If you're looking for a brunch spot in El Paso that brings together great food, genuine…read morehospitality, and live music--The Junction Brunch House is a standout. I kept it classic with waffles, bacon, and eggs--and it absolutely hit the mark. The waffles were light, fluffy, and perfectly golden, the bacon was cooked just right, and everything came out fresh and satisfying. Simple comfort food done right. But what really elevated the experience was the atmosphere. They had live musical entertainment by Louie, who was incredible. He played a mix of hits from yesterday and today, moving effortlessly between country & western, contemporary favorites, and traditional Spanish songs. His versatility created a warm, lively environment that both staff and customers clearly enjoyed--it added something special you don't find everywhere. Service was just as impressive. Our server, XAY, had a bright, welcoming smile and provided outstanding service from start to finish. They offered great suggestions on local favorites and specials, which made the experience feel personal rather than routine. The vibe overall is relaxed, inviting, and very "El Paso"--a place where you can sit, enjoy your meal, and stay a while. Overall: Delicious, well-executed brunch classics Live music that enhances the experience (not overwhelms it) Exceptional, friendly service Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere Would I go back? Without a doubt. This is more than just brunch--it's an experience.

On my way out of El Paso, which incidentally was the day the Feds shutdown the air space around the…read morecity, ended up giving me an opportunity for one last time to try another local eatery. I went in for brunch, and one place that absolutely deserves a visit is The Junction Brunch House. The restaurant is set inside a literal house, which gives it a cozy, welcoming feel from the moment you walk in. The service is warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. As for the food? Ay Dios mio! Outstanding. I ordered Big T's Texas Breakfast: two eggs any style, bacon, and pancakes or French toast. I chose scrambled eggs and pancakes. The presentation was impressive, looking more like something you'd expect at a high-end hotel restaurant. The eggs were folded neatly, omelet-style, into a triangle and cooked perfectly--flavorful and fluffy. The bacon was crispy yet juicy, just right. The pancakes were a four-stack, light and fluffy with a beautiful griddle finish. They came with butter mixed with brown sugar and cinnamon, and a side of and maple syrup, which took them to another level. Junction has locally made hot sauce on the table, and fair warning as both packed some serious heat and paired perfectly with the eggs. What really stood out was the attentive service. The staff checked in regularly, made sure I had everything I needed, and seemed to refill my coffee right on cue. While brunch alone makes it worth the trip, the menu offers much more than breakfast. I'm already looking forward to going back to try their lunch options. If you're in El Paso and craving a comfortable atmosphere with excellent food and service, this is a spot you shouldn't miss.

The food was absolutely amazing -- everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. You could tell a lot of care went into both the menu and presentation. What really stood out, though, was how attentive and genuinely kind our server was throughout the evening. Even with how busy El Paso was that weekend, we never felt rushed or overlooked. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and it ended up being one of our favorite dining experiences of the trip. If I return to El Paso in the future, Neighbor Good Kitchen & Bar will definitely be on my list of places to visit again.

Wow! What a cool spot - how had we not heard about it prior!…read more Dropped in for a Sunday lunch - fair warning, this place is popular and you'll probably need to wait a bit for a table. Walking in to the older building near Five Points that has been turned into a beautiful location, you feel the energy right away with the music and hustle. Menu options are wide ranging. We ordered everything from simple (but tasty) cheeseburger & fries, to adult chicken strips (also tasty), spicy chicken sandwiches (delicious), pasta, chilaquiles and more! They have a shareable cinnamon roll on the menu that is only available until they run out and unfortunately we were too late for that so next time. Good service, fun scene, delicious food - can't wait to come back again!

We were in town for the weekend and decided to give this place a try. We didn't seek it out by…read morename, but since we were already in the area, Yelp pointed us in the right direction--and I'm glad it did. There is paid parking available; it's under $1.50 for one hour, though it did take about 15 minutes to download the app and get everything set up before heading inside. The food was outstanding. The restaurant itself is very nice, spacious, and features large windows with a great downtown view. Service was prompt, and our server, Omar, was excellent--very friendly and knowledgeable. He recommended the Chicken Tampiqueña, which I chose. My dad ordered the Butter Chicken, and my mom had the stuffed poblano. Every dish was impressive. I would have to agree when they say, "organically sourced ingredients made with love". We didn't try dessert this time, but the dessert menu looked fantastic. I did order their Old Fashioned, which I'd rate a solid 8/10--strong, well-balanced, and finished with a pleasant sweetness. Would I recommend this spot? Absolutely. Will I be returning? Without a doubt--hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu.

Everything was really yummy and very reasonable priced. I got the burrito and it was massive. I was stuffed after and could have made two meals out of it.

So I'd recommend buying one with the orange juice and then buying champagne only for the others.

We had a hummus appetizer to start off with, beautiful presentation; we practically licked the plate. Then we ordered three entrées. We had the chicken pasta dish, the chicken pesto sandwich, and the mushroom ravioli. Each of the dishes was beautifully plated/presented, and the flavors and complexity of each dish was absolutely perfect. I had a glass of wine, then a whiskey strawberry cocktail, which was super refreshing and beautiful. The bill came out to about $97 for two alcoholic beverages, a tea, an appetizer and three entrées, which is really good in my opinion. I am so looking forward to trying their brunch and their high tea very soon. And I learned that they have great specials Wednesday through Friday. Half of tapas and wine on Wednesdays! I'm so there!!!!

The vibe is elevated Mediterranean chic: soft lighting, stylish plates, and a touch of romance that makes it ideal for date night. The service? Spot-on -- attentive without hovering. They have an impressive list of drink options, plus a full bar tucked off to the side, and it's connected to a charming hotel, which adds to the whole experience. Now the food -- absolutely phenomenal. Their vegan options go beyond the usual: calabacita soup that's cozy and flavorful, falafel and hummus done right, and my personal favorite, the roasted fire cauliflower kebab plate -- charred to perfection. And then they surprised me with hummus-stuffed jalapeño poppers that were downright addictive. My husband went for the same dish, bacon-wrapped (mine, obviously, sans bacon), and we both cleaned our plates. Fair prices, generous portions, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger -- Lamezze nails it.

Other than that the food was great I would order from here again.

Which were good (lacked a little crisp but had good flavor). The green salsa at the table was fantastic, a little slice but a ton of flavor. Everything was fresh, the chips were freshly baked, the rice was not day old rice like at so many places around here it was good and actually had some flavor, the beans were good (the bright orange color of the beans surprised me, turmeric? Regardless they were delicious). Unfortunately the meat had zero spices, not even salt. The only reason not taking off a star is the salsa paired perfectly with the shredded beef tacos and the green chili burger, but a little bit of salt would have elevated the meal for sure. There was no salt on the meat in any of the meals we'd ordered. The coffee was good and strong, the mugs weren't tiny little mugs they actually gave you enough coffee to enjoy and the experience over all was wonderful. My mom spoke Spanish, I border on no sabo, pero intendo and my kids speak no Spanish at all, the menu was all Spanish but the waitress was patient and sweet with every order. Definitely worth the visit.
