    It is very difficult to find a restaurant that offers beef ribs. They are larger and more…read moredifficult to prepare and their flavor is not as mild as pork ribs, beef ribs are not as tender as pork ribs either. In the past 30 years I have probably had beef ribs only one other time. If you have never had them I recommend you give them a try at least once just to say that you have had them and to see if you really like them. I like them. The Rib Hut prepares them about as well as they can be prepared. The bark on them is thick (but not hard) and tasty. I had the potato salad. I won't be getting them again. There was nothing wrong with them, I just thought it was plane and bland and they have better sides. The pinto beans were amazing. The best I have ever had. Piping hot and seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of spicy kick. I will be getting those again! The roll was fresh and delicious and a little sweet. I liked it. The service was friendly and fast. I was greeted immediately on entering and the wait staff was fast, friendly and quick to get me everything I asked for. The restaurant itself is small and quaint and clean. I recommend the Rib Hut and will be going back again myself.

    Wow, the last two times I've gone and to the both east and Mesa now, standards have plummeted. I'm…read moregap-mouth shocked. I don't know if there has been new management in place or they are spread too thin opening the 3rd location but this has been substandard and not only in Presentation but even taste quality. Even service has been an issue at both locations recently. ‍SMH. People ask me where to go for the best BBQ, for over 10 or more years I've said Rib Hut if you like real Central Texas style, and the best tasting sauce. The sauce is still hittin'. But much has taken a fall. I'm posting two new pictures, one from 2023 and one from today. Same order. Small combo, 2 meats, chicken white meat and spare ribs with corn on the cob. One plate has a bright yellow whole corn on the cob with butter, and skewers so you don't have to get your fingers all corny. Two beautiful glistening spare ribs and a spilt smoked chicken breast still juicy. You just want to DIVE IN! To day I got a half corn cob, stick in a bowl with some butter in the bottom. Way over cooked, no plump kernels, no skewers and when asked for was told they don't have them. Ribs look dry, no shine, now they are presented on their side but even turned they lacked enough of that honey glaze. The chicken? Well it came as a whole breast, not choir in half. The skin was practically all removed it was dry, it was mealy it didn't even have a smokey flavor, in fact It had no flavor at all. There was no signature pink near the bone, a "smoke ring" if you will, that you normally see in chicken when smoked. This just tastes like ... water for lack of a better term. It had to have the sauce to pic it UP! I did not eat much and brought it home for the dogs. And I love bbq chicken. for me not to eat it, says something even to me. This is the Mesa location so of course it's all about the nostalgia in here and they got newer daisy-dukes curtains! Please, please figure it out guys, I know after so many years it's hard to constantly maintain a high level of consistency in labor and kitchen personnel and food quality. It's hard to keep up in the world today with Apple box turnover on the labor side and inflation on the product side. I'm rooting for you to WIN the battle in the end! And this is STILL the best BBQ in El Paso.

    I love this place! Anytime I cruise through the west side of El Paso, TX and have time to grab a…read moremeal, I usually make a point of eating at this small family restaurant that shares building space with the King's X bar. I learned about this place in university when I lived at the apartments behind the establishment and I had friends who worked at the bar. Initially the bar is where I spent my time, but eventually I started coming here just for the food. It's kind of a greasy spoon, but it is so delicious! The family serves typical TexMex dishes. I did a combination plate so that I could sample a little bit of everything: enchilada, taco, chile rellano, and tamale. Plus, beans, rice, and fresh tortillas are served with the plate. I got iced tea to wash it all down. The tables and chairs are old school items that you might find in a breakfast diner back in the 50s. Nothing pretty, but very practical. There isn't a lot of space, so you might find yourself taking your order to go or asking someone if you can join them at their table if they have room. There are often families with their kids getting food here. The parking lot is often packed because people come here to watch the game and grab a drink with friends. The driveway is narrow entering on one side and exiting on the other side. Although it is not clear which is which. Turning off and on to Mesa Blvd is fast paced, so just do the best you can. Your car might get dinged here. Leave the Maserati at home. Definitely my favorite restaurant in El Paso.

Or the 5 star cocktail bar it's attached too. It's a hidden gem. Everything on the menu is à la carte. But a must order is the Tacos Antonia. If I started a food truck in some other city I would only serve that. It's ridiculous. Try it. You'll be glad you did. Also, did I mention you can order cocktails from the adjoining bar? Do it...
