    Asian BBQ Beef @ The Mix Express
    Andrew F.

    It took a lot for me to even drop ONE STAR on this place! (but I think 1 ISA mandatory minimum) In one word, SUCKED. The service was friendly and helpful but it ended there. I'm just gonna list what sucked. (I'm sitting in the restaurant right now. -ambience was cheesy and faked. Literally EVERY picture on the wall is crooked (as if the food won't get you naseous enough) -prices SEEMED okay for lunch, until I got my food. -iced tea was good. But they hardly put any ice in it. -service was friendly, and about average wait time (they forgot my eggroll- then gave me a springroll- where's the beef?) Hearing the clanging of a wok getting a workout I was excited to see what the chef...errr cook...errr kid was gonna make me. My plate came out and it was Luke warm; I actually would've prefered it cold now that I ate it. The entree was literally, literally, literally what you might expect if you ordered lunch at the office on Friday, didn't get a chance to eat it so you stuffed it in the break room fridge. Then on Tuesday, yep, Tuesday you go into the break room, open the fridge looking to steal a co-workers tuna sandwich and you spot your little styrofoam treasure still in there! Sooo, you crack it open for a whiff; smells ok, so you put it in the micro for 3 minutes and go to the coke machine. Well, it's out of order so you actually go to the machine on the other side of the building. When you get there, you accidently knock over a big barrel of marbles. (I guess you're in the marble business). Well, about an hour later you finish cleaning them up and head back to the break room. When you get there your styrofoam container is melted! You accidently put it in for 13 minutes!! But it's had an hour to cool down. ok, now take a bite- yep, that's the lunch I just got jacked for at The Mix Express!!! the veggies were discolored & soggy/super soft. The rice was bloated and soft and saltier than it should've been. The beef was tender, but that's because it's been marinating in nuclear soy sauce for a week. The sauce on top was horrid, the wrong texture/color and generally gross. the entire lunch made me sick. I have the taste STUCK in my mouth still 20 mins later. I'm going back for a refill of my tea- if they say, "no refill"! I will seriously start rearranging their seating chart....hmmmm, maybe somebody already tossed the place- and they haven't gotten around to straightening the pictures on the wall! Will I be back? Yes, if I need to use the john and every toilet in the city is closed!!

    Beef yakisoba so very yummy

    Just passing through Las Cruces for the night on our way to Phoenix. We were exhausted & had drove…read more500 miles this day already so the last thing we wanted to do was get out & go eat at a busy restaurant. The desk ladies at our hotel gave us some delivery menus and we chose bowl to go. The first two times I called it rang for ages & no one answered but I later found out their computer systems had gone down. I was positive we weren't ordering pizza so I tried again & got an answer. I ordered the Teriyaki garlic shrimp, teriyaki noodle side & a Dr. Pepper. They said it would be just shy of $15, pretty reasonable for the amount of food they sent & it arrived after only 20 minutes! The Teriyaki noodles were amazing!!!!! Whatever they had in their teriyaki sauce I would love to know it was a bit sweet, nothing like a store bottle of teriyaki sauce. When I opened my teriyaki garlic shrimp & fried rice it was full of veggies which I had ordered to leave out. I called the restaurant back & asked if they had sent someone else's order and they apologized and had a new one out to me in ten minutes. They threw in some soup & a spring roll because of the mess up which was very kind. They didn't have to do that. The teriyaki garlic shrimp didn't taste like teriyaki or garlic but I love shrimp so I didn't care. The fried rice was good, a different flavor than your typical Chinese buffet, it was sweet, whatever sauce they're using they should bottle it because it's wonderfu. All in all I was extremely full & satisfied. Great little place.

Don't make the same mistake that I made and think that suffering for at least a day in terrible pain is worth only spending a few bucks on lunch. There food quality is clearly really bad. The chicken comes out in perfect cubes...tell me that isn't odd. They were out of half of their soft drinks, too. I had to pour lots of soy sauce on my food to make it even slightly tasty. Maybe they have improved over the last couple of months, but I just thought there needed to be an honest review up here.

    Spectacular mom and pop style restaurant. Was very exciting to meet the chef after eating…read more This was likely the best Korean food I've ever had. Everything was super tasty highly highly recommend the kimchi pancake. Flavor was spectacular and perfectly crispy/crunchy. The squid entree was very tasty too just a little too many peppers for me. Would get again if I didn't want to try other things. Value is really great for how much food I got. Yes we really over ordered (2 apps 2 entrees for 2 people) but still all the plates were big. Perhaps only downside is that the dining area is pretty small. I would expect them to outgrow their little storefront quickly. I'd come back next time I travel to El Paso.

    Im in town for a concert and decided to try this Korean place. The place is extremely small. I know…read morethis is not their fault but at least when I was there it was packed and people were standing outside, I do think they could have a bigger space at least one with more than just 4 tables. It was a bit uncomfortable with how loud it was and sitting next to strangers not being able to have a comfortable conversation with the person in front of you. The food was really good! I enjoyed the tteokbokki so much and I feel like as simple as this dish is, a lot of places sometimes miss. Again I know it isn't their fault maybe the day I came in it was really busy and maybe it's not that busy usually but I would have liked to be in a bigger space.

    Only been in El Paso for about a month now and I believe I found my go to spot for authentic Korean…read morefood. Let me start off by saying that the kind lady who I believe is one of the owners was so nice. She reminded me of my own grandmother serving me food with love back then. The food was also delicious and fresh!!!!! Banchan (Korean sides) were so tasty that I asked for more. We got the kimchi jigae, bulgogi plate, and mandu. AMAZING!!!!!!

    Cafe Korea's New Far East Location: Great Food, But Some Growing Pains…read more Cafe Korea has officially reopened at 1452 N Zaragoza Rd Unit A-900, and as someone who missed their Northeast location, I was excited to visit. The space is larger, parking is easier, and the menu still features those comforting Korean staples--but there are some definite hiccups that need attention. First impressions: each table comes equipped with a portable butane grill, which is impressive considering the cost to run them. But while the grills worked well, the ventilation is poor--expect to leave smelling like smoke, and brace yourself for the heat. The restaurant was already uncomfortably warm, and with summer just starting, that's going to be a serious issue for both diners and staff. Service was, unfortunately, disorganized and inconsistent. While the staff were friendly, they seemed overwhelmed and underprepared. There didn't appear to be table assignments, and we often had to wave someone down for water or more banchan. At one point, I saw groceries being brought in through the back--suggesting that even the kitchen operation might be scrambling behind the scenes. Now, to the food--still the highlight. The banchan was delicious and clearly homemade, and once we got a refill, they were generous with portions. The meat quality was excellent, and we were able to share a BBQ set among two adults and two kids and still leave satisfied. But the price point? High. Our modest lunch totaled around $60, including charges for water. A friend who went earlier in the week paid $70 for a seafood pancake and galbi--for one person. With Gen Korean BBQ opening nearby offering all-you-can-eat options, and other local Korean spots like Tommy's Express and Garlic 1% serving equally fresh meals at lower prices, it's fair to question how sustainable this model is. Final Take: Cafe Korea still delivers on flavor, but the overall experience is rough around the edges. Between high prices, spotty service, and a sweltering dining room, it's hard to fully enjoy the meal. I want them to succeed--but to compete in today's Eastside food scene, they'll need to iron out the basics fast.

My wife and I ordered the chicken dumplings and two of the bento boxes (teriyaki). Everything was delicious and well prepared. The lunch bento box had your choice of meat, California roll, 2 dumplings, spring egg roll and your choice of rice for $12.95. The teriyaki chicken was delicious with a good overall sauce. Flavorful and left us wanting more. The sushi was refreshingly good and the rice was a perfectly prepared. Our waiter was very friendly easy going and very good. A definite must when visiting or staying in Las Cruces NM. We will visit again in the future.

    Another place with dull, ok food. You don't need msg to make food tasty, but what you do need is…read moreSPICES. Herbs and spices. Why don't locals know this. So the food seems "clean" - no msg or other junk added. However, it was virtually tasteless. I mean, c'mon, add some garlic, onion, ginger, chile,... there're hundreds of options to add flavor. So yeah, food was bland. First time I got the chicken katsu bowl. The chicken was a bit bland, like the chicken itself had zero seasoning, not marinated for flavor, nothing. The breading was ok. Tempura was ok. Second time, I got Sweet and Sour Pork Soba. It wasn't breaded like most places, and that was ok, because I am Keto. But,... I was also a bit glad that there wasn't a lot of sauce, which is usually sugary elsewhere. However, the sauce in hand, was just like water with a little bit of redish something or other. Sweet and Sour is literally sugar (or SOMETHING sweet, like, perhaps, pineapple... ) and vinegar. This was a bowl of Soba with ten, maybe, 1/2" square chunks of tasteless pork, and 2 TB of cabbage. Bland. Unspiced. Boring. Would I eat there again? Probably not. Unless I was more in the mood for "clean" food, then tasty food. It IS possible to do both!
