    Living space to hang out

    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!

    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 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!

    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.

    Posole

    Great service, food was delicious. Somewhat of a limited option. Beautiful decor and building, lots of local art, great location. Salad was fresh and had a sweeter dressing with some really nice figs. Posole had a nice flavor and spice, it is a vegetarian three sisters posole, in case you're expecting beef or chicken. Overall excellent restaurant and a must try. You can't beat the historic area, the excellent environment and great food.

    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

    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.

    I usually am in there on Tuesday evening Taco Tuesday thru are the best Tacos around! Not always…read morethere but am there when n town. The service there is exceptional friendly people. Drink glass is always full. Music is great and is a jukebox or whatever one calls them nowadays. Never a dull moment!

    When we entered, it was apparent that this was one of those small town Cafes where the locals…read morecongregate. There were Farmers, Law enforcement and Travelers from the surrounding hotels. The restaurant is not well identified but people apparently know its there. The restaurant is larger inside than it appears on the outside. Upon entering, there is a large bar on the left. The place was clean and our waitress was welcoming. The only thing that I didn't particularly care for was the Bassy music coming from the bar. I thought it was a little loud and disruptive in the restaurant. Otherwise, not a bad place. When I'm in town, I love the local Mexican food and most of these local cafes serve Mexican fare. So that's it then! We were promptly seated, served drinks and chips. I must say that I loved the green Chile salsa. Yum. For my main course, I ordered the Mexican plate. Yes, that's the one! It had a Taco, Enchiladas and a Chile Relleno. Every bite of it was delicious! There was nothing left but a Chile Relleno stub! Though this was my first visit to Mamacita's, I would not hesitate to eat here again. Good meal, thanks!
