I came to town for a special person's birthday, and we had a time! The location was clean, servers were friendly, and there was ample parking outside. I'll start off by saying that the people in our party were extremely late. I was the first to arrive, but people trickled in very slowly. I appreciate the patience of the staff with this hiccup, and allowing me to be seated and treated to water and chips/beans while I awaited the remainder of the party! That was very kind. The food was great! I live in Cali, so I wasn't expecting the best Mexican food, but it definitely was delicious. I got the steak and shrimp fajitas, which seemed to be a favorite of the birthday girl who liked my food more than her nachos! Haha. While I didn't drink, several others at the table had drinks, and they were really pretty! There was this one flight of cocktails a few people ordered that had a stellar presentation. Each drink in the flight was garnished with a different fruit and served on a wooden plank. According to the table, they tasted great as well! Thanks for making my aunt's birthday special! read more

Carencro location SUCK! rude waitress, tasteless food, and also tried to serve my toddler rock solid fries! Presented me with attitude instead of accommodating or making sure I was satisfied as a customer. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND CARENCRO LOCATION!!!! read more

Fabulous veggie quesadilla. Our server, Luis S, was kind, accommodating, and ran out to our car to give my friend his hat we almost forgot! Great music. Wall art was a topic of discussion. read more

Do not order the Lenten menu with the 3 corn tortillas with crawfish, shrimp, crab. It is purée filling with caso and 3 crawfish no crab and no shrimp. They took my dish away. Could not take picture. I have receipt . They showed dish to manager or cook . Rude and unprofessional. I shared the dish with my son we were not satisfied I left hungry. I had a mango margarita which was good. My son had a virgin one . They charged me anyway ! I have the receipt. I had a meeting at the Hilton at 6:00 I had no time for another dish to replace the empty meat one . I said: I'll pay for the drinks. The short stout Mexican lady demanded I pay for the food . She said You are going to pay for the food . I paid over didn't wait for change . I left the he/ she waitress a tip on the table. read more

The food was okay. Service was okay as well, but got one quesadilla instead of two. When we got the check 20% gratuity and card fee was added without us knowing. Price went from $62 to $73. We had to not leave a tip because one was already added. We came outside and the place was packed. People were parked in places that weren't even parking spots. Two way turned into one way. The way out was also mostly blocked by cars parked. The ambiance was horrible. The lights above us constantly flickered and music was too loud on the speakers. Going to Ambassador location from now on. read more

Good service and great food for your money there's live music occasionally and always a good time

Service was great. Usually don't like beans but I really enjoyed the bean dip. Chicken was a bit salty but everything was still delicious. read more

Food was cold we spent $60 on fajitas we did not get any flour tortillas with we got cheese enchiladas that did not have the queso I ordered on it.. all about order was wrong and when I called them after my husband drove 30 minutes to get our food in 30 minutes back and explain to them how our order was wrong he never apologized he was a very rude and said we could get our money back he never once apologize or no anything about customer service what's so ever.. I will never go back there and eat and I advise anybody else not to read more

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of great things to say about El Paso. The wait staff was not up to par, none of the drinks we ordered were accurate, the meals we ordered felt cheap and not satisfying even for a Tex Mex restaurant. The only thing I can rave about was the bean dip with the chips and salsa. We were recommended to come here by staff at the hotel we stayed at (which is within walking distance). I just cannot recommend this place based on our experience. read more

Horrific service. Dismisive and rude wait staff. A waiter finally approached our table after 30 minutes. This is the El Paso's on Ambassador. Evening of Sunday November 2nd, 2025. read more

I ended up eating here today because one of my nephews called me up and treated me to lunch. I ordered the fajita platter which was good. It just didn't have much flavor to it. I ended up taking it home and was able to doctor it there which made it a lot better than the way it was served in the restaurant. Our server was okay at best definitely could have been better. read more

Food was Mid, the only thing was good was the 2 for one margaritas that's up., everything else was unseasoned Maybe I would try a different dish when it is not as busy. I really like the location on Gloria switch better but that's just my opinion. read more

I am writing to express my disappointment with our recent experience at El Paso Mexican Grill on Pinhook. We regularly dine there on Sundays after church, and my 90-year-old mother typically shares my meal or orders a cup of soup. However, today I ordered something I thought she might not enjoy, so I opted to order her the chicken strips from the kids' menu. I was informed that this was not possible due to her age. She's 90 and my 2 year old granddaughter eats more than her. We initially decided to take our business elsewhere, but the waitress spoke with the manager, who made an exception 'this time' and allowed us to proceed with the order. I find it surprising that this was an issue in the first place. As a result, we have decided not to return to El Paso Grill in the future. Adios no volveremos read more

The Mexican style Tacos with steak Cilantro and onions are my favorite with a side of Jalapeño sauce. I also enjoy the many varieties of Tacos available. They have the best Taco Tuesday in the area with the best special also. Fajita Wednesday specials are also very good. Open until 11pm on Friday and Saturday. Great Organic Margarita and Blueberry Lemondrop Martini! read more

Good food and decent margaritas. They have good live music on certain nights and BOGO margaritas from 4p-7p.

El Paso Mexican Grill is an excellent place for a good meal. The chips and salsa are fabulous. My favorite dish is the fajita trio with flour tortillas. I also like the Surpreme Enchilada dish. Steak tacos are tasty. For the most part, the service is pretty good. I recommend. read more

The owner seems like a real pompous asshole. When people leave a negative review of his establishment even showing pictures of the food in question he claims that his place didn't serve that, well you sure as fuck charged me for it. When anyone leaves a negative review you will notice it is always their fault and never his fault. Just another reason for me to keep telling people to not go to this location. read more

Our last visit to El Paso was stellar, so another visit didn't require debate. What happened? My enchilada platter was "meh" at best. My wife enjoyed her shrimp tacos. The staff.... Our initial waitress spoke very little English. "You want margaritas?" "No, I want a Modelo Especial with lime." "We no beeer." After that she vanished never to be seen again. I'm comforting myself knowing that Superior Grill is coming soon. read more

better than the pricey new Superior Grill. fajitas a big disappointment. Black bean soup best thing we had. oh yeah, the tortilla chips were so greasy. I'm won't be back. read more

Horrible management, poor customer service skills, food is disgusting! Would not recommend

Staff and food were amazing. Place was very nice, I 100% recommend. Bartenders were attentive and friendly.

Best food and great service! Liz and Jennifer are one of the best waitresses there! The food is the best Mexican food in town, with a great atmosphere to bring the family or to hang out with friends. read more

First time here, not impressed. Waitress was kind when she came to the table, but looked like we were a bother, we didn't require much attention. Waited a long time for refills. The soda's ( got root beer then sprite) had no carbonation, switched to tea. I got the fish tacos, I didn't realize that the "side salad" was actually ON the tacos. Usually fish tacos are served with a cabbage topping, ( at other places I've been) so I assumed the same, I'll know to ask from now on any other place I go. My daughters taco was put on her boyfriends plate. It wasn't terrible but just not good enough to come back. read more

The ambiance and service was very good, however the meal was very lackluster. The Carnitas was to salty even when combined with the condiments, the rice was also salty. The meat in the tacos had a scorched taste to it, and the Tamales tasteless and very disappointing. The beans were very good, along with the salsa. If they fix the food, this would be a great place, as the customer service is good, and has ambiance. read more

I came for lunch and prices were reasonable and portions were good. The charro beans were especially delightful. The fajita could have been better and seemed to be missing seasoning. When I asked for an extra napkin I was told they were out of napkins and it took a long time just to get a paper towel. read more

This place our first impression seem like it was going to be a good decision...then steady the nightmare started to unfold. They had b1g1 drafts or margaritas strawberry, lime and mango frozen or on the rocks. I got the strawberry and lime. Strawberry tasted like a sweet perfume with no alcohol... an the lime OMG. Not a fan... we got 3 combo fajitas and the shrimp was only thing that tasted fresh. I well just say we won't be going back read more

Service is good. Location is good. Outdoor tables are good. Food quality is poor. Taste like box food. Items seem to be thrown together. Almost like grocery store pre build box food. Fourth time eating here. Each time food quality is worse than previous Sorry. It is what it is. read more

I went to El Paso on Pinhook for the first time this week. There were a few positives. -Our server was awesome! He was kind & did a fabulous job. -The outdoor seating is nice. -The manager was nice & helpful. Now why did I give this restaurant a 1 star rating? Because their menu is very misleading. I've attached a picture of the menu. They have an "El Paso Vegetarian Dishes" section except the dishes with beans are not vegetarian. I spoke with the manager. She told me that the beans contain lard. Lard is pig fat. Lard is NOT vegetarian. Foods cooked in lard are NOT vegetarian. I don't expect restaurants to cater to every single person but do not advertise on your menu something that is clearly not! The manager even agreed with me that the items listed under the vegetarian section, with beans, clearly were not vegetarian. I ended up ordering the veggie fajitas cooked in olive oil & gave away my rice & beans. I didn't even ask if the rice was cooked in chicken broth, my guess is it probably is. The veggie fajitas were just onions & bell peppers & 1 (ONE) slice of mushroom. Definitely not worth the money. El Paso please change your menu to reflect the food you are actually serving. Thank you! read more

Always wonderful service and food. We come back week after week! Taco Tuesday is usually our go to. The live band is a plus.

i love this place so so much! Liz is the best!!! steak quesadilla is my go to and i love coming here with my besties!

Liz is the best manager!!! We love this place and come here all the time!!! Definitely recommend.

My general rule is not to eat Mexican unless I'm in a state next to Mexico. On the good side, it was 2 for 1 margaritas. They were very good and strong. The food was just OK. Generally everything including the salsa lacked in flavor or any semblance of spices. If you are into bland food, then this might be the place for you read more

I had a great experience with our family at El Paso. I ordered the Grand Margarita (Large, duh) and was not disappointed. Cullen (hope I spelled his name correctly) was friendly and attentive. He also gave great suggestions. Food and drinks were great and I enjoyed the live music ambiance they had! read more

I waited 2 1/2 hours for my drink which wasn't right at first didn't come with a straw and then a another 1 1/2 hours for the food in which case I ordered a cheese quesadilla with fries and they gave me a chicken quesadilla with no French fries or any other side. I would like to say that their service is lackadaisical and terrible. lastly they played music to loud in order to talk to my friend we would have to yell at eachother just to hear a whisper. Overall the food is awful, the service is incompetent, and the atmosphere has no hospitality. read more

We Won't be returning to this location again. We were seated by the door which led to the patio, almost stuck in the doorway where servers went in and out non-stop. We did not request this spot nor was the restaurant busy enough to warrant putting us this in spot. It would be okay if the servers would have closed the door but it was left open every single time they went in and out which made it unbearably hot. There was even a sign on the door stating it needed to remain closed. Our food arrived quickly that's why we didn't request a table change. The fajitas I ordered were fatty and tough. read more

4 of us tonight. The lime margaritas were not good but very potent. Goal achieved. The second round we chose mango margaritas. Much better and still potent. We ordered a small side of queso. This was worth it for the money. We had two folks who split the fish tacos. It was good but did not have sauce. Save your salsa. One had tortilla soup. Very good. I had the steak quesadillas. Very good. The meat was tender and seasoned well. Service was a plus. They also had had a live band. I will make this my regular Mexican restaurant. read more
