I purchased a pernil plate with arroz and gandules that was amazing. While there I forgot my wallet and flew out first thing the next morning. The owner not only held the wallet but offered to mail it. I drove there and retrieved it but not only is this a reputable and authentic puertorican spot but the honesty, courtesy and professionalism is second to none. Come check it out for yourself. Thank you for showing what honesty, professionalism, courtesy and care looks like. Thank you 🙏🏽

This is crazy good food. If you're white like me and have no idea what to order, mufungo is essentially turkey stuffing made from plantains. WAYYYY HEALTHIER, get it with chicken, seafood, steak or pork. It's Puerto Rican food at its finest.

It saddens me to say that we did not enjoy returning to this restaurant. We had been here before and liked it. Today we had very bland food that seemed to have no seasoning. My daughter ordered the mofongo with chicken and garlic - there was no garlic or even salt. I ordered the mofongo con carne frita, no seasoning for the meat or mofongo or caldo de pollo. We ordered two triplets sandwiches to go and my husband and son said that they also lacked flavor. The waitress was nice and the atmosphere was great.

The food at this location is the best Latin cuisine I have tasted in all of El Paso, TX. I am originally from WPB, FL and am very familiar with Cuban and Puerto Rican flavors. This place hit my soul with how good the food was. I would recommend to anyone who is hankering for some of that Latin flavor.
Also be prepared as the staff only speak Spanish but honestly it adds to the authenticity of the place and most folks speak Spanish in El Paso. Also this is a Bar so it has that sports bar vibe with large TVs and tables.
Loved the food. The waitress that helped me was very kind, respectful and was very hospitable.
Waitress guided me on what had pork or ham and what did not. So kind…
A little bit of Puerto Rico in El Paso.
Thank Goodness.

During a recent visit to 787 Restaurant and Bar, I had the opportunity to experience a taste of Puerto Rico in the heart of El Paso. The restaurant’s name pays homage to the island’s area code, and from the moment I stepped inside, the ambiance reflected a thoughtful effort to capture the spirit and warmth of Puerto Rican culture.
For my meal, I ordered mofongo con camarones, accompanied by a side of arroz y habichuelas. The mofongo—a traditional dish made of mashed green plantains—was well-executed, with a firm yet tender texture and a subtle garlic flavor that paired nicely with the generous serving of sautéed shrimp. The camarones were fresh, perfectly cooked, and complemented by a flavorful sofrito-based sauce that elevated the dish without overpowering the mofongo.
The arroz y habichuelas (rice and beans), a staple in Puerto Rican cuisine, were a satisfying addition. The rice was well-cooked and fluffy, while the beans were seasoned just right, with hints of adobo and sazón coming through in each bite. The balance between the two elements showed attention to traditional preparation methods and an understanding of authentic flavor profiles.
Service was courteous and attentive throughout my visit, and the dining atmosphere was clean and inviting, with tasteful decor that celebrates Puerto Rican heritage.
Overall, 787 Restaurant and Bar delivers a commendable culinary experience for anyone seeking Puerto Rican cuisine in El Paso. The quality of the food, combined with thoughtful presentation and a warm dining environment, makes it a standout destination for both newcomers to the cuisine and those longing for a taste of home.

My wife ordered to go 3 alcapurrias, 3 empanadillas de pizza & plate with chuletas with arroz mamposteao. The rice and chuletas were good. But all 3 of the alcapurrias were UNDERCOOKED. She call and they offered either a refund or re do them but she didn’t have time to go back so she opted for the refund. Based on the menu the alcapurrias were $4.25 each so refund should have been $12.75 but she only got $10 back. 🫠

Ordered 70 dollars worth of food to pick up and they got it all wrong. Ordered three plates of breaded chicken but got dry chicken that was baked and all clumped up together. Meat was dry and you could literally pick it up with the fork. And ordered sweet plantains but gave us regular fried plantains instead.
Update: As customers that’s orders the same plates via pickup/delivery from this place at least a few times a month. This recent experience will be our last. The man that is on the phone is very unprofessional. Talks nicely but gaslights you. Insisted that he didn’t make no mistakes taking the order over the phone. We’ve never had an issue until this order, and mistakes happens sometimes but instead of just resolving the issue he gave a “I took your order down right, there’s nothing I can do” and gave a it is what it is type attitude and no resolution to it. We’ve always stuck to our fav plates the breaded chicken or the Cuban sandwich but this man was so firm that it was garlic chicken that was ordered, which we didn’t even know they had on their menu. Regardless for $70, the chicken was dry and bland as you could see from the picture. A simple “hey let’s make it right” could’ve changed the direction of the conversation on the phone but all we got was “there’s nothing I can do”.
