    Very tasty tacos with superb salsas. The deserts were also very good. The horchata Is delicious, it isn't watered down like most.

    El Taquito - Flautas- excellent!

    Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) 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.

    Stopped at El Taquito for breakfast during our move from WA to TX, and it was such a great choice…read more The staff was incredibly friendly, and the whole place had that warm, local-favorite vibe. We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!

We decided to go eat there for breakfast and it did not disappoint. When we first arrived we were promptly greeted by the hostess and she sat us down and asked for my name and wrote it on the menu. It was a nice gesture. We had a waiter named Memo and he was delightful. For the food we ordered chilaquiles rojos and my husband had the mole chilaquiles. We also ordered a danish and a pan dulce and it did not disappoint. We had cafe de olla for our drink and we appreciated that we got a refill. It was so delicious and creamy. Overall we had amazing service and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is coming to Juarez either for vacation or for consulate purposes. It's a safe area and would recommend taking an Uber, safest way around.

Los platillos de los 3 que atendimos estaban excesivamente aceitosos y "el platillo mexicano" incipido y también puro aceite. Se pidio de buena forma cambiar el platillo por otra cosa, y el gerente rechazo el cambio. Tristemente no regresaré, ni gratiz. Tampoco lo recomendaré ni hoy ni a futuro. This place was a good place to eat breakfast. However, our last visit, we were late for brunch byb5 mins. So we decided to stick around for lunch. Food was drenched in cooking oil and gave all the diferent platters tje same taste. We kindly asked to chanhe one of tje plates due to the amount of grease amd tje waiter amd manager regused to do so and said. "You ordered it, you pay for it and we can put it to go for you. We will not be returning. I will not be recomending this place now, or never to anyone.

Which were good (lacked a little crisp but had good flavor). The green salsa at the table was fantastic, a little slice but a ton of flavor. Everything was fresh, the chips were freshly baked, the rice was not day old rice like at so many places around here it was good and actually had some flavor, the beans were good (the bright orange color of the beans surprised me, turmeric? Regardless they were delicious). Unfortunately the meat had zero spices, not even salt. The only reason not taking off a star is the salsa paired perfectly with the shredded beef tacos and the green chili burger, but a little bit of salt would have elevated the meal for sure. There was no salt on the meat in any of the meals we'd ordered. The coffee was good and strong, the mugs weren't tiny little mugs they actually gave you enough coffee to enjoy and the experience over all was wonderful. My mom spoke Spanish, I border on no sabo, pero intendo and my kids speak no Spanish at all, the menu was all Spanish but the waitress was patient and sweet with every order. Definitely worth the visit.

They always offer an affordable lunch @$9.88. The service is super friendly and dedicated. I love the colorful painting inside the restaurant. They have great Tamales that you can order for the holidays @$24 per order. I also enjoy their Caldo de rez. This is a spot near downtown judicial court. So you can from time to time run into the mayor or some city representatives. Overall a very cool place that is definitely part of El Paso's history.

Service was incredible from host to waiters , the restaurant's decoration makes you feel welcome and at the same time like having dinner in the middle of a nice silent street . The show started at 8:pm and was a very good enjoyable show by then we were almost done with food except for dessert which we enjoy watching the show .

There is a parking lot so if you are driving it's fairly easy to get a spot. They do have folks watching the lot but unsure how useful they are as last time a member of our group visited someone hit their car and those responsible for watching and helping in the lot didn't even get the license plate of the offender. We had a reservation for 6:30 pm and upon arrival we were sat pretty quickly though it was certainly not the best seat as we were positioned toward the back behind a pillar that blocks a central part of the stage area. The view was ok, but certainly not the greatest. Food & Drink - 4* We had a few drinks, appetizers, and entrees. The fundido and guacamole were both good. The aguachile shrimp was fresh and very citrusy. The flautas were crunchy and the ribeye steak was cooked perfectly though explaining "medio raro" was shockingly frustrating even with several fluent bilingual speakers in the group. My response to it all was, "Medio raro no es medio bien, totalmente diferente; el medio raro es antes que el medio." I wouldn't say it's worth of five star but it was all certainly above average. Service - 2* Here's the biggest knock of the entire visit. We arrived at 6:30 pm. We were sat by 6:35-6:40 pm. We didn't have our drink order taken until about 7:00 pm. We didn't receive our drinks for another 15 minutes. We fortunately placed our appetizer order at the same time as the drinks so the appetizers showed up about 7:30 pm. He took our entree order about 30 minutes later, around 8 pm. The show starts at 8:30 pm, we didn't receive our food until 8:45-8:50 pm. This meant we largely had to eat our entire entree in the dark since a good portion of the show is with the lights off. We did notice that at no point in time did ALL tables have dishes on their table, which made us wonder if they don't even have enough plates for the entire seating capacity. They were very quick to take empty plates which made us further suspect that this was a constraint. Overall this makes for a very frustrating experience. Pricing - 4* Subjectively I think the entrees and drinks are fairly priced all things considered. Expect to spend about $30-50 USD a person for a couple of drinks and food. There is a charge for the show, which is reasonable given the length of the show is 1.5 hours. Overall - 3.25* The overall experience was nice though the service to get drinks and food in a timely capacity was definitely the most frustrating part. I don't know if this is because they just don't know how to handle a full house, don't have the back house kitchen capacity, not enough plates to serve everyone, or just purposely go slow to keep you wanting to drink more? Id recommend arriving around 5:45-6 pm in order to hopefully avoid eating in the dark. We enjoyed the show though the impersonator of Juan Gabriel was fairly "eh." Of all the performances we all agreed his was the least entertaining and could be cut out in place of something better. This is a great show for all ages and definitely highlights the different regional cultures well. Everyone enjoyed it, the food is good, just don't expect to be served quickly. If they could improve that, it can easily be 4*.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed. Medium rare, was not very rare at all... Also didn't seem to have any grill marks. Other family members preferred theirs well done, but they looked as if they'd just been baked. I know that that salt & pepper is all that's needed for a good steak, but they both seemed to be missing. Free Flan was the highlight of this meal!

From the outside looking in, El Tragadero doesn't look like much, but once you step inside you're treated to sites and smells that will delight. The theme of the restaurant is bullfighting, and inside you'll find paintings, matador outfits, posters, etc celebrating the history of bullfighting. It might as well be a museum. Whether you are up stairs or downstairs, one of the first things you'll notice is older women making fresh corn tortillas. I kid you not, these might be the best tortillas I've ever had, and I typically prefer flour to corn. If you give them a small tip at the onset, they'll keep the tortillas coming nonstop. Before you even order you'll be provided with some chicharron and salsa, as well as some beans. A nice touch that compliments a Sol well. On the menu is a variety of delicious grilled meats with an unbeatable flavor profile that puts most American steakhouses to shame. To date I've had the arrachera, rib eye, and ribs. Although I prefer the arrachera, all three will blow you away. The meat is so good that even when I've taken it home and reheated it in a skillet the next day, it's just as delicious. Some pro tips: They only take cash but accept dollars and pesos. Convert your dollars to pesos before as the exchange rate in the restaurant will be worse if you pay in dollars. Don't be surprised if you see people waiting outside, this place is popular but they turn over tables quickly.
