    Food, Alcohol & Lunch Menu
    Brandy M.

    Staff was friendly. Food was good. Just wish they had more servers. I went during lunch time and they only had one server so service was decent. She was definitely nice but it would've been easier had she had more servers assisting her.

    Fish tacos
    Chan'tel M.

    Came here with my husband because I love some good Mexican food and had also been craving seafood...sooo mariscos it is! Eh, I'm not too loco about coco. They seem a little overpriced. The fish was definitely very fresh which is a plus. The presentation of the tacos looks cool, but isn't really functional and pretty messy to eat as they overlap. My tacos were heavy on the slaw which I wasn't crazy about. I think their drinks are probably the best thing on the menu, but I don't do alcohol. I think we were the only ones in the restaurant not drinking. The virgin michelada mango was bomb. So don't fret if you're not into alcohol either. They got ya covered with drinks. It comes in pineapple too. Another reviewer kind of dissed their chips and salsa and I was surprised by the review until I tasted them for myself. Unfortunately the salsa tasted like spicy water to me. Not sure how you mess that up. They do charge like 3.5% for credit card transactions which is a bummer. Sorry to say I didn't care for the food enough to wanna return.

    I went with my family to celebrate a birthday. The wait was very long but to be fair we were 20+ people in total. The staff maintained great communication and of course apologized for the wait. The food was very good overall.

    Well what can I say.... This place is completely over hyped. I had high expectations from the pictures that are being posted on social media. Don't get me wrong, the staff is extremely nice and helpful. The drinks were great. The food was just not it. We ordered the shrimp ceviche, which I will say was amazing! You can taste the freshness and it's definitely full of flavor. This was the only dish that gave me hopes that everything else we ordered was going to be just as delicious. Next came the Fried Shrimp with fries.. I opted to have them tossed in lemon pepper which I was so hyped about getting. They finally came out and the shrimp were dark as hell. I've learned that when stuff is fried it's suppose to be golden brown, that usually happens when the fryers and oil are clean and fresh. When the fryers are dirty and the oil has been reused multiple times/days, they fried food comes out looking very dark. To say that dish wasn't picture worthy is the least. Now that I think about it, maybe I should've so you could see what I mean. I took one bite and was immediately done. Next came the Shrimp Cocktail, my husband said it was okay, just okay. A bit more on the spicy side but it was eatable. My poor daughter ordered the kids pizza, which you could most definitely tell it was a little mini pizza from the local grocery store's frozen section. This place is cute if you're wanting to pregame before going out. You can probably do drinks and ceviche right before you start your night. Needless to say, we won't be back due to the food.

    Excellent food and service! Was driving through el paso and decided to try coco loko! Will definitely go back when going through area again! Wish we had this place where we

    Service was frustrating, our waiter Estephania was very inattentive... honestly felt like we were basically being ignored, we were the first set of ppl in the restaurant so it was empty so wr got served first still EXTREMELY slow... she was in direct view of us at all times, intentionally avoiding eye contact when were waiting for the check other customers came and received their check and everything before we did, so we had to get up & Walk to the counter... Food! Was pretty good , the presentation was nice... I enjoyed the aguachiles green (extra spicy) and the tacos were good but they spread the filling (meat) over multiple tacos so they are not full of the toppings ... that was a little disappointing but overall the food was good. Server was horrible

    I came here for lunch on a random Thursday. It was my first time and there wasn't any people. The girls here are very attentive and make sure your food is delicious and your beer is full. Lol .... The seafood tasted fresh and tasty. While I was enjoying my beer and food the place started to pick up and it was getting crowded. I wish I new about this place sooner because it is a delicious little seafood spot. Even the fries the pics they don't look good but I swear they are soooooo goood. All their cocktail drinks are sooo good too. I'm gonna be coming back with my family again. Enjoy the pics:)

    One of the favorite spots for mariscos out here in El Paso. Great drinks including cocos, micheladas, and clamatos, large servings on seafood dishes and excellent service. Discount if you pay cash.

    Really enjoyed this restaurant. The service was good, food great, and the drinks were amazing. I will definitely be back to try more off of their creative menu. Definitely recommend.

It's a little hard to find tucked back in a little strip center. The inside is interesting decor with different theme walls. What was nice is that the staff was very friendly. It was close to closing time so we ordered fast and got our chips and salsa quickly. Loved the homemade chips and that they were still warm. Salsa was ok. I liked my fajitas but I wasn't as blown away with the taste as my co-worker. I had a few pieces of meat that had grizzle when I bit into them. It wasn't as seasoned as I was hoping too. The beans and rice were ok but didn't appear scratch made.

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.

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.

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.
