    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.

    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!

    Truly authentic food! A quiet and cozy little place. The wait staff were professional and polite.

    Chorizo Breakfast Plate with beans, hash browns and fresh tortilla)

    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.

    Food was delicious. Excellent and friendly service. The staff are very nice and attentive. Good ambiance and relaxing. Will definitely come back !

    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.

    Friendly, quick service. I'm a sucker for chilaquiles and these did not disappoint! I'm also a Cowboys fan, so the ambiance was perfect.

    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.

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

My friend had the mole item and felt it was way too sweet/cocoa on it. Overall I would've wanted to try the other machaca items and other things.

I had just flown in from the airport, and my brother arranged it as a special family gathering. Everything started normally: we were seated, ordered our food, received our drinks, and enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Then my sister (who is LGBTQ+) stepped away to use the restroom. When she returned and sat down, a manager approached our table and loudly told her--in front of other diners--that "MEN cannot use the female restroom." My sister was mortified and humiliated by the public confrontation. The manager's tone and assumption were shocking and clearly discriminatory. We immediately got up and left without eating. This wasn't about enforcing any legitimate policy; it was rude, insensitive, and targeted. My adult sister is perfectly capable of reading the restroom signs herself--no one needed to police or shame her in such a way. The incident felt rooted in homophobia and transphobia from management. We will never return to this place, and we will actively discourage others--especially LGBTQ+ individuals and allies--from patronizing it. What should have been a joyful family milestone was ruined by bigotry. Avoid this establishment if you value respect and inclusivity.

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.

I bumped it up to four stars for the super friendly service and the excellent aguas frescas. We got there late, about an hour before closing and they were literally trying to get rid of the aguas for free. I guess they have to dump it if they don't use it all. It was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Portion sizes are good. The taco platter comes with six tacos! I had the flautas Chinampa which came with four beef flautas, beans, rice, and salad. I forgot, the taco platter even came with a baked potato. Prices were excellent. We had gone to McDonald's in the morning and spent more. They also cave us frijoles charros for free. Not sure if this was standard or if they were also trying to get rid of it. I would return for the service and the convenience, but if you're looking for life changing Mexican cuisine, it's not here. What you get is a good amount of decent food at a good price served by great people.

Had multiple thousand Google reviews and they were all close to five stars. So I knew I had to check it out. It was super close to my hotel, so I popped in the car and found it without trouble. Trouble. Again, there is pretty limited parking so it's kind of hit and miss whether you'll find a spot or not. Fortunately, I did. When you walk up to the place, the building itself is pretty nondescript. They have a nice selection of outside seating, and your window to order is outside. Very nice lady at the counter gave me helpful suggestions and so I ordered three tacos and an amazing lime and cucumber fresca. Went in and sat down inside and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It definitely had more of an upscale bar vibe to it than a Taco shop. The waiter that brought out my tacos told me that it turns into more of a nightclub after hours. I may have to go check that out. The tacos themselves were absolutely off the chain! The tortillas were blue corn and everything on it tasted so fresh and so wonderful. The carnitas was fantastic, the brisket Taco was to die for and the blackened shrimp Taco was one of the best I've ever had. Had. The flavors were so balanced and on point, it was one of the most satisfying taco experiences I have had!! I will probably hit this place up a couple more times before I leave El Paso. If you are in El Paso, you probably already know about this place. But I'm telling you what you cannot go wrong for tacos and that lime/ cucumber fresca! Bottom line? It's about 10 hours drive from Las Vegas to El Paso. And this Taco shop will give me a great reason to do a road trip anytime. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out!
