“great entertainment as well. we love Abby Bellmer“

“Nice place. Good drinks, so so food. Had a nice time with the wife“

“Charlie and Ari are both highly skilled in the mixology department! From the egg white whiskey sours, carajillos & the most beautiful (& delicious) gin fizz ive ever had *big umph on the fizz!* everything was absolutely stellar. Also, a dope atmosphere & quality vinyl music on to boot. Definitely making this my after work hang. 💞“

“Although they sometimes have snacks, this bar doesn't serve food, but does allow outside food, just not outside drinks. The price per person depends on what each individual is drinking. They do have sodas for the designated driver.
There is Karaoke every Friday and Saturday.“

“Ended up downtown after a strenuous hike and was looking for a different vibe. Walking in this establishment was absolutely beautiful. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and it didn't take long to get waited on. Alex, my server, offered many recommendations on light choices and popular drinks. This restaurant swaps out their menu based on the time of day, but some remain, if the customer ask. The whole experience was worth it and I will be going back to try another dish.“

“I love incredibles! Great staff and great patrons. My favorite neighborhood dive bar. My only complaint is the air conditioning. I come here very often during the fall/winter since the temperature feels great but, reduce the amount of times I come in during the summer due to the air conditioner issue. I also really like the new POS system that they have. Thanks for the great service and fun times! Karaoke night on Friday nights are always super fun!“

“So if you don't know.. this place and all the places around this area are lgbtq. I'm not from here so I didn't know.
. Had one drink before I realized and had to bounce. Just want to make sure everyone else knows what kind of bar they are going to. Nothing wrong with the service though although the drink are on the weaker side. Good luck out there.“

“Amazing place! Just passing through but would def come back!“

“We would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make our daughter’s quinceañera so special! A heartfelt thank you to our amazing coordinator—your support and organization made everything run smoothly. The entire staff that night was wonderful, and we truly appreciate all your hard work. Special thanks to Nancy and Daniel—we’re so grateful for everything you did! The Martinez Family 💗“

“Great little bar. First time there and it was great.“

“This is absolutely like visiting your Grandma’s house! The food is amazing, the drinks are great, and the people running it are so friendly! If you are looking for something spectacular look no further, I will be back!“

“On Wednesday night I participated in my first porn shoot. Food porn that is. 😂. Evaga Desert Kitchen (agave backwards) which is located behind The Elmont and adjacent to the water park in The Montecillo hosted a food tasting which turned out to be the biggest orgy of flavors in my 48yrs of life. To start off I had the Compressed Watermelon topped with goat cheese and almonds. They take a large chunk of watermelon and compress it so as the remove the air and allow for a flesh that is both savory, and tremendously juicy. The goat cheese added a nice zesty and sour contrast to the sweetness of the watermelon. I didn’t know goats made cheese but they’ve replaced the memonitas as my favorite cheese makers. Next up was the crab cakes. A mixture of potato and crab sautéed with arugula and topped with a delicious chipotle aioli. The cake was crunchy on the outside and tender, meaty and delicious on the inside. Definitely the kinda crabs you would be grateful to receive ❤️❤️❤️ And then came the entreès. First up the Arrachera served with broccolini, potato’s and carrots. If not prepared correctly skirt steak can be tough and chewy due to all the connective tissue. Well this particular steak was nothing of the sort. The Arrachera was soft and tender, taking only about two or three chews with eat chew bursting with flavor. Basically it’s a party in your mouth and nobody’s calling the cops this time. The veggies were good. But they’re sidekicks, they’re Robin to the Arracheras Batman. Enough said. Next up was my absolute favorite. The Margarita Pizza. Yes the pizza was my favorite, and no I’m not a 12yr old child. I honestly do not eat a lot of pizza. If you look on my page you might only see one pizza review, EVER! . Pizza is just not my thing. But the Margarita was my favorite because of the incredibly fresh ingredients and how refreshing each bite was. The pizza consists of fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, basil and a drizzled with a nice balsamic vinaigrette. Fresh ingredients are heavenly, and that’s truly what this pizza was. The fresh mozz was a perfect combination of saltiness, chewiness and flavor. The pizza was basically a caprese on a delicious thin crust. And I love caprese to by the way. The simplicity, freshness, and out of this world flavor are what made this pizza my absolute favorite dish of the night. The Creation of Adam, The Mona Lisa, and Starry Night are all considered masterpieces by the artistic world. Well on Wednesday night Chef Freedom painted several masterpieces worthy of The Louvre. His energy and talent breathe a fresh air of excitement to El Paso’s foodie scene. Be sure to take advantage of his talents while he’s still here. It’s just a matter of time til the big cities come beckoning. And as always remember to always support local over national #supportlocal“

“Muy delicioso! Y el ambiente estaba muy bien. Servicio espectacular!“

“Cait was so sweet and had great customer service, I am definitely coming back!“

“We love Little Shack! We come at least 3 times a month and always ask for Jasmine at the Montwood location. She has been the best waitress we’ve ever had. She’s sweet, attentive, and always provides amazing service. Definitely recommend eating at Little Shack and make sure to ask for Jasmine!“

“Very friendly and inviting. Bartender was fabulous!! Very personable & attentive. Great Cabernet Sauvignon and perfect espresso martini 🤤 great place to chill and enjoy the vibe“

“I left a bit disappointed during my recent visit to one of my favorite restaurants. I ordered the $18 hamburger which was supposed to come with a half order of fries, but the portion I received looked closer to 1/8 of a serving, and the patty was super well done almost charrred. .To be clear, I did bring this to the server’s attention, and the plate pictured was indeed mine. While I truly enjoy this restaurant and often recommend it, I believe it’s important to be consistent and fair in my reviews.“

“Excelente food, presentation and service.“

“The bar has a nice mixture of old world bar with chic flair. Such a wonderful place to have wonderful conversations or just chill with family and have board games. The bartender/mixologist handcrafts each drink and each one hits it's mark. Truly each drink is a work of art. If you love a quality cocktail with a wonderful ambiance this is a must.“

“Had a great time at Zocalo Cantina! The service was fast, and the staff was super attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. The music was fantastic, really adding to the lively atmosphere. As a realtor here in El Paso, I love finding places with great service and a fun vibe, and Zocalo Cantina hit the mark.

Overall its a good place to hang out to watch the games , karaoke, and they have a pool table which is pretty neat , pool games are a dollar as well , good ??“

“for me is the atmosphere/karaoke, the food, and the friendly people starting with Claudia“

“The Overpour was EASILY one of the best venues I’ve gone to in El Paso. The service was fast, professional and friendly. The ambiance was second to none.“

“Husband and I love to eat at this place when we are visiting from San Antonio. Food is delicious, atmosphere is upbeat, owners are very friendly and accommodating, and music makes you want to dance!!!! Unfortunately we are only there during the week, otherwise we would be dancing to that great music on weekends!!“

“Beautiful and great atmosphere“

“Friendly service and cold beer 🍻“

“Black Orchid is fabulous! The food, atmosphere, and staff are 5 out of 5 stars. Cindy, Jasmine, and Ethel (front house) are friendly and went above and beyond. Recommendation is go more than once so you can try the menu… Sunshine Snapper, Shrimp Ceviche, Dukunu Shrimp are great choices“

“Excelente food, presentation and service.“

“The music, drinks, food and the staff. The owners have a great relationship with the customers.“

“El domingo mi familia y yo fuimos al brunch, eramos como 15 personas y nunca aviamos conosido el lugar. Pues estava muy delisioso y nos atendieron super bien, el lugar estava muy bonito quedamos muy satisfechas.“

“the best ambiance and drinks. love the service and the feel of the place. super friendly the music is great.“

“The burgers and fries are amazing and you can tell it's what they put there heart in to. We loved the meat and the spices they used and the buns. I could not put the burger down. We ordered some Mac and cheese that was not worth the price for the flavor. It was bland and lacked flavor. But that burger made up for the disappointment of the Mac and cheese.

Kid-friendliness: There is booths and tables to accommodate families with kids but not to many.“

“Shrimp quesadillas are to die for. Best I ever had. Very filling. This spot is amazing and very comfy. Great for lunch or an evening dinner. Kinda small hut that adds to the ambiance. Have never had a bad experience or service. Fish tacos are amazing as well. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. This place is good all the time not just for lent. Check it out.“

“Went there for a quick drink and light bites! Sat at the bar and the service was great! My bartender/server (didn’t catch his name) was attentive and great at what he does. Very accommodating and made one of the best strawberry margaritas I’ve ever had, not too sweet and plenty strong and perfect hint of fresh strawberry flavor!

I ordered the fried oysters and two of the fried fish tacos! Fried oysters were ok! Could be a lil plumper oysters, but crispy. However the highlight has to be the fried fish tacos omggg the fish was huge and so flakey and moist and tender. With the chipotle aioli it was perfect!! Almost ordered a 3rd one!!!“

“Fuimos un grupo de 7 personas y nos gustó mucho la comida y atención. Muy recomendable.“

“Best burger EVER! I had the Blue Fox Burger, and it was fantastic. So many beers on tap that it'll take several visits to try them all. The service was super good. Sydney was our server, and she made us all feel right at home. We'll absolutely be back!“

“From the moment you walk in, Thyme exudes class and sophistication. We started our dining experience with the caviar and a glass of wine from their expansive wine cellar collection and it was amazing! Our server, was very attentive and knowledgeable, making our evening truly memorable. Highly recommend!“

“What an amazing place. I had the pleasure to dine here and the food, staff, and environment was great. I highly recommend this place while visiting El Paso.“

“The food and atmospere, but truly the reservation policies really Suck. Management does not care about the customers. Its a tiny place and searing is uncomfortable.“

“Bartenders, I know that you are super busy, but keep up with a line or who got there first, 2nd, 3rd, "I'll be with you in a minute " helps. Waiting on a drink while aggressive people jump to the front is a draaag. Also, a water dispenser helps people stay sober and to drive safely, and avoid standing in line, and the Bartender can serve actual drinks. Musicians play better when the sound guy doesn't have an attitude.“

“Great service and food!! Amazing cocktails!!“

“Hoy lo mire en la tele al viejon, I quiero probar el producto aver si ta bueno, Saludos desde Fort Worth Texas, Sinceramente Christopher martin rodriguez Dueño de Royal empire company llc CEO Simran roy“
