    Juaritos Burger (double meat)
    Jeremy A.

    It all depends on your taste of burgers. I got the Juarez burger and it was decent. However, the add ons were a bit pricey. My burger and "Mexican coke" came out towards $20. Was it worth it, not at all. Their burgers are at least $8. Would I go here again, no.

    Cup of fries

    Within walking distance of the plaza holiday lights, the fam and me decided to stop by and check this lil hidden gem out. It was lil empty when we got but as soon we sat down groups came in...we brought the rush.. lol. I ordered the green chili burger. It looks like all burgers are double meat. My burger came with a cup of fries and I ordered a Mexican coke to drink it all down. About 10-15 minutes later the food came out and the burger was huge, big enough to have its own plate. Its was spicy, but not too spicy where I couldn't enjoy the taste. Food was good ambience was nice and the server was great. Check this place out if u in the DT area. Open late.

    We had a quick lunch here because I was craving a torta. The ambiance was simple, the prices are good (they often have specials), the food was good, and the service was nice. I would recommend the loaded fries and Mexican coke with your torta. Great place for a quick lunch.

    Flauta plate

    The food was amazing! We had the flautas, tacos, and cheese fries. The wait for food was a little long but so worth it.

    I placed a to-go order for 6 flautas, a torta De pastor, and fries. The restaurant was understaffed and I had to wait an extra 15 minutes despite ordering 20 minutes ahead of time. They informed me that they had run out of al pastor meat and added a beef frank to the burger instead. The flautas were not very flavorful and were too oily. The torta had good flavor, but I personally didn't like the beef frank they added. The fries aren't very good wouldn't waste money on them. The ambience inside was decent, but I wish the service had been faster.

    Pastor torts, 4 pastor taco plate, and fries

    Found this gem around the corner from our hotel. The place feels a little understaffed but the workers handled the rush with ease. The pastor meat has a spice to it so definitely worth to note. The bread on the torta was fresh and crisp. Everything felt and tasted very fresh. They do need a big menu above the register when walking in. Would make it more welcoming to first timers. There's a menu on the counter at the register.

    Patty melt with loaded fries delicious with a little spice

    First and foremost, I have to appreciate the cook and thefront of the house Joselin they did a marvelous job food presentation was phenomenal and the food was cooked just right as for joselin she has great FOH skills. I do recommend this spot.

    The food was amazing! Al Pastor Burger was my first, but sooo good. Back home the pastor is greasy, this was so perfect!

    Trendy little spot with solid options for lunch. Nothing comes small here; beware. Also, there are no diet sodas whatsoever and no iced tea. So it's beer, water, or sugar sodas. Obviously, I opted for the beer.

    heard about this place on IG and we came HUNGRY. long story short -- food 3/5, ambiance 4.5/5, service 5/5 we ordered 3 different burgers HAHA cuz were starving. each burger comes with fries and has the option to add other ingredients on it. we got the guacamole burger, al pastor burger, and the juarito burger. i would say my favorite was definitely the guacamole burger. i didn't like how the other burgers included just a slice of ham in there xD i like my burgers more simple (juicy beef patty with good sauces) HAHA. there's nothing too special about the buns or the sauces but it definitely hit the spot. each burger also comes with 2 patties so they are pretty big. the loaded fries are also not bad. crunchy crispy fries are my thing, but the fries here are a little soggy and unseasoned.... i loved the ambiance of the restaurant though! it's lively and not too busy which i liked. would come back and try their flautas next time!

    Delicious Flautas Order of 4

    Toss is a great quick stop for a fast bite. The food is good and proportions are plentiful. I think this is a great location if you find yourself wandering around downtown. The service is friendly and attentive. They have a menu that is sure to meet any hunger. I would definitely recommend.

    Continues to be my favorite spot. Too bad you lost the board for "Ribeye on board". However, the…read moreexplanation given makes sense. Keep going guys. You are my go to when visiting El Paso. Your location specific.

    I visited this restaurant around 8:00 p.m. on a Monday evening while in town for a business trip…read more It was conveniently located near my hotel, and my first impression was very positive. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, was busy with guests, and I was seated within just a few minutes of arriving. Unfortunately, the experience began to decline after I was seated. I waited approximately 10-15 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. While waiting, I looked through the menu and was surprised to find it noticeably dirty, which wasn't the impression I expected from a restaurant of this caliber. When my server finally arrived, she was polite but didn't seem particularly welcoming or engaging. She appeared stressed, which made the service feel rushed rather than hospitable. I ordered a Diet Dr Pepper and my meal at the same time since I had already decided what I wanted. It then took another 10 or more minutes for my drink to arrive. Shortly afterward, someone delivered bread with honey butter, which was excellent. However, no bread plate, napkin, or silverware accompanied it, so I had to flag down another employee before I could enjoy it. After waiting another 20-plus minutes, my steak and fries finally arrived. I had ordered the steak medium rare, but it was burned on one side, barely seared on the other, and when I cut into it, it was blue rare--nearly raw. I asked my server to send it back, and she promptly took it to the kitchen. About 15 minutes later, a replacement steak arrived. Unfortunately, while the opposite side was now burned, the inside was cooked to medium well. I let my server know this was still unacceptable, and she asked if I would like another steak prepared. I agreed, requesting simply that it be cooked medium rare without being burned. To the restaurant's credit, the third steak was prioritized and delivered by who I believe was the manager. She asked me to cut into it to confirm it was cooked correctly. Although the replacement was noticeably smaller and thinner than the original, it was cooked to a proper medium rare, so I accepted it. By that point, however, my fries were completely cold. The manager apologized briefly but never returned to check on the meal or my overall experience. My server didn't return until I was nearly finished eating, at which point she asked if everything was okay. I simply requested the check. What should have been about a 30-minute dinner stretched to well over an hour, and after a long day of business travel, I was ready to return to my hotel. I wasn't expecting my meal to be completely comped, but after multiple mistakes and significant delays, a small gesture of goodwill--such as discounting the entrée or even comping the soda--would have gone a long way. Overall, this restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, and I believe the food has the potential to be very good when prepared correctly. However, the service, management's follow-up, and overall attention to the guest experience fell well below what I would expect from a restaurant of this quality. I hope they can improve these areas because the restaurant certainly has the potential to provide an excellent dining experience.
