Stopped here with my husband to break a long drive and loved it. A fairly simple place but they had cute artistic napkin holders and some decorations including a flag of the Dominican Republic which helped clarify it was also Dominican food, not just Puerto Rican which I initially thought because they served mofongo. We got everything to go and it was outstandingly delicious. Here's what we tried: -Pastel en hoja that's filled with sauteed eggplant. it's masa is made with plantains and/ or other tubers, then cooked in plantain/ green banana leaf. It was delicious. -Mofongo. We got Mofongo solo without meat- A dish made from fried and mashed green plantains and garlic sauce. It's so far the best mofongo I have ever had. The pieces of fried green plantains were super freshly fried and the mofongo had strong garlic flavors. Vegetable empanada: To our surprise the vegetables were loose inside and were pickled/ tart which was delicious. The empanada dough was so fresh and so delicious and we both felt we never had such a seriously good and fresh empanada. This place made a super strong start to a food-er trip! Very vegan and vegetarian friendly. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite! read more

Cute small place, but with a chef with a lot of pride in his cooking, it was delicious and would certainly go back!

Here once again... This is definitely the best Dominican food in the El Paso area. Today I had a Dominican classic. Mangu. It's delicious. I accompanied the Mangu with Pernil and Longaniza. read more

Antojitos Caribeños - Mangu, Pernil y Longaniza - Dominican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

The food was amazing! We enjoyed everything that we tried. There doesn't seem to be one bad thing on the menu. The food came out fast and the service was great! The sauce that comes with the food is delicious as well. I stopped by to try it while staying in El Paso. If I ever come back, I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Everything was wonderful from the food, the service and Ambiance!!!! We're Dominican family from Massachusetts visiting El Paso, Texas.

Antojitos Caribeños is a neat Caribbean Food Truck that I found at a Food Truck Revolution stop and was eager to try. There is A LOT of Latin American food establishments in El Paso, however 99% of them feature cuisine from the same country, so when I can I take opportunity to try out what the other countries eat. My experience with Caribbean Food is limited to Cuban sandwiches and Jamaican Jerk Chicken (and goat), so I really don't have a baseline to rate AC's food or compare it to other establishments, all I can tell you is that as a newcomer I liked the new food that I ate. That's not to say the food is completely alien, as there were similarities to other dishes from Latin America that I do know, like empanadas, they all seem to do empanadas. I've been eating a lot of Pulled Pork recently, and for the past decade, so the pork Chimi caught my attention. Think of it as a Latin Pulled Pork Sandwich, because that's what it is. The pork is tender and the way it is seasoned gives it a distinct flavor from American BBQ Pulled Pork, so it's definitely not the same, and it is served in grilled bread, kind of like a really good torta. There's a sauce that goes with it, but I didn't have any because it is mayo-based, I don't know what kind of difference it will make on your Chimi. I liked the Chimi I ate, even if it didn't have its special sauce, I don't know how it compares to other Chimis out there because it was my first, but I would definitely eat it again. There are other items on the menu that peaked my interest, so I'll be returning to check them out. I'll save you the google search because it is not straightforward: Chimis are a traditional Dominican sandwich. Chimi is in short for "Chimichurris," and the term is borrowed from the popular Argentine dishes, however it does not contain (sadly) Argentinian Chimichurri sauce. The More You Know! Fortunately the menu at the Antojitos Caribeños truck has pictures, so you're not just ordering blindly. The guy running the truck was super nice and thoroughly described the dishes to me. It's worth checking out, especially if you are also new to Caribbean food. They post their current location on their facebook page. read more
