The hand rolled taquitos are amazing. The hamburgers are as good as mcdonalds. They charge for refills on drink. The service was mediocre. The woman who took our order was miserable, there order taking system is horrible and there is no direction.

Chicos tacos has been around for a long time. All of the restaurants used to be good however since the new stores opened and the old ones were closed, they just don't taste the same as they used to. Probably the best one in town is the one on Alameda and the second is Dyer street. The rolled tacos and the hot dog are the best in town for the price.

I've been going to Chicos tacos for 40 years and will travel from Albuquerque to El Paso to pick them up. I travel with a large cooler and stock up.wish they would add a location here in Albuquerque...

Atypical and unrefined "Mexican" cuisine will make your tastebuds dance and sing! If you don't like Chico's, you're likely not a native El Pasoan, thus your opinion doesn't matter. Best swimming flautas you'll ever have.

Oh yea this place is good. The 3 little tacos are like taquitos. Really good runny enchilada sauce on them with cheese on top served with crispy French fries. This place has been there forever and there's a good reason why. It was pretty busy too for a Tuesday afternoon. I will have to come back here again.,

They are not "Tacos" they are more like a greesy flauta. I would not recommend Chicos Tacos for a tourist. How embarrasing that poeple actually recommend this restuarant to out of town visitors.

I had heard so much about this place so when i was in town I had to try it out. Everyone said there were always lines out the door. There weren't the day I went and we got waited on right a way. Order at the counter then they bring it to you. We had the double which is 6 rolled tacos. Single order is three. Look just like the picture on TripAdvisor. Hard corn tortillas, rolled around chicken or ground beef topped with a lot of tomatoey souce and lots of cheese. Soak up the sauce to make the tacos easier to eat, then I was taught how the locals eat them. Fork in the end and bite off the other end. I must admit, they weren't my thing, but everyone else seemed to love them. But, its a place you have to try at least once.

Really bad nasty hard stale tasting tacos. They pour hot tomato sauce over them and top with yellow cheese. Should have bought a burger instead.

Very disappointed in this place. I wanted to like them, but just couldn't! The rolled up tacos are hard and stale tasting. Don't know what the big hype is, people giving the good reviews obviously don't t know the difference between good taquitos made with fresh tortillas and the really bad ones served at Chicos Tacos.
Been decades since I've been here! Visiting for a few days and had to stop here. Quick ordering service, place is clean and I always loved the fries here. The tacos don't taste the same from what I recall but still good and salsa was very good. I've satisfied my craving for chicos tacos!

Since I happened to be passing through El Paso, I thought I'd check out this iconic place that's been the latest rage on social media. I ordered the regular order of "tacos" which are actually rolled tacos or taquitos as one would normally call them. They come in a mild tomato sauce and packed with shredded cheese. I LOVE rolled tacos!! This combination was awesome. However, you do have to eat them fast if you don't want soggy taquitos. I contemplated ordering them separately from the sauce but really wanted to try it the OG way. I also ordered a side of crinkle cut French fries which were pretty good. One order my table got was cold, and soggy, but the other one hot and crispy. Someone in my group ordered a cheeseburger and raved how good it was! This place is cash only and they have an atm for your convenience if you forget. Oh, I almost forgot the best part........ They give you a spicy green sauce in soufflé cups when you get your food. You're gonna want to get extra of that sauce! I poured it all over my food and it made a huge difference! Soooo good!

I loved this place and made it a point to get there even being from New York. This restaurant did not disappoint. Friendly staff. Worth going.

There's a reason why I only come here after 2 am...People either love or hate Chico's Tacos. I'm slightly ashamed of my mad crush. Is this the best food in town? Nope. Does it hit the spot after a night on the town? Yep. If you don't like your $3 flautas drowned in spicy tomato soup and gov't chz, get a burger. They're also 3 bucks. Always friendly service. It's clean. It's inexpensive. And you can sit in the parking lot and watch the low riders cruise by the "NO CRUISING" signs.

First tacos and taquitos are two different things. Your taquitos were rolled. And that would have been fine if they tasted good. I asked the employee what the filling was and was told beef. The beef was flavorless, the tortilla tasted old. It was disgusting. The cheese didn’t help at all, the broth tasted like dishwater. Took two bites and threw it away. I was amazed at the number of guests eating them up. I really expected better tasting food especially since Fluffy recommended you.
