funny to get as an adult, but kinda sweet!
