Went for a family dinner - some of the worst food I’ve ever had! Gorditas were hard as a rock, tacos served cold, tasted the cheeseburger and it was a flavorless hockey puck - I’m not going back - this used to be THE PLACE over a decade ago but not anymore and it’s very expensive plus mediocre service, an added “room fee” to the bill? Skip it there is waaay better Mexican food in the region

I visited Little Diner in Canutillo recently and was unfortunately met with a very serious health issues after eating their spicy chili pork gorditas. Within a few hours, I experienced severe stomach pain, nausea, dehydration symptoms, and digestive upset. These are classic signs of foodborne illness, and based on the timing, it points to potential issues with how the food was handled or stored.
I understand that restaurants can have off days, but food safety is not negotiable—especially when it puts a customer’s well-being at risk. I urge management to review their kitchen practices and staff training immediately.
I’m sharing this not to attack the business, but to caution others and hopefully encourage the restaurant to take proper corrective action. I truly want to support local spots, but I cannot recommend this place until serious improvements are made.

Whenever I'm in that part of town I like to stop by. It's good and the chips and salsa have an option of cheese with the salsa or should I say salsa with the cheese and I have not seen that in a while. It was good! Getting there was tricky through the small neighborhood streets. But I managed to park my big truck across the street anyway. They also have the little mini ice ball cubes which are nicer than the commercial big ice cubes.

The Little Diner never disappoints. Wholesome homemade cooking, like mom used to make. The service is 2d to none.

This place has really gone down hill and has been headed that way for a long time. I ordered 3 meat gorditas to eat in, not one was crispy. A soggy mess. I told the server and he said sorry. I had already ordered 6 to go figuring the 3 were a fluke. Opened the container at home and it was worse than the soggy mess at the restaurant. Was gonna freeze them for later but jas to throw them away. Just fell apart when I.picked them up. Never, ever going back. It's way past it's prime and should be shut down. Long gone are the days when the original owner took pride in their product. This.owner

These gorditas are amazing. The beef is so good and that bean one! Omg yes please. The staff has always been amazing. This is the first place I go when I get to El Paso and the last place before I go home to Az. The salsa is so good and spicy its a must.

One of my favorite places!! It is always delicious and we eat here every time I fly into El Paso before heading to visit family in New Mexio. Will be excited to bring my husband for the first time in August!
Xay was our server and did a great job, super kind and had a sweet personality! I had the guacamole, bean and cheese burrito and horchata. Everything was great. Left with a belly full

The chicken tacos are pretty good; so are their chips and queso. Their salsa is spicy!
