This is our second time here in 2 weeks for brunch. The food was fantastic, and the service was friendly. They operate on a "no tip" basis, where they pay their employees a fair wage. I ordered the Korean chicken and waffles. The waffle was fluffy, and absorbed the gochujang syrup well. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned. Next time I would probably add a friend egg or something to go with it. My fiancé got the chilaquiles, which had great flavor. If I had to make suggestions for it, I would say maybe it could have benefited from some cotija cheese, or make the sauce a little saucier. But overall great taste and texture. read more

Twisted Fork is a distinctive restaurant that combines Mexican, Italian & Thai cuisines. The dishes are unique and very different from anything I've tried. I got the Baked Chicken Penne. The chicken was juicy and the sauce was rich and creamy. My husband got the Flat Iron Steak, that comes with 2 sides. Everything was seasoned & cooked to perfection. Our server, Zach was really attentive & made our first visit pleasant. Twisted fork is perfect for a date night & we'll definitely be going back. read more

I truly can't rave enough about this place. Traveling from out of town, I did a quick search for locally owned places and the menu caught my eye. We arrived and were treated well with great and friendly service. The popular items and specials were presented and my husband and I both chose something new and exciting and while we were patiently waiting, the manger came out and explained that there was slight confusion in the kitchen and offered a free appetizer. We chose the potstickers and they were amazing - a fusion of Mexican and Asian in the most delectable form. It made us excited for our entrees to arrive. My husband had the green chile pasta and I had the stuffed chicken and the flavor profiles were fantastic . We will be back! read more

I've been to Twisted Fork four times now; twice for breakfast and twice for dinner, and my family and I have enjoyed it every single time. I made reservations for three of those visits because the restaurant is small, intimate, and clearly very popular, and I wanted to make sure we had a table. The concept is a fun and unique fusion of Italian, Mexican, and Asian flavors, and what really sets Twisted Fork apart is their no-tipping model. Gratuity is already included in the price of the dishes, so you receive a transparent bill at the end, which I truly appreciate. Even better, the service is absolutely remarkable, attentive, warm, and professional. Twisted Fork offers a breakfast menu, a dinner menu, and a seasonal menu. One of my favorite items so far has been the chorizo pot stickers, which were a delicious and memorable appetizer. Although the restaurant is small, the music is upbeat and on the louder side, giving it a lively, energetic vibe. The food does take a bit of time to arrive, but it's clear this is because each dish is thoughtfully prepared with personal attention. In my experience, the coffee, cocktails, appetizers, and entrées have all been outstanding. As long as you keep in mind the need for reservations, the upbeat and loud music, and the slightly longer wait time for food, I highly recommend the experience. The food is absolutely delicious, and Twisted Fork is well worth the visit. read more

We tried twisted fork for the first time last week and it wasn't bad. Not a place I'd go to again but not bad. Service was great! The restaurant is tiny and the tables are really close to one another so it does fit a little tight. Beverages were great as well. Food over all was okay. We had a large party and we each tried something new. The baos were dry and the tortilla soup was not our cup of tea. However, their cheese dip was delicious, steak was very good, the burgers were good but nothing special, and their buffalo chicken sandwich was dry, not spicy, and very oily. Again not a terrible place just not one we'll be visiting again read more

Excellent service by Jessie ! He was attentive and courteous! Food was amazing! Thank you!

Jesse was a wonderful waiter. Food was delicious frist try definitely we will return. Excellent service, and food . Drinks where good.

I visited twisted Fork for dinner with the reservation, and while the restaurant wasn't very busy, the ambience was pleasant. Our server was new, but attentive at first. They made an Offman espresso martini for us, and the espresso old-fashioned was a surprising highlight, strong at first sip, then nicely balanced. We started with the bao buns. The meat was very flavorful, and the coleslaw on top added a refreshing crunch. The buns themselves weren't the traditional fluffy style, but they were still enjoyable. The chicken carciofi was extremely flavorful, the salad tasted fresh, and the mac & cheese felt underwhelming for the up charge. The pasta, however, arrived undercooked, and completely lacking sauce or flavor. I normally don't speak up, but this one needed attention. After I mention the issue, our server became noticeably less attentive and seemed to disappear. The head chef, René, came out personally, kind, sincere, and quick to acknowledge the mistake. He offered to remake the dish and asked how I preferred it timed. The second version was cooked properly and had sauce, but the flavor still didn't land for me. Overall, I'd give twisted for a three star. The chef's professionalism was genuinely appreciated, and despite the dinner experience, I'm still interested in returning to try their brunch. read more

I stopped by and wanted to try this place out. The food was excellent as well as the service. This was the old Crave on Resler that relocated. The set up is very similar bit a little more lighting. I had the burger with sweet potato fries and my wife had the salmon which was very flavorful. My daughter had the chicken sandwich and mac and cheese. Recommend giving this place a try. read more

I have to be honest. I don't know what the heck is going on at this place. We came in and were greeted by the only hostess/server, with two other tables already occupied. This poor girl was already overwhelmed. She took our order and then it took nearly 20 min to get a coffee and another 10 to get the mimosa. All of this happening while a guy who was acting as the bartender and maybe owner sat at the bar playing on a computer. We then get our food piece mealed out after watching one of the plates sit in the hot window for almost 15 minutes. And again the weird bartender guy continually sat on his butt. And then we noticed an older lady also sitting with him and she casually walks up to the foo window and grabs food and sits down, all while this poor girl who is doing everything by herself is struggling. She apologized multiple times to us, admitting she is new and in training and yet this guy who works there and could be the owner sat in his butt. The food was good prob would have been better with better ownership and management but I doubt we will be back. read more

Service was absolutely amazing..Yes, it's a small space but with huge flavors and service. Damien the manager met every need we asked of him and Evelyn our server was very attentive. I come from Cali and I'm impressed! Try it once read more

me and my husband went for the first time today. The vibe was really chill and simple in there i liked the artwork on the walls. We were seated quickly considering there was 4 other people in there for lunch. Our server was really nice and accommodating and helped us with any recommendations she may have. I forgot her name:(. We tried to leave a tip but there was no option for it and we didn't have cash on us:(. However we got the cajun wings as an appetizer they were really good and had a lottttt of seasoning and they were crispy‍. I had the miso butter chicken pasta, i usually hate pasta sauce but this one was really simple and thin i liked it a lot. My husband had the braised short ribs those were also good. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Twisted Fork Review: A Concept That Falls Flat on Flavor I really wanted to like Twisted Fork. I love supporting local restaurants, especially ones trying something new--but after two visits, it's a no for me. My first visit was back in November, not long after they opened. I stopped by with some time to kill and walked into a live jazz night. The music was loud but lively--definitely something different for El Paso. What felt off was the server explaining that they didn't take tips and instead earned commission on whatever I ordered. It felt more like a sales pitch than genuine service. I ordered the bao buns, but they were soggy and smothered in hoisin sauce. At $17 for three, they weren't worth it--I left most of it on the plate. Since then, I kept hearing about their "no-tip" European-style system. While it might work in theory, in practice--especially in El Paso--it often translates to inflated menu prices and awkward customer experiences. I've seen similar concepts tried in LA and NYC, and they rarely last unless the food is truly outstanding. Wanting to give them a fair shot, I went back for lunch recently after hearing they revamped their menu. Service-wise, it was better. Our server, who was also the bartender, was friendly, attentive, and fast. The drinks were the highlight--thoughtful, unique, and made with Asian liquors like Soju. I'd come back just for cocktails. But the food still didn't deliver. I ordered the braised beef stroganoff, but was told they were out of the usual pasta and would reheat the short rib with a corkscrew pasta substitute. Even though it wasn't busy, the food took 30 minutes to arrive. My pasta was lukewarm, the sauce clumpy and bland--I had to ask for salt and even mashed in some garlic confit to give it some flavor, but it didn't help. My friend ordered the chicken lettuce wraps with double chicken, which came with a side of kimchi. The sauce on the chicken itself was oddly sour, which threw the whole dish off. Paired with the naturally sour kimchi on the side, the flavors just didn't balance--it was confusing and not enjoyable. It felt like a clash of two different Asian flavor profiles that didn't mesh well together. I also ordered a burger to-go from the lunch menu for my husband. The burger itself was under-seasoned and bland--but the sweet potato fries it came with were surprisingly good. Crisp, well-cooked, and the best part of the plate. The total for an appetizer, a pasta, a burger, and two drinks (one alcoholic, one not) was $88. That might be fine if the food was exceptional, but for something this underwhelming, it's hard to justify. Twisted Fork has a unique concept, but good food should always come first. Right now, it feels like a trendy gimmick without the flavor to back it up. I genuinely hope they improve, because I want to support local spots--but after two visits, I can't recommend it. Unless the food seriously levels up, I won't be back. read more

Food was very good, I had the chicken and waffles and my wife had the avocado toast. I would 100% recommend this place. We were very surprised when we received our bill, turns out the severs get paid fairly and there is no need to leave a tip. They get bonuses based on sales, etc. so I am formally inviting all of ELP to come and make this business a success. read more

Amazing service, really good food and very inviting. We arrived at 9:30ish (they close at 10), and even with us being so late the staff was sweet and inviting, I ordered the ahi tuna tostadas which consisted of a wonton "tortilla" that was topped with a sort of Spanish rice which was really good made with beef chorizo, and I'm not a fan of chorizo but it was very well seasoned, the ahi tuna was blackened and I would have preferred it a little bit more on the blue side it was still amazing. And all of it topped with a cilantro lime sauce that was the best! All in all it was great service despite us being so late the food and the wait staff were really friendly they never once made us feel rushed. The restaurant itself was very clean and tasteful nothing overly done the music was on but not so loud that we had to yell out our conversation. I will be back this weekend to try their French toast! read more

Great food and ambiance. Prices a bit higher since tip is included. Not sure if I would visit again! Service was great and very attentive!!

I really wanna give them a higher rating. The reason why they're getting a three is because their service was amazing. I have the chef it looked like possibly the manager owner and the weight staff all check on us. Make sure we were taken care of. The ambulance is nice. It's a bit small And the way the food is paired and the fusion is a really cool concept, but the food does lack flavor myself, and the wife had the Nashville, hot chicken sandwich and the seasonal whipped feta burger. The whipped feta burger was amazing would definitely order and eat again the Gouda mac & cheese Really good the sweet potato fries were overcooked and the Nashville hot chicken had a little to no flavor, but the chicken was cooked amazingly read more

Tried to eat at this place. Was interested in trying some place new. No one was manning the hostess stand and we weren't greeted. But the big reason we left was the live dj playing club music loudly! We wanted to enjoy the food and have a conversation. Not my idea of an enjoyable environment. read more

Zack was an amazing server explained everything well, Jacob was a great host made sure we enjoyed our meal. Honestly great food can't really say it anyway better, the Thai chili pasta was the highlight of the dinner. read more

A couple of weeks ago, I went for lunch at a location that used to be Crave. We ordered the green chile alfredo, braised short ribs, and I got the stuffed portabella sandwich. I took away one star because they didn't have fries available due to a lack of oil for frying. Instead, I paired my sandwich with mashed potatoes. My dish was good, and I have no complaints. The pasta was really tasty, although the dish it was served in made it a bit difficult to eat without spilling. The prices on the menu seemed high at first, but our server, who did an outstanding job, informed us that they are not paid on tips. Instead, they earn a commission based on the total bill, which I haven't encountered much in El Paso. We did wait about 20 minutes for our food to be served, which felt a bit long for lunchtime. However, I understand that the location is new and they are still finding their rhythm. Overall, I would be willing to come back again. read more

Stopped in to get a bite on a Tuesday early afternoon. We were greeted and seated right away. It may be a small place but it had really good vibes. The waitress explained about their no tip necessary concept. She also recommended a few dishes. We ordered two lunch specials, the bacon cheddar burger and the chicken Alfredo pasta. We added green chilies to the pasta. Everything came out hot and delicious. We also ordered the seasonal pumpkin roll dessert to go (which I enjoyed throughly when I got home). I'm glad we decided to check this place out. We'll be visiting again for sure. read more

A-amazing Food Twists. A must try. I've been here 3 times - Sunday Brunch, Friday Dinner, Saturday lunch all versions of twist on food is not a disappointment. The Service is always great and attentive, staff here is passionate about their food and it shows.

Locally owned and operated. read more

Not a bad place. Food was good. Only recommendation I have: because the house had music playing and the grill area had a separate music source playing, it made things feel like I was at a music festival where two bands on two separate stages were playing and trying to get my attention. Made it a little hard to have a conversation. Other than that, like I said, food was good as was the service. read more

Unique little spot! Really upscale vibe but very welcoming! We were excited to try this new place, and we were not disappointed. It has a completely new look and beautifully done. Food was delicious with a different creative take on what would otherwise be considered regular dishes. I ordered the pulled pork tacos from the appetizer menu because i wanted something small but it was so delicious. I think a nice avacado cream/ sauce would have been nice but it was really tasty as is as well! Sweet potato fries were great as well but a little marshmallow dip would have been a nice addition. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich and the chicken was so tender and juicy. Only one other time in my life have i experienced chicken that well marinated and juicy and tasty! May sound like a simple chicken sandwich but that chicken was exceptional. Menu had so many more amazing options but we were looking for a light lunch. Drinks were okay. Next time, Ill get a mule or mojito. Service was really amazing. We appreciate great service like that! We were never in need of anything and service was so friendly and helpful. read more

Twisted Fork was absolutely delicious. Will definitely return and pass the word on for others to enjoy.

Had the pleasure of eating at the Twisted Fork yesterday for lunch. Emily who was our server for lunch did a fantastic job. She was very attentive, filled our tea without even having to ask. Emily was aware of my allergies to nuts and personally informed the chef. The Chef came to our table to discuss my allergies before cooking our meal. There were five of us and everyone's dishes were delicious (Steak, Pasta, Hamburgers)!! perfectly seasoned and cooked. I would highly recommend and will be returning soon. read more
