Service and food is amazing. Reason for this score being so low is due to the very limited, almost zero parking. Had to park somewhere that I thought was safe to park and ended up getting towed.

If you’re anywhere near Clemson, do yourself a favor and stop by El Paso — this place is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, great energy, and that welcoming small-town charm that makes you feel instantly at home.
But the real star of our visit was Finley, the bartender. She was incredible — friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. She introduced us to Gaelic Ale, and wow… what a phenomenal recommendation! Smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — the kind of drink that makes you want to slow down and just enjoy the moment.
Finley’s personality truly elevated the whole experience. She made great conversation, offered thoughtful drink suggestions, and made sure every guest at the bar felt included and cared for. It’s rare to find someone who can blend professionalism and genuine friendliness so effortlessly.
Between the vibrant atmosphere, delicious drinks, and exceptional service, El Paso has become one of our new favorite spots in Clemson. Huge thanks to Finley for making our evening unforgettable — we’ll definitely be back soon!

El Paso is absolutely fabulous. We held a 25 person Clemson Ring Ceremony post celebration there. They were so kind and easy to work with. The staff and management were excellent and the food and drinks were delicious! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

We came because of the reviews but they really didn’t do this place justice. The food was amazingly good. To the point where we wanted to come back the next day. Service was to be as expected due to it being Family weekend at Clemson but our server was great. I feel bad because I don’t remember her name but she did a great job all things considered. She was African American with tats and a muscular build.

This location has been a few things, a pizza place, and Asian place, a college dance club. None of those were very good. El Paso has changed that. Great Mexican food. Very fresh, very nice staff and good margaritas too! The food is fresh and tastes homemade and very authentic. Big thumbs up!
