    Casa de Torta in north El Paso: a big torta with milanesa and chorizo. Beef had no breading and was very tough. Hard to chew or bite

    A date and I were passing by this exit in north El Paso on our way back to Las Cruces and decided to hit up the Casa de Torta for lunch. Its location is well suited for the 45 minute drive to the City of the Crosses. The immediate area was quite busy but we managed to find a convenient parking spot off to the side of the building. The restaurant itself is not large with several tables and a few wood benches. The ambiance is best described as "spartan." It is an order at the counter place and they bring the food to your table. The restaurant was doing a brisk drive up window business. Most of the food served is either tortas or burritos . Prices are reasonable. Today I wanted to try their Pampas Torta with beef milanesa and chorizo even though I knew milanesa can be dry and tough to bite into. I ordered it as part of a combo meal with fries and a drink. My date ordered a beef and potato chile Colorado burrito minus the beans. The time from ordering to food on the table was around twelve to fourteen minutes. The food arrived at our table in a large paper bag; kind of a strange way to serve people dining in. Inside the bag was a burrito wrapped in paper, a large and heavy torta wrapped in foil, and a bunch of fries in a styrofoam container. Drinks are self serve at a counter. There were a couple napkins in the bag, but I had to go back up to the counter to ask for a plastic fork and extra napkins...which were needed. Overall, the service was pleasant and efficient enough but far from a professional level. The fries were light and crispy...not oily at all and fairly well seasoned. Rate these fries a "B." The beef burrito Colorado had a bit of potato and meat that was shredded. The meat was tender but the red sauce was not very tasty. This burrito didn't compare with the red chile meat burritos served around Las Cruces. I don't want to come across as a Las Cruces chauvinist but this red chile meat burrito wouldn't rank in the top twenty around Cruces. Rate it a "B-." Slightly above average. My torta was quite heavy. It had a large bun but the bun was not very flavorful and did not hold up that well. The chorizo had a nice flavor (but there was very little chorizo in the torta) as did the beef, but the milanesa itself had virtually no breading on it and it was so tough and grisly that you could literally not bite into it and it took eons to chew. This did not make for a pleasant dining experience. Rate the torta I had between a "C-" and a "D." It was not very good. Word of advice: if you dine here do NOT order the beef. I have to believe that chicken or other torta fillings will be better and worthy of a much higher grade. The restaurant did offer some little vials of red and green salsa to use on your meal. These were ok. At the end of the day, rate the overall dining experience at Casa de Torta around TWO AND THREE QUARTER STARS...meaning kind of mediocre. You do have to know what to order here as not everything is top drawer. Will I return? Can't be certain. I didn't enjoy my lunch very much.

    I have visited Casa de Torta several times, and I am always happy with the taste of their food and customer service. The parking lot at the mini-mall they are located at is quite busy, so please be careful when you visit them. I tried their drive-thru, but it takes a while to get your food. I have never dined in; I always take my food to go, and when I do, I ensure I am not in a rush because it does take them a while to serve. My favorite is their chile colorado burrito.

    The lamest excuse for Carne Asada Fries I've ever seen.

    Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) 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!

    I think solid is a perfect word for this place. Not the best Mexican food I've ever had, but not…read morethe worst. I bumped it up to four stars for the super friendly service and the excellent aguas frescas. We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here. What you get is a good amount of decent food at a good price served by great people.

I ordered that and got a ton of food. The serving was huge. Everything looked fresh. When I finished, man, was i full. Everything on that plate was excellent. Good flavor.
