I had to take this down from 5 stars to 4. I had not been here for a couple years, and while the…read morebroth in the Sopa de Mariscos soup is still excellent, pure deliciosa, portions and contents have really changed. I posted a photo from an earlier review, where you can see how full the bowl was with seafood. It had scallops, shrimp, mussels, clams and salmon, and was absolutely jampacked and unexpectedly delicious. I stopped today with my sister, on a drive between Richmond and Philadelphia. Though the menu stated everything should've been there but the scallops, there were only 2 clams, no mussels, a smaller piece of salmon and much less seafood in it. The price had not increased much, but the portion size was certainly reduced. Even the rice served with it was a smaller portion. Take note of the photo from today. Don't get me wrong, the broth is still good, though the shrimp was overcooked, likely from being in the steaming broth a little long. I still enjoyed it, but it was noticeably lacking items. There were no mussels, and while we were told that mussels were not good right now, they had not been replaced by anything else. For $27, I don't know that I would get it again in its present form. Leaving both the scallops and mussels off, with less than half the salmon portion size, I felt deceived. Both from what the menu said and what my previous experiences were here. So it was disappointing.

The server was friendly. Happy hour menu had an extensive list of drinks included and some desserts. No appetizers included. Sadly the food was underwhelming. The fish tacos were dry and bland.

The only one who enjoyed their snack of French fries and chicken tenders was the child with us. Not worth it!

FOOD: My sister ordered a spicy marg that she said was really good with the tajin rim. I got tacos and she got loaded tots. the tacos were good, although it was only 2 because it was off the happy hour menu, they were banging; the loaded tots were amazing as well and it was A LOT OF FOOD, also on the happy hour menu, so it was totally worth the price (tbh it's escaping me how much it was) SERVICE: quick and to the point. she was at the end of her shift so i get it, esepcially because she had to deal with the rush for the game BUT she was super kind regardless. coming back for sure.

We got a Puffy Beef…read moreTaco, a We Jammin, a Double Deuce, a Pupusa Taco Special with Chicken, and the Puff Chips with Salsa and we added Guacamole for an extra $4. Our order was on time and took about 15 min. I checked our bag and noticed we were missing the guacamole. I went back in to ask and was given a very small container that was sitting in an ice bath (pictured). I know the guacamole used to be bigger so I'm not sure what happened but $4 for what we got is kind of crazy. Unfortunately the food was kind of a mess. Most of the tortillas broke on the tacos and was just a soggy mess. The flavor was solid though. Puff chips were sadly just flat, thick chips but that could be due to the drive, I'm not sure but it was just cold and oily. Kind of an unfortunate visit from an otherwise, usually solid taco spot. Hoping it was a one off but it was definitely disappointing.

As a native born Texican, I'm always a little wary of Tex Mex places around here...as Lyle Lovett…read morefamously stated, never eat Mexican food east of the Mississippi or north of Dallas. Words that I've lived by my entire life. But being a Tex-pat here in NoVA has had me exploring...and El Paso has been a restaurant that I keep coming back to. I've never been to this location before, but another app had mentioned that it was 3.4mi from my work, so I figured I'd try it out...I've been having a hankering for enchiladas this week and figured I'd scratch that itch. Since it's Friday, I decided to try the Enchiladas Rancheras, described as 2 cheese enchiladas topped with beef or chicken, served with lettuce, a tomato (not needed, I will omit this next time), sour cream and a side of rice and beans. Sounded perfect! I paired it with a bowl of queso and a water, because I'm still on the clock, otherwise it would have been a cold Modelo or swirl margarita. What was brought out to me was not lunch, but a time machine...taking me back to my college days and a meal that I've been chasing for over 20 years. The beef was stewed and tender, and paired with the cheese enchiladas it reminded me of hitting up Taco Cabana after the bars, ordering a carne guisada and a side of queso, mixing it all up together and diving in with chips. I wasn't planning on inhaling the whole plate (and queso too) but I did and even though I am in gastric pain, I do not regret my decision. Even though I'm sure I looked the fool, I closed my eyes while eating it and I was back there in College Station at 2:30am, listening to Cross Canadian Ragweed and having my whole life ahead of me. The food was THAT good...it actually took me back in time. The service was also excellent and attentive, and I wish I had the bravery to go back into the kitchen and shake everyone's hands. I will be coming back, I will be ordering it again (sans tomato) and I will be putting myself into a food coma once again. If you're looking for delicious Tex Mex food in the area, as a native Texan and a descendent of the Old Three Hundred, I highly recommend El Paso...they're a little bit of home right here in Northern Virginia.

However, once inside, my experience was much better than expected. The food arrived hot, was delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. My only concern was the service.

Aside from that, the food quality and value made for an enjoyable dining experience.

We were invited to join friends here for Cinco De Mayo…read more As you might expect, El Paso was jammed packed with people sipping brightly-colored drinks sitting in chairs along the sidewalk. Curiously, El Paso was playing music on the sidewalk, but the music was of some pop strain and definitely not Mexican. For such a hectic evening, service inside was surprisingly good. This was our third visit here. We swore we wouldn't come back after the last time here when our expensive and tiny tequila shots came in shot glasses where the bottom of the glass was halfway to the top of the glass. But hey, who were we to turn down a free Cinco De Mayo dinner? So back here we were. Somebody at our table mentioned that the El Pasos in the DMV were not all owned by a single person, that the brothers in the family had a falling out so these El Pasos have different owners now. That would explain why the El Paso next to Five Guys up on Richmond Highway has such different menus and service. Our favorite El Paso remains the location in Springfield. I went with the birria tacos. They were fat and tasty and came with a great dipping sauce. They also came with rice and beans on a separate plate. A kind of white queso fundido was ordered for the table to go with the brightly colored tortilla chips. This cheese sauce was more like gravy than a true queso fundido.

The shell was nice and crispy, with chicken stuffed inside. The chicken flavor was good, but I do wish it had been seasoned a bit more. My biggest complaint was that the taquitos weren't served with any type of dipping sauce. Without a sauce, they were a little dry. A salsa, queso, or crema would have complemented them well and made the dish much more enjoyable. Overall, they're your standard fried chicken taquitos. They're worth trying, but adding a dipping sauce would definitely elevate the experience.
