Um... hell to the yes. The Pick 'N' Shovel is my absolute favorite place to eat at UTEP. I mean,…read morec'mon... it's a buffet for crying out loud, how could I not? And they have a sundae bar... a sundae bar! I'm not a big fan of fast food so the fact that there's a place on campus that utilizes fresh foods is simply a blessing. I wouldn't call the food blow-your-mind, but it's good, filling, and fresh. Options change out regularly and I know they offer breakfast, lunch, and brunch on the weekends (they might also have dinner, but I haven't had the pleasure of checking it out yet). The buffet isn't huge, but there's tons of options and at least a couple of made-to-order choices. I somehow always end up with a plate of potatoes in some form topped with cheese and green onions. Drinks are self-serve and you can choose from sodas, waters (they sometimes have flavored waters), teas, and a few other options depending on the time of day you go. And like I said, they have a sundae bar! Soft serve ice cream with multiple topping choices. How much is all of this you ask? Under $9 and you can sit there as long as you want using up all the wi-fi your heart desires. Nice. 100% recommend when on campus.

None of the fruit juice machines work, only one fountain drink machine works. The food was mediocre…read moreand hard as if it was sitting for a while. I am sad and my day is ruined. Not enough options to justify the cost. All of the tables are dirty and there was no one cleaning them. The dessert is the only redeeming quality

A calm and elegant evening at Mesa Street Grill. My God, I had not been there in ages, and it…read moreturned into an absolutely delightful night. Raoul, our server, was attentive, polished, and genuinely pleasant throughout the evening. The kitchen remains one of the very best in El Paso -- frankly far superior to Anson 11, which too often feels overrated and inconsistent. The fresh Ahi Tuna was outstanding. The bone marrow was exquisite in both refinement and flavor, rich and literally melting in my mouth. The Branzino was cooked to perfection. Add a great bottle of Champagne Crystal Roederer Rose with a perfectly balanced French Martini, and the evening became close to flawless. I Mesa Street Grill still knows how to deliver a true dining experience. We will absolutely be back. Tomorrow they have a special Memorial Day Weekend Sunday Brunch that will be for sure very promising!!

Service was great...that's all I can say good about this place. Food was horrible. I'm shocked how…read moregross it was. There was no flavor, my shrimp was slimy, and my husband's steak was like eating rubber. It was at least cooked correctly to medium. I tried to get the shrimp down but wound up spitting my first and only bite out because it was absolutely vile. I don't mind paying for good food, but $150 for something that's not even close to edible is insane. I can't believe this place has decent reviews. Go somewhere else...anywhere else

Found this while driving around. It's a very nice small restaurant. Let me tell you it is a real…read moregood find. I was honestly shocked how many plates they offer in a small restaurant. Everything we ordered was fantastic! We ordered shrimp rolls and it normally comes with a peanut sauce, however, they have their own special sauce. I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised. The two plates ordered were also fantastic. Spicy cashew shrimp was one of the plates. It was very flavorful and had the right amount of sauce. It was not spicy as i thought it would be. Chicken mushroom was nice and sweet. The mushroom had an amazing taste! Will definitely return to try out more plates.

I have been a customer since they opened and were further up on Mesa. They used to have the most…read moredelicious spring rolls, filled with shrimp and crab meat. Their dipping sauce was like no other, light, fresh, spicy but not over powering with hints of lime, chile, fish sauce and rice vinegar. Now it is so watered down that it almost has no taste at all. The spring rolls are mostly rice Noodles and my last order had just one shrimp in the middle. My spring roll fell apart as soon as I picked it up. I also ordered Pad Thai. There were huge chunks of chicken which I needed to cut in order to eat without choking. There were a few small shrimp and no Tofu to be found. They used to top it with green scallions and they were also missing. What was missing most, was flavor. It was barely coated with any sauce so it just tasted like rice noodles. I hate complaining and posting a bad review for what used to be my favorite Thai restaurant, but this is the third time my food was less than appetizing. Last two times I ordered Cashew Chicken, and both times the cashews were so badly burnt that it made the dish inedible. I haven't seen the owner at the restaurant so maybe it's under different management, but I have tried to give it a second and even third chance, but I am done. I will miss the old Singapore Cafe food!
