    Brisket tacos order of three
    Rick M.

    Wow, this place definitely makes some tasty food. The first time we ordered wife had the tacos de piccadillo and I had the gorditas, tacos are nice and crispy, doraditos, picadillo with delicious flavor and that spicy salsa, so good, gorditas are tender flavorful, with the same tasty picadillo filling. The second time I tried the double cheeseburger, Woah, huge patties, soft buns, definitely for big appetites, and you will want to eat every last bite, my wife ordered the brisket tacos, oh man let me tell you, those brisket tacos are to die for.

    I've been looking for a place like Happy Burger the entire time I've been in El Paso. It's an unassuming, family operated, no frills with delicious inexpensive food kind of place. As a matter of fact, those hole in the wall places are my favorite places to eat from. I was driving to KLAQ's Halloween parade at 2pm and figured I should get some food to tide me over as it was our first Halloween parade and they're usually hard to get in and out of. I felt like gorditas or tacos since they're good handheld food. The kids already had Sonic $0.50 corndogs so this was strictly for me. I saw that this place had a drive thru and once I saw the pictures of the deshebrada tacos I was sold. I wanted the gorditas as well but the tacos were a must have. The pricing was amazing as well. I was used to paying $3 for Rivas tacos (even though they're worth it) the family meal deal was a STEAL in comparison...$17+tax for 12 hard tacos with all the fixings and rice and beans. It came out to be $20. Now, the restaurant only operates their drive thru and no inside dining at this time, which kinda sucks because it made the lines longer and the all you can eat menudo is intriguing and only dine in. Bring your patience because everything is made fresh so it took 15-20 mins from ordering with 2 cars ahead of me. When I opened the tacos at the parade, everyone gawked at me. Yes I was going to try to stuff 12 tacos down my gullet. Well that was the plan but I got distracted, so only had 3 there to tide my hunger pains.  It was glorious, the tacos had a corn meal texture, which reminded me of gorditas, so it was the best of both of my choices, the texture of a gorditas, but the crispness and thickness of a fried taco shell. The beef inside was plentiful and the shredded lettuce, wedge of tomato (genius) and melted government cheese was divine. The salsa wasn't the best (Rivas still is king) but it was just enough to help the tacos slide down easily.  I didn't end up finishing until much later after the parade was done at 3pm, and I originally ordered them at 1pm, so it was cold, and a little soggy, but the cheese had hardened and made it hold it's shape and it was still delicious! I ate 4 more and when I got home at 6pm after not only doing the parade, but also the Park and Recs event, AND the Game Vault Halloween/Pokemon party, hubby finished everything and declared it yummy. I'm both sad and happy it's far from me. Sad because I know I'll crave it and it's so inexpensive I'll probably put it on my rotation weekly. Happy because it probably is better for me healthwise not to eat greasy tacos weekly, meh, but I do anyways. For my East friends, you lucky ducks, go check them out if you haven't and if you already knew about them and didn't tell me, shame!

    Great food, great prices. Happy Burger has been owned and operated by the same owners for years. The kids just recently started to help out more. Got to love and support family business's. Burgers are good. Burritos are awesome. Mexican dishes, good. I always get flautas but my family members prefer tacos or gorditas. Overall, not a bad place to pick up food in a hurry. It's always consistent which is why they get a four star. If you're craving something from here, you'll be happy to know the craving you had will be met. I'd pick this place any day for the price. Definitely worth it. Could you find better? Sure, but not on this side of town. Should you drive here to try? Nah, don't make the special trip. But definitely remember this place if you're near by.

    This is nasty and is not like anything I thought it would be. Char anything u expect flavor as to which this doesn't have. The bun is big and hard, the lettuce is soggy and the meat isn't flavorful. There's French Ketchup which is also nasty as well. The large pop is a great size but ask for light ice or you will get a 1/2 cup of ice. Fries are good and the customer service is great

    Correct way to form a burger.

    Won't order the burgers anymore, there's a reason why vegetables go on top of meat patties. If you be out your veggies on the bottom bun when you put the Pattie's on top the lettuce will cook from the heat of the still hot patty, causing the lettuce to wilt an turn into rubber, also the this creates a lot of moisture and will make your button bun soggy. So gross, I think cooks are getting lazy and think a few seconds to make them right, is not worth it. I see this happening more and more. Pic of burger done the right way.

    Lunch time. Cheeseburger with bacon and mushrooms

    I love going here for the tacos and enchiladas great good prices. I had the cheeseburger recently and i love that i could add mushrooms and bacon yum yum a little too well done but the taste was so good. They have family packs and that's always a plus. Quick pickup and on the way home with supper

    Charbroiled double cheeseburger comes w/ tomato onion lettuce and a little bit of BBQ sauce .

    Been coming here with my family since 2003 and its always had the friendliest staff which is the family of the owner. They serve the best round hotdogs and charbroiled hamburgers on the east side of El Paso! The burritos and other menu items are good too but if your a first timer you have to get a round hotdog meal if your not into hot dogs then get a charbroiled hamburger they are legit . If you've never been here don't judge this place from the outside its really good quality stuff...

    Two stars for the Gorditas and tacos. The loss of three stars because the burgers are dry and don't have much flavor.

    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.

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.
