    La Estrella Breakfast (minus the ham): the number 1 on menu.
    Pierre A.

    Nice local place in Fabens. Mostly Mexa food. The decor inside is unique, too. Don't expect organic health-conscious ingredients. I'd come back to try tacos and other items.

    As soon as you sit- has a restaurant employee ever told you to eat quickly because they need your…read moretable promptly for other reservations? YUP!!! My mom made a reservation for 3 people, June 19th, 2026. Upon arrival, staff advised our table was occupied by other patrons, & would have to find another table. They proceeded to sit us at a table meant for 2. We did not fit comfortably, and plenty of other tables seemed available. I approached front desk and requested a change of table. The staff (3 women) proceeded to explain me about their reservations, table availability, restaurant occupancy, table #'s, etc. They were not polite, were flustered & stressed out. They were checking but stated it was not possible, I basically had to beg, to be moved to another table. it worked, and we got moved. This took about 10-15 minutes. it really was a hassle... I was ready to walk out...How could you start your dinning experience like this? Anyway, we ordered drinks, appetizers & main course, as soon as we got the 1st appetizer, a an employee came to the table she told us: They have other reservations, & need our table, and we need to rush so they can take care of their reservations. I could not believe her. By the way, no other patrons were getting rushed out, just us. This woman really ruined the mood. Ive never been told to eat quickly because there are other reservations in need of my table. I told her- to go ask other patrons for their table, and to STOP disturbing us. she walked away.. on to the food review: I got the Jamaica Mezcalita- it really was great tasting & a beautiful presentation in a coupe glass, nicely garnished. Highly recommended- or not? (the waitress told me to rush & get out?? Mezcal is meant to be zipped..) My mom had the mandarin mezcal drink- beautiful presentation, she loved it. See pictures. Appetizers: we had the Jalea de mariscos & tuna nikei. Beautiful presentation & delicious- ( but did we enjoy it? not really, were told to rush.) My parents each had the tacos de pulpo, I got the Maracuya Ceviche- again beautiful presentation & taste.. as we started eating, we had another visitor- the woman from the from desk, this time saying she was leaving, and she had the nerve to tell me to not stress out & enjoy, proceeded to mention everything about the reservations, tables etc. It was annoying. I told her- that's an internal restaurant issue, i dont work here, I am a customer. I dont even know why they kept burdening me with all their internal issues. I will say nobody had the courtesy to apologize. Not one person said- sorry for the inconvenience. All i wanted was to have a nice dinner with my parents & AMAR's staff made sure to made it uncomfortable and rude. Where do you hire your staff? Exception: Max the waiter, he did a good job, was pleasant Resumen en Espanol: Jamas en la vida nos habian dicho que comamos rapido por que necesitan la mesa para otra reserva. Increible. Que pena tener un contraste tan fuerte de comida deliciosa, con empleadas groseras y sin consideracion. Fue la cena mas incomoda de mi vida, no se disfruto la comida, ni el lugar y no puedo creer que nadie penso en la coordialidad de ofrecer una disculpa por los muchos inconvenientes. Me trataron como si yo fuese empleada del restaurante contándome todos los problemas internos que tienen y apurandome... A pesar de tener un muy buen menu, no lo recomiendo. Mucho menos en fin de semana. Son especialistas en mal servicio al cliente y arruinar experiencias. Amistades me habian comentado que el servicio era malo y desorganizado, pero decidi darles la oportunidad por que mi Mama tenia muchas ganas de ir.. mis amigas tenian toda la razon!

We got everything to go and it was outstandingly delicious. Here's what we tried: -Pastel en hoja that's filled with sauteed eggplant. it's masa is made with plantains and/ or other tubers, then cooked in plantain/ green banana leaf. It was delicious. -Mofongo. We got Mofongo solo without meat- A dish made from fried and mashed green plantains and garlic sauce. It's so far the best mofongo I have ever had. The pieces of fried green plantains were super freshly fried and the mofongo had strong garlic flavors. Vegetable empanada: To our surprise the vegetables were loose inside and were pickled/ tart which was delicious. The empanada dough was so fresh and so delicious and we both felt we never had such a seriously good and fresh empanada. This place made a super strong start to a food-er trip! Very vegan and vegetarian friendly. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out!

    You all know I love to support local -- but I'll also be honest when something feels off. This…read moremight've been one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had in El Paso. Hungry and in a hurry: I had just picked up my car from Casa Nissan and wanted something quick before heading out of town. I spotted this Venezuelan place nearby and thought I'd give it a try. The restaurant was completely empty when I walked in. Music was blasting so loud that it was hard to talk. Uncomfortable start: A woman came out from the kitchen who barely spoke English. She looked at me like she didn't really want to be there -- or want me there. It was awkward from the start. Confusing menu: She handed me a single-page menu and I ordered Tequeños (5 for $10) and one Tequeyoyo. She held up three fingers so I thought, okay -- three must come in an order like the Tequeños. Another customer came in after me -- she spoke Spanish -- and suddenly she was handed a multi-page menu with more items and prices I'd never seen. That's when I realized I hadn't been given the full menu. Food quality: When my food arrived, it was a lot -- way more than expected -- and honestly it tasted like something frozen and reheated . Billing mess: When I went to pay, she charged me for three separate Tequeyoyos instead of one. I showed her the price on my menu ($4 each), but she insisted I owed for three. Then another woman came out and showed me that "other" menu again with different prices. The Spanish-speaking customer got full service and a friendly tone -- I got attitude and confusion. I can't lie... it didn't feel fair. How it ended: They finally agreed to honor the original price, but I still paid the difference as a tip because I felt bad about the misunderstanding -- even though it wasn't my fault. They didn't thank me or even acknowledge it. Final thoughts: The whole experience left me feeling gaslighted and discriminated against for not speaking Spanish. I walked out embarrassed, frustrated, and hungry for something better. I love supporting local restaurants -- but respect and clear communication matter just as much as flavor. Hopefully they improve, because no one should feel unwelcome when all they wanted was a quick bite.

Sadly I think the order got to me super late after they made it so everything was ice cold :( but trying the food : The arepa had no flavor like it tasted like boiled chicken and mashed avocado with no seasoning or salt nothing it was very bland and to top it off I find a sticker inside the arepa I had high hopes, their empanada wasn't so bad sadly I got the wrong one and their agua de piña was good

I went by myself as I had some time, but next time I'll bring a Spanish speaker since Google translate kinda sucks. I don't know much about Venezuelan food but I saw a lot of migrants there so it seemed legit, it was all single males though so a bit unnerving, but hey if you're single, ladies, they're here. Anyhow, back to the food, the breakfast plate was alright, it wasn't anything to write home about, as it came with some white cheese, an arepa, black beans, overcooked eggs and mayo. It reminded me of the meals I had in Costa Rica, hearty, filling, and no spices whatsoever. I couldn't finish it. It was also expensive at $14. The coffee it came with was so delicious though, it almost made up for the whole plate. Similar to the Costa Rican Chorreador style brew, Guayoyo is a coffee sock brewing method. Not sure if they did that here, but the result is a deeply sweet flavor with notably balanced acidity and fruity undertones. It tasted like they added condensed milk and the foam on top was so decadent. I'll go back just for the coffee. Fortunately they have something else that's ridiculously good. Tequeños, or Venezuelan cheese sticks, makes mozzarella sticks seem like children's food. It's basically fried cheese with pastry dough, but the queso Blanco is perfectly salty, the pastry oh so light and buttery and flaky. It's $9 for 6 and worth it. Don't even get me started on the dipping sauce, Guasacaca or avocado salsa, it's a brighter, tangier version of guacamole. This one tasted amazing paired with the Tequeños. I can't wait to explore the rest of the menu, it's definitely exciting to see different cuisines offered in El Paso!

So it's nice to know some things never change, in this case that's a good thing! Walking in it was like the place was left the same as I'd remembered. It was like I entered an awesome time capsule for a moment. Of course being a creature of habit you know I had to get the same old same old haha. That being the Caldo de Rez n the Mexican Combination plate #1. The combination plate has 3 cheese enchiladas, 2 delicious savory tacos, and of course the rice and beans to seal the deal. Boy was I glad when I took the first few bites the food was just as I'd remembered. I felt nostalgic for a moment as I took every savory bite. Being from Albuquerque it's so hard to find a decent Mexican restaurant down there. I have to explain to my New Mexican friends there's a huge difference between "New Mexican" and border town "Mexican" food. That being said I don't get enough real Mexican food and it's a nice treat to enjoy when I get it. Thanks El Rincon for not letting the pandemic change the food taste! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in El Paso!

Parking was hard and when I went to the back, I went to the wrong side and got into the bbq area somehow, the waitress there told me that I had to go around, since it was a dead end. I'm telling you this because knowing that it was my 1st time there, when I saw her inside later, not only did she ignore me but all the waitresses and bartenders ignored me for at least 15 mins. The bartender was busy when I came inside and she acknowledged that I was there and then completely ignored me for the rest of the night. It seems like Cheers where if you're a regular or a friend, you'll be treated well, otherwise you'll be ignored. After 15-20 mins of waiting for someone to give me a menu, acknowledge me, anything I stood up at the table to leave, then someone said oh did you need a drink or menu? I said, " yes I need a menu", and she gave me one and ran down the list of non alcoholic drinks. After waiting for another 10 mins of waiting for her to stop flirting with the other customers, she never came back and just started drinking again with them, the same waitress that was outside then came up and asked me if I was served yet. I said no and she then immediately said she was out of chicken and birria tacos. It's not the 1st time I've heard of them running out of food, but was disappointing, nonetheless. I quickly ordered the appetizer Carnes al Pincho which is like a bbq pork meat skewer and a Virgin Pina Colada in case they forgot about me again. I saw another couple waiting and leaving quickly since they had the same "service". It was loud inside and outside (think club level) but the music was good. I got a call from a friend and stepped outside to get it and by the time I got back the food was ready but the drink wasn't. It looked and smelled good and the portion was big for $6. I asked for utensils and they gave me some plastic ones. The 1st 2 pieces were chewy and fatty the last 2 pieces were inedible, just gristly and the plastic knife couldn't cut through it was that tough. I couldn't finish it and threw the rest away. The garlic bread was good though! While I was eating the 1st 2 pieces the waitress came back with the Pina Colada. The 1st few sips were delicious, creamy with a pineapple finish. That stopped when I hit the ice chips. It wasn't smoothly blended but chunky and that was most of the drink. I kept having to wait for it to melt in order to not clog up the straw, the ice chunks were too thick. Very frustrating. At the end she got my check and the total for one appetizer and one NON ALCOHOLIC drink was $14! The drink alone was $8 and none of the drinks had any pricing or menu. I went to this place because some friends recommended them and I guess if you're friends from what I saw you'll be treated well, but if you're a new client, be prepared to wait. For the entire experience, it took over an hour for one drink and one appetizer and it wasn't busy at all. This area has so many amazing bars and options, I hope they start treating it like a business and not just a personal hangout. I'm not sure I'll come back since it was a really reall disappointing experience. fowl mouths eptx (915) 519-0083 800 N Piedras St, El Paso, TX 79903 https://maps.app.goo.gl/TywZG3XnD1A4kspi9

    While on a Southwest road trip, we found ourselves spending the night in Las Cruces, New Mexico…read more When we asked the staff at our hotel for a local dining recommendation, they pointed us toward the historic village of Mesilla, just south of Las Cruces. It turned out to be excellent advice. Mesilla is a charming, historic community with an unmistakable Old World feel. Founded in 1848, it once served as the Confederate capital of the Arizona Territory and is perhaps best known as the site where the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid was tried and convicted of murder in 1881. Today, the village centers around a picturesque plaza surrounded by beautifully preserved adobe buildings, shops, and restaurants that make it well worth a visit. One of Mesilla's most famous restaurants is La Posta de Mesilla, which has been serving traditional New Mexican cuisine since 1939. Over the decades, it has expanded into a sprawling 17,000-square-foot complex made up of a maze of interconnected dining rooms. Its menu is built around century-old family recipes featuring the renowned red and green chiles grown nearby in the Hatch and Mesilla valleys. After what felt like a two- or three-minute walk through the restaurant to reach our table, we ordered margaritas and waited for the customary basket of chips. I added an order of chile con queso along with both the red and green salsas. Our drinks, chips, and salsas arrived promptly. The salsas were pleasantly spicy and packed more heat than the average restaurant version, something I appreciated. Unfortunately, the chile con queso never arrived. After unsuccessfully trying to catch the attention of one of the busy servers, we finally flagged someone down to remind them. By the time it reached our table, our entrées were only moments away, leaving little opportunity to enjoy it with the chips. My wife ordered two tacos with rice and beans. I chose the Folded Tacos--three deep-fried folded corn tortillas filled with seasoned ground beef and chicken, then topped with lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese, served alongside refried beans and rice. So, how was the food? It was simply okay. Nothing on either plate stood out. The dishes lacked the bold flavors, vibrant presentation, and satisfying textures that make New Mexican cuisine so memorable. That said, my sampling of their food only included two plates. Perhaps another entree would have delivered a more authentic taste. Service added to the disappointment. It was slow, disjointed, and often difficult to find a server when we needed one. Since we visited on a Sunday evening, it's possible the restaurant was short-staffed, but regardless of the reason, the overall dining experience suffered. If you're visiting the Las Cruces area, don't miss Mesilla. It's one of southern New Mexico's true gems and absolutely deserves a stop. As for La Posta de Mesilla, It's an experience and could be worth a visit.
