    WAY EXPIRED CHIPS! SICK!

    My son usually goes here and I usually go somewhere else because I don't like spicy hot food; however, this time I heard they had a new addition to the menu so I went in. I asked them if the new Huli Huli Chicken was spicy hot and they said no, it was sweet. So, we purchased the chicken dish, 2 bags of chips, and a cookie for takeout. When we arrived back home, the Chicken was spicy hot so I threw it out!!! Sooooo, they lied to me to make a sale. I shook my head and said, "At least I have the chips". I opened the bag and examined the maker of the chips. I was instantly appalled by seeing an expiration date of December 16, 2025 (It is February 23 today!)!!!! Also, my son yesterday bought 2 Musubis and 2 Yuzu Ponzu Salmon dishes and the 2 Musubis were going to expire that same day. This restaurant is right by Coronado High School so just imagine the expired crap they are throwing at our kids! NEVER AGAIN!

    Poke Your Way Regular - Ahi Tuna
    Angelica L.

    Overall: 3.5/5 (dine in) We came around 11:30 AM to order lunch and they didn't have a lot of items that we wanted. They didn't have kale noodles, salad, cilantro, or salmon. If a store is going to open at 11 AM, I expect the advertised food to be available. The food should be prepped before opening or the night before. It's not a good business model to not have - say - salmon which is a huge part of the menu, especially if you're a poke place. Poke Your Way Regular: We got a regular bowl with 2 scoops of ahi tuna since there were no other proteins we wanted. You can choose your base, mix-ins, toppings, and sauces. For the base, since they didn't have kale noodles or salad, we got half white rice and half brown rice. The rice was really good, especially the brown rice since it wasn't dry at all. For the mix-ins, we got cucumbers, sweet onions, edamame, pineapple, mango, & mandarin orange. The fruits gave the bowl a delicious sweetness that went well with the ahi tuna. For the sauces, we got umami shoyu, sweet shoyu, and a little bit of the spicy serrano aioli. The flavors are what made the bowl really good because the ahi tuna wasn't that fresh. For the toppings, we got surimi (crab) salad, masago, green onions, pickled ginger, wasabi, & furikake. For the crunch, we got onion crisps, garlic crisps, & shredded nori. Everything went well together. If you're not that hungry or eat a little for lunch, you can split this bowl with someone else.

    Service was extremely slow. The first night I went they were out of everything so I said I'd come back: went today and horrible. Tuna was fishy. Avocado rock solid. One girl working and it was not sanitary. Stay clear.

    The food is good, but I recommend going in and ordering in person. Under no circumstances should you order delivery. They are perpetually out of items and will not notify you if you order delivery. I ordered the keto bowl which is supposed to have cauliflower rice, mixed greens, avocado, surimi salad, tuna, Serrano aioli, ginger, and seaweed. When my bowl arrived it had plain white rice instead of cauliflower, no mixed greens, no avocado, no ginger, and no surimi. It was basically white rice, tuna, and seaweed with barely any aioli. But they still charged me the extra cost for a "limited time" bowl. Not even a call to say they were out of anything or to check if substitutions were okay or if I wanted to change my order.

    My poke adventure took me to this place on the west side. It's right across the street from whole foods, but you can easily miss the sign because the tree branches in the front need trimming. Anyway, this place is fantastic!! The scoops were a bit better!!! They have options on the board, or you can create your poke bowl! What I really love about this place was the fact that they had Hawaiian Sun and SPAM MUSUBI!! Oh, if you're from Hawaii, you would know!! I got a Hawaiian sun, and it was amazing. I haven't had one in over two years. Anyways, if you're a poke lover, definitely try them out!! If you're on the east side, make the trip. It's worth it!!

    This is the ahi tuna bowl. Super yum

    I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this place. Its good! The fish is okay too and the prices are decent. The service was awesome and the vibes are like brunch vibes with a lot of sunshine!

    This is what I got instead of the California Roll Pressed Sushi

    Ordered twice on Uber eats in the same date. The first time, the California roll pressed sushi was missing, so I ordered the missing items again... I have no idea what they sent, but it's for sure not what i ordered. this is not the first time I have had issues with this location. either if I go in person or order via Uber there is always something wrong with my order. Never ordering from there ever again.

    if you like eating your food in the freezer then this is the place to be! it was soooo cold in there that it was super uncomfortable to finish our food. the food on the other hand was great! we enjoyed it and thought the ingredients were very fresh! would order take out next time.

    One of my new favorite places in town! I was worried that a regular sized bowl wouldn't be satisfying (I eat a lot! Haha) but it was stuffed by the end of my meal. The raw fish tasted very good, and all the ingredients seemed very fresh. There's a TON of options available to customize your order, so I'm definitely coming back to try more! Also the service was good, they were great at explaining everything and very friendly. The only reason I don't give this place 5 starts is because of all the plastic they use even for dine in. I wish they at least had compostable or cardboard bows instead.

    Healthy shack is again, a great place to come and eat. The food is amazing and does not make me…read morefeel bloated. It is a great place to eat for sure in El Paso!

    Pretty good! I got to taste Healthy Shack's food after a recent doctor's appointment at Texas Tech…read more The good thing about going to Texas Tech is that there's always food trucks parked outside! I always try different ones whenever I go to a doctor's appointment there. I don't like going to doctor's appointments (does anyone actually like them??) but...I always look forward to trying food from the food trucks parked there! Gotta make the best out of the visit I guess? Lol. Anyway... Healthy Shack offers a variety of healthy foods including vegan entrees. Even though I try to eat vegan foods from time to time...I wasn't in the mood when I visited Healthy Shack. I decided to go with their brisket tacos. They weren't bad! The brisket and veggies were tasty. I didn't really taste any cheese or salsa in them. I feel like these two items could make or break a taco. I also didn't receive any chile/salsa on the side! I thought that was kind of weird! It's hard for me to eat a taco without a side of chile/salsa! I was starving so I tried not to think about it too much. Sorry but just for these two items alone, I have to deduct a star. It's sort of like a cardinal sin (imo) to eat a taco without salsa and cheese! There was some type of sauce in the taco but it wasn't like the green or red salsa I'm used to. Am I overreacting? I don't think so. Lol. The brisket tacos came with a salad and a side of pineapple with chili powder and chamoy. I wasn't crazy about the salad. It had some kind of dressing I didn't really like, along with cranberries, carrots and cucumbers with sunflower seeds on top of it. I hardly ate any of it. The pineapple was really good. I ate all of that along with two tacos. There was three tacos but I saved one for Chico, my dog. He devoured it like in five seconds. I would consider ordering a side of the pineapple from Healthy Shack. I think I would only order the tacos if there was red or green salsa with cheese included. Maybe I missed them in the tacos? Overall, a good experience. I believe the owner (Victor) was helping me out. He was nice and friendly. He gave me a punch card in case I return. I don't recall what you get after 10 visits. I had a hard time hearing him because it was pretty loud. Let's support local!

    Great burger place that also does really good chicken, fish, and salad! Was there with my family…read moreso we ordered accordingly, I wanted a burger, wife wanted a salad, and kid wanted the fried fish. I tasted all of the dishes we ordered and notably put their green chili burger in the top section of my favorite burgers! The salad with grilled chicken was also very good, and the kids fried fish was tasty as well, expect it's the same fish used for the fish tacos. Basically they use good ingredients, and prepare them thoughtfully. The place was very clean and the person taking our order was helpful answering our questions, other staff was friendly as well. We will be back when in the area.

    Im currently eating here as I write this, it's so good I had to write right away!…read more The OG borracho burger is soooo good, you gotta eat quick though because the over medium egg will make it fall apart quickly but that's okay, like I said, it's delicious. It came with seasoned fries which were FANTASTIC as well. My wife had the regular burger, she's picky but she definitely loved the burger. She's more of a regular fries person, being picky but she said they're okay, which is a good sign! My kids never eat out but my one order of sliders was finished super quick, the other is a baby but she eating too. She doesn't eat my burgers at home so I need whatever recipe they have! My son ate his nuggets and they all love the fries. The only thing I have that could be an improvement would be making the limeade a bit less tart otherwise we really enjoyed everything! Especially their customer service The restaurant was great itself as well, the music was good, they have 2 tvs for entertainment as well. I would absolutely recommend this place to people! When I'm on this side of town I'll definitely come back
