    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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.

The huevos rancheros were absolutely incredible -- hands down some of the best flavor I've ever had. The steak with huevos, rice, and beans was extremely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Everything tasted authentic, homemade, and full of real Mexican flavor. You can tell they care about quality and tradition. If you're looking for true, authentic Mexican food made fresh with amazing flavor, this is the place. Highly recommend -- I will definitely be coming back!

Walk up, door is wide open, only outdoor table with shade is occupied by one guy on his phone. Walk in, say hello and the cook comes out. He turns on the air, but it's not AC. Fortunately, it's not that hot. We order two taco plates which come with four street tacos, beans and rice. The menu board has no prices. We each grab a softdrink from the cooler. Food comes out and dig in the chicken and steak tacos both have good flavor, beans and rice are okay. We finish and ask for the total and he tells me $28 which for what we got seemed high. It was four street tacos so it's basically two regular tacos. I double check and he confirms it's $28. I feel like we got hit with a gringo tax. YMMV.

    I hadn't been back to Elemi since they moved from their downtown location under Hotel Indigo to…read moreHorizon City, but while visiting my Tia Emma on the East Side, it was the perfect place to share a great meal with my mom, sister, and prima. We loved the aguas frescas, tamalada de mole, and tacos--carnitas, pato al pastor, and chicharrón de pescado (two tacos per order). Everything was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. Please note, the tacos come two for $14. Our best bite was the tamalada de mole (pictured). Service was excellent--attentive, patient, and knowledgeable with great recommendations. The space is a larger, upscale, minimalist modern Mexican setting compared to the original downtown spot. We were too full for dessert, but based on past visits, I highly recommend the esquites and brussels sprouts. We'll definitely be back to try more botanas and explore the menu further on our next visit to El Paso--we were just too full for dessert this time.

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.
