So about close to 10 years ago i had the asada quesadilla. It was good! So fast forward to 2023 and i tried the carne asada tacos. They were flavorful and filled with enough meat and no fat . The only complaint is the salsa which was mediocre at best. It needed more garlic and onion and spices.

Alright I forgot to take pics of the food because it was so good. I got a quesadilla con carne asada, oh man, flavor was amazing, meat was tender and the Chile sauce they gave was flavorful and had a mild spice. Also an order of barbacoa tacos. I am not a fan of barbacoa but thought I'd give it a try one last time. This will be the only place I get them from. Small little drive thru shack and the line moved pretty quick. OH GET AN HORCHATA!!!!!

Really good tacos is can make a so-so day so much better! Loved it all. So freaking yummy! I can't be happier. Had some "local" aka commercial food here and been highly disappointed. So thank you for the simply delicious flavors.

I'm surprised I haven't left a review for tacos Tamaulipas. This place has been consistently good for over 10 years. Not one hiccup with these guys food is always as fresh and good. Best tripitas in town. Need a spicier salsa though.

I've came here before so I recommended this place for me and my hubby to eat, however when we got home we were severely disappointed. We got the tripas with two barbacoa burritos. The tripas were so mushy no crunch at all, and so very salty, the barbacoa was also very salty. I will say those salsas were very spicy and delicious but on the same note one half of a tiny key lime for 6 tacos is very diabolical. Service was excellent the lady was very nice and helped my husband with any issues he had describing the food (he doesn't speak Spanish) so I had him order to practice lol I really wish I could put 5 stars because the lady was wonderful but the food was just not it. Mind you for almost $30 is crazy read more

Tried this place for the first time on Friday night. Only a few cars ahead of me but it didn't take long to place my order. I went with tacos de asada and asked for a papa asada as well. I was told there were no sides. To bad I love papa asada's with my tacos. I also orders the aqua de pina colada cause it sounded delicious. Order was ready in less than 10 minutes. Got home and prepared my tacos. They were pretty delicious the added cilantro and onions and salsas filled the tacos but I still woulda loved a papa too. The aqua was pretty good too.. read more

The man that works here steals from its customers. I got three burritos at $3.99 and an order of asada at $9.49 (which is already a ridiculous price for what you get) he charged me 26.25!!!! So I paid him in cash and drove off. It should've been $23.25. Oh and he didn't give me a receipt. Knowing damn well he had overcharged me. He stole $3 for me. If he overcharges every vehicle $3, it adds up. Check your receipt! And confront this man who has no manners. When I went back for my money his face said it all. He knew he stole from me. The girl worker printed the receipt in front of me and it said $23.25. How could he confuse that amount with twenty-SIX???? they didn't even apologize. Rude rude people. Don't go here. And ALWAYS CHECK YOUR RECEIPT. read more

I've been going to this place for years! And they tacos are ALWAYS cold. I went again last night and I can truly say that I never thought I'd see the day that my tacos would be nice and hot. I give 3 stars because although the tacos were delicious, the salsas are disgusting as hell! They taste like water I feel like they don't care about the sauces they make, but they truly make a difference. They need to step it up cause those tacos are pricey. I'm still undecided if I'd like to return or not.... read more

This is a real taco stand not a restaurant. It's right behind the 7 Eleven/Alon gas station on the corner. This place is pure Tex-Mex, the plate of 4 little tacos is cheap and filling (if you're not starving, no beans/rice) and tasty - taste is the key word here. You could spend a lot more for a lot less.

I love the tacos de higado here if they EVER have them. It's been a couple of times I come and they're out of them super early. Also I asked for a barbacoa burrito for my daughter with the onion and cilantro on the side and they put it inside anyway. That was not the problem... my husband took it back and they had an attitude! Then they made it again and I don't know where they're from, but a barbacoa burrito with beans is disgusting to me and my daughter hated it. I probably will not be coming back again. read more

One of the servers, Jonah, threw away my "half-eaten" food without asking if I was finished.

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.

Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle.

They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

I had just come down from a Tom Lea gallery event upstairs and the restaurant was packed. I figured it was a long shot, but they still found a way to seat me. Service stayed friendly even with the rush, which I always notice. The burger was easily one of the best I've had in El Paso. Clearly handcrafted, cooked right, super juicy, really flavorful. What impressed me most was the bun actually held everything together instead of falling apart halfway through like most gourmet burgers do. At about $20, it felt justified. One thing worth noting, especially if you're into spirits: they have one of the largest tequila and mezcal collections around. Definitely a destination spot if that's your thing. I tried their carajillo but found out they add Baileys, which made it sweeter than I usually prefer. Not bad at all, just more dessert-leaning than my taste. Live music from Jordan Taylor was happening that night too, which made the whole atmosphere feel elevated without being stuffy. Because that first visit stuck with me, I went back recently to try their lunch special with a friend. For $26 you get an appetizer, entrée, sides, guacamole, tostadas, and dessert. It's honestly a great way to try a range of dishes without committing to just one plate. Funny enough, it doesn't look like a huge amount of food at first... but we were completely stuffed by the end, so kudos to them for balancing portions well while still giving variety. Standouts: * The octopus cocktail appetizer was excellent. Bright, fresh, good texture. * Carne asada was cooked exactly right. Tender but still had bite like a proper steak. * Mushroom components in several dishes were surprisingly flavorful. * Desserts were a highlight. The arroz con leche arancini especially. Crispy outside, creamy inside, not overly sweet. Very well done. Some things were more middle-of-the-road: * Salmon dish leaned bland, lots of texture but not much flavor. * Guacamole tasted a bit acidic. * Goat cheese in the enchiladas was subtle to the point of disappearing. * Corn and mashed potatoes were fine but nothing memorable. Timing was reasonable. Food came out in about 20 minutes, but with a full meal you'll want to plan roughly an hour to an hour and a half total if you're not rushing. One practical perk: they validate parking at the Plaza garage next door, which downtown absolutely needs more of. Overall, beautiful space, solid service, some really strong dishes, and a few that could use more punch. Still very much worth checking out, especially if you're downtown already or want a nicer but still relaxed lunch or dinner spot. Definitely recommend giving it a try. 106 W Mills Ave, El Paso, TX 79901

Nice ambiance. Business appropriate , date appropriate…read more Service was pretty good. We ate here 3 times and the food is ok to good but forgettable. Live music on certain nights. All I remember after 3 meals is that the guac wasn't very good. Too acidic and not enough flavor.

We were craving true "brunch" and ordered the huevos ranchero plate; roasted Brussels; green chili mac/cheese; and their decadent churro waffle. All were terrific! Service was a bit slow and we'd chalk that up to the crowd. Parking is very limited (and full) so we chanced it at the lot across the street which was mostly-empty but within view. We would definitely return if ever back in El Paso.

This is the 2nd person at this location with this entitled attitude. Possibly she just stands out so starkly because Robert, Thomas and Samantha are sooo wonderfully professional ! I used to come here 4-5 days a week for breakfast...now I find myself walking out 3 days a week and going to Toasted Yoke restaurant. ROBERT MASON EL PASO, TX

Don't miss culinary experience. Mexican, Asian, Italian fusion with a little New Mexico green chile…read morethrown in. And craft cocktails. So, call it New American. Don't ask, just eat. Quiet evening, an hour before closing, and the staff was ready for anything. Pretty venue. The chef welcomed our table. Great specials BTW. Especially Faculty Friday discounts. The soju cocktails are especially refreshing. And they make an excellent Old Fashioned. The pot stickers are a must-order for appetizers. Delicate wrapper, crisp finish, chorizo and Italian sausage filling. And yet they were light. Sooooo good. Don't miss the lettuce wraps either. Beef, chicken, kim chi. Yum. We also ordered beef stroganoff (must order dish here), green chile Alfredo, whipped feta burger, and strawberry ginger salad. All are highly recommended. No tipping policy. Staff are paid appropriately. I 100% approve of that. If this place was in Austin or Houston it would have an hour wait for a table. Innovative food, great service, an engaged chef, and a pretty venue. Michelin star worthy if they ever visit EP.

Though we have only made it to Twisted Fork for brunch, so far, we have enjoyed the two times we…read morehave dropped in. The food is delicious, the service is good, but if it gets too crowded, they won't be able to see you. If you need to, maybe make a reservation. I'm totally interested in coming back to try their cocktails. Some friends visiting El Paso, earlier in the year, made it in for dinner said that they truly enjoyed it. I was a bit jealous. During the most recent brunch, I enjoyed an avocado toast, with a side of eggs. I should have considered another protein on the side, but after all was said and done, I was full and happy with that. The coffee was hot and bottomless. An interesting note is that they pay their servers a full wage so you don't have to tip...but if you did, they would very much appreciate it. They also have a military discount. We will return.
