    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!

    Day Special, Part 2, Soup of the day (Beef soup) and small drink or soda, $12

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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'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.

The food arrived within about 10 minutes for our group of six, which was impressive. The complimentary fried tortillas were very good, and the salsa was enjoyable as well. I ordered al pastor tacos. The flavor was good, but the meat was very dry. I liked the portion size, especially the amount of meat, but it would have been excellent if it were not so dry.

About 8 large chile toreados, grilled onions.and plenty of corn tortillas. The charro beans were mostly bean soup. 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.

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.
