The chili rellenos is made the way I like, no batter.. served with a guacamole salad and beans.. very good! The ground beef in the taco tasted very fatty, not for me. Wait staff was friendly and the service was fast. read more

1st time here with a group of six friends. Arrived at 5:30 seated promptly. Chips and salsa arrived quickly and my beverage order taken. I ordered the Tierra Mar for my entree. The shrimp was dry and chalky in consistency the scallops which were only 4 and tasted and smelled like chlorine or bleach. A very chemically after taste was evident. There wasn't enough rice nor cheese sauce accompanying the dish. Refilling of beverages took too long about 10 minutes- unacceptable! read more

Their food is delicious and packed with so much flavor. Brought my family to this restaurant with me and they absolutely loved it. The service and the restaurant vibe overall was amazing. Very welcoming and very friendly! read more

There are several Mexican restaurants in the area and we have tried most of them and El Paso is easily the best and the one we always go back to. The food is always good, the servers are all nice and do a great job every time. The restaurant is small but always clean. read more

Went with my mom and daughter on a Saturday night and was greeted promptly at the door before walking us over to our table. It was an adorable little Mexican spot. Chips, salsa and white sauce was included in the meal. While the chips were stale the salsa was great. The white sauce was a little too sweet and thick. The queso was delicious but served with the same stale chips. The margarita was massive and excellent priced for the marg. With that being said it tasted off, like a dirty water kind of off tasting. The ice seemed to be made with very gross tap water that had a strong unpleasant taste. The Carne was great, kids meals were huge, and my family overall enjoyed the meal! read more

I stopped in here while I was visiting family for Thanksgiving week. The staff was very friendly. I ordered chicken flautas and the person I was with ordered the taco salad. We ordered to go. The chicken flautas were soo good. I would definitely return there when I come back to the area to explore more of the menu. read more

Great ambiance! Only one TV in each direction that doesn't mess up the vibe! Great service! Festive overhead music....the more I ate the happier I became! This California girl is swooning east coast Mexican food! -PS Thank you, Jennifer!!! read more

El Paso - a blue cocktail with a lime garnish - Mexican Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Service was great, the food was okay, the ambience was good. I got there 10 minutes after the 2:30 cut off for lunch, so I got charged $20 for a speedy Gonzales and a side of cheese dip. Was a little disappointed in that, it's probably the most expensive speedy I've ever paid for. The beef taco was kind of weird tasting, the chicken enchilada was fine. read more

I just moved next to this place and I came for the first time with my boyfriend, it is so wonderful here! everyone is so sweet, the food is amazing!! we got the dinner for two and it came with so much food!! it's all fantastic! and shout out to Yadira, our waiter! she was super super sweet!

I decided to check them out and I was glad I did. I tried the fajita burrito with chicken and it was very flavorful and the portion size was great! Loved their salsa and chips .....wished I had more salsa to finish my chips read more

The place is beautiful. The waitress was very nice and knew the menu, but the food is just not Mexican. How? Everything was bland. Nothing has salt, pepper or any seasoning at all. No flavor. The steak, which I asked for medium rare, was burnt to a dry crisp. The queso fundido was more, oil water texture than a dip. This restaurant has a potential to be much more. Please make the food better, lazy kitchen. read more

El Paso - Fajita Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

We just stumbled in here starving and it did not disappoint. I got special combo with 2 cheese enchiladas with flour tortillas and a taco. Best taco I've had so far since moving to southside. Loved the white sauce and cheese dip and hubs got a chicken and cheese quesadilla which was also soo good! We can't wait to go back! Highly recommend! read more

Server was polite, friendly and quick. Had Shrimp Cocktail and it was ok. Nothing special. Prices are average. Dining area is nice, well kept with music not too loud. read more

Service was fast and friendly but that's where the positivity ends. The shrimp guacamole dish was nothing like the pic in the menu(small shrimp), not well seasoned. Chicken tortilla soup was very bland. Nachos were skimpy and not we'll prepared. What a let down. This place is right around the corner from our place. I was hoping to find our regular spot. Search continues... read more

El Paso was my favorite Mexican restaurant for several years but at some point I noticed that the food just wasn't as good as it was when I first started going there. So, I started experimenting with all the other Mexican restaurants around and discovered Casa Grande in Midlothian. That became my go-to Mexican restaurant because they had a huge menu and the food was consistently good. They have switched owners and are now Los Panchos - haven't tried that yet (what is a Pancho?). During the pandemic we switched to take out food only and I decided to try El Paso again. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was great and the staff were all great to deal with. I have been enjoying the pork tamales and the San Juan Burrito very much. I can readily recommend them if you live nearby or are looking for a good Mexican restaurant. Just writing about it makes me want to have one of those San Juan burritos! They are spicy and may raise a sweat but they are delicious. El Paso has remodeled since we use to go there and it looks great! read more

Good very good I liked it a lot and I will go back. Waitress was very good and nice and everything was perfect

I never write reviews, HOWEVER, me and my girlfriend came here late night, each got 2 flavored margs and shared the fried ice cream. Before we leave we both wanted to throw up and as soon as we get home both of us we're over the toilet. DO NOT GET THE MARGS. read more

Overall I give El Paso 4 stars, but their menu on yelp states that my order, Fajitas Azteca, was $12.25, I ordered 2, however when I picked up my price was $33.67, Dude, either put the correct price on yelp or give me some money back. Signed WTF read more

El Paso Mexican Restaurant, this restaurant is family owned and is a hiden jem in the Swift Creek Shopping Center. Their food is fresh and authentic, the frozen margaronas are a hit and pair well with there EL Rey fajitas. The staff is attentive and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and taken care off. I recommend El Paso Mexican Restaurant for your Mexican Fix. www.elpasorva.com read more

Every time we come, it's really good food and service. Manuela is a great waitress!! But, most servers are good!!

Refused to take a paid in full gift certificate because the date written on the certificate had expired!!!!!! If $30 was paid for the gift certificate why does it have an expiration date!?! A total rip off!!! We talked to the manager and he refused to honor it!!! It's a paid for Gift certificate; NOT A COUPON. Our family member bought it for my husbands birthday gift!!!! We have been loyal customers there for years. We will never go there again! read more

I've dined at El Paso on numerous occasions over the last 8 years and counting. I have never had a bad meal or experience here. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm. Service is always friendly and attentive. The food always comes out piping hot. The decor is so colorful and fun! The menu has a large variety of selections as well as their lunch combos for a really great price. The entrees are always a generous portion and for myself, it usually is enough for leftovers. I have also never had issues with substitutions. Their flavored frozen margaritas are awesome! It's not like you're only drinking flavored syrup compared to other places I've been to. I'm also a big fan of their shrimp chimichanga and arroz con pollo. Overall this place is kid friendly, inexpensive and delicious. El Paso is great option for a quick bite. read more

Look, I know what you're thinking. "It's another Tex-Mex place in a shopping center." Nah, dude. This place RIPS. Where else can you dine in a restaurant shaped like a Mexican adobe, in a booth that looks like a horse? Yeah... I thought so. Aside from the incredible decor, El Paso has a tremendous selection of all your Tex-Mex favorites, along with some new ones you probably haven't tried. I had the "Fajita Tropicales," because if there's anything I love more than fresh pineapple, it's hot, grilled peppers and onions. The prices are fair and the waitstaff are incredibly polite, and helpful in suggesting menu items they think you would enjoy based on your taste preferences. Excellent for a date, margarita night or Art Deco inspiration. A+ read more

El Paso - The booth is a horse. How rippin' is that? - Mexican Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

New favorite Mexican restaurant for 2020! I would have given 5 stars, but my sons chicken tacos were a little dry. The service was great at pickup. I've never liked refried beans until today. So yummy. My husband had the beef enchiladas and I had the shrimp taco salad. I finished my dish. We will definitely be back. read more

Have been to this restaurant a few times. It has usually been pretty good. My last visit was a little disappointing. Salsa and cheese dip were both very good! My son's steak and cheese quesadilla was good! My grilled chicken salad it was not great. Wouldn't order that again. Couple of large tables were being served, so apparently the kitchen was backed up. Took quite a long time to get our entrées.Previous visits have definitely been better, so I will try it again, but this particular visit was lacking in service and quality. read more

The first star is for the chips and salsa and the second star is for the friendly staff. There are no stars for the meal itself. How is it possible to mess up fajitas you may wonder, let me tell you. Undercooked peppers and rubbery chicken. read more

El Paso - Fresh uncooked peppers with rubbery chicken... - Mexican Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

This was my favorite go-to Mexican restaurant when the bf & I lived out in Midlothian. We were in the area yesterday and stopped by again. Food is still just as good as I remember! Complimentary chips, salsa, and white sauce are always tasty, and food always comes out super quick. My favorite is the Pollo Asado with extra onions, but I also enjoy the Tacos de Cameron. Food is super affordable, portions are huge, and there's a huge variety to choose from. Employees are always nice and friendly. Never had a bad experience, and we were once-a-week customers from 2013 to 2015. Good to see they're still doing well after we moved. Will definitely stop by again next time we're in Midlothian! read more

Amazing food! Been going here for years. Once our other favorite place changed ownership, we exclusively go to El Paso unless we're on a road trip. The mgmt & servers are friendly. Salsa is always so fresh. As far as Chesterfield's limited choices go, El Paso is our favorite. read more

It is a small and nicely decorated Mexican restaurant. It shows paintings and arts. The tables and chairs are painted individually. The restaurant has 36 drawings of horses and different Mexican country side folks. The food is average. Price is very reasonable. Plaza Azteca is still #1 in my choice. read more

A typical Richmond Mexican eatery that seemed on this ocassion to dwarf other area restaurants in terms of business. I stopped there one Sunday for takeout. Ordered a quesadilla with steak for my wife and a chicken burrito for myself. We also ordered a large order of chips and two sides of rice. Not used to paying for chips, but the size of the order left me with little to complain about. Indeed the same could be said for everything we ordered. In addition, the burrito had a generous serving of guacamole. Not a bad option for those looking for a Mexican fix in the area, but certainly not anything deserving a special trip to visit. read more

Service was speedy and pleasant. However chips and food items were too greasy. Presentation looked great and it was tasty but again the grease or oil did overpower the flavors. Other than that everything else good. read more

I wish I could give zero stars! The service was awful. order was wrong. Toilet handle was broken in bathroom so couldn't even flush! Manager came to talk to us about the incorrect food a d actually argued with us! Said she give half off. Smirked and blamed us for not telling the server who never returned to the table except for a 2 second fly by when he didn't stop long enough to listen to a word. Can't wait to go back to our family owned gem of a restaurant where they really do care about their patronage. you couldn't pay me money to go back to that dump. read more

Rests Recommended by neighbor. Our first visit did not disappoint. Might be my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I had a great taco salad with all white meat chicken and my husband had shrimp fajitas. Both delicious. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back. read more

We love to visit El Paso when we're in Midlothian. Clean tables, sunny atmosphere, and quick, attentive, smiling, patient wait staff who have always been nice and helpful, particularly when I've brought my kids. Food portions are generous and reasonably priced, and the food, in my experience, is always cooked well. This last visit I got the carnitas plate and not only was it delicious but it was a huge amount and enough to take quite a bit home for another meal. I wouldn't say it's anything that you wouldn't find at another USA-style Mexican restaurant, but they do what they do very well and it makes for a really pleasant dining experience. So much to like about this little place tucked away in a strip mall. read more

The worst food I have ever ate! This place definitely caters to the lard ass large portion clientele. If you love microwave dinners this is the place for you! I ordered a simple burrito, seriously how can you mess up a burrito? Heads up I judge Mexican restaurants on the quality of their guacamole, yours tasted like dumpster! Which is surprising because you advertise on 10 different sections about your made fresh guacamole. The service also didn't help my impression of the restaurant. The place is CRAMPED! Our server also over charged us by like $10.00 and "noticed" only when I decided not to leave a tip. Don't waste your time! Head over to Casa Grande on Midlothian, or the Liquor store two door down. read more

I guess you can't expect fine dining when combining "Richmond" and "Strip Mall". However, all was not lost, here's the rundown: Pros $6 giant Sangria & Micheladas Tacos were pretty good - had the carnitas & chorizo Pretty Cheap Kid Friendly Cons Place could be a little cleaner. My menu had salsa all over the inside. Slow service Couldn't understand a word the waiter said...and I speak English & Spanish Messed up our orders Did I say SLOOOOWWWW service? Overall it's just OK, would probably get 3 stars if the service wasn't so bad. I guess if you drink enough giant drinks it won't matter much... read more
