    Compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area, this is my least favorite. The menudo is very good and served every day, it's their only redeemable quality though. For 2 burritos was $8, I wouldn't recommend this place but instead go to La Taquiza, Crystal's, literally anywhere else but here.

    AHHH La Doña, la doña. Que lastima! I was invited to try the menudo, an El Paso traditional "souplike" dish. And unfortunately I don't have much to say about this bowl. The restaurant is clean and the staff friendly but not very attentive. The chips and salsa was also tasty although the little bowl the salsa comes in is too small to dip a chip, you have to karate chop the chip to make it fit. My first impression for the meal was the bread (eh) and the chopped onion and cut lime. Both the onion and lime were a day old so I didn't use it (see picture) the menudo was average at best, and more than a few times I had to remove pieces of the meal from my mouth because it was too chewy and inedible. For the first time I didn't finish a bowl of menudo. THE BOTTOM LINE: if you want menudo make the drive to one of the many other good options in El Paso and skip La Doña. .....oh well

    Okay...English is lacking but the menu is in English and she did try. The salsa was tasty although the chips were just a tad greasy. Food was decent-Not OMG but decent. Travis counted the waitress walking by our table and on two occasions dropping off our breakfast a total of 7 times and did not fill up his empty glass placed on the edge of the table. But she was nice, just not great waitress material. I guess if we were in the area we would give it a second try.

    So we continue to try different restaurants close to our new neighborhood and this one was next on the list the food was very delicious warm and tasty and spicy the service was great it's a very small cozy place and they have several dishes you must trade check on my pictures they speak for themselves.

    Floutas and Ranchero steak.

    Excellent food and service. Quiet cozy restaurant. Absolutely delicious food. Clean and well lit. It's Off the beaten path, but when you find it you'll love it!

    The salsa is spicy and full of flavor yum yum

    It was our first time here tonight and we will definitely be back! I totally forgot to take pictures of the delicious food so I'm hoping my review will make you want to go try their food. When you walk in you can sit yourself and the wait staff will be with you soon. Our waitress was Valerie and she was fast, professional, and very nice. She brought out chips and salsa and the salsa was spicy and flavorful. Another great thing about this place is they sell breakfast all day!! My son ordered pancakes and they were fluffy and Bubba approved :) I ordered chicken flautas and the plate came with beans, rice, salad, sour cream and guacamole. My daughter had a tbone steak and that was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. Give it a try! Your taste buds will thank You!

    From Arizona but whenever I'm in El Paso this is definitely the breakfast place to go to. The chilaquiles are soooo good both red and green.

    El Taquito - Flautas- excellent!

    El Taquito

    Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle. It's got heat as it's also creamy...I would call it medium (I like spicy food.) If you're getting them to go, you might want the sauce and toppings on the side. They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

    Stopped at El Taquito for breakfast during our move from WA to TX, and it was such a great choice…read more 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!

    I think solid is a perfect word for this place. Not the best Mexican food I've ever had, but not…read morethe worst. I bumped it up to four stars for the super friendly service and the excellent aguas frescas. 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. What you get is a good amount of decent food at a good price served by great people.

    Heard this place was good. I get there and am seated immediately. The waitress brought drinks…read morequickly and took my order. The combo plate sounded good. I ordered that and got a ton of food. The serving was huge. Everything looked fresh. When I finished, man, was i full. Everything on that plate was excellent. Good flavor. The place was clean and the people were nice. I only had one day but when i come back in town , I would eat here again.
