Coastal Chilaquiles
Becky G.

We're visiting from San Antonio and this place is amazing! I got the shrimp and grits and wow!!! Steak skillet, rum cake French toast and chilaquiles were outstanding! Love this place.

Chicken & Waffles

We had to come back! The place was clean & organized. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The Food was exceptional as always! You need to try these mimosas from here' they're 10/10

We visited La Fete Cafe on a whim looking to try something new and near home. The restaurant is a bit small, could use some cleaning, and it bit loud. However, their service and food were great! So much flavor. Only two recommendations or cons to the food was that (1) the skillet could have used more steak (2) the orange juice they use is not good. Other than that the food itself is extremely flavorful and we can't wait to visit again and try another dish in the future.

Steak skillet
Isah K.

Oooh la la. We enjoyed the experience. I can't believe we were the only people in the restaurant but I'm not mad at it; the servers were attentive, helpful and friendly. The food was a nice change of pace from traditional El Paso foods. Soul food eggrolls: it was like a big spoonful of granny's Sunday meal without overeating. I'd never put greens, Mac n cheese, and chicken together but somehow it worked. Understandably, it wasn't seasoned like granny's to appease the masses, but the sauce on the side elevated the taste. Shrimp and grits: such a New Orleans feel to it, a much try and f you like the taste of grits. Savory and flavorful. The steak skillet was a heaping serving of deliciousness. We definitely got our money's worth and took food home. Eating here was such a pleasant experience, we can't wait to go back and try other menu items.

Catfish and grits " La fete style"

The whole experience there was so good. The food was well presented, but most of all, the taste was amazing. ! I had the fish and grits ,.. delightful! My husband had the French toast, which came with eggs , potatoes, and bacon., filling as well. Oh, and the service, very good too. We can't wait to return and bring some friends. Highly recommended...

Went back after about two years and the service was outstanding, the waiter knew what to recommend and it was spot on! The service was quick even though it was busy. The food was amazing, just like it's been before! I would say the food would be a 4.5 however the restaurant was a bit messy/dirty so that's why I put a total of 4 stars. I understand people/kids are messy but there was a lot of crumbs on floor, behind chairs etc. We will def return tho, it's been a favorite for years!

Chilaquiles,  lemon/lime water

Upon arrival it said to seat ourselves. We waited about 10 min to get attendance. We ordered 2 waters my mom asked for hers with a lime no ice . The guy who was serving gave my mom a whole lime not even fully cut in her water cup and it was brown . I told him to swap it and his response was this is the best one we have soo. What do you want .. lemon.. my mom said yes. And he proceeded with 2 huge lemon wedges in her water .. I got the chilaquiles asked for over hard eggs ( the yolk was runny) My mom got the Monte Cristo. Looked just like a plain grilled ham and cheese with some powdered sugar in top . This was a disappointment over all horrible experience.. Will not be coming back at all .

Jerk Mac and cheese was life changing. Absolutely worth the drive. Entire group left with a new perspective on life.

Steak Skillet

Hubby and I decided to venture out for a Tuesday breakfast and saw that La Fete was nearby with great reviews. To our surprise they are black-owned which excited us even more! So happy to support! I ordered the shrimp and grits which was amazing. Probably the best shrimp I've ever had. Seriously!Hubby ordered the steak skillet without cheese which he said was good as well. I tasted it and agree! We also ordered a side of French toast and that was yummy too (forgot to take a pic). No complaints. Looks cute on the outside. The name was giving French but I guess it's more southern american? Whatever it is, I can dig it! The ambiance could use a little improvement indoors, but it's quaint. Service and food overall is worth returning - very good! We were the only ones dining, so that was nice. We'll likely be back. God bless this business! Give it a try! You won't be disappointed with the food.

In this tiny place? No way! La Fete Cafe is located on a strip mall a few feet away from a car wash. Don't miss your turn! As a matter of fact go to the car wash and go right. LOL Ezra, my waiter knows the menu front, backwards and up side down. La Fete is a quaint open style restaurant with enough tables to be cozy not crowded. There is a cute wall mural where you can take selfies upon entering. Now on to the food. Excuse me. I know this great food didn't come out of this tiny place! Oh My Gosh! First things first! That Lavender Lemonade is the best lemonade I've EVER had. EVER! Wish I could take it on the plane with me. Ohhhhh so sweet, crisp, refreshing and light flavored . Fish, Shrimp, Andouille Sausage and Grits - YUM! Fish - well seasoned, fried extra extra crispy in flour batter, so it didn't get soggy from the grits. Shrimp - large sautéed shrimp were a nice compliment to the grits Andouille Sausage - sautéed with peppers and onions, chopped small but not tiny Grits - very creamy and flavorful with the Andouille Sausage and shrimp mixed in with the crispy fish on top, is so delicious. I had to visit again before I left El Paso. 2nd visit, I got Chicken n Waffles with a side of Mac and Cheese Waffles with peach cobbler butter (unbig my back) Lordy! - fluffy waffles coated with powder suger, not over sweet. Really good. Now the peach butter can be its own dessert. Oh My Lord!!!! It taste like smooth ice cream and has real peaches in it. Let me stop. I think I've said too much. (First 48) Chicken - large chicken breast, fried a little to crispy and had an old grease taste to it. Thank goodness for syrup. Mac n Cheese - Sharp Cheddar is overpowering and in a cage fight match with the garlic. Cholula to the rescue. Prices are reasonable. I'll definitely return.

A local place in a small strip mall along a major thruway with limited parking. You could drive right by it and not even realize what you've missed. The restaurant itself is very small with only 10 tables total, half of them are 2 tops. But, what they are missing in space, they make up for a wonderfully colorful dining area with lots of paintings and color and they play R&B for background music. The food is incredible. Hats off to the chef for creating a very unique menu with a number of signature dishes. Today, my group ordered the Salmon Croissant, the La Fête Croissant and the La Fête French Toast. For Starters we got the Soul Food Eggrolls. The eggrolls were filled with Mac & Cheese, Chicken and collared greens and served with BBQ sauce to dip in. These are truly unique. I've never had anything quite like them and it was a really nice surprise! They were slightly sweet and the change in ingredients creates a very unique eating experience. While they are delicious plain, but, the BBQ sauce is absolutely killer. They don't have brand name sodas or regular water. If you want water you have to buy bottles. The soda they do have is really tasty. They have a citrus hibiscus soda that is also really tasty! The salmon croissant comes with a filler of salmon. I was expecting smoked salmon and was very pleasantly surprised! Excellent choice there Chef! The fillet was moist and flavorful. Not overcooked at all! The LaFête Croissant is an actual steak as well. No shaved meats here like you would find in a Philly steak sandwich. This steak was tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Topped with lots of sautéed onions, peppers and mushrooms. Both sandwiches were loaded up with a fried egg to your liking. Both sandwiches were served with beautifully cooked holes fries with lots of seasoning t to make the flavor pop. I had the La Fête French Toast. They use a chala bread and it comes out nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside. The French toast is also served with 2 eggs your choice and the home fries as well. Honestly, the food alone deserves 5 stars. So, why not 5 stars overall? In a word, the service. While the service staff is pleasant, they are VERY green. She never introduced herself so I couldn't even tell you her name. She talked about being a picky eater as an excuse for not trying the food at her business. It's not. As a server you should try EVERY SINGLE ITEM before serving. Why? So you can talk professionally about what you are serving. Would you sell cars and then say you've never driven them? Of course not! So why is this practice acceptable in the restaurant business? Spoiler alert... it's not either! So... no introduction at greeting. Apparently her name is Kiara which was on the receipt. Then, after we had ordered the appetizers for the table she never got us silverware or plates. We had to ask for them, after the food arrived. The food took longer than I would expect, but, with the quality being what it was it's certainly excusable. I'm always willing to wait for exceptional food. Remember this... you aren't an order taker. What you are is a tour guide! You should know your food, be excited about serving it and it's the job of the server to lead their guests through an exceptional meal. Service is just as important as the kitchen. Never forget that. One last piece of advice. The table wasn't set properly before we were sat. There was no salt shaker. There were no napkins. There were no side plates. As a server, setting up your station is essential for smooth service. Imagine this. Each server is a store within a mall. The mall is the restaurant. So, how does a server set their store apart from everyone else's? Cleanliness. Attention to detail. Anticipating the needs of the guests. The one thing she did do correctly was to ask how our food was within just a couple of minutes. The general rule of thumb is to check the table within 3 minutes or the bites! This was the one thing she actually managed to do. Train your staff to suggest specific items. They should have in mind at least one appetizer and two entrees before addressing the table. The server should be saying things like, welcome to La Fête, my name is __________, can I start you guys off with an order of Southwest Eggrolls while you are looking through the menu? Why is this important? Because, like I've mentioned before, the server is a TOUR GUIDE, not just an order taker. And this is why food knowledge is essential. That way when the server says, can I start you with Southwest Eggrolls and it will trigger the guest to say, we aren't in the mood for that, but, what dips do you have? It's a conversation starter. Servers must know the food so they can intelligently discuss it and make smarter suggestions for your guests and increase their check. That simply means more money for EVERYONE.

Mango Mimosa
Bhanu C.

I went to have lunch with some friends and ordered a mango chile mimosa, chicken and waffles, and fried pork belly tacos. The mimosa was okay but too small. The chicken and waffles were bland and the chicken was barely cooked except for the edges. The waffle was nothing special and the strawberry butter did not help much. The fried pork belly tacos were bad and the pork smelled and tasted awful. I would not recommend this dish at all. The service was very slow for such a small place. I also tasted my friends' 5 cheese Mac n cheese and Parmesan truffle chips. The chips were tasty and flavorful. The Mac n cheese was too salty, oily, and flavorless.

Chicken & Waffles
Fetima W.

Finally made it to La Fete Cafe and it did not disappoint. My husband and I came here on a Friday morning. The inside is small and does not offer a lot of seating. I can imagine it being difficult to find seating during their busy hours. I am not sure if they take reservations. Jamar was our waiter and he was lovely. Good sense of humor and kind. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my husband got the chicken and waffles with peach cobbler butter. The food was delicious. The wait time was not long and the food was fresh. Their prices are fair and the overall experience was great. They offer breakfast/lunch/dinner. We will definitely be supporting this business again.

We went with a group of 15 (wife's siblings and spouses)…read more All I can say is that this was the best "large group" experience of my entire life. Usually, large group seatings brings service glitches, food glitches, less than optimal food temperatures and less than optimal drinks service. Trattoria Bella Sera absolutely nailed our experience with professional perfection every single element of the experience. Our group cherishes the times we can be all together and this wonderful experience is deeply appreciated by all of us. The food: Just stand out in all regards from the simplest pasta and red sauce (in my case, the cherished puttanesca which I make often at home) to the seafood and pasta white sauces, to the appetizers which we all shared (OMG, try the mushrooms in cream sauce and the bread and garlic!). The service: a single waitress took all our orders and she was just perfect. The plate delivery and eventual removal was a team effort and all were served at the same moment. Even the plate removal was done perfectly by the waitress and the bus lady. The dining room: We were set aside and a little out of the way of other dinners in a large high ceilinged room with really exceptional lighting and decors. Result was it was quiet enough that we could comfortably talk before, during and after the dinner which really added to the whole experience. The cost: One of the siblings picked up the tab but simple pasta plates are mostly $18 (my puttanesca was $2 additional and very worth it), then the $24 pasta and protein plates, then the $26 higher end plates and the $30 3-course plates. Note that most pasta plates are served in deep bowls with 1/3 of the sauce at the bottom and very hot so that the entire dish stays hot through the meal. Star ratings: If I could give them a 6 star rating I would.

Food really good garlic bread is the best but in my opinion the sauce isn't the best. A great…read moreserver didn't get their name though, little wait but not too long especially 8 people ordering food. Ambience is nice feels like you're in a rich persons house many statues and plenty of seating especially a second floor great if you like Italian food.

When we found out that we could order via catering I went straight for it. I let my wife know and she got excited like I was. We ordered our favorite chicken Parmesan and it came with four servings of the chicken Parmesan, a full tray of spaghetti with the sauce, a full tray of the garlic bread, a full tray of the salad, and with all the fixings in assorted to go containers, and it costs just over 60 bucks. When I brought it home it was memory Lane for our taste buds and for our stomach. And triggered off all the memories that we talked about when Cappettos used to be open on Montana. It would be great if they could reopen that building I believe it's still standing I'm not sure. Or just reopened.

Available for free pick-up or delivery with a delivery fee. *I'm in a Cappetto's Fan Page on facebook and came across a fellow fanatic who posted this tidbit of news lol. I was to finally be reunited with my seafood fettuccine and was counting down the days. I marked it for pickup and the prices for the amount of food was A STEAL. Make sure to order extra garlic bread because you will open up the catering pan and eat a few on your way home. They have a half tray of 24 slices of garlic bread and salad for $20. Once I got home, I started realizing that the amount of sauce for the fettuccine was more than enough. We honestly had leftover to dip bread in for the next few days. The pasta for a half tray was about $60 and fed our family. The breakdown per cost per plate is definitely max bang for your buck. Every bite was my childhood and upbringing coming back to life. I was in disbelief I was having my favorite dish in El Paso once again. My family now knows we will have A Taste of Cappetto's everytime I'm back in town. Honestly, I jokingly would make a comment I'd sell my kidney for Cappetto's again so IDK if I'm now contractually obligated to this with someone out there in the universe.

I felt like I found another less-known gem in El Paso…read more It's definitely a neighborhood restaurant. Food has the distinct home cooked feel to it. After all, it's housed in a converted residence with two dining areas. One looks like a smaller bedroom and the other looks like a combination of living and dining rooms. It's very cozy. When we visited, there were at least four families and two couples having a dinner. Our server was excellent. She was friendly, courteous and efficient. Our drinks came out fast, and our food came out very fast even though it was sort of busy with dinner crowd--some large family dinner parties. Serving size comes in either full or half. I ordered a full order of spaghetti with meat sauce (photo). It first looked enormous and probably it was, but I was so hungry I finished the whole thing, and it was very good! I was looking around the dining room and saw some enormous serving of salads and pasta dishes. You can add some protein with your pasta. The fettuccine Alfredo I saw had a huge piece of chicken on it. I'd say in general the serving size is very generous here yet the price is very reasonable. For instance, my large spaghetti with meat sauce was only $9.95 with garlic toast. Since it's a la carte menu, if you want to add anything else to your pasta, I'd recommend to make it a dinner for additional $6.95. It'll come with soup, salad, bread and spumoni. What a deal, but you must come here with very good appetite since the serving size is huge. The only challenge I could think of is parking. Immediate street parking is very limited. I think it's almost impossible when it's crowded. There's a parking in the back, but you have to get in from the back alley. Unless you know it's there, you might have a difficult time locating it. I must come back here to try other menu items because I enjoyed so much. Highly recommended!

Good food, good service, and pretty large portions! ambiance is cute and feels very homey.read more

But what made me want to write this was the attention we received at lunch time. We tried to eat at a nearby establishment for what was supposed to be a quick simple lunch. Said restaurant wasn't that busy but we waited more than 40 mins before the server even checked on us one time. She then told us that there would be another 30 mins before our food would be ready. It was honestly just two of us, 12 wings and fries between the both of us. We ended up leaving and drove to Carinos simply because it was in the same parking lot. Talk about serendipity. The service was above par. The food (and prices) were fantastic. Without even knowing our situation, they absolutely saved our day. The staff was friendly and accommodating to whatever needs we requested. What should have been a quick and simple lunch stop actually turned into an amazing dining experience.
