It's a little hard to find tucked back in a little strip center. The inside is interesting decor with different theme walls. What was nice is that the staff was very friendly. It was close to closing time so we ordered fast and got our chips and salsa quickly. Loved the homemade chips and that they were still warm. Salsa was ok. I liked my fajitas but I wasn't as blown away with the taste as my co-worker. I had a few pieces of meat that had grizzle when I bit into them. It wasn't as seasoned as I was hoping too. The beans and rice were ok but didn't appear scratch made.

I was disappointed I didn't get to the experience what appeared to be an extremely active bar scene here, though I will absolutely be back to rectify that. Highly recommend this spot.

I've been a loyal customer of this establishment since 2008. While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.

I discovered El Cometa in 2019 through a friend, and it quickly became one of my favorite places to…read moreeat whenever I am in El Paso. Looking back, El Cometa is what started my taco obsession. Their tacos al pastor con queso are so good. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned, a little greasy in the best way, and topped with melted cheese. One thing I love is their salsa bar. I always grab the red salsa, green salsa, and guacamole. I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible. Last summer, the hostess recognized me right away and seated me immediately. She even remembered my order. I order the exact same thing every visit: tacos and two cans of Sprite. The fact that she has been there since I first started coming in 2019 makes every visit feel like coming home. From 2019 until I moved away in 2022, I went there almost every week. To eat here, everyone lines up at the cashier to place an order, but somehow I always felt like royalty. The staff knew me, and every visit felt welcoming. El Cometa never disappoints. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and every visit reminds me why I fell in love with tacos in the first place.

I called & complained.. talked to the owner!! She was very nice & offered to replace my order... (never went) I got busy!! I've stopped going since then.. i go to DD instead!! Also the flies on the bread I told a lady I wanted a sweet bread and told her about the fly on top of the bread and she was gonna give me one the fly stood on and i old her and she didn't trash it only moved it over to the back.. quality of bread is awesome & the owner tho everything else ruined it. read more

I've been to el prado bakery many times and Jonathan, a worker there is a great employee he gives the customers great satisfaction. Mr. Niel doesn't know what he is talking about! And it shows immaturity on his part throwing stuff at the employees. Knowing the el prado bakery employees they wouldn't say no racist slur. If you would look at mr.

There may be a few other places in town, but none of them truly compare. My go to fillings are deshebrada, chile relleno, picadillo, chile colorado, chicharrón verde, colitas de pavo, and carnitas. Everything is seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of heat and spice. The menudo is always incredibly flavorful, and the tamales are outstanding soft, moist, and delicious, with the perfect meat to masa ratio. They're also very generous with the meat, which I really appreciate. The service is another thing that makes this place special. The staff is always friendly and efficient, keeping the line moving without ever making mistakes on orders a rare thing these days. You can feel how much pride they take in their work. On top of that, the restaurant is family-owned and has been passed down to the kids, which gives it an even more authentic, homey feel. One of my favorite things about this place is the ambiance. It feels like a time capsule that hasn't changed much since it first opened, and that's a good thing. The quality of the food has stayed just as consistent over the years, and that's what keeps me coming back every time I'm home.
