We are in town for a body building competition and were excited to see if this place is still as good as when we lived here 3 years ago. It is!!! Ordered the fish taco, the little shack taco and the pulpo taco and they were all delicious. So good that we came back today for more. Glad to see they are still here and still consistent with the food. I'll miss The Little Shack. read more

Food and staff are good. I do recommend eating or have a red beer and shrimp cocktail.

This is one of my favorite places to eat on the westside in El Paso. The restaurant is literally looks like a "little shack" from the outside. The bathrooms are also outside but connected to the building. They always start you off with free chips and salsa, which is delicious but the salsa does have a spicy kick to it. My favorite tacos are the little shack, which has a delicious sauce on it that I love, and the fiesta taco that mixes shrimp and beef - it is DELICIOUS!! I also love the fish tacos as well! We also love getting the queso fundido and eating it with the tortillas or even adding it to our tacos. Little shack is a great, affordable place to get yummy tacos - especially seafood ones! We brought our friends from out of town here, and definitely recommend to everyone! read more

I fell in love with fish tacos while on the west coast and haven't found anything reliable outside that time zone unless I cook them myself until now. The Little shack was delicious. Nicely cooked fish and very flavorful accompaniments including cabbage, tomatoes, jalapeños, lime and sauces. My only wish is that they'd have an option for grilled or blackened tacos vs just lightly fried. In addition to the typical fish and shrimp tacos, they also have more unique combinations. I tried the poblano and shrimp taco. I gobbled it up way too fast to take a photo. Oops! read more

Was overcharged, I ordered combos of 3 tacos and they charged me each taco individually which is more expensive. Their menu does not reflect the new prices and also they a have 3% credit card fee which they don't tell you. read more

Overall- Very cozy place for a casual seafood dinner, seating somewhat limited so you should call ahead. Came here for dinner on a weekday. Since it is a shack in the middle of the parking lot, the seating was somewhat limited. There are about 10-12 tables on the inside. I had to wait about 20 minutes for a table and the people who arrived just after me had to wait even longer. Once inside the restaurant was cozy but not cramped. The service was very decently fast once seated. The food was very solid! I had the appetizer trio for my main course and when combined with the chips, was a very filling meal. The salsa they served with the chips was hotter than most salsas I've had. They were also kind enough to refill the chips for free. Overall, very solid place. They have another one like 5 minutes down the street so go to that one if this one is busy. read more

I LOVE coming here for tacos! Omg they have this taco that has fish, rajas and cheese . Such great prices, probably my favorite taco place in EP read more

My sister was coming over and she wanted something that she could pick up. She suggested this restaurant because she had been there before. We ordered an order of fish tacos but unfortunately they were fried. The menu didn't specify whether the fish was fried or grilled, and I forgot to ask. The price was good, but the taste was not very good. They were a bit dry. read more

Congratulations on keeping and continuing with good customer service, great atmosphere and GREAT TASTE !!!!! ... highly recommend ALL the Tacos ... this visit we started with a shrimp Red Aguachiles appetizer, delicious shrimp cover with house made red salsa combine with onion and cucumber , very FRESH ... then the Tacos .. WOW really good , My recommendation is to order three different Tacos so you will have a great experience... in this case I order One Little Shack , One Fiesta and One Little Shack... Oh! DONT FORGET to take your favorite Beer so they will put it in a bucket with Ice and prepare you a delicious Chelada Glass (ice with lemon) of course they will charge you $1.50 per glass and .50 per beer NOT BAD .. I will continue visit Little Shack read more

This Little Shack location is LITERALLY a little shack. I've heard fairly good things about the fish tacos here, but unfortunately, their tacos didn't taste like much to me and I didn't get the hype. Ambiance - The inside is fairly small and we had to squeeze our party of 5 in. The decor was cute though. Service - The servers were willing to give recommendations and were attentative. Food: Had fish and shrimp tacos and honestly, they didn't really taste like much to me. I couldn't really taste the seafood and I thought the taco was bland. Pricing - Give or take ~$10 for a mix-match of 3 tacos which I thought was fairly expensive considering the quality. Overall, I would not recommend this place. While the location was interesting, I did not enjoy the food. P.S. This is BYOB due to it being on a parking lot. The server explained it and it was actually a pretty interesting backstory to why it's BYOB. read more

This location is literally a little shack, very cozy. We had a mix of fried fish, pork and steak tacos. You can mix and match the 3 tacos on your plate. Outstanding flavors! The appetizer chips were a bit dark for my liking but the salsa dip with it was outstanding and a welcome change from the usual salsa dips you get at other places. Service was quick and friendly. If you are on the west side of El Paso and craving excellent tacos, this shack should be on your list. read more

Little Shack - Steak tacos - Seafood Near Me - El Paso, Texas

What an odd location. We walked up to it and it is like an impromptu building in the middle of a strip mall parking lot. Walking in it's like an ocean theme with nets and anchors. The service was prompt and friendly. Unlimited chips and salsa were fantastic. We ordered the fish taco, fiesta taco ( shrimp and steak), and the shrimp and avacado tacos. The food was super cheap, about $2-3/taco and we got here at happy hour which is 2-6 M-Th. It was so good that we ordered extra tacos. Fair warning though that the bathroom is a bathroom with an exterior entrance. If you are a fan of hole in the wall restaurants that are super cheap and tasty, this place is for you! read more

Little Shack - Seafood Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Hi!! It's BYOB (there is a small fee & it's a max of 3 drinks per person). They will hold the extras up front for you, so if it seems like your missing some drinks, that's where they are. We ordered a pick 2 appetizer of calamari and ceviche. The calamari lacked a little in flavor, but he ceviche was SO GOOD! Also, they start you out with chips and salsa. The salsa is somewhat thin (I was there was more freshness to it, but that's just my preference). However, it's complimentary so I can't complain!! Finally, we ordered fish tacos. These were delicious! They come with two salsas. Beware though, there are jalapeños on them and they might be a little spicy. Overall, this was a great experience. I will be back (-: read more

When stopping in El Paso, me and the fellas were looking for some grub after a long day. Little Shack was an extremely pleasant surprise. Honestly one of the best places I've ever eaten at. Everything about this restaurant worked out. When we walked in, we got seated immediately and they bust out the chips and salsa. The chips were thick and crunchy and the salsa was more rich and creamy compared to normal salsa. It kinda reminded me of the curry sauce they use for butter chicken. Regardless, it was one of my favorite chips and salsa. When purchasing the tacos, we realize they only take cash and that the prices were fairly cheap ($9 for 3 tacos and $3.25 for an individual quesadilla). Then after a short while we got all of our food which came with disassembled red cabbage and orange sauce and avocado. I devoured the three tacos and one quesadilla very quickly. I got the Baja tacos which come with shrimp, bacon, chorizo, and cheese. Any of the tacos would have been a good choice and I don't regret my choice. It was an excellent assortment of flavors and I felt satisfied after eating it yet still wanted to eat more. read more

Mixed review, ordered fish tacos and loved them. They have my favorite fish tacos. But I also ordered the surprise me Appetizer and to my surprise the shrimp from the aguachile wasn't cleaned... gross . That is a big no no for me. If you don't know how to clean shrimp proper, you shouldn't work at a seafood restaurant. read more

Little Shack - Seafood Near Me - El Paso, Texas

The food is great. A little pricey for the quantity of food they give but overall worth the price.

This place is such a little gem. I moved here from NY but have travelled to El Paso often. This is by far the best tacos around. There are a few other local joints that serve tacos however they all taste the same. Little Shack offers many different things from cocktails to tacos to appetizers. When I went I had the fish tacos. Amazing! The smoky chipotle sauce they give you is to die for. There is an avocado style sauce also that helps to add a mellow touch to the smoky and spicy flavors. Gosh was fresh and you can tell was hand battered, not something just defrosted and fried. I also had the oyster shots which I was hesitant not knowing what to expect from a place that sits in the middle of a strip mall parking lot. Well let me tell you, I was proved wrong. The Clamato sauce that the oyster sits in is delicious and the oyster was fresh. You get chips and dips complimentary which was nice. TIP- I learned that night that they do BYOB so you can bring beer with you to enjoy with your meal! How awesome is that? I would highly recommend this place. The staff was super friendly and not to mention easy on the eyes lol Go check them out. I believe they also have several locations read more

well. where do I start? The attitude with the server or the delayed food orders. We wasted too much time waiting for our food only to find that the AHI TUNA was cooked and made TERRIBLY. Upon requesting to be made another in the correct fashion, the server was rude and the cook refused to prepare the plate CORRECTLY. They truly behaved as if they were raised in a shack rather than have been hired for the sole purpose of giving the customer and enjoyable dining experience. Shameful as the name truly fits the gourmet experience. Nothing more than just a "shack" with street level etiquette and gross cooking habits. How they expected us to continue eating was not only insulting but appalling. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Profile/xn89?fid=bdb48c29-721e-434f-a086-e1a6716d9791 read more

I love it here... I'm really not much of a fish person so take that into consideration when reading my review... I normally come here or order out some fish soup, and let me tell you it's SO MUCH better than it sounds. The fish soup is super flavorful but be careful because it's is spicy!! But the fish is so tender is just breaks apart in your soup! It comes with veggies and a side of rice TRUST ME.... You need to try! When you first arrive you are served chips and salsa on arrival. Which happen to be super good. The salsa is the perfect amount of spicy and flavorful. Not to mention the tortilla chips are made in house fresh and tasty! The actual place is cute and cozy it's a great place to watch the soccer games too! It's a must try! read more

Growing up in California you would think that finding a great fish taco would be quite a chore in the Southwestern town of El Paso, Texas. I assure you it is not thanks to "The Little Shack". We now frequent this establishment often for their fish and shrimp tacos (mainly the fish). Although we have not tried anything else on the menu other than the fish/shrimp tacos and oyster shots, it is safe to say these are the best fish tacos we have ever had. Sorry California, you loose. Be sure to order the fish tacos with avocado and both sauces and don't forget the shaken tea! The only thing missing is the ocean view. Would give it five stars but sometimes the music is too loud. read more

Little Shack - Most excellent fish tacos! Don't forget the avocado! - Seafood Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Good fish tacos and an excellent cilantro salsa. Service is brisk and tacos come out hot. You have to pay $1.00 for one slice of avocado, which is way too expensive. Drinks are large and served with chips and salsa read more

Food wasn't bad, and the prices were very reasonable. My friend is in love with their shrimp tacos (which looked and probably tasted better than the the steak tacos I ordered). There was a good amount of steak in my tacos, and it was well seasoned. Unfortunately, the tortillas had a grainy texture and overall, I thought the tacos were dry. I enjoyed taking my pick of five different hot sauces in the table though. FYI: There are three flat screens that were playing espn college football the Saturday night I dined in. Sweet. I'm glad I checked out the little shack. Not sure when I'll be back.. but if I go, I'll try those shrimp tacos my friend raves about. read more

Little Shack - All gone , byob - Seafood Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Our financial adviser took us there. The fish tacos and salsas are great. I had a combination of shrimp, quesadilla , and fish tacos. The bacon wrapped jalapenos were great and tasty , nothing was too hot , IMHO. It is a small place and like a "shack" and you need to get there at an off time , otherwise wait. Never paid any attention to this place even though we have driven by hundreds of times. Certainly going to go back soon! read more

Great little place for lunch. Good portions and good price. We all got 3 single tacos to mix. The pork and pineapple was amazing. Soup was great too. Awesome sauces too. Loved the chipotle one. Good service too! Very quick! read more

Don't frequent the west side much but wanted a quick bite after a doctor's appointment. So glad we looked this place up and checked it out. We decided on this place mostly because of the price point. The food was great, service very nice, and the ambiance is cozy and quaint. I kept wanting to see a body of water nearby as a result of their theme decor. Oh, and don't leave without trying the flan. It's homemade and delish! So glad we tried it. Oh and did I mention you can bring your own beer too. read more

Very good!! Love the shrimp tacos and the green agua chiles are my favorite Excellent service!! read more

The reasoning behind this 1 star review is based on poor customer service. My SO and I went for lunch, ordered two shrimp tostadas and an order of little shack tacos with two iced teas. The tostadas never came. Even after inquiring about where they were, we were reassured they were on the way. They never came. The manager didn't even try to accommodate other than removing the tostadas from the bill. No apology from him whatsoever. The waitress tried to explain that there was "a new girl in the back". That excuse was as lame as their customer service. Never going back. Go somewhere else. Don't waste your money or your time with this place that has little regard for their customers. read more

This place has been my first bad review of any place I've ever eaten ! This restaurant has the RUDEST , most uneducated waitress that doesn't care about her employer, the image left by her mannerisms on her customers ! She doesn't take constructive criticism and she doesn't care how bad her BODY LANGUAGE advertises her unprofessional arrogance as a waitress. When a person doesn't like or love her job , she needs to reconsider or expect to be replaced ! NEVER EVER GOING TO THIS PLACE , the food doesn't make up for arrogance and mistreatment of customers ! read more

This restaurant literally looks like a little shack that popped up in a parking lot. The establishment is small with both inside and outside seating. It had the feel of a beachfront restaurant for some quick eats. We ordered a single order of all their tacos (except for the veggie taco) as well as the shrimp soup. The soup was steaming hot and well-flavored tasting like home-cooked comfort food with a decent amount of shrimp. The tacos had good flavor and came with a good helping of cabbage, lime, avocado, cilantro, and jalapeños on the side. If you aren't a fan of spicy food ask for the sauce on the side. For those that are, there's a good selection of hot sauce to chose from. The place is byob and they'll charge per drink you bring in but it's still cheaper than buying drinks at a restaurant. read more

I have them three stars for the food. The tacos are so good and filling. Sometimes just two tacos there and I'm stuffed! I'm a fan of their shrimp and fish tacos. Not that big of a selection on their drinks tho. this place can get too crowed cause it's small, but they do have TVs! There is no such thing as service with a smile there even if you try to make your server laugh. Sometimes they even forget you or so it feels that way. Even right when you walk, you get that vibe like "ugh customers" well sorry your food is so good, lucky I know how serving is so I'll still leave a tip. read more

I could eat here every day! Shrimp caldo is the best! Baja tacos are also one of my family's favorite. Good prices. BYOB is a plus.

If you think it's a bad idea to order fish/shrimp tacos in the middle of the desert at a place where the bathrooms are located outside of the restaurant.... you are correct! Don't waste your time here. The staff doesn't really want to serve you, so don't bother them. The food was pretty bad. Even a bowl of lemon wedges couldn't help. The fried fish was flavorless and the shrimp was tough and overcooked. Even the iced tea is terrible. If you are dragged into this place, order the steak tacos and leave your kids at home. We ordered the shrimp and fries for my four year old and it was awful (after that meal, my son doesn't trust me when I try to feed him). To be fair we had really high expectations and had just had really good shrimp tacos at another restaurant two days before. read more

This little shack is pack filled with large amount of flavorful dishes. Beginning with the oyster shots!! Yummy served with lime wedges and an array of chile sauces to spice up the already great tasting shot. My favorite is the cholula smokey flavor makes the oyster shot so very good. Had three shots! There is no alcohol served here, but you can bring your own and they are placed in a bucket with ice. I personally did not bring some beer, shucks! But next time for sure ! I enjoyed some little shack tacos in tortillas de Maiz soft and warm. Cabbage and avocado topped, two salsas accompany the plates, a chipotle based orange salsa and a creamy white avocado/ cilantro which was spicy and refreshing. Quaint little shack with smiling servers. If you don't bring your own beer, order the Te shekiado. read more

I frequent this spot for lunch, and I always leave satisfied. The place looks exactly as the name suggests, it's a little shack with a cool vibe. I've only tried the tacos (fish tacos, little shack tacos, and steak tacos), so I can't speak to anything else, but the tacos are always great. My favorite are the little shack tacos which are basically small shrimp quesadilla's. Service can be hit and miss. I've never had horrible service or long wait times, but on more than one visit, my waiter (same waiter both times) offered to refill my drink but never brought it back. It's worth noting, this is a BYOB establishment that charges for setups. So if you plan to have a beer or wine with your meal you need to bring your own. read more
