    Chips n salsa
    Syd G.

    Typical business trip to El Paso and had a couple hours before heading to the airport. My co-worker had been here before and insisted on trying this again. 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.

    Best homemade food in the area!  I promise you will not regret it

    Amazing service, and ambiance . Food is fresh with amazing flavor! A must try! Amazing breakfasts and don't miss out on this place.

    Flautas with Chipotle sauce
    Isabel E.

    Stopped at El Taquito for breakfast during our move from WA to TX, and it was such a great choice. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the whole place had that warm, local-favorite vibe. We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!

    Heard this place was good. I get there and I am seated immediately. The waiter brought drinks quickly and took my order. The breaded steak sounded good. I ordered the Milanesa with a side of rice. The serving was large. Everything looked fresh. I was so full. Everything on that plate was excellent. Good flavor. The place was clean and the people were nice. I only had one day but if I was in town future, I would eat here again. I recommend.

    We landed in El Paso came here for lunch. It's in a strip mall with plenty of parking. We were greeted quickly and told to pick our table. Our server was very pleasant, took our order, and our food came pretty quickly. The 2 whom order flautas were happy with their orders. I ordered the fajitas, but the meat was too salty, so I ended up eating more carbs than I wanted to so that I could eat the meat. The day special seems to be a good deal. I thought 1/2 an order wouldn't be enough, but that's still 3 flautas. My friend was very impressed w/the soup which hit the spot. The regular flautas were pretty plain but in a good way. When you're ready to pay, go to the cashier and tell them what your table number is,. In the end, excellent service, good food, and we'd return.

    Yummy food at a great price. Easy parking, got sat right away. I got the regular flauta plate with rice & beans. Everything was so delicious. Service was fast & friendly. Would recommend to anyone. Ambiance is cute inside

    Great, friendly and quick service. The meat in the Barbacoa tacos was mushy. Still edible but would not order again. The Santa Fe chicken tacos were a lot better. Rice, beans and salsa were all tasty.

    Totally surprise myself by picking this for the team! We wanted breakfast but not my team's choice so I'm happy this one turned out great! This is a great find and I would definitely recommend going here! First time I've had a Torta and I liked it alot! That will be my option to try at future restaurants. The Guacamole was by one of the best I tasted! Chips were freshly made and were delivered to the table hot! The server and staff were amazing and always asking if we needed anything. Lots of memorabilia on the walls and worth checking out.

    Loved this place. Old school Mexican food. Best guacamole. Homemade. Our entrees were very good. Rice was fluffy. Salsa spot on.

    Good food, came in during lunch but my order was taken quickly. The posted 3 Flatuas deal for check-in is not valid here, dissapointing. The waitress said it had been 3 years since they honored that deal.

    Steak tacos
    Alan Z.

    Came here for lunch and it was pretty busy. I got the steak tacos and they were pretty good. Could use a little more flavor but other than that, the texture was great. Rice, cabbage, and beans were pretty typical.

I had just flown in from the airport, and my brother arranged it as a special family gathering. Everything started normally: we were seated, ordered our food, received our drinks, and enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Then my sister (who is LGBTQ+) stepped away to use the restroom. When she returned and sat down, a manager approached our table and loudly told her--in front of other diners--that "MEN cannot use the female restroom." My sister was mortified and humiliated by the public confrontation. The manager's tone and assumption were shocking and clearly discriminatory. We immediately got up and left without eating. This wasn't about enforcing any legitimate policy; it was rude, insensitive, and targeted. My adult sister is perfectly capable of reading the restroom signs herself--no one needed to police or shame her in such a way. The incident felt rooted in homophobia and transphobia from management. We will never return to this place, and we will actively discourage others--especially LGBTQ+ individuals and allies--from patronizing it. What should have been a joyful family milestone was ruined by bigotry. Avoid this establishment if you value respect and inclusivity.

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.

We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here.

Had multiple thousand Google reviews and they were all close to five stars. So I knew I had to check it out. It was super close to my hotel, so I popped in the car and found it without trouble. Trouble. Again, there is pretty limited parking so it's kind of hit and miss whether you'll find a spot or not. Fortunately, I did. When you walk up to the place, the building itself is pretty nondescript. They have a nice selection of outside seating, and your window to order is outside. Very nice lady at the counter gave me helpful suggestions and so I ordered three tacos and an amazing lime and cucumber fresca. Went in and sat down inside and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It definitely had more of an upscale bar vibe to it than a Taco shop. The waiter that brought out my tacos told me that it turns into more of a nightclub after hours. I may have to go check that out. The tacos themselves were absolutely off the chain! The tortillas were blue corn and everything on it tasted so fresh and so wonderful. The carnitas was fantastic, the brisket Taco was to die for and the blackened shrimp Taco was one of the best I've ever had. Had. The flavors were so balanced and on point, it was one of the most satisfying taco experiences I have had!! I will probably hit this place up a couple more times before I leave El Paso. If you are in El Paso, you probably already know about this place. But I'm telling you what you cannot go wrong for tacos and that lime/ cucumber fresca! Bottom line? It's about 10 hours drive from Las Vegas to El Paso. And this Taco shop will give me a great reason to do a road trip anytime. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out!
