    Chilaquiles
    Brian L.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    My wife and I tried the Gluten Free Penne pasta with green chile Alfredo and it was great. Jessie our waiter was awesome and the Chef came out to ask how everything was, nice touch! Great atmosphere perfect for a relaxing meal!!

    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.

    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.

It was a Friday night, we arrived around 8pm and the restaurant was so busy and full of life. Music was blasting, ranging from reggaeton, to regional mexicana/banda, to pop. The prices for the food and drinks were all super cheap as well, so we knew we'd be ordering multiple items. Probably the best item we had was the arrachera quesadilla (can't remember the actual name in the menu for it). Our waiter was a young guy, constantly coming by asking if we wanted to add on to our order. We had multiple rounds of tequila shots and some mixed drinks, but definitely felt like the liquor was watered down. Before we took off, we even danced a couple of songs, giving us a club feel. Overall we loved it so much we had decided to come back the following Tuesday with more family. Well....we were left so disappointed. Everything was completely different. We arrived around 10, figured it being a Tuesday before Christmas Eve, it wouldn't be too busy. It seems that it was a lot busier than the restaurant had expected because they were definitely understaffed. Our waiter probably took 20 minutes to come to us to take our drink order and when he finally did, he stood in one end of the table struggling to hear us from the opposite end over the loud music. Don't understand why he couldn't simply walk over to our side. We waited another 10 minutes to actually get the drinks and for him to come around again to take our food order. Since service was so slow, we tried going straight to the bar and get drinks there, but they wouldn't take our orders because they had to be placed with our waiter. Food was pretty much the same, with the exception of the kitchen running out of multiple items by 11:30. I would have given this place 5 stars on the first visit alone: cheap food and drinks (great food quality for the value), absolutely great ambiance and fast/attentive service. But because we came back again and had such terrible and slow service, I'm giving them 3 stars.

So I, of course, feeling the need always to explore new cocktail bars or restaurants in my hometown when visiting home, was pretty excited for the opportunity to check out Hush Hush. As a true millennial Gemini, I celebrate my birthday for the whole month, so I quickly texted my family and friends; this is where I wanted to go. What I love about Hush Hush is how it's encouraging and pushing folks to step out of their comfort zone in their attire and dress more to the vibes of this cocktail house (Think Soho, ABA, Casablanca, and Elephante). You're bound to see more desert tones, muted colors, flowy pants, basically anything resort wear. It's cool to see this cocktail house make you feel like you're not in El Paso. The music is different, more loungey, to where you can hear everyone at your table. Of course, there's still a DJ, but damn, Hush Hush is intentionally geared for those who love to go out but need top-shelf cocktails without the eye rolls or the bartenders staring at us with blank eyes. Hush Hush is a true game changer. The lines might get crazy, but I suggest getting there early so you can snag your photos and a solid table/spot. There are three main bar areas, but my fave was the velvet room. I suggest catching a drink on the second floor if you get there early enough to get an eagle eye's view of the establishment. Attention to detail was on point, and I appreciated the homework and research done before the opening of this spot. It's an elevated experience for the city and one I wish every city in the States had tbh.
