Which were good (lacked a little crisp but had good flavor). The green salsa at the table was fantastic, a little slice but a ton of flavor. Everything was fresh, the chips were freshly baked, the rice was not day old rice like at so many places around here it was good and actually had some flavor, the beans were good (the bright orange color of the beans surprised me, turmeric? Regardless they were delicious). Unfortunately the meat had zero spices, not even salt. The only reason not taking off a star is the salsa paired perfectly with the shredded beef tacos and the green chili burger, but a little bit of salt would have elevated the meal for sure. There was no salt on the meat in any of the meals we'd ordered. The coffee was good and strong, the mugs weren't tiny little mugs they actually gave you enough coffee to enjoy and the experience over all was wonderful. My mom spoke Spanish, I border on no sabo, pero intendo and my kids speak no Spanish at all, the menu was all Spanish but the waitress was patient and sweet with every order. Definitely worth the visit.

So you can from time to time run into the mayor or some city representatives. Overall a very cool place that is definitely part of El Paso's history.

It was very heavy and very cheesy. There was something super heavy about that I cant describe. The staff was super nice and got us our food and drinks and refilled our salsa n chips often. My friend had the mole item and felt it was way too sweet/cocoa on it. Overall I would've wanted to try the other machaca items and other things. The vibe is very homely and chill, bit of a hole in the wall atmosphere.

We were in town for the weekend and decided to give this place a try. We didn't seek it out by…read morename, but since we were already in the area, Yelp pointed us in the right direction--and I'm glad it did. There is paid parking available; it's under $1.50 for one hour, though it did take about 15 minutes to download the app and get everything set up before heading inside. The food was outstanding. The restaurant itself is very nice, spacious, and features large windows with a great downtown view. Service was prompt, and our server, Omar, was excellent--very friendly and knowledgeable. He recommended the Chicken Tampiqueña, which I chose. My dad ordered the Butter Chicken, and my mom had the stuffed poblano. Every dish was impressive. I would have to agree when they say, "organically sourced ingredients made with love". We didn't try dessert this time, but the dessert menu looked fantastic. I did order their Old Fashioned, which I'd rate a solid 8/10--strong, well-balanced, and finished with a pleasant sweetness. Would I recommend this spot? Absolutely. Will I be returning? Without a doubt--hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu.

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.

Stopped at El Taquito for breakfast during our move from WA to TX, and it was such a great choice…read more The staff was incredibly friendly, and the whole place had that warm, local-favorite vibe. We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!

The aquachile was too sour in my opinion and the main dish is really really salty, almost inedible. For this price point I was excepting a lot more. I love Mexican seafood but this place was a miss!

Came here from El Paso with a group for a weekend show. Note that if you want to come on a day of…read morea show you must arrive by 6:30 pm. More on that later. There is a parking lot so if you are driving it's fairly easy to get a spot. They do have folks watching the lot but unsure how useful they are as last time a member of our group visited someone hit their car and those responsible for watching and helping in the lot didn't even get the license plate of the offender. We had a reservation for 6:30 pm and upon arrival we were sat pretty quickly though it was certainly not the best seat as we were positioned toward the back behind a pillar that blocks a central part of the stage area. The view was ok, but certainly not the greatest. Food & Drink - 4* We had a few drinks, appetizers, and entrees. The fundido and guacamole were both good. The aguachile shrimp was fresh and very citrusy. The flautas were crunchy and the ribeye steak was cooked perfectly though explaining "medio raro" was shockingly frustrating even with several fluent bilingual speakers in the group. My response to it all was, "Medio raro no es medio bien, totalmente diferente; el medio raro es antes que el medio." I wouldn't say it's worth of five star but it was all certainly above average. Service - 2* Here's the biggest knock of the entire visit. We arrived at 6:30 pm. We were sat by 6:35-6:40 pm. We didn't have our drink order taken until about 7:00 pm. We didn't receive our drinks for another 15 minutes. We fortunately placed our appetizer order at the same time as the drinks so the appetizers showed up about 7:30 pm. He took our entree order about 30 minutes later, around 8 pm. The show starts at 8:30 pm, we didn't receive our food until 8:45-8:50 pm. This meant we largely had to eat our entire entree in the dark since a good portion of the show is with the lights off. We did notice that at no point in time did ALL tables have dishes on their table, which made us wonder if they don't even have enough plates for the entire seating capacity. They were very quick to take empty plates which made us further suspect that this was a constraint. Overall this makes for a very frustrating experience. Pricing - 4* Subjectively I think the entrees and drinks are fairly priced all things considered. Expect to spend about $30-50 USD a person for a couple of drinks and food. There is a charge for the show, which is reasonable given the length of the show is 1.5 hours. Overall - 3.25* The overall experience was nice though the service to get drinks and food in a timely capacity was definitely the most frustrating part. I don't know if this is because they just don't know how to handle a full house, don't have the back house kitchen capacity, not enough plates to serve everyone, or just purposely go slow to keep you wanting to drink more? Id recommend arriving around 5:45-6 pm in order to hopefully avoid eating in the dark. We enjoyed the show though the impersonator of Juan Gabriel was fairly "eh." Of all the performances we all agreed his was the least entertaining and could be cut out in place of something better. This is a great show for all ages and definitely highlights the different regional cultures well. Everyone enjoyed it, the food is good, just don't expect to be served quickly. If they could improve that, it can easily be 4*.

Okay, I do not say this lightly. But I may just have had the best tacos I've ever had in my life! I…read morewas looking around for a taco place in El Paso and this one popped up. Had multiple thousand Google reviews and they were all close to five stars. So I knew I had to check it out. It was super close to my hotel, so I popped in the car and found it without trouble. Trouble. Again, there is pretty limited parking so it's kind of hit and miss whether you'll find a spot or not. Fortunately, I did. When you walk up to the place, the building itself is pretty nondescript. They have a nice selection of outside seating, and your window to order is outside. Very nice lady at the counter gave me helpful suggestions and so I ordered three tacos and an amazing lime and cucumber fresca. Went in and sat down inside and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It definitely had more of an upscale bar vibe to it than a Taco shop. The waiter that brought out my tacos told me that it turns into more of a nightclub after hours. I may have to go check that out. The tacos themselves were absolutely off the chain! The tortillas were blue corn and everything on it tasted so fresh and so wonderful. The carnitas was fantastic, the brisket Taco was to die for and the blackened shrimp Taco was one of the best I've ever had. Had. The flavors were so balanced and on point, it was one of the most satisfying taco experiences I have had!! I will probably hit this place up a couple more times before I leave El Paso. If you are in El Paso, you probably already know about this place. But I'm telling you what you cannot go wrong for tacos and that lime/ cucumber fresca! Bottom line? It's about 10 hours drive from Las Vegas to El Paso. And this Taco shop will give me a great reason to do a road trip anytime. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out!
