    Storefront - How ' bout 'em
    Ino R.

    Cozy diner experience, with the theme of America's Team. Cowboys aside, Martha's a nice place for breakfast. The coffee is hot, and refills are aplenty. There was a lot of things to try, but I went with the special. Ham and Scrambled eggs, beans, hash, and choice if toast, corn or flour tortillas. It was good. Nothing difficult, just what you ordered. I'd prob try th chilaquiles next time. The diner is quiet at 7am, but it was filling up as we finished. The service was great from the moment I stepped in. Recommended. Solid diner.

    Martha's Cafe is a gem in downtown. The prices are excellent and the food is even better. The service was great, they were very polite and attentive. Definitely recommend for a great meal and unbeatable prices. I'm very picky about my eggs, and these were the best truly over medium eggs I've ever had from a restaurant.

    Chorizo breakfast plate with hash browns, beans, flour tortilla. Delicious, quick, and inexpensive.

    Great breakfast. So great, I came back the next day. Service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious. I got the migas the first day, and two burritos the second day. One burrito was machaca con huevo and the other was potato egg and bacon. I left satisfied both days. I'll be back next time I'm in town. Go Cowboys!

    Martha's cafe is a cozy, home cooked food, no frills, spot. At 7am they had a steady stream of customers. The staff were friendly and service was fast. I ordered the chorizo breakfast plate for $7.99. I'll be back to try their lunch/dinner plates. On another note, I was pleasantly surprised by how they warmly treated a customer who appeared to be homeless; ith respect and no differently than other paying customers.

    Juevos Rancheros

    Was in El Paso for a concert. The day we were leaving we didn't want to pay $60 for breakfast at the hotel or the airport. Yelp led me to Martha's Cafe. I am a huge Cowboys fan so of course I was at home. We were greeted with a smile, the food came out very quickly and was super delicious. I had the juevos rancheros. Wow. Everyone seemed very nice and had a family vibe. Highly recommend!

    Flour Tortillas

    Wow. Great place for breakfast. Staff is very friendly and the food was outstanding. From the tortillas to the hot sauce. Everything was just amazingly good.

    Cowboys stuff galore
    Pete B.

    Service was quick and super friendly. The place is inundated with Dallas Cowboys memorabilia and decor, inside and out. At least there were a couple UTEP items buried amongst the Cowboys stuff. The Huevos Rancheros were bland and had no spice or kick. The beans were runny and the hash browns were meh. The portion wasn't all that filling. Was disappointed in the taste of the food and the portion size after reading all the fantastic reviews on here. I guess it's worth a look if you're wanting to see all the Cowboys crap. But even with the super friendly service, it's not on my list of any places to return to in the near future. This is the kind of food I would expect to receive in Dallas, not El Paso.

    Flautas

    I had the flautas for lunch. They were terrific. Service was great. Price was extremely fair. I will be back for their breakfast

While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

About 8 large chile toreados, grilled onions.and plenty of corn tortillas. The charro beans were mostly bean soup. I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.

Looking back, El Cometa is what started my taco obsession. Their tacos al pastor con queso are so good. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned, a little greasy in the best way, and topped with melted cheese. One thing I love is their salsa bar. I always grab the red salsa, green salsa, and guacamole. I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible. Last summer, the hostess recognized me right away and seated me immediately. She even remembered my order. I order the exact same thing every visit: tacos and two cans of Sprite. The fact that she has been there since I first started coming in 2019 makes every visit feel like coming home. From 2019 until I moved away in 2022, I went there almost every week. To eat here, everyone lines up at the cashier to place an order, but somehow I always felt like royalty. The staff knew me, and every visit felt welcoming. El Cometa never disappoints. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and every visit reminds me why I fell in love with tacos in the first place.
