You pick a seat anywhere and sit and when you're done eating, you go up front and pay. It makes for a very nice, low-social setting. Everything is super cheap, I paid for two full meals for my boyfriend and I for only $24 (without tip-- I tipped $10 because the staff is super nice and the food is amazing.) There are varying refill policies depending on what you get- Pepsi products are on tap so they are free. They have horchata, lemonade, and bottled drinks; these are not free per refill if I remember correctly. The drinks are actually pretty large though, so I personally didn't have an issue. I highly recommend this place!!! It is quant, tasty, and inexpensive!

Coming back to the Southwest is always a treat!…read more I know I'm going to get tons of choices of Tex-Mex restaurants to eat at. Upon touching down in El Paso, Texas, home to Ft. Bliss Texas, my family said Julio's Cafe Corona was a must. I don't complain and am easy going so off we went. We came for lunch and the restaurant wasn't packed. No wait and that meant we were immediately seated. I'm a tortilla soup addict and so I had to try. It was just okay, it did not have chicken, which it should have. My family insisted I don't eat (Yelp knows I do) so they forced me to get a plate. I chose the lunch flautas. It came with guacamole and refried beans. They were delicious! I'm not big refried bean person but the Tex-Mex beans always seem to be delicious. I've learned some restaurants add bacon to their recipes and it makes sense, of course I love them. I'm a pork lover! These were just okay and didn't appear to have that hint of flavor. I didn't eat them. I noticed that they don't serve rice, probably better for my waistline but in comparison to other Tex-Mex spots, you do get both rice and beans. Ambiance is typical of a Mexican Cantina. Would I return? If I lived in the EP, possibly, but if I'm returning and just have a few days this wouldn't be my go-to spot. Good but not the best in the city.

It's been 2 years since I first came to El Paso and I never got to try any of the Mexican cuisine…read more I beat myself up over it because Mexico is a stone's throw across the border and if anyone has authentic Mexican food, it would be El Paso. You see, my only experience with Mexican cuisine is the Mexican restaurants in Kentucky and Tennessee. I'm told it's authentic but how do I know? I have nothing to reference it to. This time around, I researched which restaurants were recommended in El Paso. There's a laundry list of them, so I had to filter it based on where I was staying. Carlos and Mickey's popped up and off I went. Full disclaimer, I felt stupid ordering. I explained to my waitress about the stuff I eat at Mexican restaurants back in Tennessee. She flat out said we don't have that. Here I was, some out-of-state guy, spouting off dishes I thought were authentic! She did however give me some recommendations. I ended up with a beef, chicken, and crab enchilada trio with half house chile con queso sauce and spicy red sauce. I also ordered a cheese chile relleno, since that's one of my favorite dishes. For my drink, I ended up trying both of the aguas frescas (Jamaica and Horchata) with free refills! First the chips and salsa. I love how they give me whole tostadas as my chips. Those circular shapes are perfect for scooping up all the salsa in the bowl. The salsa was flavorful with a medium heat. The chile relleno was fantastic. The right amount of melty cheese and sauce but what I especially loved was that the pepper was cooked to that perfect balance of tenderness. You see I love chile rellenos but they are always overcooked on my side of the country. So the pepper itself is super soft and almost mushy. For my enchiladas, they were served with Spanish rice (not Mexican) and refried beans. I really loved the Spanish rice. It was light and earthly with firmness (not super fluffy). The refried beans were also light yet smooth. I like how the food isn't heavy. Like, the Mexican food I've had all my life were rich and heavy, sometimes almost too greasy. Not here and I loved it. My enchiladas were great. The chile con queso was a welcome change, giving it a twist on standard queso with that lightness I was talking about (not heavy). The spicy red sauce was smoky and had a good amount of heat. My crab enchilada was alright. I don't think it was real crab, but rather imitation. I mean I do like imitation crab too, so it wasn't a disappointment. The chicken enchilada was great. The chicken tasted like pulled rotisserie chicken. Whether that was how it was really cooked, I don't know but it was really good. The star however was the beef enchilada. My gosh I could just eat that flavorful, juicy, shredded beef filling in a bowl by itself. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Last but not least are the aguas frescas. The Jamaica, I don't even know what's in it because I've never really tried them before but it was sweet, tart, and floral. Almost like cranberries and flowers. I downed that within minutes. Since the refills were free, I asked to try the Horchata. Lightly creamy, cinnamon-y, with vanilla, and a balanced sweetness. I fully recommend this place. There was so much food AND it was very affordable. All that was just shy of $21. I left stuffed. I felt good that the majority of the patrons here were Hispanic because if the locals are eating here, you know it has to be good. Oh and I don't know if they always do this, but there was live music until close. What a great experience.
