Good food reasonable prices. But apparently the AC was not working very well because it was uncomfortably warm in there.

Good selection on menu. Super friendly staff great customer service.

I've been to El Paso Restaurant several times and, on May 27th that night probably was busy but, it was about an hour almost to closing time and me and some family met up there. The service could and should had been better. I had in the past. I think they were short of workers. Food and my margarita was good. Overall it was a decent night

If I could I would rate a 0 out of 5. Food was horrible. Service was horrible. To start off, the tables were sticky. The tortillas tasted sour and old. We had ordered a hard taco and the taco shell LITERALLY tasted like cardboard. Rice tasted weird and beans had no taste.The salsa tasted straight up like marinara sauce. The enchiladas that come with beef had a horrendous taste. Fries seemed undercooked. Guacamole tasted bad it was brown!!!Employees were very confused. The only thing that was enjoyable were the chips, but we had to add salt. We left very unsatisfied with our experience. I do not recommend this place. If you would like delicious Mexican food go to el ranchito or anywhere else.

I went to El Paso yesterday had to stand and wait for someone to greet me for 10 minutes while the girls were talking and on the phone then I was told to just sit anywhere. After I sat at the bar it took 15 minutes to get noticed meanwhile the waitress was serving the table right behind me but never said anything to me. Then after I was finally given service the chips tasted like cardboard and when my enchiladas came the guy acted like the plate was so hot which only took 4 minutes to get to my table after being ordered so as you can imagine the food was cold and the plate wasn’t even hot. I was still charged full price for my meal. During my time here I also witnessed an employee handling trash and then handling cups and cut limes and juices with the same gloves on that he used while handling trash. Horrible experience would not recommend this establishment. I will definitely be calling the health department, city code inspector and fda for an investigation of this establishment.

The only things that really stood out as great was the queso and the service from our waiter. I ordered the pastor fajitas and the meat was really dry. My wife ordered some big burrito thing and ground beef was really really dry and had no flavor, the margaritas were expensive and had no fruit taste to them what so ever just had an excessive amount of tequila in them, calling them strong would be an understatement. The Dr Pepper was flat with no carbonation at all. The queso was delicious and so is the homemade salsa. The waiter really stood out, don’t remember his name but he had braces. Really did a great job making sure we were well taken care of Even though they were short staffed. My card was charged twice though so I’m not sure who was at fault for that so what was a 74$ ticket with $26 gratuity added turned into a total of $176 ticket with change. I don’t think the food and alcohol is worth how expensive the meal was, but again the service was outstanding by the waiter

Nice place, good food, my waitress, Norma was fantastic! I like the outdoor seating. Everyone was really nice!

Food was pretty good. I got the camarones al la diabla. Pretty spicy. My entire in laws are Hispanic and they enjoyed the food. Definitely not Tex-Mex

We always order the beef fajitas for two. Their portions are very satisfying and the meat is always so juicy and tender. Their salsa is always fresh and authentic. I also ordered the queso fundido and it never disappoints. Great option for getting your TexMex fix!

Just the facts as I experienced it: The floors were dangerously slick, the service was ok, the food wasn’t that great. Won’t go back.
