    Love the new location! Wowsers! Were thrilled to have Mi Piaci so much closer to home! Finally opened and we stopped by. We asked if they still offered the Southern Jimmy and the bartender casually answered "I invented it." Score!! Amazing drinks. Took pictures of all the food. Everything was absolutely delicious! cant wait to come back! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Love the new location and great service and yummy food! We plan to be here often!

    Located in a vibrant corner of El Paso, "Mi Piaci invites you to a sophisticated taste of Italian food. The restaurante Italiano blends contemporary design with a soft lit ambiance and romantic old-European charm. The new location is much closer to my home; so that is definitely and selfishly a big plus. Facing Franklin High School, this is a trattoria style restaurant that is welcoming you with a large inviting bar. An open dining room with intimate nooks and comfortable leather bench. Some of the menu highlights include some classical pasta dishes like Lasagna al Forno; Spaghetti Bolognese. Fettuccine Alfredo and Cacio di Pepe. The service was friendly but unfortunately our waitress could barely speak as she had a cold - this is unfortunately this time of the year. The Bruschetta bread was way too oily and too thin for my taste. The chef ought to use French baguettes rubbed with garlic that is my humble opinion. The gnocchi were also slightly too tough. So not everything was up to the hype. This said, my Bolognese meat balls and tomatoes sauce were excellent. The staff is young and engaged and the owner-chef kindly visits each table to make sure that everything was up to expectations. So there is definitely a private and charming touch at Mj Piaci. Pasta are a on the expensive side $25-28 per dish. So this is more a place for special occasions.

    I made reservations for Valentine's Day for my girlfriend and I this year and since I am from out of town, I wanted to surprise her with a place that served really good food and felt romantic. After doing some research, I stumbled upon Mi Piaci online and saw how many people praised it. Let me just say, IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!! The menu was exclusive, due to the holiday, but the restaurant communicated that effectively via email and even calling me personally to warn me. We came out STUFFED!!! Portions were generous, the service was exemplary. We were treated like royalty! My girlfriend loved the food and the Valentine's Day decorations. It was an intimate spot and whenever I am back in town, I would definitely return here! Thank you to all the Mi Piaci staff for making our day so special and for the great attention you gave us.

    The food service, ambiance and food was very good however, all of a sudden in the middle of our dinner there was a poignant unpleasant aroma like a sewer issue that just engulfed the entire restaurant and none of the servers said a word. Also, this restaurant has a Yelp offer for a free Bruschetta appetizer with the purchase of 2 dinners and it was NOT Honored - the excuse I was given was that it was available only during the pandemic and no longer valid because they couldn't get it off of the Yelp page! WOW! Bad business...our total tab plus gratuity was $225.00 - might just skip this place the next time around....good luck!

    Stopped here for a late lunch. We had Carbonara, Veal and some desert- tiramisu and lava cake. The staff was very polite and welcoming. They were able to do a small portion for my son. However my pasta was a bit too salty and the veal was lacking some flavor. That being said this is the best Italian here in El Paso. Do not go with this to Italy but with what is available in the area this is by far best Italian, best ambience for Italian and top notch service.

Julius mentioned that he has worked at Cattleman's for five years, and I really appreciate seeing a business that retains its employees. Hopefully that's a reflection of how well they treat their staff, because the service we received was outstanding. Employees like Adalia and Julius are what truly make a restaurant memorable. The food was just as impressive as the service. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, and Julius recommended ordering the herbed butter and the Tampiqueña topping on the side. I am so grateful he suggested that because it was absolutely delicious and the perfect complement to the steak. He also helped several people in our group choose their meals, and every single recommendation was spot on. I honestly don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu, but I also don't think I would have enjoyed my meal nearly as much without his thoughtful suggestions. Every side dish was excellent, from the baked potatoes, corn, beans, coleslaw, and fresh bread to the incredible desserts that finished off the meal perfectly. Beyond the amazing food and exceptional service, we loved the atmosphere of the ranch. The views were beautiful, I had a blast feeding the animals, and seeing the film history added such a unique touch to the experience. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience in every way. Great food, outstanding service, beautiful surroundings, and a fun atmosphere. If you're visiting the area, Cattleman's is an absolute must-visit!

As we were seated our waiter took 10 min to great us and then another 12 min to bring our drinks. I didn't think anything of it yet it was a precursor to the rest of our dinner. After he took our order our kids food came out in a very timely fashion but our two orders of salmon and one steak sandwich took 40 min to arrive at the table. What a ridiculous waste of my time because my sandwich was missing the fries ordered and our waiter thought nothing of it till I brought it up then he took another 10 min to bring my fries. All this while simultaneously forgetting the sauce for the salmon which also took another 10 min to bring out. The salmon was so dry it was tacky and stuck to your teeth. If you know the feeling you know it's bad. The rice that came underneath the salmon was crunchy and way undercooked. All while the waiter was like oh I can bring you free deserts for your wait all while I could only think about how I just wanted to leave. I was internally livid and exhausted but kept it to my self after seeing the owner or manager who we the guy with the white hair over at the bar enjoying a few alcoholic beverages meanwhile his restaurants service and waitstaff to the worst possible job they can. I saw the people who got the most attention and good service were all regulars sitting at the bar laughing it up with the manager/owner older guy. Why not make sure your restaurant is running smoothly and food is being delivered and prepared properly and stop trying to impress the regulars who most likely will show up either way. Any restaurant that is this unorganized and unmotivated is due to crappy management. All this and the waiter is like I'll comp you for the steak sandwich with a discount for the bad service and salmon which was a whopping $5. I don't want a discount I don't want free day old desserts I want good service and decent food. Discounts and free desserts will never fix the problem because it will always be a crutch for trashy customer service. How about stop drinking with the guests and whoop that staff into semi decent shape buy some high chairs and make sure your expo does a once over quality check on the food and time it takes to get to the table EVEN if that means stepping in and doing it yourself. The restaurant is dark the tables are sticky the whole place is very compact . Perfect and quite attractive after 5-6 wines for sure. I'm sure the food is outstanding after a few drinks as well . They gave us a $25 dollar gift card to return which if I could I'd give to the owner so he could experience the same horrible food and service we did. I wouldn't even give the gift card to someone I hated. This was one of the first times in a long time I didn't just let it slide because I understand all restaurants and people have bad days but this was exceptionally bad. If you are thinking it can't be that bad think again it absolutely can. The whole "I'm sorry we usually have awesome service and everyone loves our food it's probably just me and my family " is laughable . This isn't my first time here while visiting El Paso. The food is getting worse.

Two of our orders of steaks were ordered as medium-rare, and our steaks were dry AF. I told the waitress that we wanted a new steak, and she brought back the steak while flashing a flashlight over it to defend her cook, saying it is medium-rare and to look at it again. Never have I ever experienced a flashlight being used over our food to prove a non-valid point. At this point, I was so freakin hungry that I did not want to argue, and so I ate the dry steak. Do yourself a favor and take a drive to Victoria's Steakhouse. We were there a couple of days prior to visiting this restaurant and they have the perfect medium rare steak!

    Casa Pantera is definitely one of the cooler spots we've tried in El Paso so far. The vibe alone is…read moreworth going for kind of a dim, moody, tiki-room feel and a really nice atmosphere. It felt like a place you'd want to hang out for a while. Definitely make a reservation because it fills up quickly. Service was a little slow at times, but our server was super friendly and helpful with recommendations, so it didn't take away too much from the experience. The bone marrow was AMAZING!! Easily one of the highlights of the night. We also ordered the Delmonico with bone marrow butter, which was cooked well and really flavorful. Drinks were great too and very well balanced. Overall, this place is a solid 4 stars, pushing 5. Great atmosphere, good drinks and some really standout dishes.

    I must start this review with compliments to the chef. Each dish was cooked to perfection, I…read moreordered the duck mole and it was fantastic. The concept is brilliant, Mexican and American flavors elevated. The boutique hotel is beautiful, a reminder to future diners to look up as they have flowy lights that go up and down (mesmerizing). I really looked forward to this place and wanted to like it but the service just dimmed the meal. We went for a graduation celebration and did not feel that. I do acknowledge that we show up quite late since the graduation ended late. We placed our orders right before the kitchen closed. Throughout the meal, we were not offered extra bread, a dessert menu, or even a mere "Congratulations" from our server. A kind gentleman who seemed like the chef did come to check on the food and congratulate us. He seemed to actually care about the guests. I would love to come back to see if the service improves because the cooking deserves 5 stars here.

    We came to Taft Diaz after seeing some really good reviews and were honestly pretty excited to try…read moreit. Walking in, there was a cool flower art installation hanging over the tables, which was a really unique touch and probably one of the more memorable parts of the space. That said, the overall vibe felt a little bland and didn't quite match the hype we were expecting. Food-wise, the experience was a bit mixed. We ordered a ribeye, but it unfortunately came out pretty cold. We let our server know and he did take it back so the kitchen could warm it up, which we appreciated. The table bread that came out was also on the dry side and not very impressive. The spicy margarita ended up being one of the better parts of the meal. It wasn't actually on the menu, but they made one for us and it was really good. We also ordered fries, which were solid, and the bone marrow (called "Mexican butter") was easily the highlight! It sauce that it came with! 10/10 It was rich, flavorful, and definitely the best thing we tried. ‼One quick heads-up for anyone visiting: there's a nail sticking out of the handrail going down the stairs to the bathroom, so just be careful grabbing the railing on the way down.‼ Overall, there were a couple good items, but the experience felt a little underwhelming compared to the expectations from the reviews. Maybe it was just an off night.
