    Best food I've ever had! So unique and authentic. Didn't need dinner after this sandwich meal.

    Best food I've ever had! So unique and authentic. I had the Cuban sandwich it was so good! Didn't need dinner after this lunch!

    Ok, so again, huge huge disclaimer towards being a sandwich person. But these high quality, highly authentic, highly addicting cuban sammiches from this mom n pop shop??? I am now Guilty as charged for sandwiches! So I have tried a cubano here and there from other restaurants that just happen to have cubanos available. They were good too, but i was definitely not aware of HOW good real cubanos could be! This place schooled me big time! I have tried their classic cuban sandwich and eventually was enticed by their sandwich de pernil because it consisted of onions and peppers which i LOVE. And without fail, i will always order their tostones as a side rather than fries or anything else. I am hands down BANANAS for tostones! XD lol and they make them flawlessly. Every. Single. Time. Sadly i was not as huge a fan for the pernil but it was still absolutely delicious! As for their classic cuban, i am absolutely obsessed! Their slow cooked pork is Heaven on Earth. The seasonings are savory yet not overwhelming. I also love how they add chunks of the meat rather than slices, which allow a better dose of these flavor bombs! I think what has me sold as a sammy person for this place the most is just how much food you get in a $$9 plate. They know how to feed a girl!!! Especially me! Keep in mind though that they seem to compensate for their limited business hours with their magical products. They close by 6PM so scurry! This is as good as cuban gets kids! You won't regret ordering anything here! their pastillos are also amaze balls! whether its sweet with guava and cream cheese or savory with beef, GET IT!

    El Paso never ceases to amaze me with the random, hole-in-the-wall places and the quality that these places bring. Ambiance - Nothing special, but the nice decor with a nod to Puerto Rico was nice to see. Service - You order at the register, but you're not expected to pay yet. You're able to grab any drinks you like during your meal and then you can pay for everything at the very end. The ladies who work there were so friendly and helpful especially since it was my first time! They seemed to be having fun while working too which was refreshing to see. Food - Had the Cuban and Philly Cheesesteak with the tostones. Philly Cheesesteak was average but the cuban was delicious! Warmly pressed and just hit all the right spots. The tostones were great as well. The portions are huge so be prepared when you figure out whether to get the small, medium, or large. Overall, what a little gem that I wish more people knew about. Great food, great portions, great prices. Will definitely be back!

    Love this little place. Not only do they serve authentic Puerto Rican/Cuban food but they're service is wonderful. Love their Cubano sandwich. My mouth is watering just thinking of it. Hot and crispy on outside and filled with meats and cheese on inside. Yum!

    Pastelillos de Guava was out of this world

    I want to give this place 8 star honestly. Came in at noon after finding them on yelp and happen to be in the area. Came in and let me tell you that the two ladies that work here are amazing! They will make you feel like you matter as a customer. Their food could be horrible and I'll still come because of them. Their food however is far from horrible. After speaking with them for a bit, I decided on the Cuban Sandwich with Tostones, a side of their rice and a Guayaba(Guava) empanada. The Sandwich alone weighs like 5 pounds. It was so big and packed that I could honestly eat half. And I'm a big guy! The tostones and sauce were on point. The sandwich was spot on with the pulled pork and flavors. My only thing I wished I wound have asked to not get was butter on the bread. That's just me, I don't like butter. The Empanada was out of this world. The cream cheese and guava was silky and smooth! Now let's talk a about the rice. The rice here is the hidden gem no one talks about. That rice was absolutely out of this world! I could come here just for the rice. I mean everything here was delicious . But this rice I would come for just that.

    6" cubano with tostones

    Glad I found this little spot. The Cuban was really good. Great balance of flavor. Had generous amount of pork. Ordered the 6" with tostones and a coconut sparkling soda. Was super filling.

    Cuban sandwich- small!!!
    Marie G.

    Oh yeah! Puerto Rican food here in El Paso! I came here with my gal pal prior to going to the outlet mall (the plan was we were going to walk off lunch). The plan worked great and the food did not disappoint! We each had a SMALL Cuban sandwich- let me tell you it was larger than anticipated- I cannot imagine what the large sandwich is like. We also had the empanadas and they were fried to a crispy tasty goodness...I am thinking about them right now! As I bit into the empanada, the authenticity of the flavor took me back to New York; it was delicious. They did not have main food items like rice and beans, etc but the sandwiches are perfect.

    The best Cuban sandwich in the El Paso/Las Cruces area. If your aching for a good Empanadilla or Sandwich de Pernil, then Maracas is the best place. Remember Tripletas from La Marginal that later spread throughout Puerto Rico. Well the closest you will find in this part of the USA is at Maracas.Like Alcapurrias? Maracas ha them most of the time. Let's talk breakfast sandwiches Puerto Rico "panadería" style. Come and get them at Maracas. Jamón, queso y huevo. Maracas is a gem in El Paso.

    I dropped in on Maracas for the first time the other day, and ordered 3 medium sandwich. There were a few people in the restaurant but it wasn't too busy. The restaurant was clean and there was plenty of seating available with most of the tables seating two. The two employees working that day were very friendly and helpful with making menu selections. The three sandwiches took a little while to make; more than you might expect if you're used to purchasing Subway sandwiches. However, if you are accustomed to eating Subway sandwiches, you will be left in awe of the quality of these sandwiches. The Cuban Sandwich, Hot Beef Pastrami, and Philly CheeseStake sandwiches we ordered were excellent! The flavor of each was extraordinary and the size of the medium sandwich, approximately 9 inches, was ample. I would recommend any of the three sandwiches we ordered, but the Cuban Sandwich was our favorite. With our purchase we got two orders of French fries and one order of Tostones. Now, I had to ask, so I'll tell you just in case you don't know. Tostones are smashed and fried plantains. They were really good and came paired with a dipping sauce that complimented it nicely. This was a fan favorite of my daughter. The French fries were plentiful but nothing extraordinary, and I'd probably stick with the Tostones in the future. There was a drink cooler that had cans of Coke products, Dr Pepper and a selection of foreign drinks and sodas. If you are a fan of great food, and sandwiches in particular, give Maracas a try. You won't be disappointed with the decision.

    Quite possibly the best Cuban sandwich I have ever tasted. The prices are crazy too. Huge portions and perfect food. The place is simple, but spotless. Staff was friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to go back!

Inside theres couches, tables, bar tops, and lots of outlets if you want to get some work done. Outside is bright, open, and honestly super cute. They import their coffee beans straight from PR, so you know you're getting the real deal. Service was on the slower side, but hey... good things take time.

When we first pulled up, there were only two cars in the parking lot, so we assumed it was pretty empty inside. It was. There were about 4 people in there. No one checked our ID, or greeted us. The interior was nice and modern looking. The bartender (possibly manager?) approached us and asked if we wanted anything to drink. We didn't, not right away. We just wanted to check it out. As my girl and I sat on the couch for about 5-10 minutes, the bartender came back and told us "You guys can't just sit there. If you're not going to get anything to drink, I'm going to have to ask you guys to leave." So, we left. Not to mention, my girlfriend was working on setting up the app they had, so she could play music requests. But, the bartender just approached us in a rude manner and was pretty straightforward that if you don't pay to buy something to drink, you're gonna get kicked out. So, just keep that in mind guys. We then went to La Mina Bar & Night Club - and they were so much more friendly; didn't force you to buy a drink, either!

But it just opened 3 months ago so we wanted to give it a try. We were chillin and then I'm guessing the guy that owns the club/bar or the manager was like "since you guys aren't buying drinks, I'm going to have to kick you out. You guys can't just sit here." I was baffled. We had just got there like literally for 5 minutes. I've never been kicked out of a bar before for not buying drinks. I just said "okay" and we walked out. I didn't know how to respond or react. We went to another club/bar called La Mina Bar and Night Club. Before we sat down I asked the bartender if he'd kick us out if we didn't order drinks and he said no. I've been to other clubs and even when i didn't buy drinks they never kicked me out. By the way highly recommend La Mina Bar and Night club. The music was amazing and everyone was nice. So keep in mind that in order for you to say at Latin Quarters New York, you have to purchase a beverage or they'll kick you out. Do not recommend Latin Quarters New York.
