Everything was good. Mocaljetes and chicken nachos. Wonderfully crisp chips. Great food! read more

Good place for late night dinner since most restaurants in Slidell close bit earlier. I really like the complimentary chips & salsa! Salsa has a slight kick, chips are perfectly light & crispy. The Chicken Flautas were excellent, not too greasy with generously portioned chicken meat. Even the side of Pico De Gallo & Guacamole were good! Service level was attentive & efficient, great customer service. Drinks to go also available! I've done here several times when visiting Slidell, restaurant has been consistently clean & provides a pleasant ambiance. read more

El Paso Mexican Grill - Chicken Flautas, delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Reviews seem to reflect bad customer service. Here a good share from dining 9/5/2026. The appetizer of wheat chips were ordered... during that time, had to ask for waters 3 different times... the WHEAT CHIPS came out after the entree's and they were burnt to a CRISP. After explaining to the server the chips were literally burnt, she pretended like she didn't understand. Cannot make this up, she walked away and stated: "EL STUPIDO". One would assume she definitely understood what was explained. After being completely blown away by the remark and speaking with a manager (never had to do such btw), they refunded the chips. That's all I wanted and needed to hear from this establishment. Will not be going to El Paso from here forward. read more

I regret ever walking into this place. From the moment I stepped inside, it felt like the restaurant had given up on the concept of quality entirely. The tables were sticky, the music was way too loud for no reason, and the menu looked like it hadn't been updated (or cleaned) in years. The food somehow managed to be both bland and confusing at the same time. The chips were stale, the salsa tasted like watered-down tomatoes, and the tacos were so soggy they basically fell apart before I could even pick them up. I honestly don't know how something that should be simple ended up tasting this bad. It felt like the kitchen just threw random ingredients together and hoped no one would notice. Service wasn't any better. It took forever for anyone to come by our table, and when they finally did, they seemed annoyed that we were even there. Our drinks were wrong, our food took way too long, and no one checked on us after it arrived. By the end, I was mostly impressed that a restaurant could get so many things wrong at once. If you're looking for a place to test your patience and question your life choices, this might be it. Otherwise, I'd recommend literally anywhere else. read more

My family went to this restaurant And I could most definitely say I did not have the best experience My friend got a Cheese quesadilla With just chicken cheese and a tortilla And first of all, they had onions, tomatoes, and coleslaw on it Then we asked for a tortilla with just cheese on it When it came out, we saw that the cheese was not cooked or melted. It looked like somebody just threw it on there and served it to their customers So I would definitely rate this a read more

The food was decent, but unfortunately the overall experience was ruined by the customer service. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and in this case, the dismissive/rude attitude of one particular bartender completely overshadowed anything related to the meal. First and last experience. read more

Wed. Feb.25,2026 1PM the absolute worst food ever today. Ate same items in January. Frajitas too tough to chew. Chili relleno could not be cut with knife and had no taste. Food was cold on what was said to be a "hot plate". Ceiling fans dripping with dust blobs. This place has gone down hill. After going there several times after H. Katrina cannot stomach it again. Service was fair. Myra P. read more

no been dip anymore. that is big reason we go there. small Guaq was small, like stable spoon for $5. service poor. steak fajitas were good.

I ordered for pick up. Food was cold and the size of the mesquite grill for two was half the size it normally is. Then it was a $60 bill. Not ordering from there again. The food quality and quantity has degraded in the past few months. read more

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Not crowded at all. Food was delicious and hot. Service sub par. Not very attentive and does not check on you. Had to ask several servers for to go box. Still waited about 10 mins for one when placecwas pretty much empty. read more

El Paso Mexican Grill - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

One of our go to Mexican grills in Slidell. Primarily for takeout. My favorite is fajitas with my wife preferring the taco salad.

Ordering online DOES NOT WORK! We ordered food at my work, got there, no food. I was told their tablet was down. She couldn't see any orders and could not give any refunds. There was no manager and no one in charge there to talk to. I was told to call Carlos at 1pm, he should be back. 5 orders not filled. We have no lunch. read more

I ordered soft tacos and there are to an order. Each one has a different amount and when I go to pick it up to eat, the bottom fell out. They do not double on the tortilla. I asked the girl and she said they dont do that anymore. read more

I stopped there on Cinco de Mayo before the lunchtime menu had ended with my three other sisters after making funeral arrangements for my mother. Although the place looked a little dingy, we decided to eat outside to get fresh air. We waited forever for anyone to even acknowledge we were there we were seated by someone in the restaurant, not seated by ourselves finally someone came by and gave us menus. We asked for chips and salsa. We told them we're there for the lunch menu and then they proceeded to tell us we were too late. I said that's because we weren't waited on. We have been sitting here someone sat here and we looked at our phone to see what time we were being seated and it was 2:55. No one spoke English or could communicate properly with us. We proceeded to order drinks. The drinks were terrible the waiter who spoke no English had to keep getting other people to come help us interpret what we wanted to the waiter now mind you we are in Slidell Louisiana. I am not in Mexico City, we will then after seated and having our drink finally brought to us that we couldn't get the lunch menu and they argued and argued. We finally got the manager there and he said go ahead and take their order. He took our order and the order was completely messed up. They kept bringing us other people's food the food itself was average at best, then when the bill came, there were so many à la carte items added that we did not even order so we had to have an argument with the waiter who didn't understand us, and then the manager came over again for us to tell him that these items were not what we ordered nor where we gonna pay for them he refused to speak to us and walked off. I wrote no tip on the bill, even though we were going to dispute this amount with the bank because it was the absolute worst service that I could possibly tell you at any restaurant I've ever been to in Louisiana, but when my sister got her bank statement, they stole from her. They added a $10 tip even though in print it said no tip we are now going after them for stealing please do not ever go there. Try la Carreta's or somebody else. read more

Great food and service. Love the fresh homemade chips and shredded chicken tacos yummy!!

It's so choice. Can't get enough of El Paso. The food is like Heaven in Slidell. Most of it. I guess that's why they were voted best Mexican restaurant in Slidell last year. read more

Over-priced, spotty service, and not great food. I also believe they put Red Bull in the margaritas, because I was wired up and didn't sleep all night. Thanks for drugging me! What a stupid idea! read more

The one on Robert Blvd is great! We have been twice to new one on Pontchartain twice both time awful service and so smoky! We went New Years Eve never got waited on and left after 20 minutes! Went to the one on Robert and great service and food! read more

After living in Texas in the Dallas area for over twenty three years I was pleasantly surprised with this place. The restaurant is really large with lots of seating. The servers were attentive. A few times we had minor mistakes with our orders. I think that's due to the language barrier with some of the servers. Just make sure you are clear with any deviations from the normal way the dish is served. The food has been pretty great. Fresh and homemade. The dishes we ordered tasted homemade and were seasoned well. I really like the chips and hot sauce (salsa). That bean dip they give you is pretty great too. Also, they have good queso. Those are the first items I judge at a Tex Mex restaurant. Try the chicken and beef fajitas, the shredded chicken chimichanga with queso or the Carne Asada. I really enjoyed all of them. P.S. the charo beans are really yummy. The taste like someone's grandma's recipe. Add a little hot sauce to it if you like a little extra kick. read more

Great Mexican spot for margaritas, fajitas and they have awesome nachos! They are very spacious inside and it's a vibrant restaurant. The employees here are friendly and the prices are reasonable! Best Mexican restaurant in Slidell! Kiddos always enjoy the desserts too! read more

See all

Good food but loud atmosphere and very pricey for Mexican food..even for the times we are in

Went here for some Mexican in Slidell. Super happy with the price, and the portions. Ordered chicken fajitas that were so good. Did get some habanero hot sauce after asking the bar tender. That put the meal over the top. I was in town to 3 days, I went twice. Super good! Super friendly staff also. read more

I like coming here. The food has your standard Mexican restaurant flavor. I haven't had anything bad and typically get the tacos Mexicanos. I like the rice and soup that comes with it. They have two for one margaritas and the flavor is good. Not too sweet and true lime flavor. I also enjoy the bean dip that comes with the chips. If you have kids this is a great place to come. You can sit outside and let the kids play on the attached playground. It's fenced in so they can't get out and the adults can sit at the table and have a good time. read more

Tried it again, staff is always tired and unhappy. Lack any training in service. Are how to act for that matter they do not smile are even try get Tip. Food well it was not anything to write about either over salted are just old. My family is from Texas so I know good Mexican food aside from being Tex mex myself. I will stick with the local Mexican restaurants. But not this one. read more

Music was so loud the waiter could not hear us to take our order. We asked the staff to turn down the music to no avail. Don't eat there If you want a little peace and quiet to enjoy your meal. Won't go back.... read more

Best trio Fajitas I ever had they give you a lot of each protein. And the service is fast and friendly! The Margaritas get the job done LOL

Killer good Mexican food, extremely fast service and reasonable prices. I have eaten at the Houma store several times and always loved it. The Slidell location didn't disappoint. The portions are generous and the plates are purty. I have a new favorite Slidell restaurant. read more

El Paso Mexican Grill - The #1 lunch. - Mexican Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Place had a great atmosphere, live band and people was dancing. The food was ok, the meat tasted old idk tasted different.

I am not sure if this place tastes so good because I've been away from San Diego for so long BUT damnnnn them organic margs are where it's at. The black bean dip given with ever basket of chips is a fantastic idea. I am thankful for this place because it really fulfills my need for Mexican when I don't want to cook at home! Watch out for the live music. I'm not a big live music person and it really overwhelms the restaurant. read more

Food was horrible not a pleasant experience. Over priced Mexican food lacking the authentic taste. Was highly disappointed in the customer service will not be returning to this restaurant! read more

Took my family for dinner on March 20th Sunday for a great meal at this restaurant. The service, food and atmosphere was great as my grandkids took advantage of the playground while we relaxed after dinner. I have visited several other mexican restaurant in my area and this one is tops. Will definately be back. read more

Love the margaritas and of course a must go to when you have kids!! Between the playground for the kiddos and their 2x1 margaritas is our number one all the time!! read more

Nice environment, there were lots of families there. Food was average but the drinks were excellent. Prices on top shelf was reasonable and the bartender was friendly. Went with a group of friends would go back for drinks maybe not food. read more

Me and my family love this place for large family get togethers. My fave is the carne asada plate. Their margaritas are also excellent.

Food was excellent and very fresh. The portion sizes are incredibly big; the ambiance is bright, colorful and warm. Only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star review was the service. It's not that service was slow, our server seemed like she would rather have been anywhere else on the planet other than work. Very unfriendly. I think that she was also opposed to removing dirty plates from the table. We actually ate dessert with dirty plates on the table. We were finished eating before we ordered dessert. read more

Awful! Food and service. What food was right was dry and cold. Bartender messed up my order and tried to give me a shot of tequila to make it better. Seriously!?!?! If that wasn't the worst, the Elvis impersonator was. Never again. Ever! How does someone screw up Mexican food?!?! read more

The waiter was very kind and the food was very good. Good salsa and very good rice and I got the chimichanga which was very good. Very pleased with my visit. read more

We've eaten here several times being that we're locals. This is the first time that we've ate there at 2:00 pm. We mostly go in the evening. The restaurant was not crowded whatsoever, probably two other tables. Our waiter never checked on us, had to find someone to get the check and during this time it seemed that there was a lot of horseplay going on between the staff. Classic case of when "the cat is away the mice will play" The worse part of the experience was my lunch made me sick when I got home. This has never happened before and I still left a 20% cash tip. #honesttruth #youlostusforawhile #unforgivingdowntheroad read more
