Have you heard of Cheeseburger Tuesday? Yeah me either, but I found it at Chelito's. This burger looks very basic, but it packs a whole lotta taste. This spot is a little tight and they do cook up your burger fast ***Flight Attendant approved***

Quesadillas and jalapeño poppers
Luke B.

$6 burgers on Tuesdays? Say less! The avocado burger was delicious; it also comes with fries. I also grabbed a side of cheese quesadillas and jalapeño poppers, which weren't too hot at all. Definitely a must-try spot in the area for burgers. They also warned us that service was going to be slow for staffing, so it took 30 minutes to get our good, but I appreciated the heads up.

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.

The food at Chelito's was exceptional! Every dish we ate had a great taste to it that was made perfectly and the presentation was awesome! Paulina our server, provided excellent customer service was polite l and attentive. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. We will definitely come back again!

Cup of fries
Eddie G.

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
Piper S.

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

Flautas Order of 6
Bhanu C.

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
Ramon Z.

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.

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

Enjoying a quart bottle of Victoria at lunchtime. I didn't get through at all!
Bill P.

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.

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.

We've always wanted to try this place, and after I dropped Noah off at practice, I took the plunge…read more We always look to arrive at after 10pm, there's no way you're not waiting in line at that time. I arrived just after 8:30 am, but there was plenty of room. I got seated at the bar, and got to see everything. I asked for coffee, and it came quick and hot. Then i took a look at the menu, but the nice thing about the bar is that you can see everything that was ordered get prepped. I ordered a pozole rojo. It was a good choice, according to me... it was a lot of food. It came with a slice of toasted and buttered bolillo bread. It was loaded with more pork, than hominy - a lot. The server came by to ask if I needed a box. The Junction is a diner, with a railroad ambiance. Plenty of train station themes, I think there were a lot of clocks on the wall - but I don't think that they were working... or that they were on time. I noticed a couple of plates that I would want to try... the chicken fried steak, the biscuits and gravy with fried eggs on top, peach cobber side, the fresh biscuit with chipotle butter. It all looked good. The breakfast tacos seemed basic, but a lot of folks ordered them - they must know. There is seating inside, table and bar, and outside under the shade. I saw enough that I would return with Liz (...and the kids). I recommend, but I do recommend getting there early. It's a popular locale.

The food doesn't look super fancy, but everything was packed with flavor. The French toast was amazing, the iced coffee was great, and the mimosa was on point. Our waiter was awesome too. We spent around $50 for two people and ordered quite a bit, so I thought that was pretty reasonable. Definitely recommend, just make a reservation because it gets packed!

We visited for breakfast while in El Paso. Party of two on a Saturday morning. Arrived around…read more9:30am & were seated immediately. Initially we sat inside but decided to sit outside since the weather was so nice. It was kind of dark & tight inside. The place is small. Outside seats around 20 people. The 2 of us sat at a table for 4. We choose our own table. We ordered the chorizo burrito with a side of fruit, churro waffle, strawberry lemonade, hash stack scramble with a side of bacon. The churro waffle was EVERYTHING!!! DELICIOUS. A definite must have for breakfast or dessert. It was a cinnamon & sugar topped crunchy on the outside smooth and soft on the inside. The best part of the meal. Burrito is served with a red salsa & a side. It was filled with chunks of potatoes & eggs. I didn't taste much chorizo in the burrito. I felt like the green Tabasco sauce would have been good with it to season it some. My fruit was fresh. The egg scrambled came with Shredded potatoes mixed in the egg @ spinach, mushrooms & onions under the egg & potato omelette. It was good. We got a side of bacon which was also good. Coffee & strawberry lemonade to drink. The service was quick and the food came hot & quick. We walked but there was some parking out front.

Disappointing meal. Got chicken lettuce wraps and sent back…read morethe lettuce as it was brown and didn't look washed. Cilantro brown too. What I got back was also brown and unwashed. Agua Fresca is just 2 cucumber slices and a sprig of mint. Not worth 3.5. The spicy chicken was well done and flavorful but the rest totally underwhelming. Kitchen needs some education. Staff pointed to wrong WiFi network at first as well.

Well he went ahead and invited the rest of the family which I was left with no choice but go! We ate from their lunch menu. We got some appetizers to share and most of us ordered the tacos. I opted for the 2 tacos and a soup. Ok... they need to do something about this soup because I was about the start chewing the container! I believe the soup was my favorite! It is so good and disappointing all at the same time! Please add an extra scoop! This is like teasing! Ok rant over lol I want to go back to just order a full blown bowl of this soup

The concept is brilliant, Mexican and American flavors elevated. The boutique hotel is beautiful, a reminder to future diners to look up as they have flowy lights that go up and down (mesmerizing). I really looked forward to this place and wanted to like it but the service just dimmed the meal. We went for a graduation celebration and did not feel that. I do acknowledge that we show up quite late since the graduation ended late. We placed our orders right before the kitchen closed. Throughout the meal, we were not offered extra bread, a dessert menu, or even a mere "Congratulations" from our server. A kind gentleman who seemed like the chef did come to check on the food and congratulate us. He seemed to actually care about the guests. I would love to come back to see if the service improves because the cooking deserves 5 stars here.

I also loved the vibes and the decor. My only complaint is that it was pretty crowded inside, which made it a little difficult to bring my baby in his infant car seat. Just a little FYI for the moms who are thinking about bringing their little ones! Other than that, I really enjoyed it and would definitely come back.

For starters I would say this spot was simply okay. I would bring some friends here for drinks and…read morevibes but I wouldn't come back on my own accord. For starters the atmosphere was so cute. Absolutely loved the bar and hanging pots everywhere. Such a clean restaurant and cute vibe. Our waitress was very nice and friendly to us. So no issues there! For drinks I got their berry lemonade which tasted just like lemon juice. I had to request for sugar to be added since it was so sour so beware. My food had came out and to be honest I'm just a little bit disappointed. The rigatoni was cooked but the sauce for it was really not tasty? Like there was almost not a flavor I can taste. Of course there was something but it was very plain and barely even there. It also was not spicy whatsoever. I added grilled chicken too and oh boy was that dry dry DRY. The burrata personally I'm not a fan in general so of course I wouldn't be a fan this time either but they gave a nice little plate full of it. They added some oiled toasted bread and it was way too crispy in my opinion. My partner got the chicken Parmesan and his dish tasted great! Very juicy chicken and cooked all the way. The sauce was perfect too nice and flavorful and great pairing with the chicken. His butter noodles were just like regular butter noodles so not bad. Finally the crème brûlée. Probably the most disappointing dish we ordered. It took repeated stabs to break the sugar glaze on top. Me and my partner were honestly thinking that they added the cream on top to hide how burnt it was actually. Unfortunately because the glaze was so thick and burnt it made the rest of the cream taste have the burnt flavor. It was sad because my partner was looking forward to this desert. Also took wayyy longer to arrive than our entrées. I will say that the waitress was very helpful and she actually covered the crème Brulé. I didn't even ask she just offered, I think she could tell that we didn't enjoy it and I had nicely told her it wasn't what we were expecting so thank you sincerely. Overall I think this is a perfect spot to maybe try drinks and hang with friends. Food was okay, wouldn't try it again in that regard but overall a decent spot here in El Paso if you're looking for something new. Maybe best to ask what's their best dish to serve. Overall thank you.
