Very chill, definitely gives you hole in the wall vibes. Fish and shrimp was good. Didn't like their hot sauce available. Service was good and no issues. Price wasn't bad at all. read more

The service was really nice and really friendly. The ambiance is typical hole in the wall. The food was delicious. They fill your box up so you're getting full with the portions they give you. Their sweet tea was perfect. If you're looking for good homestyle wings, this is the place! The catfish was fried to perfection. You could get for your side, half fried okra/fries. I thought that was so nice! Their aim is to make your order perfect. They show you your food to make sure it's ok befor e you leave. Believe me when I say you can't close your container. I don't know if they make ther own hotsauce but make sure to try it or take some to go. Definitely recommend! They also have pork chops which I want to try next. read more

When I visit relatives in El Paso, we pick up a family meal from this place. Their catfish filets are great- crispy outside, moist inside. We get slaw (with pineapple), potato salad, sweet potato fries, hush puppies, and Texas toast. I don't recommend the Texas toast, which is just dry toast, but all the other sides are very good. My favourite is the hush puppies. Food is made to order, so we call ahead, and it's ready in 15 minutes for pickup. Service is friendly. read more

This is a small place but has seating on the inside. It's hidden inside a plaza. The staff were nice and everything was cooked to order. I have seen many people rave about catfish basket and finally tried them. We ordered the catfish filets and chicken wings. I loved the idea of being able to try both in a combo option. Prices are reasonable and the food was fresh, so expect to wait. I never mind waiting, if my food will be fresh. I was disappointed that we got toast instead of hush puppies but overall we enjoyed the food. I would definitely go back read more

Catfish Basket - Portions are enough for two people -2 PC Fish / 5 Wings - Seafood Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Great food and lots of it. The catfish is clean and well seasoned. Try the fried okra if that is your thing. It is worth it. The owner is a friendly guy and the front counter staff are always friendly and willing to help with suggestions. It can be a little hard to see from Hondo Pass, so keep an eye out for the blue sign above the door. read more

The food was really fresh and cooked to perfection. Service was great and within 7-8 minutes, my food was in front of me getting devoured...

Good portions of catfish fillets and nuggets. Decent portions of fried okra too. It took over 40 minutes to cook but considering a busy Friday night and you don't want your food rushed so no complaints. read more

Great food, great service, delicious! I miss their gyros, but the catfish nuggets are delicious. Very tasty, very quick service

Had been curious about this place for a few years. Started working on the northeast and decided to give it a try. I will say, I was highly satisfied. We were properly greeted upon entering and the girl working the counter was friendly. Service and food were excellent. Although it's an older building and location, it was surprisingly clean inside. Catfish nuggets and chicken gizzards were cooked how we like them. Good job! read more

The food was delicious. I got the one-piece catfish with 6 shrimp. I substituted the fries for fried okra. I was very happy that I did. I love fried okra, which has been a challenge to find in local restaurants. The portions were generous and made fresh to order. My husband ordered the 2 piece catfish with 6 shrimp and substituted the fried for potato salad. He was very satisfied with his meal. The service was great and friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

Catfish Basket - 1 piece catfish with 6 shrimp & fried okra. - Seafood Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Food is always so good ... Fresh! Always get the one pound nuggets ... Always delicious and hot. Very friendly service ... Always busy so there is a little bit of a wait but its well worth it! read more

The portions are good. However, the food has no flavor. I was expecting it to be good but, it was a disappointment.

First time trying this spot and not my last! Went on a lunch date with my BFF and let's just say everything sounded so good. Excellent friendly customer service very patient. we decided to get a sampler plate, hush puppies, and fried gizzards. The sampler was plenty for both of us. A catfish fillet, catfish nuggets and half a bone in catfish, with okra and hush puppies all 3 catfish options tasted differently but we weren't complaining. Catfish was cooked perfectly, the okra was hot and crispy, the hush puppies were small but packed with flavor. The fried gizzards were good but a little too tough and chewy. We got sweet tea and a bottled water that tea is sweeeet!! We left stuffed but happy with leftover okra and gizzards. Great spot and quick service. read more

The food prices was are definitely higher then in the other reviews, doubled. But since i made the drive I thought I would give it a try. The service was top notch. Couldn't ask for better service. I got the shrimp and fish. The tarter sauce was good. I think it was homemade. Tasted like mayo with pickles added. The fish and shrimp itself was good., read more

This place was difficult to locate but well worth it! SIMPLY WONDERFUL Catfish and Shrimp and southern fried okra! Fresh and hot. I highly recommend this food. The best fried catfish we have found in El Paso. Try it! read more

This place is hidden in a strip mall. Parking is abundant but so are potholes. 1 star for cleanliness of dining area. We were there at 11AM so it smelled like cleaning chemicals. When the food arrived, the smell magically disappeared. 1 star for price. It was around 15 bucks for four catfish fillets, fries, and toast. It also came with a drink. You can get a can of soda, a bottle of water, or their homemade sweet tea. The sweet tea came with free refills! 1 star for generous portions! Pictures don't do it justice but the fillets were almost as big as my hand. Come prepared with an appetite because you'll leave with a heavy stomach. It's hearty and filling! 1 star for the quality of the food. Everything was delicious including the sweet tea (although it's really hard to mess up sweet tea). The catfish was perfect and came out piping hot. The breading was on point. The fries weren't over cooked. 1 star for the using parchment paper between the food and the styrofoam. I'm not a big fan of styrofoam containers and watching fried food burn it's way into the styrofoam. 5/5 in my book! read more

It was great and lots of food I got the catfish nuggets and fries and everything was hot and fresh. I'll definitely recommend this place for sure, the only downfall if there was one , is it took about 20 minutes but they were busy but again the food was fresh! read more

100% recommend this hidden little spot!! I read some good reviews about this place and decided to make a 28min drive here from the east side. Best decision!!! Since I can only eat fish during lent on Friday's I was willing to make the drive to try this place out. I got there and placed my order to go. The male employee taking my order was very helpful and friendly while taking my order. They have so many items to choose from but again since it's lent season I had to stick with the catfish. I had ordered 2 catfish specials to go and 4 catfish fillets separately. While I was waiting I saw a customers order of fried okra and hush puppies and was convinced order some to go as well. Once my order was ready the male employee taking the orders was polite to show me my order before bagging up. I truly appreciated that gesture. I will say overall the place isn't appealing to the eye but let me say.... The food and service MAKES UP FOR IT ALL!!! The best part is that the food is not even greasy AT ALL!! Be sure to come with an appetite because those catfish pieces are most definitely not small. Everything I ordered was delicious even my mom approved of it. I think I'll be skipping long john silver now and coming here more often. Enjoy the pics :) read more

A handful of my friends told me this would be the best catfish joint in El Paso. I had to try it myself to see if it was true. It's located along an assuming shopping strip (actually it looks deserted, but it has a funeral home in the middle of the strip), and I almost missed it because I really didn't notice any signs initially. Just looking from the outside, it gives you an impression that it's going to be one of those dives (photo), and I hoped at least the food will be decent. Interior matched (again, photo) an unimpressive exterior, and I became somewhat skeptical about what they offered. I just ordered two pieces of catfish fillet because that's what I was after. Instead of french fries, I got some fried okra, and I was not disappointed. Instead of normal Texas toast, I got some hush puppies. All that for under $10. They gave me a bottled water for free. Wait was about 15 mins after I placed my order. I'd recommend to call ahead your order if you don't want to wait too long. There were handful of tables, and some folks were waiting for their to-go orders. Catfish was very good--fresh tasting, not too salty and not greasy, but it had enough flavor in the coating. Hush puppies were rather small but tasty. There were plenty of fried okra. I probably should've eaten half of it since the serving was generous. A friendly owner-chef came out to check on everyone to see if we were enjoying our food. I thought that was a nice touch. It must've not been too busy for him to be able to do that. We talked for a while, and I found out he has had his joint open for 12 years. That's a very good sign for this small eatery in an obscure location to survive all those years. The next time I come here I need to try their wings. Several folks were eating them, and they looked very good. read more

In love with this place so much! I visit this place every time I go to EP. I recommend everyone go here.

Fried catfish isn't bad. I've also had the wings and the fried okra. Bottled water here is free. I was a little disappointed with the whole catfish, I was expecting the head tail and everything. Oh well. read more

Hidden gem. Great food and customer service. Will definitely be a repeat customer . Had the catfish filets and wings.

The food was very tasty I especially loved their okra so fresh. The service good they were very positive and polite. The ambiance is a little on the rough side needs a little makeover but other than that you can't be the fresh food and great employees. read more

Visited today, and the food blew us away. The catfish was seasoned and cooked perfectly. It was crispy but not greasy. The shrimp was crunchy and delicious. The fried okra was also crispy and not soggy. We even loved the homage tartar sauce. The owner was very friendly and checked on us often. Our order included sides and drinks. This is one of the best values and best kept secrets in El Paso. This has been one of our go to's over the years and we can't wait to come back. read more

I dont give out five stars, cause there is always room for improvement but this food is delicious. Staff was friendly and when they brought out the food and I drove home, it smell so delicious I couldn't wait. Orka is fried, not heavily breaded and the cat fish, wow you really get the tish flavor and their seasonings, not just bread or sogging bread. Cant wait to bring my friends here! They are only doing curbside, so I can't say how the I side is but I can't say enough, the food is delicious!!! read more

First time here and I don't think I might return. We ordered the catfish fillet combo. It comes with fries and texas toast. The fillets came corn meal coated and I didn't care for it or the seasoning. It was too salty. I also ordered the small fried okra and that was good enough for 2 or 3 people. This place was nothing special. Common fare. read more

Have eaten here twice. First time catfish and gizzards were delicious and tender. Second time the catfish was rubbery and gizzards were tough. Will have to think about going back. I bought a pound of each both times but second time portions were noticeable smaller. read more

Been here twice now and they take forever for the food to arrive, which means they fry it up fresh, but if you need a quick lunch they do call ahead ordering which I highly recommend. Food is tasty and portion size is HUGE. I've only had the nuggets and hush puppies. Even for me a regular portion of nuggets is too much and I would recommend getting the kids portion unless you want lots of leftovers. read more

Ok, so my mouth was watering based on the yelp reviews. The fish and sweet tea we're awesome! Seriously, the fish was light and flacky. The batter was perfectly seasoned. The sweet tea reminded me of North Carolina. I will definitely have this again. The chicken gizzards looked good too. We didn't get them though. Just peeped them. Unfortunately, I got the combo with shrimp. I could not tell it was shrimp by the taste. It was a lot of crispy batter. The chicken wings we're bland. I asked for cocktail sauce which tasted like there was no, zero, zilch horseradish in it. The fries were decent. We didn't eat the bread. The staff was really nice and the manager came out to check on everyone. We appreciated that. We'll go back, but we'll stick to fish, catfish and gizzards. And of course, sweet tea! read more
