    Honey lavender coffee
    Sylvia S.

    We loved visiting Cafe Piro! We had heard excellent things about it and it had been on my list of places to go to in Socorro, TX. We were welcomed by one of the owners and the menu and drinks selection were explained to us. All the syrups used in the lattes are homemade. I tried a delicious honey lavender latte and ordered a mollete. My husband had the pozole. We shared an ube chocolate cake that was deliciously moist and flavorful! The restaurant was beautifully styled and every wall had art that made you think you were in a mini art gallery! I would definitely recommend coming here for coffee and brunch! A unique thing about this restaurant is that it's plates and cups are all handmade and offer a unique vibe to the food!

    Had such a great meal and time here! First, impression was menu is tiny. 4 meals offered and plenty of teas and coffees. So then i thought maybe its not a restaurant but more of a lounge coffee place that offers a few meals. We were starving and we ordered too much because i thought pozole will not fill me and a taco will not fill my father. HOWEVER, the meals were very filling! Wow! Delicious, unique, and healthy! Tacos are lions mane mushroom and freshly made tortillas and so flavorful! Just full of unique flavors! The pozole is hearty and packed with all sorts of goodness. I picked up little surprises with each bite. "Oooh pumpkin seeds". The little maranitos were freshly made and such a tasty treat. It's such a fun environment with a living area where people were studying and listening to music while enjoying teas and coffees. So it was 70$ but it was 3 of us and we had 3 tacos, 2 large pozole bowls, 2 jamaica drinks, 1 maranito latte, 1 order of maranitos pan dulce. We left full!

    Matcha latte

    Phenomenal food and friendly staff. Cafe is well decorated and had a cute sitting area with couches as well as multi colored tables for dining. Ordered the biscuit breakfast and a matcha latte. Mom had the mushroom tacos and they were very yummy. Highly recommend!!

    Quiche

    This is one of mine and my husband's favorite restaurants! Mel and Gabe always make us feel at home each and every time we go! The vibes are great, especially when you're one of the first few to arrive because there's always a calm, quiet energy with great music playing! Mel really puts her whole heart into cooking everything from farm fresh ingredients and it always comes out immaculate! We were one of the first few to try their first menu where they had lamb and veggies and it was..UH-mazing..(it became our spot after that) but my all time favorite HAS TO BE THE QUICHE. Doesn't matter which quiche you get..(the green chili one is my absolute fave though!) Get both if they're available or one of each and share like my husband and I do! Can't wait for our next visit!

    Breakfast Menu

    10/10 overall experience!! If you are visiting Cafe Piró is A MUST!! From the chill music, relaxed vibes, to the beautiful artwork and homemade ceramic cups and playes, this place truly takes your breath away! Wonderful service on top of such a beautiful interior design. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the Molléte toast which is like an open face sandwich. Ingredients listed above all blended well together. If you're looking for a savory and fulfilling breakfast I highly suggest. If anyone comes to visit us again in El Paso my boyfriend and I will most definitely bring them to Café Piro!

    This Cafe is impressive inside and out. I ordered the Tres Hermanas Posole soup aka 3 sisters. I was served a nice coffee called Cafe Piro with a dehydrated orange slice on top by the owner Gabe Padilla. It has a nice eye pleasing environment that has a great energy. Go check it out.

    Our son brought us here for our anniversary. It was totally worth the drive from Las Cruces, NM. Such a cute building & as soon as you walk in you know this is going to be an awesome experience. Started with an orange espresso old fashioned. The best espresso I've ever had. Then absolutely enjoyed a quiche. The ambience was warm & inviting. The staff is very friendly. We are already talking about the next time we come! Highly recommend!

    This is such a cute place. I enjoyed the ambience so much. The service was awesome the hosts were very kind and warm. We had the tacos and the mole flight. portions are just right not too much not salty not greasy. The vegan queso fundido was AMAZING (oily of course) but it was so real. I was expecting a more spreadable mole, These were quite loose, but still tasty.

    Amazing food Amazing atmosphere Amazing service Celebrated my wife's birthday and the couches in the back made a very pleasant diner, the decoration of the entire building is Mexican traditional, is very warm and delightful. Will definitely come back. Although, I do have some suggestions: - Add more non vegan options. - More variety of drinks would be good.

    Amazing, limited menu with modern Mexican flavorings and healthy options. Lions Mane! Family feel yet super cool and artist den vibe. A must for those looking for something new, wonderful, and different in the El Paso are.

    Quiche and matcha mile

    Such a beautiful experience from good food and drinks, filtered water, vibe, and service. I could spend all day here. Absolutely amazing

    Handmade plates and place mats

    Lovely ambiance, service and food/drink! The menu changes on a weekly basis according to fresh local produce. The owners hand-made the dishes and table cloths, and they stained the chairs and tables themselves using natural pigments. Everything is made with love :) We loved the mole flight, curried squash and mushrooms, and blueberry-lemon-ricotta pie, as well as the drinks which are made with house made syrups and are very refreshing. They also serve coffee, beer, and wine!

    I've gone and they have closed early because they have run out of food so it seems inconsistent to me.

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience at West Elm in El Paso, and a huge part of what made our…read morevisit so enjoyable was the exceptional service from Jorge and Alissa! From the moment we were seated, they were warm, welcoming, attentive, and incredibly personable. They struck the perfect balance of being available whenever we needed something without ever making us feel rushed. They were knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great experience. Jorge and Alissa went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. Their positive attitudes, attention to detail, and friendly personalities really stood out. It's not often that you come across servers who make you feel like they truly enjoy what they do, but that was definitely the case with both of them. They made our meal feel less like simply going out to eat and more like a genuinely enjoyable experience. The food was wonderful, but outstanding service is what makes you want to come back and Jorge and Alissa absolutely delivered. They are both a tremendous asset to West Elm, and I hope their hard work and hospitality are recognized because they deserve it! We left with big smiles and a great impression of the restaurant; additionally, the busing personnel are always accommadating and willing to speak with us as well. We will definitely be coming back, and we would be thrilled to have Jorge and Alissa take care of us again. Thank you both for making our visit so memorable!

The restaurant offers a cozy contemporary feel with a minimalist modern touch. The white oak and high ceiling also contributes to a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Right from the start, I loved the presentation of the Pepino--refreshing, creative, and unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. The Aguachile Callo de Hacha was outstanding, easily one of the highlights of the evening. If you're visiting for the first time, I highly recommend ordering the following tacos - Campesino ($7) and the Pato al Pastor ($8); both are packed with original flavors and showcase the chef's creativity. Their Jamaica drink is also excellent and pairs beautifully with the food. Chef Emiliano Marentes has deservedly earned national recognition and James Beard acclaim, which naturally creates high expectations before you even walk through the door. So that is always creating an issue as many of us expect perfection. The restaurant was moderately busy, with some people waiting to be seated. The biggest disappointment, however, was the pace. We waited approximately 25 minutes for our food despite the restaurant not appearing especially full. Then came the most unexpected wait of the evening--the restroom. Standing in line for more than 15 minutes just to use the bathroom is something I've never experienced at a restaurant. That took away from what had started as a very enjoyable evening. Service was efficient without any fluff. Overall this is a solid 4.0/5.0.

    Okay, where to begin. I had been driving for about 12 and 1/2 hours straight and hadn't had…read moreanything since 9:00 a.m.. I was super hungry, and once I found my hotel I was pleased to find there was a restaurant right next door. So I thought I would go check it out When I walked in, this place definitely had a dive biker bar feel to it, but it was super packed for a Tuesday night. The lady behind the bar said sit wherever I'd like and she'd be right with me. It took her a little while to get to me as the place was pretty bumping so I can't fault her for that. She came up to the table and asked me what I'd like. I ordered the three sirloin tacos and an iced tea. She brought out the iced tea, and I had some chips and salsa while I waited. In fact, they tasted like they were bought a store, the real star was the salsa which was completely homemade and had a definite kick to it! I sat there for quite a while waiting for my tacos, after about 15 or 20 minutes she came by and said my tacos would be right out and got me a refill of my tea and some more chips. About another 10 minutes later the tacos finally arrived. They were served on one of those hot fajita plates.. well the style is correct, the plate itself was not hot. In fact, all of the food was lukewarm. Kind of disappointing when I was super starving, but I thought you know what. Let's at least give it a go. Aside from the food not being hot, the meat really did not have the flavor I was hoping for. I added the cilantro and Pico de gallo to the tacos. Hoping that would spice it up a little bit, but I was sorely mistaken. I ended up adding the green onion and some of the salsa from the chips and that at least gave it some kick. Even more disappointing was the rice and beans being lukewarm. My guess is they had my plate made at least 15 minutes ago and it just sat on the counter and no one picked it up. Sad, cuz I really wanted to like this place. At the end of the meal I sat there waiting for the check, and it didn't come. All of my chips and sat there with my wallet and credit card. Hoping to catch someone's attention. My server finally came over and apologized and took my card. A little while later she came back and said have a great evening. Was it all bad? No, it was not. I looked around at the other customers who seemed to be really enjoying the food so I'm just wondering if I caught a bad dish. Bottom line? I doubt that I'll ever come back here, but if I do I will be sure to report back to all of my friends in Yelpland and see if this place made it improvement.
