Cinnamon roll
Wendy H.

Going early is the best way to ensure all the freshest donuts! Delicious smells and no wait this morning. Quick and easy checkout made my Sunday morning.

Cannoli
Frederick U.

When I got in El Paso, there has always been a debate on which bakery is better: Gussie's or Bowie. Both are very popular bakeries within the different sides of El Paso and it was something that I was very eager to visit. The first bakery that I visited was Gussie. It was a much nicer place and vibes, but when it comes to Bowie, this place stood out. The pastries here are much better, more options, and the price is better as well. My favorite is their cannoli and I would say that it is on par with the famous canoli place in Boston. Parking is a bit hard to find as you have to use street parking and it is usually full, but it is manageable.

Pan dulce
José A.

Iconic and famous Latino Bakery in historic Segundo Barrio is a treat! Great pan dulce and plenty of street parking, offers visitors, and neighbors, a chance to eat this delicacy.

Chocolate donut
Delilah C.

Great prices, delicious pastries! If you buy a coffee you get a free donut! Service was quick and efficient.

I think this bakery is so well known and so established in El Paso that it doesn't even need my review... HERE IT IS ANYWAYS! I got out of work in the morning and was freezing I was craving something sweet and hot (or maybe just an excuse to get some comfy food), my coworkers told me about this bakery I know is well known in El Paso but I've never tried it before. It was a line outside at 8am once inside the place smelled delicious and though first my plan was to get only one piece of bread and tamales once I was there I couldn't stop ordering stuff; I had 2 empanadas (apple and pineapple) a chocolate donut, a concha and half dozen of tamales. As you can see the donut didn't survive the road, I was putting it in my mouth as I was driving home , the bread so soft and warm perfect! I'm not a huge fan of conchas I know they're like a Mexican bakery favorite but I just don't see the hype, well let me tell you THIS concha made me believe all my dreams can become true, there's something about the way they make their dough here that the final result is bread so soft and not too "panudo" as my mom would say meaning that it's too thick and dry. Tamales tamales I love tamales but honestly my moms are the best in the world....or so I thought this tamales are so fluffy so greasy (in the perfect way) and the filling is delicious usually when they sell tamales that's where they make their mistake but not Bowie, these tamales are so good I had to call my mom with tears in my face telling her that her tamales are no longer the best in the world. If you haven't got a pan dulce lately go to Bowie and you'll be smiling as I've been this whole week

Had to visit downtown and decided to stop here midday. Even it was around 1pm the bakery had a great selection of pastries. I had been craving cannolis for about a month and I'm glad I found them, these are good. The fruit small pie it's filled with cool whip, I was expecting a tart at bottom but no. The best pastry was the pineapple empanada, but I have no pics as I ate as soon as I could.

I've been a loyal customer of this establishment since 2008. 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.

It…read morecomes with 5 prebuttered baked potatoes- average sized, a large serving of Charro beans, one small queso fundido with Chorizo, ( they charged me for the chorizo and the queso did not have it). 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.

Eat tacos. Sip tequila. Repeat…read more Probably one of the best taco restaurants I've been to in El Paso! I could say so much for you to believe me, and it honestly starts with the speedy (and kind) service, flavorful profiles and the pricing! My first visit I just simply couldn't believe it. Each visit, I try something new and I must say that I'm hooked on the Jamaica Margarita (with the tajin rim), and the pork shoulder taco, as well as the chicken taco! The Baja shrimp taco is also in my top 3! The staff is kind, energetic and will remember you; not just from personal experience but from my observations as well. Service is fast, food is hot and it's a great place to be! There is no wi-fi, but it is a FUN and engaging place for sure! I'd recommend a bar seat if you're lucky Warning: You may leave planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill.

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.
