Order breakfast and the bacon, sausage and ham on the plate was burned. The staff seemed like they were too busy to check on us even though the restaurant was empty.

Good local Mexican food restaurant on El Paso's west side. Used to come here regularly before I moved out of El Paso. Still a good place. Had the Mexican Plate and loved the taco and the rellano. Service was a little slow but it was lunch time. Would recommend anyone looking for Mexican food on the westside to stop by and check it out.

My wife and I and some friends stopped by for a morning meal. The place was busy, we were promptly sat at a table, we ordered our meal and drink - in a short while, were promptly served. As We waited we listened to a young guitarist who played and sang very well. All of our dishes were beautifully prepared and were all delicious.

Since I moved to El Paso years ago, I have always enjoyed eating here. The service ia good and the food is even better. You can't go wrong eating here.

Hadn't been to Ay Caramba since before COVID. We were pleasantly surprised that our visit was excellent! Service was fast and even though it was busy, our server was attentive and friendly. The salsa and chips were brought out right away and were very good. We had an appetizer of Queso Fundido and it was spot on! Our meals of the Ay Caramba Combo and Mexican plate came soon after and were not only fresh and beautifully plated, they were delicious! Restaurant was clean and they had multiple TVs on with varying sportscasts, while Mexican music was lightly playing in the background. Great authentic Mexican food with awesome service. Would definitely recommend everyone try it out.

It was early evening when we continued our search for good mexican food in this area. The place was almost empty that should have been an indicator. I also neglected to consult the all mighty Yelp. Had I payed halfway attention or done my due diligence in checking in my fellow Yelpers I would not have ever taken part. The place was rather large and was not that clean, the floor was dirty as I have ever seen. The waitress took our drink order and the Michalada is the only reason this is a 1 star. The drink was in an Ice cold glass and was well prepared. There were 3 of us and we had some large orders. Our server didn't write anything down. I thought dang, this will be impressive. I was wrong, badly wrong. Nothing about our orders were correct. The food was stale and flavorless, its like no salt or even pepper was used. I do not recommend this place at all

Ay Caramba. It's in a good location and I like to try new things, but I don't know that I'll be back here anytime soon. I didn't leave this restaurant with some kind of horrible experience, in fact I really loved the service and I thought the chips and salsa were decent, but the food was just lacking.My fiance had been here before maybe once and he didn't really seem to remember a whole lot about it, but being the adventurer that I am, I was more than willing to give it a shot. We walked in to a space that actually seemed a lot smaller than what I imagined from the outside. We were greeted at the door and led to a booth.A short time later our waitress came over and spoke incredibly fast Spanish. I was like "Who? What? What?" We all got a good laugh, turns out she's from Venezuela and they just tend to speak a lot faster. She switched over to English for us. Even if she hadn't though, I wouldn't have been upset. It's all part of the experience.I ordered the shredded beef tacos on fried corn tortillas. I really like that they give you the option of flour or corn and fresh or fried. I also opted for cheese on top and I know (for some unknown reason) cheese on tacos isn't really typical in El Paso, but nothing goes better with a fried tortilla than cheese. How could I not?Our plates arrived and I found that my tacos were sprinkled lightly with cheese, but had a whopping amount of iceberg lettuce. No bueno. There was more lettuce than anything else on my taco and that added to my dissatisfaction. The shredded beef was shredded beef, sure. But it lacked flavor. A little salt would've taken it up a notch. I deconstructed the taco, spooned on massive amounts of the salsa, and attempted to remove the cheese from the lettuce so I could reapply it to the taco. Better, but still not great. The plate for me was just lacking. Honestly, the chips and salsa were my favorite part of the meal. I don't think they make either in house (which is totally okay if they're great... they were okay). The salsa had a lot of heat and the chips were alright.Service by far is their forte. It felt very friendly and inviting. The food left a lot to be desired. Not El Paso Mexican food (which is also totally okay because we have room for other types of Mexican), but regardless needs work. It did look like they have a bar so this might be more ideal if you're just looking for a place to grab a beer.

ordered the gorditas , 3 different ones, the tortillas were tough, hard to chew or cut, had a reddish color, the picadillo one was ok the other two were awful, the chicken and pork were dry left overs from last week, just a few bits of tomato, almost no cheese. The salsa tasted like some cheap factory made ____ from a jar. I will NEVER return. Good riddance !! Should be ZERO stars
