I came for lunch. I ordered the Caldo de Res. The waitress was very attentive and brought out my food and drink quickly. The large bowl was a good size serving. It also came with rice & corn tortillas. Waitress also brought out chips & salsa & limes for the Caldo. The food tasted great. There was also A gentleman playing the guitar and singing to add to the ambiance of the restaurant. I will definitely eat here again. read more

I was searching for a place to buy some take-out breakfast burritos this morning and came across this place. These burritos did not disappoint! Fast service and good-sized, tasty burritos. I will be returning to try some of their dishes as dine-in. Upon looking at the menu, they have pretty good deals on family meals. I'm sure I'll be trying some of those too! read more

Food is excellent..we live on the other side of town and noticed this little restaurant and we're very impressed with the food and the service Decided to make another drive down here just to try their burritos. You will not regret it. The taste of their Chile Colorado is authentic, very tasty. By the way try their Melon Augua, delicious read more

Update: Today was the second time I had breakfast here! I was very surprised they had migas on the menu, which is a breakfast dish made of pieces of fried corn tortillas, eggs, onion, tomatoes, jalapenos, cheese, and your choice or meat. My migas had chorizo and came with a side of refried beans and hash browns! I think these migas were better than the ones they serve over in any Austin, Texas restaurant! Today I had the red chilaquiles with a side of hash browns, refried beans, and scrambled eggs. The chilaquiles were nice and spicy, pieces of corn tortilla nice and crispy, with plenty or cheese. They could have added seasoning to the mix, like comino, and salt for the extra flavor! You can also choose green sauce instead of red. The hash browns were nice and crispy, the beans lacked flavor, so I had to throw in the salt! I guess if you are on a salt-free diet or suffer from hypertension, then eat here! Everything was good, not greasy affordable, next time I am trying the menudo. read more

This restaurant checks most of my boxes for a gem of a find; affordable, good service, good food, a good value, and friendly staff. The only issue for me is their hours - they close at 7:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday, 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and they're closed on Sundays. For those who eat dinner late, or are looking for comfort food on the weekend, they will be left craving the delicious fare served here. Pretty much everything is good. Although they serve almost any staple Mexican food dish here, they also have the best hot dogs in town here - I ordered one called "Dogos el Roble," omg; thick footlong with bacon, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, and chili beans. The best ever! I ordered a dozen gorditas to go the other day though and wasn't thrilled with the stoutness of the cornmeal, but the ingredients were tasty. You would be hard pressed to go wrong with anything you order here, so I've got to give them an unequivocal 5 stars. read more

yes! i love this place! been there several times for my lunch and wow i just love it great food, prices and SERVICE!! definitely a must go highly recommended.. A+ read more

Went there because of the good reviews. But left disappointed. People of El Paso need to get out of the city more or maybe they're just used to what they grew up with. I ordered the carne asada tacos. I couldn't take a bite without biting into fat or gristle. I don't know why they call it asada when it's cooked on a griddle I mean at least they could use better quality meat. Just because a place or someone says authentic, does not mean it's good. read more

Remarkable food tried most things on the menu any they do not disappoint definitely our families favorite place for authentic Mexican food the burritos are especially phenomenal and convenient for on go go people the staff is especially nice and helpful. Hope to see them for a long time. read more

Very good food and customer service! Great restaurant overall. My only concern is that the area surrounding the restaurant like the parking lot needs a complete renovation. read more

This has got to be one of the best hidden gems of El Paso. First introduced to this place in May by some local friends. So very thankful. The menu has so very many choices but the servers are very willing to help you find what you are wanting. They always have a couple of noon specials that come with soup. My husband had the fish soup the first time and said it was fantastic! This time we both had the soup with the beef and it too was great! He had the chicken enchiladas special and I had the tacos pastor special. They were both great! The the best experience for me is their refried beans...oh my gosh! We live in MN and this is our favorite place to come. Hopefully it never goes away! By the way, the prices too can't be beat! read more

Really good authentic Mexican food. The enchiladas montadas is currently my favorite dish at the moment. Good service too.

Seriously this place is a hidden gem! They have a lunch special with a fish, chicken, or beef soup (fish soup is the best) and a Tampikeña Steak and your choice of lemonade or Tea all for $7!!! Like that's with tax included like 7 bucks flat!! The flavor on the steak and the soup is seriously on point! Nothing but good things to say!! Try it you won't regret it! read more

Super cheap but huge portions and delicious food. The chile rellenos are highly recommended!

Some people should cook more at home if they are going to just write negative comments. This restaurant is really good. Great customer service. read more

The tacos asada are the best in town. taste just like in Mexico. Seriously the same flavor profile like if the product was from over there. And their prices are real real economical. I gave 5 stars for the tacos I don't know about the rest of the food. But make sure you always get two orders just like in Mexico. read more

My husband and I were in the area pricing around for installation on a muffler. We came to our last stop which happened to be on Alameda. While the work was getting done, we decided to grab some food within walking distance of the shop. We chose to give El Roble a try. It happened to be an early afternoon beginning of the week. Although it was past the lunch hour rush, it still seemed pretty busy. We walked in and before we seated ourselves, one of the waiters greeted us and handed us our menu. We took a booth in the back facing the door. The same waiter who greeted us upon our arrival took our drink order and brought us chips and salsa. He returned a few minutes later and took our food order. Our waiter saw I was cold and told us we were welcome to be reseated in the section across the booth we were occupying which is away from the air conditioner vents. We took our drinks and made our way to the warmer section. My husband and I both had El Roble burger. Each plate had a generous portion of fries and the burger was rather hearty. It came with lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon, ham, Muenster cheese and mayo. The taste of the burger was that of one cooked at home. It was a very good choice. During the course of our visit our waiter checked up on us ensuring our meal was to our satisfaction and our drinks never ran low. I was unable to finish the entire burger and when my husband got up to pay, our waiter brought me a to go box and packed away the leftovers even bringing a plastic bag to put the container in. Upon leaving, I asked our waiter for his name to which he replied Tavo. We were truly amazed and appreciative of his excellent customer service skills. Because of the friendly service and the go beyond what is expected approach we experienced with Tavo, we will most definitely be returning in the future. read more
