This is a great spot for fresh authentic Mexican Burritos. Their Chile Relleno is by far the best in town. Their Barbacoa virtually melts in your mouth. The service is friendly but you will have to arm yourself with some patience as everything is done a la minute. So freshly made and made to order. Many locals come here every day as they offer a great value. They also offer aqua Fresca including Horchata. The ambiance is low key as they have an open kitchen with two counters where orders can be placed. The restaurant is very clean. This is definitely a great local gem for Burritos

After 4+ years, this is still one of my go-tos for great burritos. The tortillas are amazing, and the various burritos are made fairly consistently (occasionally the ratios are a little off, but mostly they produce them consistently.) Chile relleno burrito with side of salsa verde remains my favorite, although they run out of those around/before noon most days. The carne asada, add queso and pico, is my second choice. (And I think the picadillo is excellent if you like potatoes more than I do.) I definitely prefer the salsa verde to the salsa roja. Both are spicy but I think the green has more depth of flavor. Service is always efficient and polite. It's mostly a drive-thru with a small outside seating area.

Been craving an egg and chorizo burrito. Rita's did not disappoint! So delicious and nice full burrito. The service was friendly through drive thru. Cute retro looking from the outside. Can't wait to try some other items!

CHILE VERDE

Easily my favorite burrito spot I've found in El Paso. Easy drive thru, crazy good tortillas, and actually flavorful meat. I will definitely be coming back! I ordered 3 styles of burritos: - Red Chile Burrito - Chile Verde - Barbacoa (the best) I've heard a lot about the red Chile Burrito but in a all honesty I thought it was the weakest one. The red Chile was not super flavorful and had a bit of a strange taste to it. The Barbacoa Burrito with the green salsa was incredible. Probably the best I've had in El Paso. One issue I had with all of them was that the meats were a little dry. The salsa made up for it but they could definitely use some more juices in the meat. Overall: Decently priced, flavorful, fresh tortillas, with ample meat and weight to each burrito. I loved it and will come back soon!

The perfect little burritos with fresh tortillas. We were looking for something exactly like this, saw it on Yelp and the outcome was delicious! My family and I shared all different kinds of burritos so we could try them all. Here's our list, first being best: 1. Chile relleno 2. Red chile brisket 3. Picadillo 4. Egg and chorizo (add cheese) 5. Bean and cheese 6. Bacon and egg (add cheese) All of them were extremely good so it's really just your preference. We got the rajas/hatch chile and it wasn't anything special but that can always determine on the chile too. Our favorite part was the fresh tortillas. Also, it's a drive through! Lastly, red sauce is spicier than the green but both had great flavor. Ask for extra!

Really good sized burros. Plenty of fillings on great homemade tasting flour tortillas. My favorite burro is the picadillo.

We tried 3 of the signature burritos. The red hatch burrito is outstanding and stole the show (assuming you like moderate spicy stuff).

The tortillas were undercooked and the amount of stuffing in the burritos is very little. Price is high for what you get

Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

About 8 large chile toreados, grilled onions.and plenty of corn tortillas. The charro beans were mostly bean soup. I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.

Their tacos al pastor con queso are so good. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned, a little greasy in the best way, and topped with melted cheese. One thing I love is their salsa bar. I always grab the red salsa, green salsa, and guacamole. I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible. Last summer, the hostess recognized me right away and seated me immediately. She even remembered my order. I order the exact same thing every visit: tacos and two cans of Sprite. The fact that she has been there since I first started coming in 2019 makes every visit feel like coming home. From 2019 until I moved away in 2022, I went there almost every week. To eat here, everyone lines up at the cashier to place an order, but somehow I always felt like royalty. The staff knew me, and every visit felt welcoming. El Cometa never disappoints. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and every visit reminds me why I fell in love with tacos in the first place.

I'm always a sucker for green sauce and both green sauce were my favorites one mild one a little spicy. Service was quick. Food was decent. First and second menu items were our choices. The tacos al pastor were great, decent amount of meat on the tacos and flavorful. Flautas are more like taquitos very crunchy on the outside and the meat was tender. Price is affordable.

I could say so much for you to believe me, and it honestly starts with the speedy (and kind) service, flavorful profiles and the pricing! My first visit I just simply couldn't believe it. Each visit, I try something new and I must say that I'm hooked on the Jamaica Margarita (with the tajin rim), and the pork shoulder taco, as well as the chicken taco! The Baja shrimp taco is also in my top 3! The staff is kind, energetic and will remember you; not just from personal experience but from my observations as well. Service is fast, food is hot and it's a great place to be! There is no wi-fi, but it is a FUN and engaging place for sure! I'd recommend a bar seat if you're lucky Warning: You may leave planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill.

One of the servers, Jonah, threw away my "half-eaten" food without asking if I was finished. I didn't realize that was his decision to make, and when I brought it up, he rolled his eyes and responded with a horrible attitude. On a positive note, Sara behind the bar was fantastic, and Alexis was incredibly kind. They both provided the level of service I've come to expect from Taconeta. I hope management addresses this, because one negative interaction shouldn't overshadow the great staff and food that usually keep me coming back.
