About The Tap Bar & Restaurant

The Tap Bar & Restaurant is a vintage, down-home dive bar and Mexican restaurant established in 1956. Located downtown, it is easily accessible from all sides of El Paso. On a Friday night at 6 PM, the Taproom is bustling with great musicians performing in Spanish, English, Latin music, and American country western. The food offerings include an excellent Taco de Res Deshebrada (shredded beef taco) with a thin, crisp grilled corn tortilla, a flavorful Enchilada with melted white cheese and ground meat in a mild red chile sauce, and a Chile Relleno (stuffed chile pepper) with a puffy, floury, thick egg batter. The Frijoles de Pinto (pinto beans) are creamy with melted jack cheese, and the Mexican Rice has an interesting acidic tomato sauce and oregano flavor. The famous nachos, especially the deshebrada nachos, are highly praised. While the margarita has been noted as a disappointment with weak, flat flavors, other items like burgers and wings offer good value for the price, providing generous portions that leave customers satisfied. Overall, the food is rated 3 out of 5, while the musical entertainment and karaoke night elevate the experience to 4 out of 5 stars. Customers appreciate the delicious and well-seasoned Mexican cuisine, along with the good service.
