This place is really good. The burritos are generous and they have pretty much anything you'd be in the mood for. Except maybe migas, but that's okay. The orders are made quickly without sacrificing quality and they package everything so that it's all secure during transport. There are a few tables outside so you can sit and wait for your order or eat it there if you want to. It's a family and biker-friendly setup but cannot host large parties unless you're down for tailgating. read more

A great taco shop the prices might seem a little high at first but it will be represented in the portion size if you're in Campo and want some good Mexican food then do yourself a favor and drive past El Tarasco and hit up El Paso unless you specifically want a hash brown breakfast burrito El Paso doesn't have those. read more

Was doing fieldwork nearby on a ranch and desperately needed dinner, so glad this place was open. It's a true hole-in-the-wall, which is always a good sign. I ordered a California burrito and it was absolutely massive!! Super filling, super tasty. The guac was especially good. Great service and always happy to support a small business. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

My last purchase here I decided to never go again. The cheese quaisadia was greasy and heavy. I threw away most of it after one bite and $14. The owners are sweet ppl but only work there on weekends. Their staff the rest of the week are unfriendly & rude. Don't bother. read more

Excellent veggie burrito as big as your head. All the fixend and great verde salsa. My friend ordered the churros and even though we were absolutely full these were delicious. Excellent stop after PCT hike. read more

Food is always spot on when the older man is cooking ! What a cook he is ! They are always friendly and efficient here . I used to also go to Campo Cafe , however way too many mistakes have been made and unfriendly service ! So this is the food place and I am happy they are consistent , accurate , and friendly ! Ambiance is that of a taco shop ! I will definitely be back and I recommend this place over going to the Campo Cafe ! read more

I was doing a fast, fun and dangerous joyride in my Mustang along the 94. El Paso is Campo'a best eatery...that said there are only TWO eateries in Campo, the other being a gas station Subway. I got the $4 carne asada taco, and a $3.50 pollo asado taco...pretty standard San Diego style Mexican food, except these are huge and filling! Lots of meat, wrapped in 2 corn tortillas. Also this was a rare instance in which the chicken was than the beef. All staff were fully masked, no noses sticking out..,yay! Looks a bit sketchy from the outside, but I am writing this review more than 24 hours after dining there, and I did not get sick :) read more

This place is cash only and no restrooms. The food was good and a big selection. You order at the window & sit outside. My breakfast burrito was tasty. It could have been filled with a little more cheese. I couldn't finish it. The service is good. The sodas are in cans. read more

Once upon a time, in a small, quaint town nestled in the heart of nowhere, I embarked on a culinary adventure that would forever leave an indelible mark on my taste buds. I found myself at a humble eatery, drawn by the tantalizing aroma that wafted through the air. With a rumbling stomach and a craving for something extraordinary, I decided to indulge in the Carne Asada Burrito. As the plate arrived before me, my eyes widened in anticipation. The burrito was a work of art; a symphony of flavors beautifully wrapped in a warm tortilla. With each bite, my taste buds danced in delight, as if they had discovered a hidden treasure. It was, without a doubt, one of the best burritos I had ever savored. To my surprise, the magic didn't end there. The following day, as I unwrapped the remnants of my Carne Asada Burrito, I found that it had somehow managed to become even more delectable. The flavors had melded together, creating a harmonious blend that was nothing short of divine. It was as if the burrito had been blessed by the culinary gods themselves. While the outdoor seating atmosphere left much to be desired, with its lackluster decor and minimal ambiance, the friendly faces of the staff more than made up for it. The service was simple yet efficient; you placed your order at the counter and then picked it up yourself. Despite this self-serve approach, the people behind the counter greeted me with warmth and genuine kindness, making me feel like a valued guest. One of the most pleasant surprises was the price. In a world where culinary excellence often comes with a hefty price tag, this hidden gem offered a taste of heaven at a modest cost. It was a delightful reminder that great food need not always break the bank. Now, let's talk about the journey to this gastronomic paradise. Located in the middle of nowhere, the drive to this eatery was an adventure in itself. As I traversed winding roads and picturesque landscapes, the anticipation grew with every passing mile. The scenic beauty that surrounded me only added to the overall experience, making the journey as memorable as the destination. In conclusion, my encounter with the Carne Asada Burrito was nothing short of extraordinary. It tantalized my taste buds, leaving an everlasting impression. Despite the lackluster outdoor seating and self-serve system, the friendly service and affordable price made it a worthwhile experience. And let's not forget the breathtaking scenery that accompanied the drive to this hidden gem. If you find yourself yearning for a culinary escapade, I wholeheartedly recommend venturing into the middle of nowhere to savor this culinary masterpiece. Trust me, it's a journey you won't regret. read more

Delicious food! Burritos are massive and the carne asada fries are great . It is a cash only shop. There's a gas station right next to it and you can get cash out from there so no biggie. read more

El Paso is not for a snack. They offer huge servings that grew as the "supply chain" inflation nonsense forced them to raise their own prices. The salsas are wonderful, and I recommend the shrimp ranchera as well as their pollo asado and fish tacos (my favorites). I have yet to have anything I did not like here, but if you do NOT like cheddar cheese in your Mexican food, know that you should ask and tell them to not add it in your particular order. Locals include a lot of newer folks who like every Mexican dish to become a quesadilla. Asking them to hold the cheese seemed to win me points with the lady at the window as well, and I always seem to get more guacamole and meat in my dishes when I do that. This mom-and-pop country taco shop allows people to call in and preorder, and they do that often. Don't be surprised to order at the window and wait a bit longer than a few minutes as they fill locals' huge called-in orders. They generally are a 2-person operation. But they are NOT slow, just busy between 4pm and 7pm. They have a tip jar, and they appreciate (but do not expect) every little coin drop, so if you come here a few times, expect little bonuses for being a good customer. read more

I went again today to the El Paso Taco Shop and as always the food was excellent! I especially love the beans!

Called in an order and when I got there I was made aware that it's cash only. Which is fine but they should disclose this when people call in orders. I ordered a few burritos and they were decent. read more

It had been awhile since we ate here, two stars because the food is good but they have doubled the price of everything over the last couple years, why eat here when you could drive to old town for the same price.. They voted for biden, why make us pay!! read more

Love this place. Their breakfast burritos are fire. The only bad thing I can say is that they only take cash.

El Paso has decent prices, good portions and great pollo asada. Consistently good, local taco shop.

I had food poisoning too many times. Service is okay, but not great. I live in Campo and won't go there anymore.

Dude it's just straight up decent burritos in the middle of nowhere. All the details I can add...

Good Mexican food, cash only. Prices are fair. Food comes quickly. Large menu but basic choices are best.

I stopped here on a Sunday afternoon & I grabbed 2 burritos- the Texas (Pollo Asada, Chile Releno, Pico de Gallo, rice, & cheese) & the Carne Asada Burrito (Steak, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, & cheese). They came out fast, the green & red hot sauces were great, & both burritos were HUGE & DELICIOUS (even the next day). I come here about every 5 years when I'm hiking or camping in the area, & the food & the people who work here are always great! One of the BEST taco shops in all of east county! read more

If you want to be woken up in the middle of the night with excruciating stomach pains, and not being able to go back to rest for hours from the constant pain and bathroom trips from eating one of their burritos then definitely eat here! Several times I've been disappointed from this place, it's bummer a they are the only ones in Campo! But even with that being said I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN read more

There aren't many dining options around here so pick your poison wisely. El Paso's burritos could double as footballs. They are ridiculously big. The chicken burrito was fine but on the bland side. Going against my better instincts, I tried the Surf n Turf burrito. The shrimp--surely not fresh--actually tasted pretty good; the carne asada inside was fair. The grilled onions inside were a welcome addition. Both red and green salsas offer a nice kick and good flavor and the pico de gallo may have been freshly made. Call it 3.75 but I am rounding up. read more

We were near Campo and hungry. This place (which really doesn't look like much from the outside) was actually quite good and fast. Burritos were HUGE and tasty. If you are in the area and are hungry, it's worth checking out. I subtracted one star because it is cash only. read more

If you haven't been to El Paso Taco Shop, don't start now. They ripped me off and when I went back to ensure I'm charged correctly, they undercut how much I was owed and then called me stupid. Some quick back story and the accompanying math that goes along with it. I ordered 5 orders of carne asada fries and one bean, cheese, and rice burrito. According to the menu board, the carne asada fries are $10 each, bean and cheese burrito is $4.50, and adding the rice to the burrito cost $2. They charged me for a carne asada burrito, which is $8. That's a $3.50 difference in price. It should have been a straight forward difference of $3.77 owed back to me when factoring in the tax. No, they insisted that they only owe me $2. When I argued for at least $1 more, the cashier told me "don't ever come back here again while I'm working". Done and done. I won't ever go back there again and I hope to save you all from the same distressing experience and advise you all not to go there as well. Very very poor customer service and all I wanted to do was to be charged what I was supposed to and not be ripped off the way I was. That was so patently unacceptable. Avoid this place like they plague. If they feel it's ok to treat their customers like that, they don't deserve our business. read more

I got the California Burrito for about $9.50. It was delicious and much larger than I expected. The salsas were also very good. Lots of good outdoor seating too. read more

Been here a few times. Food quality varies. Last time it was ok, but portions getting smaller. Got sick once but I ate something too hot so that could have been it. Most of the time customer service is pretty good. Their hot sauce is good. Middle of the road food but the only thing like this for miles, so either make your own or your choices are limited. read more

Every single person I've taken to eat here has remarked afterward how great the food was, without a doubt the best burritos in a 20 mile radius read more

The food was okay, not bad but not the best. On a one ro ren ten being best ill give them a 7. If it was based on just the food I would have given another star maybe even 2 more. The problems was the lack of giving a you know what about their customer. When tou know your the only yaco shop within 30 to 40 minutes of another one i guess you show up whenever, and open whenever you want. Tried to plan the day around stopping here for breakfast, that didn't work. If your in the area and stop by there enjoy it. But after this time I would have to say it was the last time going there. Ill pack a sandwich from now on. Not saying it was all bad, i just believe in customer service, there was none here. read more

Great food, great service, and fairly priced . Home made beans from scratch. So glad to have some good Mexican food up here. I love the fish tacos, burritos, and combo plates. Everything is good. Have always had a good meal there and the owners and employees are friendly, hard working, and honest. read more

Some of the best Mexican I have had - located in a tiny town. Great authentic cuisine and awesome employees! Definitely a must - try!

Only two places to ear here in Campo! A Subway and a taco shop that ONLY takes cash and charges $1.00 for extra onion! Seriously, someone needs to offer more for these people in this community! read more

El Paso Taco Shop - El Paso Taco Shop... needs competition here in Campo, CA Wanted to charge me $1.00 fir extra onions...get real! - Mexican Near Me - Campo, California

If you find yourself in Campo, don't let the humble building fool you. This place is DELICIOUS Mexican food made by the nicest people. And very easy on the pocketbook. Stop and give this local Joint your support -- they'll pay you back with yumminess and a full belly read more

The food is so so but is the only taco shop for miles in miles around I guess if you're really hungry you can go for it.

On the way to the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo, you'll find the El Paso Taco Shop at the T intersection in extreme rural San Diego County; Campo, California. Other than the "fake" food at Circle K and Subway across the street, you'll find some real Mexican items here made by "real" Mexicans, always a good thing! I ordered the breakfast burrito, the size of a cinder block for only $4.75. A cardiologist's nightmare of eggs, cheese, bacon or ham, FRENCH FRIES and salsa on the side. The salsa tasted homemade. I did order it with bacon but it came with ham, or what seemed like ham. I only could eat half of it and had the rest for breakfast the next day. There is only outdoor seating which appeared very clean, but there were well behaved flies all over the place. This place is a treasure as it has been here forever being a hamburger stand and an ice cream stand in earlier days. Excellent find on my part! read more

Campo has a real gem here! First let me say that the people working here are exceptionally kind! Free Ice water in Campo is a true gift. We had the following tacos: (2) fish, chicken, carne asada. The Carne Asada taco came with quacamole. We got a huge quesadilla for our girls which was enough for three meals. We had chips with a smidge of cheese and quacamole. Also a side of guacamole. Total $20 bucks! Friend had a huge burrito and loved it! Super affordable! We had a wonderful meal while camping at Lake Morena and enjoying the Pacific Southwest Museum Train ride. They offer a full variety of just about anything you'd crave at a mexican stop. Dining tables are outside. It's a small spot, and looks like all the locals come and get food to go. Across the street is a Circle K and Subway. I'd eat here over Subway, anyday of my life. Enjoy! read more

Love this place! We've been here countless times. We live in the area and there aren't many options on places to eat out here. There's a wide variety of tacos, burritos and other Mexican fare. We've tried a little of everything and it's all good. We did have a cousin find a small bone in a fish taco once, but with fresh fish, we figured it's bound to happen once in a while. The fish tacos are one of our favorites. The burgers are also really good. Everything is a good price and portions are huge! read more

The place is full of flies. Rude service. Got home to find orders were wrong. Food made us sick. Never again.

Love this place! Campo is a definite food desert and having access to delicious SoCal Mexican food is awesome. Burritos are old-school huge! The beans are super delicious. The red sauce is meh, green sauce sublime, and carrots are delish. I recommend Texas burrito without lettuce or just a plain bean and cheese burrito (it is really good). read more
