    Chilaquiles Box
    JakeBryan B.

    The atmosphere feels very secluded, although, it was probably due to a visit during the holidays and everyone was out of town. Pretty basic eatery location and not much of a selection for alternative food options. For the price of the food, I think you're mainly paying for the aesthetic. Overall, a fair experience.

    Wow!! I am so pleased with my choice to visit Chilabox. A quick walk from my hotel in El Paso, Chilabox is a great concept where Mexican Chilaquiles come in a box customized to your liking for an exciting, delicious and fun experience. The space is adorable! Great outdoor seating area with swings (!!) and plenty of tables and benches for customers. I visited for breakfast and was greeted by the friendly and helpful staff who explained the concept to me. You choose from several sauce options and then choose your toppings. I chose rojo and verde sauce, light onions, sour cream, chicken, cheese and black sesame seeds. Everything comes carefully layered in a "to go" box similar to what you'd get at a Chinese restaurant. You can eat straight from the box, or open it up on the specially designed sides onto a plate so you can get the full experience. My Chilabox was delicious! It was done in about 5 minutes. The slightly spicy red sauce and tangy green sauce were so flavorful, the tortilla chips were a great mix of crispy and saturated in the sauce. I couldn't stop eating! I'm glad I went with light onions because they were strong. I wish there was an option to add a fried egg on top, but otherwise it was perfect!

    Been wanting to try this spot for a while and I'm glad I finally did! Cool downtown location available for pickup, along with a very small dining space indoors and quaint little patio available too. The chipotle Chilabox was money! I opted to add chicken & pass on the cilantro. Every bite was delicious! Paired perfectly with the Mexican Coke in the old school glass bottle. Pickup with great (quick & convenient)! Service was great! Food was great (looking forward to trying the other 4 salutes they offer)! Downtown El Paso, let's support this spot and help make it successful!

    It's a quaint little spot tucked inside The Mix Shops on San Antonio St. next to the Union Plaza in downtown El Paso. Good: They serve up chilaquiles inside a takeout box, but don't be fooled by the size, one box is enough to fill you up. They offer 3 different sauces, verde (green), rojo (red) or chipotle. My wife and I ordered the green and chipotle. Both were very good as each box was filled to the top with tostada chips, chicken*, cheese, onions, sour cream, cilantro, and black sesame seeds. Priced around $9.00 a box. You can add avocado for an additional charge. Service was friendly and attentive. Bad: If you don't want to walk around with onion mouth all day, order it without. Also, not sure if they put chicken in our boxes. *Our boxes didn't look like they had chicken in them. When I asked, the gentleman, he said they come with finely shredded chicken but I couldn't tell if that was true or not. My only suggestions for this place would be to make the chicken more distinguishable, because I couldn't tell. Also, if you can add a fried egg on top, that would put this place up a notch.

    All the fixings!!!

    Never had this before December 13, 2023 but very impressed! Despite not having chicken for protein (because a larger number of Soldiers decided try this place out during Iron Summit 2023), the team recovered well and went above and beyond in providing an awesome dining experience!

    I would love to give this five stars because the chilaquiles are pretty amazing. I order the habanero with everything on it and they were spot on... the amount that fits inside the little box is very filling. The location is nice with the swings and small patio tables outside. Here's the downfall to my experience, we placed our order inside and were told it would be ready in 12 min, went inside to get the order after about 15 min and were told another 5 min, wrong it took about 40 min for my order to come out. Some people may not have 40 minutes to wait so why not be upfront and let customers know what the wait time is.

    My mom found this place through fb and we were craving chilaquiles so we came to check it out. Chilaquiles are crunchy and full of salsa, our toppings included cheese, sour cream, avocado, sesame seeds and chicken! They come in boxes that open up on the side, super convenient as you continue eating. It's a nice little place and the chilaquiles were super yummy so we're bound to come back in the future (:

    Chipotle flavor! Also had the gualda verde! Both are bomb!

    I've been a loyal customer of this establishment since 2008. While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

The food arrived within about 10 minutes for our group of six, which was impressive. The complimentary fried tortillas were very good, and the salsa was enjoyable as well. I ordered al pastor tacos. The flavor was good, but the meat was very dry. I liked the portion size, especially the amount of meat, but it would have been excellent if it were not so dry.

About 8 large chile toreados, grilled onions.and plenty of corn tortillas. The charro beans were mostly bean soup. I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.

Looking back, El Cometa is what started my taco obsession. Their tacos al pastor con queso are so good. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned, a little greasy in the best way, and topped with melted cheese. One thing I love is their salsa bar. I always grab the red salsa, green salsa, and guacamole. I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible. Last summer, the hostess recognized me right away and seated me immediately. She even remembered my order. I order the exact same thing every visit: tacos and two cans of Sprite. The fact that she has been there since I first started coming in 2019 makes every visit feel like coming home. From 2019 until I moved away in 2022, I went there almost every week. To eat here, everyone lines up at the cashier to place an order, but somehow I always felt like royalty. The staff knew me, and every visit felt welcoming. El Cometa never disappoints. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and every visit reminds me why I fell in love with tacos in the first place.
