Get the Al pastor tacos! The food, service, and atmosphere was awesome! Highly recommended!

Enjoyed a birthday lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated on the more private patio section which was nice. Loved the start up of the meal with the homemade chicharrones and salsa. Very tasty! The family opted for a mix of different plates. Enchiladas (green & red) they look a little different (like empanadas almost) but they were tasty - preferred the green. Also had a torta which was pretty large. A smothered tamale plate (cannot recall the name), the tamale platter and the parillada meal that a couple folks shared. Overall the food was tasty. We did have a little bit of an issue with some cold plates and slower service but overall not bad & we'll try it again at some point. read more

My favorite new restaurant that I have visited in El Paso. Food was delicious, they have a variety of tequila and mezcal drinks. Best part is that you can order the meat to go by pound! read more

We went to Perol yesterday on a whim and are very glad we did! First off, we were seated promptly and accommodated for one guest with disabilities. Our server, David, was just awesome. He was knowledgeable and friendly. His smiling face set the mood for the entire meal. We had the carnitas and the tamales divorciados. DELICIOUS. A true taste of my childhood matanzas! I have not had refried beans like that since my grandmother passed away. We will definitely be back and sincerely hope David is our server again. Upscale relaxed setting serving really good food. What a treat. read more

I loved "Perol Artisanal Carnitas" and visited it because it was highly recommended. When I arrived, I immediately noticed the modern and beautifully decorated restaurant. I experienced outstanding customer service; we only waited five minutes to be seated during lunchtime on a Sunday. The couple of cocktails we had were amazing. Their menu is affordable, but I loved how delicious all the food was. Their servings are large, specifically the Chamorro Adobado. Perol Artisanal Carnitas offers authentic Mexican Food. I highly recommend it. My only complaint is that the food was a bit cold. Apparently, their heat lamp was off, and our food waited for about 5 minutes to be served, but they will fix it. read more

Their chicharrones are the bomb. The red salsa goes very well with this. David our waiter was very good and very attentive. The background music is not Spanish but still good. The mole and enchiladas are good as well read more

Not sure what all the hype is on this place?? Taco Tote blows it out of the water as far as food quality, taste and for sure price. The beer is the most expensive Mexican beer I have ever paid for! They don't bring ANY dressings for your tacos. You get very small cups of salsa for the microwave pork skins they serve. Do yourself a favor and go to Taco Tote and save some money. O and the service is horrible!! The ambience is okay. read more

Went to celebrate my sisters Birthday recently. Overall, we were super impressed with the food and their salsas. I would go back for the food for sure. Service was alright. It felt like we were annoying the server whenever we would ask for napkins, a to-go box, or extra plates for the cake we cut. I hope service gets better cause no one wants to feel like we are bothering the server. The place was not full by the way, this was at lunch time. read more

OMG! The food was phenomenal and our service was exceptional. I ordered the carnitas burrito, my husband and mom ordered the carnitas with rice and beans. The kids had chicken tenders and fries. We will definitely be back and will take pictures next time. read more

I really enjoyed Perol. We had the pork belly and carnitas. Everything was very good.

If you live in El Paso and you're not here once a week you are missing out! This is some of the best Mexican food we've ever had and we live in Austin, HOME of TexMex. The Carnitas are outstanding. The refried beans are over the top good and even the rice is superb. We will remember this place and be back every time we come through El Paso. Ask for David. Superb service!!! read more

Our absolutely favorite Mexican restaurant in El Paso. Real authentic food, absolutely delicious. We've been going here since it started and they've been continuously are improving both inside and adding a patio outside. I highly recommend! read more

We have always wanted to try them but for some reason we never got the chance So this morning I saw their ad on Facebook and we decided to give them a try. From the time we walked in we were greeted with friendly and polite employees. Our server was very friendly and explained the menu and offered some suggestions. The food was fantastic. We will definitely return. Thank you read more

Craving Carnitas or crispy Chicharron? Check out Perol, the new go-to spot for delicious and traditional pork dishes. Owned by the family behind Don Carbon, they really know how to cook meats. I'm a fan of their other restaurant, Amar, and Perol was...just ok. Now, let's talk about the pricing. It's on the higher side considering the quality you get, especially with so many other amazing, affordable options nearby. Don't get me wrong, though. The presentation and quality of the food at Perol are top-notch. However, $22 for four strips of fried Chicharron, a bit of guacamole, and 6 handmade tortillas on the side is a bit much. And that's just the appetizer! ‍ On the positive side, they serve pork rinds as chips and salsa, and their salsas are delicious. They're well-seasoned and not too spicy. I tried their Carnitas plate, which included three meaty pieces, bone-in rice, and beans for $15. While the meat looked good and had a nice flavor, it wasn't as tender as I expected. For the price, especially for pork, the Carnitas should be melt-in-your-mouth tender. The Rajas con Queso appetizer ($10) was extremely good, and my friend loved their Al Pastor tacos plate ($12). The tacos were generously stuffed and flavorful. The different handmade tortillas were visually appealing, but I didn't notice much difference in taste between the regular and spinach/beet-infused ones, especially when paired with bold-flavored items like the Rajas or Al Pastor meat. It felt a bit gimmicky. The drinks are a bit pricey, especially the Aqua Frescas. I had the lemonade, which was refreshing, but considering the portion size and no refills, $4.50 is a bit steep. Now, let's talk desserts! The Pastel De Nuez Con Bieve De Chongos ($9) was ridiculously amazing, with a homemade caramel-flavored ice cream and a soft, flavorful pecan bundt cake. It was the perfect ending to the meal. I also enjoyed their pumpkin atole ($6) a lot. It had a delicate pumpkin flavor and a creamy texture. One thing that made me question the experience was the overall feeling of the restaurant. I couldn't tell if it was a quick-service place or a higher-end establishment. The service inside was hit or miss. While the staff was friendly, they sometimes forgot about us for extended periods and asked the same questions multiple times. We were even asked about our drinks four times, which we had already ordered. The kitchen staff seemed preoccupied with the drive-thru orders, and at one point, I heard someone in the back shouting "cállate" in Spanish, which was a bit off-putting. The service staff spent a lot of time hanging out at the bar, and despite there not being many customers. I'm not sure if the booth seating hid us from their view, but it took a long time to get their attention. However, when they did come, they were super nice and attentive and they spoke perfect English and Spanish, which made me comfortable asking questions about the menu. I hope the service improves and matches the pricing and overall atmosphere. Because if I can go to Victoria's in Canutillo and get their amazing Carnitas on Tuesdays for $1.50 and wait just as long for the food and service, I'd prefer going there. I'm still interested in trying more of Perol's menu, and I think it could be a great place for special occasions, given the pricing. However, the atmosphere doesn't quite match up. So hopefully, there will be some changes because I really like Amar, and they've shown they can deliver a higher-price experience with the right ambiance and service. Check out Perol for yourself and make your own decision. -TODOELPASO 6398 Doniphan Dr, El Paso, TX 79932 read more

Stopped by for carnitas and was very happy. Such a wonderful restaurant. Very nice inside decor and great service. The food was delicious! I eat a lot of carnitas and this was very good. The salsas served on the side with the tacos were amazing. A red salsa and an orange salsa; both packed with unique flavor and the perfect spice. I also had one of their homemade juices (green juice) and it was very tasty and fresh. Highly recommend this spot if in El Paso and looking for quality food and nice ambiance. The rest of the menu sounded amazing too. read more

Perol Artisanal Carnitas - Carnitas Tacos - Wine Bars Near Me - El Paso, Texas

service was absolutely terrible. After 16 min couldn't even get our waters. Why bother ordering a cocktail. Left before it got worse

Service was horrible. We got seated next to the door/entrance so that day was windy and had all the dust and draft hit us. Asked to be moved when a table opened but waitress changed and did not relay our request to the next person. Food was ok, not the "artisanal" claim they have. Same as Carnitas Queretaro but with a higher price. read more

Muy decepcionado de este lugar. Las carnitas, con un muy pobre sabor, estaban muy duras. Mi esposa tuvo que pedir un steak knife para partirlas hasta que decidió mejor concentrarse en el puerco al pastor. La persona que nos atendió era muy amable pero se perdía cuando la necesitabamos. En general, el servicio y la comida no están a la altura de la popularidad del lugar. read more
