    Excellent customer from Daniel! Fantastic location close to hotels in the El Paso downtown area. Quality food with large portion sizes. Be careful how you if you come in hungry! The appetizer are huge! I got Chile Rellenos, which was totally delicious but huge! There 3 of them. Left no room for the mixed fajita platter!

    Queso fundido
    Dawn B.

    Had great service. Professional, helpful, and kind. They provided great recommendations and I would highly recommend giving the place a chance to provide you exceptional service.

    Chicken tacos and it comes with rice, beans and sour cream on a separate plate.

    Food and drinks are delicious. I also like the cozy atmosphere and great service. I recommend the tacos de pastor and you can share a plate since it's enough food for two people.

    Flautas, fideo and Mexican plater
    Juan S.

    Stopped here on our way home based on fact they serve fideo soup. my wife loves it. After we found parking on the street we came in. Nice decor and ambiance was cool. We got of course fideo soup, flautas and the Mexican plater. Food was really good, the Chile relleno was different in a good way, I'm going to try it at home. Highly recommend it if you're in the downtown El Paso.

    Cucumber cocktail and jalapeño salsa with freshly made chips and my own decanter of water.

    I have found my favorite restaurant in EP and my favorite Mexican restaurant north of the border OF ALL TIMES! The decor and servers are funky cool. The Mexican plate was the best meal I have had in years! So flavorful and unique! I've been traveling to EP for years and am going to question my colleagues tomorrow on why I had to discover this solo!!!! So many details like a decanter of water and jalepeno salsa, oh my!

    View of the dining room looking into the bar area.

    The Yelp community comes through again with a great recommendation! We were staying at the Holiday Inn Express near the convention center and wanted a nearby place with good food. Barrio came through all the way. Great ambiance, great food and drink, great service. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a good local restaurant.

    Bistek Tacos

    I placed an order for Bistek tacos it comes with beans and rice, there are a lot of great options to choose from. There is upbeat music playing on at the restaurant, there is a lot of tables. The server was friendly.

    Typical business trip to El Paso and had a couple hours before heading to the airport. My co-worker…read morehad been here before and insisted on trying this again. It's a little hard to find tucked back in a little strip center. The inside is interesting decor with different theme walls. What was nice is that the staff was very friendly. It was close to closing time so we ordered fast and got our chips and salsa quickly. Loved the homemade chips and that they were still warm. Salsa was ok. I liked my fajitas but I wasn't as blown away with the taste as my co-worker. I had a few pieces of meat that had grizzle when I bit into them. It wasn't as seasoned as I was hoping too. The beans and rice were ok but didn't appear scratch made.

    Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle. It's got heat as it's also creamy...I would call it medium (I like spicy food.) If you're getting them to go, you might want the sauce and toppings on the side. They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

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.

The food arrived within about 10 minutes for our group of six, which was impressive. The complimentary fried tortillas were very good, and the salsa was enjoyable as well. I ordered al pastor tacos. The flavor was good, but the meat was very dry. I liked the portion size, especially the amount of meat, but it would have been excellent if it were not so dry.

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.

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.

One of the servers, Jonah, threw away my "half-eaten" food without asking if I was finished.

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.
