Hands down the best Mexican food in the DMV. Worth traveling to. Great service, plenty of parking spots, and great specials most days.

I have eaten here 3 times. The first two great the last was delivery. I got the wrong chimichangas orders all beef instead. My friends meal disagreed with him all night and it was fajitas so shouldn't have. Plus seems they give you a better serving in person. I will try again but going to. Please get your delivery straight when I have to pay for extra mileage. It's pretty on the inside. read more

This is an absolutely great place, good chips and salsa, tasty guacamole. Everything including Giant 32oz Margaritas. The food was perfect, good portions and authentic. My wife said her taco salad was the best she's ever had. I had 3 enchiladas. It's a fantastic place to eat. Going to come back next time I'm here from California. read more

The Woodbridge El Paso is part of the El Paso dynasty that is spread over Northern Virginia plus the one in Gaithersburg, MD. Quality and dish styles vary between restaurants, but the Woodbridge location is of the same great quality as the Springfield location, which we go to regularly. We arrived here around 6pm yesterday and only a couple tables were occupied. But by the time we left, the restaurant was filled. Parking is abundant around the restaurant. The best part of our visit was our wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable and responsive server. I went with my old standby Carne Asada and JP ordered the Churasco (which the menu indicated as a new item). For an appetizer, we requested the 6-piece chicken wings. The one thing that could have been better was not bringing our entrees out only a minute after we received our appetizer. However, they did bring the complimentary chips and salsa out immediately. The chicken wings did not have any hot spices, and were very mild. They did have a nice batter coating. We'd order them again. They didn't give us small plates for the wings, but to our runner's credit, he relayed our request for plates to our server and she brought them to us. My carne asada was very good. The slab of beef was tender, cooked well and seasoned appropriately. It came with a grilled jalepeño, Mexican rice and refried beans. The rice with bits of carrot and peas was very good as were the beans. The Churasco, which came with carne asada, a chili relleño, rice, salad and a grilled jalapeño. I sampled the relleño and thought it was delicious. read more

I've ordered twice over the phone for pickup. Service is fast. I like that when you arrive you aren't waiting long for your food. The taco special on Tuesdays is a great price. Best tacos in Woodbridge. I like that you can also order adult beverages to go. read more

Their salsa last night was better than normal. Omg it was soooo good. I could have drank it. I miss when they used to make their own tortillas, personally. I wish they'd bring that back but everything we had was excellent: fajitas, enchiladas, kids meal, sopapillas. Absolutely delicious dinner. You gotta go early because there was already a 10 min wait at 5:15. Wild. They need more space. read more

Quirky interior with fun decor. We have come here between 3-5p twice and it is packed! Quick service, delicious salsa (if a little sweet), generous portions (we got lunch sizes and had leftovers). Great prices on lunch menu. Will be back. Pro tip check the big box club stores for discounted gift cards. We got lunch fajitas (tasty), pozole(sp?) my sister loves it! And today I tried enchiladas rancheros also good. Will be back. read more

We came here as a group of 4 which included a toddler around 5:30 on a Friday. It was getting busy, but we were able to get a table. We had a side a cheese sauce with our free chips and salsa. It was a bit watery when we first got it and it tasted fine. I ordered the Super Burrito with steak and it was quite large. I only finished half and saved the rest. It was okay tasting. I would have maybe switched out the sour cream for cheese sauce. I ordered the cheese quesadilla, beans and rice for my son. I loved the type of plate it came on to keep the food separated. My son enjoyed the quesadilla the most. I think this is your standard Americanized Mexican food type restaurant. The menu was smaller than I have seen at other places, but had a lot of the usuals you would expect. read more

Great food but terrible service. Waiter drops off my wife's plate and proceeds to say to not touch the plate because it's hot. The waiter comes back with my order, a hot bowl of pozole. The weight of this pozole is too much for the waiters weak wrists. He asks me to grab this bowl of hot pozole and then proceeds to spill it on me. No apologies from any of the staff. Luckily I was fine, but my pants and sweatshirt are ruined. read more

After shopping at Potomac Mills, we were looking for Mexican food and found El Paso. Upon parking, the Mexican music can be heard in the parking lot setting the ambiance. The place looked packed but we were promptly seated with complimentary chips and mild salsa. The waitress was very attentive and brought me the spicy salsa which I loved. Trying to not order a huge plate (mar y Tierra or fajitas) I decided with the tacos and the wife chose the caldo de camarón. The couple next to us order the large margarita which looked huge, we ordered one medium size Cadillac which worked for us. This place is very reasonably priced and the food was delicious. Highly recommended. read more

A sink hole for your wallet. Go to the fancy sushi restaurant on waterway instead! Say you spend $80, it's all disappointment at El Paso. The owners at the sushi restaurant are humble and respectful people who do not look down on their customers. Every time I've ever gotten El Paso I've wished I went elsewhere instead so I stopped coming last year because it's the biggest waste of money. The food at El Paso makes you feel unwell whenever you go and as I'm getting older I'm choosing clothes that are comfortable and food that doesn't make me feel yucky. The margaritas are Not authentic margaritas here so lower your expectations. This is a bad spot for getting together for a drink for sure. (My coworkers would always opt for Chuy) The parking lot is a disaster, they literally "forget" about you whether you call in to pick up or come to eat/ drink. Any of the places on Stonebridge take care of you much better-- and you have a wonderful area to be surrounded by instead of a dingy building. Not to mention parking is way worse at El Paso. Difficult access, awkward parking angles, feels very shoddily put together. I for one make choices based on TLDR BAD for parking, drinks, organization once you're inside, financial losses TIPS: DON'T be afraid to ask if they forgot about you, sometimes the answer is yes. read more

I came with my family and my ESA dog. They were super nice and had no problem accommodating us. The food was AMAZING, big quantities and great quality as well. The ambiance is very good, it makes you feel like you're at home. MILAGRO was our server and she was very nice and attentive. 10/10 read more

Food was excellent. We definitely will go back. Personnel were all courteous and very helpful.

I took my mother, aunty and baby sister out. The interior decor was very beautiful, friendly staff and clean. They served complimentary in house chips and salsa and we also order queso. Both my mother and aunty order the same platter which includes one enchilada, hard taco, refried beans and Spanish rice. My sister order carnitas with the same sides served with tortillas. I order the chili relleno, tamale served with Spanish rice and refried beans. With every restaurant I've visit and they all have their version of menudo, I have to say this one it's the spot. Everything was delicious but the tamale was slightly dry. read more

My husband and I have come here 3 times in the past week. Each time we tried something different and each time we were very please with the dish we ordered. This most recent visit I got the Mar y tierra and it was so good. Well seasoned and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. I love their frozen margaritas as well. If you are looking for a good Mexican spot then I recommend El Paso. I haven't had a dish here yet that I have not enjoyed. read more

I had the pleasure of having lunch at El Paso yesterday. The restaurant was clean with lively music and good lunch specials. My server was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the daily lunch special ( 3 street tacos, rice and pinto beans). I ordered one of each taco available (chicken, steak, carnitas). My food arrived at my table shortly after my order and was hot and presented nicely. The chicken and steak were flavorful, but the carnitas was a little dry. My meal with drink was less than 12.00 dollars before tax. Even though I was only there for lunch, I also saw a lot of other good looking entrees and mixed drinks on other people's tables. My server was also gracious enough to give me a refill to go without me asking. I enjoyed the food and appreciated my experience and will stop by again for a good meal. Check them out. read more

El Paso | Mexican Restaurant - 3 street tacos w/ rice and pinto beans. Yum - Mexican Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I was visiting family in Woodbridge. So we were looking for a reasonably priced lunch to accommodate everyone. So we found El Paso. There was plenty of available parking out front. When we walked in the hostess greeted us right away and took us to our table. There was no wait so that was phenomenal!!! Its not a fancy restaurant or anything, but it was a fun vibe... We ordered the shrimp and beef chimichangas with nacho cheese and sour cream salad, a chicken quesadilla, veggie fajitas, a margarita, a chorizo queso dip, and fried wings. I thoroughly enjoyed the chimichangas!! They were flavorful. The nacho cheese and chorizo queso dip were also very good!!! The cheese was thick and the chorizo was full of flavor. Their salsa was also yummy. Some of my family is vegan so it was nice that they had vegetarian options like the fajitas. They ordered one plate and it was enough for both of them. The margarita was huge and did the trick!! Lol.. They didn't skimp on the alcohol... The portions were plentiful and everyone left with leftovers and a smile on our faces!! A Lot of Mexican places I've tried are just ok. But this place met my expectations!! The customer service was great and it was a good visit... When i come back I'm definitely going to eat here again. read more

Food was really greasy the one time we frequented the place. Will not go again & do not recommend. However my husband enjoyed his selection.

Great service great food great prices , only Mexican restaurant I go to, great lunch specials

I ordered menudo. It looked strange and tasted horrible. The worst menudo I ever had. I had menudo there before and it was great!!!

I ordered fish but they are so drying its over heat and non tested food .the bad thing is i try to call them thier answer is very rude and disrespectful. read more

Great service, food, and prices . I go here once a week and they always are fast and consistent with the food

My first and LAST time ordering from here. Every single dish had no seasoning! The fish was almost burnt and had absolutely no taste. The black beans were also cold and runny like they just opened a can and poured them into the container and lastly... How in the hell do you screw up tacos?!? All three were a cold soggy unseasoned mess! I couldn't even pick them up to eat them because the shells were wet. This is by far the worst Mexican food I've ever had! read more

The food is great but what sealed the deal for me was the frozen Margarita's and the Barrio Tacos; the BEST that I've had in the area! The vibe is authentic to the culture and the service has consistently been great! I keep forgetting to take pics, but not worries, they will be added for I've deemed this my weekly Taco Tuesday's spot! Hidden gem that must be tried! read more

Okay y'all I'm gonna be honest. I was never a big fan of El Paso until this visit. I had eaten once before and wasn't a fan. One of my friends convinced me to give it another try and I seriously cannot thank them enough. This visit changed my perspective!!! Food: Grilled Shrimp- So fresh! The sauce it comes with definitely has a kick to it Queso/Cheese Dip- Addicting and flavorful Guacamole- Avocado was fresh for sure but lacked seasoning Birria Tacos- This will be a repeat order in the future! The tacos were crunchy and delicious. My biggest pet peeve is the broth and tacos being greasy and this was not greasy AT ALL!! Watermelon Margarita Mocktail- Super sweet and great pair for my meal! Tres Leches Cake- Super moist and sweet!! Sopapillas- A bit bland for my liking Choco Flan- A great combo of chocolate and flan! Churros- Average churros, crunchy and sweet! The ice cream had a weird texture. Probably freezer burnt. Service: Jose was our server. He was super chill and made sure to check up on us frequently. I am horrible with making decisions and he gave such great food recommendations. Parking/location: Super easy to find. It is on the corner of a shopping center by itself and there is PLENTY of parking! Can't wait for our next visit! read more

I really enjoyed the food. I ordered the shrimp taco Mexicanos and a shrimp chimichanga. It comes with free chips and salsa. I enjoyed my food. The only thing is, they need a little bit more seasoning on the shrimp. I had to add my own. These orders come with rice and beans, or fries. The portion sizes are great for how cheap their food is. I ordered on doordash and there were no shrimp options. I called in and they changed my order to shrimp for me. They were very nice. The pick up was very efficient. As soon as I got there our order was brought out. Give them a try, you won't be sorry. read more

This locally owned restaurant focuses on Mexican cuisine that will fill you up for sure! The portion sizes are WOW WOW WOW! Also the Margaritas are sweet and strong so definitely get them while you are there! This El Paso has earned its reputation over many years for top notch Margaritas and Fresh Ingredients. This particular El Paso restaurant also has FANTASTIC service. The servers were all kind and informative and just all around welcoming. Our server Jose really made sure that we were having a good time and made recommendations when we couldn't make a decision. When you go there, ask for Jose. You will be in super good hands. I personally tried the following: Margarita Flight: Blue Orange, Spicy Tamarind, Watermelon, Bloody Strawberry Queso Salsa Guacamole Grilled Shrimp Gringo Chicken Tacos Tres Leches Sopapillos Churros with Ice Cream read more

Another 1st. Seat quickly and Lupe was quick to the table. The Pick 2 lunch special chicken enchiladas were very nicely done and hot. I got a side beef taco and they were not stingy on the beef and the taco was firm and crunchy. The lunch fajita was. I let sized and tasted very authentic and flavorful. The chips and salsa were tasty with warm chips. The restaurant itself is quaint though the seating is kind of tight. Nice music and decor!! read more
