    Plate of crispy Tripitas
    Javier J.

    We stooped by for a COLD BEER and found it. We also had an order of 'tripitas' and my fish, they were fried crispy and were very tasty, served with their tasty green chili salsa. Great place to come to. The waitress was very friendly and always ready to replace your 'empty bottle'.

    I was at the Outlet mall and needed to pick up something to take home to eat. I had heard about this place and wanted to see what the hype was all about, so I stopped in. The menu has something for everyone- not a Mexican food lover, well, there are hamburger baskets and fries. I did go for the Gordita stuffed with chunks of pork in a red sauce that was seasoned just right. I did get a side of fries that I will ask to be crispier next time because that is just my preference but the size of the side order was good. I also got a churro- warm and crispy and soft on the inside with lots of cinnamon sugar. Evy was wrapped perfectly so as to not spill or leak and stay warm until I got home. I did not have to reheat anything! The gentleman that was helping me was very friendly and told me about the history of the restaurant and showed me the wall of awards and memorabilia. A few famous faces have dined here including a member of the Eagles, former President Bush and others. Some of their items were featured in Gourmet magazine and they have been a category on Jeopardy! They do have several TVs and all kinds of beers if you want to have you game watch party there- why cook? I am so glad I stopped in and tried this place out!

    Su y a cute little local spot. The food was good, I ordered everything chicken, and the chicken was a little dry for my taste. Next time I'll choose beef instead so it can have a little bit of taste and juicy flavor. Overall, great experience! Ana was a wonderful waitress!

    Contrary to previous posts, this place was swamped and understaffed at 11:30AM on a Friday. It was a good sign when their parking lot was full. So many people were leaving with large trays of takeout. We opted to dine in because I wasn't going to wait to eat the food. Quickly seated ourselves. They had two servers until reinforcements arrived at noon. They were all attentive, honest, and friendly. Ordered a bunch of gorditas and loaded nachos. Was warned off the bat that the nachos are kind of plain compared to the chili con queso. It's whatever. We were hungry and we usually get an appetizer. But for $15, you'd expect it to come with more "loaded" ingredients like sour cream, guacamole and your choice of meat if it was steak or chicken. Basically, it was chips, ground beef, refried beans, and nacho cheese. It did come with a bowl of their salsa. Was it good? Yes. My family and I gave it the consensus of 5.7/10. Next we had a train of gorditas. My daughter wanted a quesadilla but that was not what this place was popular for. Soooooo... she gets a bean Gordita. We also got two chili verdes, two chile colorados, three barbacoas, and one chicken Gordita. The Gorditas were solid! The sauce that came with the Barbacoa was made of lava! I swear! I couldn't feel my bottom lip and my tongue was fuego! As a family, we agreed to rate the Gorditas 7.7/10! Overall, this hole in the wall was a good find. Their marketing is top notch and so was their service. I'd recommend it to anyone in the area! Give them a try if you haven't.

    Absolutely the best Gordita's I've ever had. Might be the best place I've found in El Paso area so far. Found this place on a recommendation from instagram, and glad we did. Waiter recommended the Combination plate (Gordita, taco, enchilada) and mentioned that the Chili Colorado Gordita was his favorite. So I ordered all of it. Plus queso dip for the table, on top of the chips and salsa provided. Combination plate was very good, absolutely delicious. The chili Colorado Gordita was amazing, just packed with flavor. Will definitely order Gordita's the chili Colorado way next time we go.

    Little diner is nostalgic for me, but they aren't as good as I remembered from childhood. We used to come for the gorditas (usually meat and barbacoa), so that's what I ordered. The barbacoa was good, but the meat ones were a little dry. They could have used some sauce inside (queso, crema, etc.) but the shell is still tasty and crunchy. I put lots of salsa on it which was tasty, since it is within the spice level most salsa eaters enjoy. My brother got the bean and cheese burrito (a classic anywhere) and it was very tasty. The service was very good and also genuine. I've never described service as genuine, but if you go, you'll probably see what I'm talking about. Portions were on the smaller end if that's what you're looking for. But I cannot say enough about the flan. The flan was 10/10 perfect. The best way I can describe it is to say it is more of a custard-type flan. To me there are two types of flan, gelatin flan and flan made that is custardy as if made with actual eggs. Now there is also too-eggy type custard flan, but this was just the right balance. The flavor was also a little more complex that I'm used to, which was a nice surprise. Best flan in El Paso that I have tried so far.

    Great food ,good prices Original Mexican taste…read moreI personally love the carne asada burrito...

    Three stars for the Tacos Asada, Five Stars for the Salsa, and One Star for the Service. This is…read moredefinitely a little hole in the wall restaurant with I remember like five tables in the inside and two on the outside. My mom actually took me here because she went with her coworkers and said that the tacos were delicious. We came in found a table and went up to the counter to order. They had a good selection of tacos and tortas, and I decided just to let my mom order for me. She ordered me the Tacos Asada and thankfully just a water because I was super dehydrated. Was tempted to order a Watermelon Agua Fresca because those are my favorites, but I really needed to hydrate, and little did I know that later that was the right decision. The order of tacos took forever to come out and normally this would not bother me because I do not mind waiting if the food is worth it. Unfortunately, what was disappointing was that four other people that came after me all got their orders before me, one of them included a group of five people. When the tacos did arrive they were delicious but against contenders like Fool's Gold and Tacos El Toro Bronco they did not match up. Although what helps step up their game is the salsa. Some of the hottest salsa I had at a restaurant in a while and that is what I loved the most. I love spicy food and this salsa was killing me, had to make sure to get another bottle of water because my mouth was dying of thirst from that salsa. We rushed out pretty quickly to get home because we were a little tired from the wait and chatting so much, but I have a feeling I will be headed back to see if I can buy the salsa.
