Nice find. Easy location and nice service and food that is VALUE priced. Green chili enchiladas were good topped with an egg that made it even better. Check this place out. Very local.

E.P. exPatriot, in town for a family reunion woke up on the east side on a Saturday morning. MAPS sent me here,what a discovery! I knew I was in right place when the sign said "Menudo Everyday!" Large bowl of love..,bread and coffee... I'd have paid much more than 5 and some change, service was excellent,friendly but not overbearing. After I was ready to take on the day. I can only image how good the rest of the menu is cuz the menudo was as good as any I've had and I've had allot!

Huevos rancheros

Best huevos rancheros I've had, the eggs are cooked perfectly and the sauce is great, definitely packs a punch so if you're not a fan of spice I wouldn't recommend. The prices are very good and the serving of food provided is perfect. The salsa is so good and they provide this complimentary with chips when you walk in. The menudo is definitely worth having, perfect serving and they give you a good ratio of hominy and meat to soup. The restaurant itself is small and cozy and the staff is friendly. The wait time for food can vary depending on the day. I've come on a Saturday and waited almost 30 minutes for my food but I've also waited as little as 5 minutes on a Sunday. Definitely a little gem worth visiting if your in the area. I'm rating a 4 because I've only had a couple of items on the menu but I will definitely be back to try more. I'll also mention they do have football games on Sunday's.

The inside is very comfy and goes along with their home feel cooking! Great atmosphere !

Albas is that place you go to when you know you want great home style cooking that never disappoints. The Menudo is the best I've had in the country and I've eaten it everywhere. When you order eggs over medium or easy you get the eggs you ordered. The staff is consistent, attentive and friendly. The price is very reasonable considering how fresh the food is. I recommend the menudo, Round Hotdog (Hotdog served in a hamburger bun) and their Huevos Rancheros. I love this place and come when I'm in town for work!

While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. 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.

About 8 large chile toreados, grilled onions.and plenty of corn tortillas. The charro beans were mostly bean soup. I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.

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.

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.

You can genuinely taste the care and attention that goes into making them. Nothing feels rushed, thrown together, or carelessly prepared. The flavors are on point, the ingredients come together beautifully, and you can tell these aren't tacos made just to get an order out the door. There's something special about a place that takes pride in even the smallest details, and this place absolutely delivers. I'd rather have one perfectly made taco than five mediocre ones, and these people clearly understand that philosophy. Absolutely deserving of five stars. I'll definitely be back with a hot chick for a date!

One of the servers, Jonah, threw away my "half-eaten" food without asking if I was finished. I didn't realize that was his decision to make, and when I brought it up, he rolled his eyes and responded with a horrible attitude. On a positive note, Sara behind the bar was fantastic, and Alexis was incredibly kind. They both provided the level of service I've come to expect from Taconeta. I hope management addresses this, because one negative interaction shouldn't overshadow the great staff and food that usually keep me coming back.
