CASA DE TORTA IS FAMILY. CASA DE TORTA IS HOME…read more I've been going to Dan's restaurant since 2001 when they were a little spot inside the Howdy's gas station (it used to be a Texaco and they had a different name back then). Then they moved to their own space behind the Walgreens and became Casa de Torta! I've been ordering their insanely delicious Chicken Quesadilla for going on 20 years now and I'm still not tired of it. Their Tortas and Taco Plates are amazing. They make these fruit smoothies that are absolutely bananas as well. But that Chicken Quesadilla, oh boy... that's my favorite! I order it with fresh avocado slices inside and I add their famous green salsa, a pinch of salt and WHAMO! Perfection! LOL. Dan the owner, Julio the Manager and sweet Esther the cook are like family to my mother and I. In 2018, my mom had 3 back-to-back strokes and everyone was telling me she was going to die. I needed funds immediately to keep up the mortgage payments on her house, pay medical bills, etc. etc. I made a flyer for the GoFundMe page I made for her. Dan didn't hesitate to let me hang it right on their front glass door so anyone coming in would see. Dan donated on the spot (despite going through his own serious health battles) and then the staff came together to donate a little extra. All I have in this world is my mom and my animals. She is the love of my life and for 8 months she was in the hospital with tubes and IVs sticking out of her. It was terrible. When I'd come home to shower, I would call in my order and pick it up the way I always do and they would always ask about my mom. Sometimes they would see how bad I'd been crying or how exhausted I was and they wouldn't accept my money for the food. These people were the family I never had in my time of need. They all love my mom and that fact alone makes me love them. My mom is alive but she remains brain damaged and paralyzed and I take care of her all by myself. We can't afford to eat at their restaurant like we used to because of my mom's expensive daily care, but every 8 months or so I save up to buy our favorite dishes from them. We rather eat there than any other restaurant in the city because these people are the best of the best when it comes to humanity. The amazing food is just a bonus. If you're looking to support a local business and get some AWESOME food while you're at it, this is the place to do it. Every time I have moved back to El Paso, the first thing I do is hit up Casa de Torta... not only because I crave their food ALL the time, but because Casa de Torta is home. Thank you!!!

Such a great little Northeast hidden gem!…read more I found Hilda's Tamales after an AI workshop nearby because I randomly wanted tamales, and I'm so glad I did. The ladies working there were incredibly sweet and patient with me while I attempted to order my entire meal in Spanish. I'm pretty sure my grammar was questionable, but they understood me! We ordered carne asada burritos, a chile relleno burrito, a carne asada torta, half a dozen red tamales, and a watermelon agua fresca. Everything was around $40, which was an amazing deal for the amount of food we got. The tamales were SO good. Moist, flavorful, and a really good meat-to-masa ratio. My father-in-law ended up eating most of them! My husband loved the torta, and the salsas were really good too. The ladies were also just genuinely kind. While I was waiting, we started talking about the Buy El Paso Rewards program, and I ended up helping connect them with the City so they could learn more about participating. I love finding small, family-run places like this. Great food, great prices, and really sweet people. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Northeast El Paso!

Everyone was very nice and though I don't speak much spanish I could tell that everyone was in a good mood from how happy my mom sounded while talking to the servers. the ambiance was so welcoming and I felt at home from the moment I opened the door. immediately when I walked in I could tell that it was gonna be a good restaurant. you know the feeling you get when you find a hidden gem in your city? that's EXACTLY what I felt when I walked in. In short, the atmosphere was amazing and the food was great! My mom said that she left with a new best friend and we are definitely going back!

The "Caldo de res" is a hearty and flavorful Mexican beef and vegetable soup. The name translates to "beef broth" and is one of my beloved, traditional comfort food. The soup is known for its rich broth, developed by slowly simmering some beef bones and vegetables. They also offer a weekly special which is Hamburger Steak this week. You need to place the order at the register. The decor is simple in wooden chairs and wooden stalls. So no frills here.

Peppe's restaurant in Canutillo, Texas characterizes itself as a "New Mexican Food Restaurant" so…read morenaturally I just had to drive down to see what it is all about. Since I have lived in New Mexico for many years and dined in all the Mexican food restaurants in Las Cruces as well as others around the state, I have a sound point of reference as to what is good New Mex cuisine. Inside the restaurant is nicer than you might expect from viewing it from the outside. It is full of light, open, clean, and a comfortable place for dining. Upon entering I was greeted by a friendly gentleman and told to sit wherever I wanted. There are two dining areas, a smaller room near the entrance and a larger dining area through an archway. The seating is exclusively on banquet chairs with large tables. A waitress was at my table within a minute or two with a menu, a bowl of chips and a little glass flask with salsa. The service was very pleasant and efficient. Everybody working there seemed most friendly and accomodating. Wanting to sample a wide variety of their "New Mexican" food I ordered the #3 combo plate. It was prepared and on my table within eight to ten minutes. It came with Spanish rice, whole pinto beans, a rolled taco filled with ground beef, an enchilada, a chile relleno, and red chile con carne, A small dish of their coleslaw was served on the side. So, how did the food taste? Was it "New Mexican?" Was it good? High in quality New Mex food? Let's find out. The enchilada was covered in their red chile sauce with a bit of shredded cheese. Their rolled taco was sandwiched between the enchilada and the relleno and strangely enough it was sitting in the red sauce which made it impossible to pick up and eat with your hands. Strange way to serve a rolled taco??? The relleno had no sauce over it. The plate had the appearance of New Mex food, but what of the quality? To begin, the chips were very ordinary. They rate about a "C." The tomato based salsa was low on flavor and heat. Very mediocre salsa. Rate it a "C"...no better. The beans were a bit bland and quite undistinguished. Give them a C." The rice was the usual. Rate the rice a "C+." It was fluffy and prepared well. The rolled taco which had to be eaten with a knife and fork was somewhat tough and chewy with little corn flavor. The beef filling was not very well seasoned. Rate the rolled taco a "C-." Not something to look forward to. The enchilada was ok as far as it went but the red chile sauce...THE HALLMARK OF NEW MEX CUISINE...covering it was not good. The red chile sauce at Peppe's was really below the New Mex standard. Thus, the enchilada rated about a "C." The chile con carne had some properly sized and tender chunks of pork but again the red chile sauce had little flavor and was quite bland. Not up to the New Mexican standard. Rate the red chile con carne about a "C." Rate the red chile sauce a "C-." Not the stuff of legend. The relleno was plainly speaking not very good. The coating and the chile pepper itself were both soft and mushy with little flavor. Rate Peppe's chile relleno this day a "D" for poor. The coleslaw was vinegar based and not mayo based. It had therefore a little zing to it but at the end of the day it was nothing to write home about. Rate it a "C." So, all in all, I came away a little disappointed. Although I like the restaurant and found the people there nice and the service very good, I found all the food, while not bad, (relleno excepted) to be very pedestrian. I hate to say this given how pleasant the people at Peppe's are but I did not find one food item that was really good. None of this was a good version of New Mexican cuisine. Thus, rate the overall dining experience at Peppe's in Canutillo THREE AND A HALF STARS....not bad but not a great experience for for a full serve restaurant. Everything tasted today was "C" level food. The folks that pass out five star ratings I can only say that they must have a very limited perspective regarding New Mex cuisine.

It came with a side of potatoes with chorizo, refried beans and a fresh tortilla. I look forward to returning a few more times before I leave the area for some more great food.
