The salsas offered as a complimentary appetizer are excellent, with varying spice levels and flavors. The waitresses are both extremely friendly and hasty, a delightful combination. My colleague and I both ordered the combo plate, which seemingly was a sampling of every popular dish on offer at the restaurant, all of which were excellent. I was disappointed I didn't get to the experience what appeared to be an extremely active bar scene here, though I will absolutely be back to rectify that. Highly recommend this spot.

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.

I always see posts asking about good BBQ. Well, I've found it! Move aside simple salt and pepper…read moreTexas style BBQ, Papamigos Tex-Mex BBQ is here! A splash of Texas and a sprinkle of Mexican bring this BBQ to over the top flavor town. Yup, I said. I envoked the Guy Fiere-ism. The BBQ is only available Fri-Sun, and it's located inside Fanatics on Montwood and Lee Trevino. The bar is a little divey, but it's clean and spacious. The times we've gone it's never super full, and the micheladas are cold. The bloody Mary's are on point if you like some spicy kick. Papamigos has an extra special Sun brunch yumminess as well. Check out their IG for pics. I haven't tried it, but we've tried their whole regular menu and nom nom nom. Here are some of our favs: The brisket is the most tender I've had. They have an AMAZING brisket taco with freshly homemade tortillas topped with an egg. Sigh! Foodiegasm! The pulled pork is tender and flavorful. It's little pork pillows of bursting flavor. The pork ribs are fall of the bone tender. My husband, an avid griller and smoker, took several mins to say something. That silence spoke volumes! The macaroni and coleslaw salads. These are not your traditional sides. They're light and compliment the BBQ perfectly. The coleslaw is a vinger slaw that is flavorful but light and balances the fattiness of the meats perfectly. The macaroni is this awesome combo of macaroni and elote. It's light and citrusy and comes topped with tajin. Just taste it. None of that heavy mayo mess here. (Trigger warning for mayo lovers.) The salsas are all homemade and have flavor but don't overpower all the smokey flavor they put into the meat. Below are pics of what we had today. The sausage bites and a two meat combo. This was more than enough for two people. Extra special: The place is run by brothers. They are orignially from the Valley but moved to EP. One of them always come out to check on you and ask about the flavor. Some might not like the chit-chat, but we do. It's quite clear they care about the food their making, and the food tastes like the love they put into it.

If you want an authentic Mexican place with amazing Mexican breakfast options, and are willing to…read morego a ways off the beaten path, look no further! Ensenada is rustic, charming and absolutely delicious. The service is chefs fucking kiss. If you're a gringo reading this, stop asking Mexicans what their favorite "Mexican food restaurant" is. In a place like El Paso, this means NOTHING. Are you asking about a flauta place, a burrito place, a Mexican steakhouse, a Mexican seafood, a Mexican diner, a MEXICAN BREAKFAST?!? Dear gringo, Mexican food is a spectrum of cuisines, flavors and traditions. Ensenada occupies a very specific region of the spectrum, Tejano/Norteño breakfast food. Stop tasting the rainbow, and taste the torta! Taste the steak omelette, with a side of hash browns, freshly refried pinto beans, homemade salsa and homemade tortillas. If you're a Mexican reading this, carry on. Eat here - you'll be taken care of. Promise.

All of our steaks were cooked perfectly and drinks came quickly. All details were perfect. The steak is hands down the best steak I've ever had. Seasoned perfectly, cooked exactly medium rare, and a portion size that will leave you full no matter who you are. This place is a MUST VISIT in El Paso. Anytime I'm in town, this is where I will go.

Not to mention your meal comes with rice and beans or a side and unlimited tea or Jamaica. Their service staff are VERY FAST and very friendly. Great place to either grab and go or sit and enjoy the planes taking off. This is a definite recommendation.

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.
