Nutella Hot Chocolate
Emmanuel O.

The food was great. All the drinks are amazing not too sweet. The waitress we had was really friendly and on top of everything. We also came when it wasn't too packed so the ambiance was nice with the music in the background and they also have outside seating so I can't imagine it being to bad even when it is packed.

Ancient Grains Bowl (mixed with a chicken breast)
Eduardo C.

I had been to their location near UTEP years ago and happened upon their other location during a recent business trip to El Paso. The restaurant is clean, spacious and has a great vibe for lunch or dinner. Full bar and craft beers add to the nice touch too. The menu is how I remember. Eclectic and able to satisfy a variety of tastes. I had their Ancient Grains bowl with chicken. Just like I remember, it was hearty, earthy, and overall very satisfying. Very glad I added the chicken, but did think it was slightly overpriced ($6.50 for one chicken breast.) Nevertheless, it is a great spot and great option when trying to find something outside the steak and potatoes and Mexican food options in El Paso.

Bloody Mary
Rian S.

Been craving a Bloody Mary for weeks & when on vacation there isn't a better time! I checked yelp for breakfast / brunch spots & saw this place had a full bar and was like that's where we're going! The Bloody Mary did not disappoint, hit the spot with just the right amount of kick. Me & hubby both got the No Brainer breakfast sandwich and were surprised when I came out not exactly a sandwich more like toast with toppings. BUT don't let that deter you, it was decadent in flavor and absolutely satisfying. The fruit was ok we think they might not be in season with them being as hard as they were but what can you do! The space was clean and well kept as well as a good ambiance, and the staff were very attentive. Next time we're in the area would definitely visit again!

Short stack.

I was seated right away; that apart of the good. It took almost 15 minutes to be greeted; that's apart of the bad. They didn't appear to be very busy. When I was greeted, it was "What are you having to drink?" Not very welcoming. The food was good and presented well.

I'd give this place a 5/5 strictly for the food, but service time could be better. Servers taking too long to take orders or to drop off the check (which correlates with them not checking on us after dropping off the food) has been a common occurrence the past 3 times I've eaten here. Other than that, the food is amazing. The chilaquiles are worth the wait, especially if you add carnitas to it. The pancakes were stale and left me disappointed, so I don't recommend those.

Strawberry Basil Lemonade and Iced Tea
Gilbert G.

Service is good, servers are very attentive. The ambiance is pretty relaxed on a slow night, which is when it's quiet. On busy nights they still meet the mark, although it gets much noise. The food is ridiculously good; El Paso is blessed to have this variety added to their culinary repertoire. They have some really interesting drinks and alcoholic drinks as well. Keep in mind that service can crawl very slowly on busy nights. Normally that would bring it down by 1 star, but I think the food quality and other offerings make up the difference. Recommendations: Shoestring French Fries Chicken & Waffles Green Chile Mac n Cheese Strawberry Basil Lemonade Cucumber Water Burgers (any) Chilaquiles Sweet Potato Waffle Fries

No Brainer (Breakfast Sandwiches )
Aleksandra B.

Our of all locations I think I like this the most and it somehow has the most selection on the menu. Generally all Craves are a bit overpriced and menu could use a bit of a fresher taste but for what El Paso has to offer it is one of the "spots" and too will get a good quality meal out of the experience.

The food is very well seasoned and served quickly. The place is big with black decor and a nice outside area with umbrellas for shade.

We arrived with a baby and the hostess immediately told us no high chairs. Ok no biggie yet my…read morewife pointed out that they do have changing stations for babies in the restroom which is odd. Expectations and reality were nothing alike. As we were seated our waiter took 10 min to great us and then another 12 min to bring our drinks. I didn't think anything of it yet it was a precursor to the rest of our dinner. After he took our order our kids food came out in a very timely fashion but our two orders of salmon and one steak sandwich took 40 min to arrive at the table. What a ridiculous waste of my time because my sandwich was missing the fries ordered and our waiter thought nothing of it till I brought it up then he took another 10 min to bring my fries. All this while simultaneously forgetting the sauce for the salmon which also took another 10 min to bring out. The salmon was so dry it was tacky and stuck to your teeth. If you know the feeling you know it's bad. The rice that came underneath the salmon was crunchy and way undercooked. All while the waiter was like oh I can bring you free deserts for your wait all while I could only think about how I just wanted to leave. I was internally livid and exhausted but kept it to my self after seeing the owner or manager who we the guy with the white hair over at the bar enjoying a few alcoholic beverages meanwhile his restaurants service and waitstaff to the worst possible job they can. I saw the people who got the most attention and good service were all regulars sitting at the bar laughing it up with the manager/owner older guy. Why not make sure your restaurant is running smoothly and food is being delivered and prepared properly and stop trying to impress the regulars who most likely will show up either way. Any restaurant that is this unorganized and unmotivated is due to crappy management. All this and the waiter is like I'll comp you for the steak sandwich with a discount for the bad service and salmon which was a whopping $5. I don't want a discount I don't want free day old desserts I want good service and decent food. Discounts and free desserts will never fix the problem because it will always be a crutch for trashy customer service. How about stop drinking with the guests and whoop that staff into semi decent shape buy some high chairs and make sure your expo does a once over quality check on the food and time it takes to get to the table EVEN if that means stepping in and doing it yourself. The restaurant is dark the tables are sticky the whole place is very compact . Perfect and quite attractive after 5-6 wines for sure. I'm sure the food is outstanding after a few drinks as well . They gave us a $25 dollar gift card to return which if I could I'd give to the owner so he could experience the same horrible food and service we did. I wouldn't even give the gift card to someone I hated. This was one of the first times in a long time I didn't just let it slide because I understand all restaurants and people have bad days but this was exceptionally bad. If you are thinking it can't be that bad think again it absolutely can. The whole "I'm sorry we usually have awesome service and everyone loves our food it's probably just me and my family " is laughable . This isn't my first time here while visiting El Paso. The food is getting worse.

I feel a certain kind of way about this place…read more Pros Food was mostly good Service was almost spot on Steaks were great sized Lobster Mac and cheese was amazing Lobster bisque was fantastic Healthy pour on cocktails Cons Food took forever to come out each time Server while awesome also disappeared for large periods of time Steaks had little to no seasoning Music was way too loud Diaper changing stations in the bathrooms but no high chairs? Makes little sense Admin fee that's not disclosed and no explanation for what it's for This place is probably designed for a certain demographic and that's fine but don't advertise yourself as anything other than.

Waited awhile for the waitress once seated. I ordered their version of French Dip - Tri Tip dip. Waited for about 30 minutes for the food. Waitress brought it out without the Au Jus. Stated she would go back to kitchen to get it. Came right back out, stating they were all out. If the point if a DIP sandwich is the AuJus, you should announce you are out AT THE TIME THE ITEM IS ORDERED!! It took so long to get the mean, I did not feel like sending it back to the kitchen to order something else. And don't bring out Malt vinegar or Worchestershire sauce as a "substitute! French fries as a side were luke warm and UNSALTED! Salt would no longer stick to the potatoes at that time. Sandwich was dry....definitely needed the Au Jus. Ended up eating the insides, leaving the greasy ciabatta on the plate. Probably will notvretuen. Lackluster service and mediocre food quality. El Paso has better food choices!

Cold chili isn't what I came in for. Distribute silverware BEFORE DELIVERING food. And if you forget, don't take 5 minutes to bring it. Run, do not walk to make it right. Lastly don't overcook eggs, especially eggs Benedict. Cold overcooked eggs Benedict is really disgusting.
