The Most Scrumptious Restaurants in El Paso

"Overall experience was a 9.9 out of 10. The food was excellent to service was great. Love the music. The atmosphere the bartenders were great at mixing drinks."

"The food was awesome! The local beef in the burger was most defiantly, better then most places we have ever been too in AZ! We meet the new owners and were kindly treated like old friends. The place has a small town feel that is very welcoming un like other places we tried. Also try the ice cream if your in the area, defiantly not the average same that everybody serves. We ate at this restaurant twice on are stay in southern AZ, and will be coming back. A real hidden gem, give them a try and you will know what I mean!"

"The museum was closed for renovation when we came. There was one very nice Native American store that was open. The people are very nice. I am sorry we missed the museum. It is such a shame how our forefathers took from them."

"Murphy's is a corner lot gas station.Gas, air pump, washer fluid, beer, Icees, soft drinks, tobacco, lotto tickets, and candy-bars. Pretty cut and dry; nothing to turn you away from coming back but nothing that warrants a 'wow' factor review."

"On a recent trip to ELP to visit my Mom, this was one of the last places we tried, and one of the better places IMHO. La Dona has a very big menu selection. I came here for the chicken tortilla soup. I wasnt let down. The wait staff was fast and friendly. There is a cute cafe vibe. Also there is a group of regulars that gives the place an added warm feeling to it. Though we came for breakfast, we all ordered lunch stuff. I opted for the chile rellenos. Yum! Kids both got chicken flauta plates. My Mom said she wasnt too hungry but managed to clean her plate just fine :-)Next trip to ELP, I am coming back !!"

"Although the parking is extremely limited I beg you to disregard that and enter this fabulous space. The decor reminds me of a quiet bistro. No music, no TVs! Upon entering you see the open kitchen at the far end. The decor is minimalist but still lovely. The bathroom is pristine! I just could not decide what I wanted to order so I chose the Carrot/Ginger Soup and Red Bell Pepper Tartare. Once my food started arriving I knew this was a restaurant I would be visiting often, at least to give everything on the menu a go. I rarely take photos of my food but these menu items were so spectacularly perfect I could not help taking the photos so I could continue to enjoy thinking about what I ate. Onto my meal:The Carrot/Ginger was wonderful. Lush and smooth it was beautifully prepared. It is the only soup on the menu but it was a stand out. Next let me tell you about the tartare: I have enjoyed many tartares in my time, be it steak, salmon or numerous other ingredients but I had never had a vegetable tartare. This was wonderfully presented and scooping up mouthfuls with the crispy lavash was great. Very flavorful. Lastly, I generally do not order sweets because as the name suggests they are sweet. The Canelé de Bordeaux was the perfect little bite. Not overly sweet but again a beautiful little treat. We should gather together, hire a bus and come here to relax, eat wonderfully prepared and presented food and just discuss all we are eating! Who's with me on this?"

"ALWAYS FOR THE BROS (AND LADY BROS)PSA: SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!In a time of mass quarantine, my only regret is never learning how to make delicioso Mexican food. While I could have taken this time to learn, it is much easier to leave it to the professionals. With a vast menu with endless meats, I come to you live from my home in El Paso to talk about Dos Bros Mexican Kitchen (who also happens to have excellent customer service). If you have a craving for tacos, carne asada fries, and more, then this one is for you. In the meantime, stay safe, eat merrily, and enjoy your life...at home of course! Andale pues!The FOOD: FEAST OF EVERYTHINGBarbacoa (slow cooked beef) Tacos: CARNE MAS RICOS-VERY RICH MEATSBarbacoa flows through these tortillas like rich blood in a carnivore's veins. Each bite is intensified by deep, umami flavors of slow cooked beef with the appropriate spices. You see the strands of lean meat, but taste the full fattiness and beefiness that coats your tongue. The meat is a bit salty, but is perfect with the seasoned Mexican rice, fresh and minty cilantro, spicy kick of the white onion, and tangy and refreshing lime. What I love about this barbacoa is that it is not too greasy (there was little to no grease in the container!). Al Pastor (grilled, marinated pork) Tacos: BLESSED BY THE PIGA pig sacrificed to enrich us needs to be properly blessed, and the chefs have blessed up with Al Pastor. Sweet, tangy, umami, salty, and everything else that takes your taste buds into ecstasy. Not too much grease, which is always a blessing (shout out to my coronary arteries!) especially when the flavor is still alive. The grilled green onions pairs well with the cilantro to provide a herbal earthiness that balances the intense Al Pastor. The Mexican rice just puts everything together and feels like home away from home. Deshebrada (brisket) Gordita: THE TEX-ICAN ESSENTIAL: CORN + BRISKETFirst thing you notice is the rich golden colors of the gordita, then you notice the crunch. The brisket provides the robust and clean beefiness, while the corn gordita provides sweetness. The lettuce pairs with the crunch of the gordita and matches well with the fresh tomatoes. There is thick helping of white cheese that provides the ooey-gooeyness that we all know and love. Great palate cleanser for those who want a break from overly greasy Mexican food.Steak Fries: CRAVINGS PERSONIFIEDThick fries with a crunch on the outside and fluffiness on the inside (is this not the dream?). With a rich layer of white cheese, these Steak Fries achieve a chewy richness that anyone would love. Sour cream and guacamole add more moisture, creaminess, and freshness to these fries to truly make it a party. Pico de gallo adds a fresh tanginess alongside the jalapenos that add some spiciness to really get you addicted. Carne asada adds a meaty beefiness also. However, the fries and carne asada seem too lightly salted and make these Steak Fries a little bland (-0.5 star).Carne Asada Burrito: TEX-ICAN ESSENTIAL part 2: CARNE ASADA + TORTILLAQuick and simply a tortilla filled with a generous portion of carne asada. Definitely the perfect match for the meat and carbs lovers or anyone who needs a quick and filling meal. The meat is flavorful and just chew enough. Add some sauces if you need more than just meat and tortilla. The VERDICT: VIVA LAS CARNES!If this was the last meal that I had on Earth, I would not even complain. But my only regret would be not having a second serving, which I definitely would do. Dos Bros Mexican Kitchen specializes in the meats, like a physician specializes in medicine. These doctors of the meats put together rich, tasty Mexican classics as well as modern Mexican-American interpretations like carne asada fries. They are generous with the salsa to-go as well as ketchup and any other sauces. Al Pastor Tacos exploded with a rich tangy, sweet, umami, meaty, grilled flavor that only gets better with the grilled onions. Barbacoa Tacos have a rich beefiness that would make any beef lover fall in love again. Steak Fries had crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside fries, but the fries and carne asada were a bit undersalted and made them seem bland. Carne Asada Burrito and Brisket Gordita were classics that were filling and not too overwhelming. Overall, I love how the food was not too greasy and enjoyed how they had close attention to detail to all their dishes. I was very satisfied and I will definitely be back."

"The food was great quality and the service was quick. There is alot of table room so you'll be seated right away. I look forward to going back!"

"This is my favorite place in the Northeast for ceviche. Each order is a heap of avocado chunks, carrot slivers, diced tomatoes, either shrimp or fish chunks and plenty of lime all settled atop of a crisp corn tortilla. They're served with hot salsa and extra tortilla chips to scoop up all that fresh goodness. My coworker always orders the fish fillet sautéed in garlic and he raves about it. Each plate contains a lightly browned crispy fish fillet, side order of fries, shredded lettuce and toasted buttered bolillo bread. The prices are low and service is good. The staff are primarily Spanish speaking and they move quick. They just recently began accepting debit and credit cards, it was formerly cash only. The space is small but we've always found seating. Circulation is poor and it tends to be muggy on hot days. Parking is on the side of the building and only accommodates around 5 vehicles. Still stands as one of my top favorites for cool ceviche tostadas and an ice cold Coca-Cola."

"Loved this lovely Inn. We arrived late and was offered dinner and wine on the house. The hosts Alice and Celeste was so nice and friendly and made you feel at home. The tour of the Church was so interesting. Truly a place you want to stay when passing thru Hatch."

"Our favorite go to if you want a chill vibe and good beer on tap. Our favorite appetizers are the chicken wings and mushrooms with bacon and green chili Yum!!"

"Pizza portal and no interaction? Usually that's not a good thing but at this time it's a necessity. Ordered and got a message that my order was ready. Sent the kiddo in and she said it's not ready. No one acknowledged her and I went in. The screen said my order was ready but the slot was empty. I asked the girl at the counter and she checked and let me know it was still not ready. 5 minutes later manager asked if i needed anything...ummm yes my order? I told him and showed him the app said it was ready he turned around and my order was coming out. Got home and my order was....perfect! This is the first time I've ever had a slight bump with them and with everything going on I'd say it was just that a little mix up. Being on lockdown Dr's orders I'll order delivery next time but this is my favorite Little Caesar's location. It's clean friendly and great product coming out."

"The food's really good here, the people are really nice. They give you big proportions of food for the price you pay. And the service is very nice and the bathrooms were great and the food was excellent"

"I wish I knew what they use as the rib rub, it's fantastic. So good that I had it catered for the guys on my job site. Everybody was impressed. Their unique coleslaw, and green chili mac & cheese or above board."

"Union Drafthouse is a great place for amazing food and great drinks. All the staff are friendly and great ambience."

"EAT HERE. The food here is AMAZING. I tried both the carne asada and barbacoa, and a pastry. Everything was so so good. Great prices, friendly staff. What more could you want?"

"This review is for Food City's Barbacua from the deli. They sell some really good Barbacua and while you are at the store pick up some chile del árbol to prefect the taco."

"Homemade food, friendly service, hometown feel. Owner Miguel very welcoming. Our morning just got off to an awesome start. Highly recommend this restaurant."

"Melanie did amazing pedicures for me and my daughter. I had the spa pedi and my daughter the kid one.Very happy with our pedis. Great prices. Melanie was very nice and professional. Would certainly return to her again.I'm not from the area and I'm used to wearing masks, physical distancing etc, but just a head's up... no one wears masks here. It's not required by the state and only recommended. We felt safe as the pedi room is separate from the salon and my daughter and I wore our masks and we were one of the first people there in the morning."

"Good selection of liquor, beer, wine, groceries, and cigarettes. Tito's, Jack Daniels, Johnny Walker, Patron, White Claw, Truly, Bud, Heineken, Dos Equis, Shiner, etc. Good prices, locally owned, friendly service."

"Just opened across from El Dorado HS. Service: friendly and helpfulDecor: casual with some cool wall mural art. -Serrano Shrimp Ceviche Tostada: fresh and delicious but not spicy at all. -Broth soups: a little fishy and too salty for me, but good portion size-Green Chili California Shrimp tacos: pretty goodWilling to go back and try more here."

"great teachers as well as front desk staff! The classrooms are separated by age groups and they keep the rooms extremely clean. they have activities throughout the day and it's a classroom setting ambiance. They have a large cafeteria where the cooks make food from scratch everyday . This place opens at 6am and closes at 6pm... Great for working parents. They have a nice baby classroom and they treat them like If they were their own. they have separate playgrounds in the back of the building for younger and older kids. they host end of the year programs and even have a thanksgiving performance and luncheon for the parentsAnd family. This place is awesome and worth it. as a new person in town I give this place two thumbs up! My son has been going for 2 years now and we love it. They actually even have kindergarten as an option. great place ."

"This place is conveniently located close to my house which is a great plus!! The yogurt is good and my kids get the same thing every time we go. However, today when I pulled up to the drive-thru I saw the worker looked right at us from the front but didn't come out to help. There were no customers inside. So I reversed the car to ring the bell. She did not look like she wanted to be there. Maybe she was having a bad day. Who hasn't had a bad day? Anyways, when I asked for a taro boba tea she said they didn't have the chewy tapioca balls. It seems like every time I go here they are out of the tapioca balls. Smh I am not sure how many customers they served daily but don't you check your supply to make sure you aren't low on something that would make the drink complete? She still asked if I wanted the drink without the tapioca balls? Um, no thanks. Like I said it's a hit or miss with the boba drinks here but the yogurt is good. I would prob find another boba place to satisfy my thirst instead of getting it there."

"Besides what others have said, Yes, this place is a winner. A true cocktail lounge experience. A few of us from town nearby went for the music & dancing, which is every Saturday night. Really want this place to make it!!!"

"I grew up with Cooper's Texas pit bbq as my definition of true bbq. But now everything has changed with Brantley Creek! And it's just down the street from my house instead of several hours away - which is a culinary relief but a financial concern because it's all we want to eat!Our favorites are the moist brisket, sausage, fries, jalapeño creamed corn, and brisket beans. Although, to be honest, there's not anything on the menu that's anything but heavenly! Including the variety of iced teas!The staff is super helpful if you have any questions or need something specific due to dietary needs as well. If you prefer the burnt ends or extremely lean, they will work hard to get it for you if they have it! But they run out fast so get there in time to get what you want! We have often had dinner at 3PM to make sure we get plenty as well as get food to-go! It's worth it!Despite the demand and crowd combined with open air concept, they keep all the tables, condiments, and drink station SPOTLESS! And there's never any food on the playground or corn hole. I don't know how they do it but I'll pay double if they can come clean my house after or at least show me their magic tricks!!!"

"Great customer service, nice friendly family owned business! I would recommend to anyone needing a storage unit."

"When we walked into Habanero's, we were really confused because we thought it would be a regular table service type of restaurant. It was actually order at the counter and take a number set up. But, that was ok. We tried their mahi mahi fish tacos and enchilada Del Mar. Both entrees were absolutely amazing. We can taste the authenticity of the food. Rice and beans were also delicious; we almost licked the plate. Will be back again for sure. Highly recommend!!"

"As many times I have been here, surprised that I never left a review. The meals are great as well as the service. You can choose l your order as its cooked over the grill in front of you, sushi, eggrolls, or another selection on the menu. The food is very healthy as well.Make sure you come with an appetite since it can be a lot of food for one person. Then the chefs are very good as they spend time practicing their cooking skills. It is always a good show. You may have to make reservations since the restaurant is packed."

"I saw the Formula food truck at two farmers markets in the westside. I've been curious to try them for a few months. I was finally able to try them at the Country Club Farmers Market recently and I'm glad I did! They have a pretty extensive menu of various teas and smoothies, along with slushes. They also have ice cream, waffles and shaved ice. I got a pina colada slush and I liked it. It could have used just a little bit more flavor but I still liked it. Maybe more coconut or pineapple juice? My bf got a coconut boba tea. He said it was strong but he liked it. I also wanted to try their Taiyaki fish-shaped waffles. They were super good! You get three of them per order. They can be filled with cheesecake, Nutella or red bean. I chose cheesecake and Nutella. I'm not really a fan of red bean. The waffles also come with a side of vanilla ice cream drizzled in chocolate syrup. There's also banana and strawberry slices on the side! This was delicious! I didn't mind the 15 or 20 minute wait. The total for the three items was $18 and change. It was worth it. The young lady who was helping me out was really nice and polite. I would definitely order from again. I read on social media that they also opened a shop inside of Cielo Vista Mall recently. I'm down to trying it! I'm going to say 4.5 stars for this transaction. This time I'm not rounding up."

"First impression on the service was not awesome. Arrived right at opening on a quiet Sunday morning. I stood there in front of the hostess for more than 5 minutes before she acknowledged my presence. My order was simple, but I requested point brisket instead of flat. She told me "you get the cut that you get". They won't accompany this request. This really rubbed me wrong. What bbq joint won't let you specifically have point if you request it?The food: the brisket was delicious. Absolutely excellent fat rendering and flavor. They did bring me only point meat which was appreciated. The sausage was very good but not really stand-out. The pork ribs had an excellent flavored and textured bark, but unfortunately were way undercooked. I'm not a "fall off the bone" guy at all, but these were still densely stuck to the bone (see my pic). I do think ribs should retain enough structure to see a bite mark, but the bone should not still be adherent to the meat like this. Too bad bc the flavor was delicious.I highly recommend the side dishes. The green chili cheese rice was delicious and the macaroni was also awesome. The cornbread was very good. Zero complaints about side dishes. Overall, I would give this place for stars for the reasons above. It was certainly three star service, and pork ribs (maybe I just got an undercooked sample). 5 stars for the brisket and sides. 4 stars for the sausage."

"If I was judging solely by the wines that I tried, this review would easily be 2 stars. But their charming estate, casual atmosphere, and fun company is what earns them 3 stars. Decided to do some wine tasting while I was in the area, and La Viña was my first winery stop for the day. The first thing that caught my eye was their charming little estate. I've seen grander estates, but this one was the most charming out of all the wineries that I visited in the area. It was also neat to learn that La Viña is New Mexico's oldest winery. I loved the brick arch near the entrance and their cute double balcony in the front. Inside is cozy and bright with mustard colored walls and wine barrels with glass overlays set as little tasting tables. They also have a huge lawn space in the back where they host several large events during the year. They conduct their tastings by pre-poured flights which costs $10 for 3 tastes. The pours are pretty generous and you can choose what wines you want to try. Service was pretty slow at the counter, but they only had 2 wine stewards working that day, so not sure if they were just short staffed. Since I had never tried their wines before, I asked for suggestions on certain varietals. Neither of the ladies could really describe or recommend anything in particular to me. This was disappointing, but I just braved it and picked out what sounded like the best for my taste.I tasted there Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, and Cab Franc. The Gewürz and Chard were way too sweet for my liking. It was almost syrupy like. The Gewürz was more on the floral end whereas the Chard was buttery. They weren't terrible, but not really my style. The Cab Franc was really, really light. I'd say even lighter than a Pinot which is unusual. It did have a nice earthy tone to it. Overall, I just wasn't all of that impressed. Even for table wine, I wouldn't purchase any of the wines that I tried. Their saving grace in my opinion was the friendly patrons in the wine bar. I met some really sweet people and we chatted for most of the time that I was there. People are really friendly here and this makes the atmosphere enjoyable. So for the social aspect, this is a nice place to chill and hang out. But when it comes to the actual wine and service, it's not all that impressive."

"How refreshing! I called Las Cruces Plumbing and Gas to fix my gas line in my food truck as well as a burst pipe. What nice guys Isaiah and Justin. They came, fixed both, were on time, kind, friendly and got the job done. My grill is working!!! Water is flowing in the house. Thank you guys. I will definitely call them again."

"Was hanging out with a buddy at a bar on the Eastside after work on a Tuesday. I was notified that there was a food truck. It was called Lunchbox El Pelon. Ordered the asada nachos along with an order of Birria tacos (being taco Tuesday) unfortunately the birria were not sold individually at a $1.50 but sold by an order of 4. Starving as I was I placed the order. The asada nachos were great. Could have used a little more asada meat for my liking but they were very tasty. Then came the birria tacos. They were starved with a small cup of salsa and the birria juice. Those were some good tacos. Never tasted birria tacos so good. I highly recommend this food truck. If I see them at a different location I'm stoping for those tacos. Great job. Thank you"

"Los Mariachis is awesome. I highly recommend anything with their green chile sauce. The drive thru is also very convenient and they are fast with your food. Get the burrito banado and expensive heaven in your mouth. Two thumbs up!"

"YES YES, Freda is expensive. Let's call that the Marfa Markup TM. It's not just here; it's the entire town. Wife and walked up and down the main drag doing some shopping, drinking, and dining. She liked a couple of items when we visited ultimately sending me back over from Alpine the next day to buy what she wanted. A natural cut amethyst (HUGE) set in a black and white ceramic base. She wore it to dinner that very evening at the Century Bar and Grill grinning from ear to ear. Staff was friendly on both visits; will return next visit to find another bauble to keep the wife happy."
