Good food but discrimatory valentine practice of giving roses to women with a partner and not all women. Single women are still women so low rating from me

I’ve been eating here for almost 30 years. The best steak fajita in town.

Family owned Mexican joint serving killer salsa, papusas and tamales. The portion sizes have gone down and the prices have gone up over the years but they are still slinging solid mexican American classics.

At home with Robin

Very surprised by the service I received tonight. Went here many times over the years. I called in my order and went to pick up. When I arrived no one was at the host stand. So I stood there and looked around. The waitresses looked at me and no one came to ask me if I needed help. For over 10 min I stood there and no one came. Then a white group of people came in and the waitress came right away to seat them and walked away. Then stood there again for 5 min before they came to me and asked if I needed something. Then I explained I was there for over 15 min and you even seated the people who came in long after me and I am just picking up food. I talked to the manager who said they dont serve ask questions when ppl are on the phone yet little does she know I was picking up for my sister who just gave birth and helping her and quickly needed to pick up her food. They wasted my time and treated me as if I didn't matter. Then when she opened the food which was 5 min away it was room temp ( chicken enchiladas, rice, beans) I will not return here again. The service was terrible and the manager on duty was okay with treating ppl who had been there many years with disregard.

Bad food, bad service. They add gratuity to the check without asking. Go elsewhere.

Always have a fantastic time at El Paso, but largely includes company and conversation. The restaurant has a decent size parking lot, with lots of seating inside. On the many visits, I've never had to wait more than two minutes to be seated. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Prices are typical menu prices at comparable restaurants. And the food...two of us tried completely new dishes and both loved what we ordered. I got the nacho fries with two beans and no meat, and the flavors literally burst on my tongue, it was so, so good! Highly recommend. Family is returning fairly soon and I've already asked to get a to-go order of that dish. In the past, I've gotten burritos, fajitas, or usual/standard dishes, which have all been delicious, but I like the creativity an established restaurant tried to shake things up a bit for their regular customers. I appreciate it. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

El Paso is always such a solid spot — great food, great atmosphere, and really good service. Jimmy especially deserves a shoutout! Super attentive, friendly, and just on top of everything without ever feeling rushed. You can tell he actually cares about making sure people have a good time. Definitely makes the whole experience even better. The whole staff was on it as it got busy, and all the food smelled incredible.

This place is really awesome. The staff was very friendly, food was delicious and the atmosphere was quite nice. I would recommend there carnitas tacos. Good prices and value. Definitely coming back again.
