I've been to the Carlos and Mickeys location by Ft Bliss a couple times so I kind of knew what to expect going in. I'm surprised the decor doesn't really match the other location, which I thought was nice. It kind of gave an authentic Mexican restaurant experience. However, this location definitely feels more corporate. It's still nice though, I just missed all the fun decor.My husband and I sat in the bar area which was somewhat busy at the time. I will say we both felt bad for the poor bartender that was running around making drinks, taking orders from customers at the bar while also handling customers seated at the high top tables. I definitely think he was overworked and needed help because the service was quite slow due to him handling so many areas.We ordered the bandido fries as appetizer. Be forewarned, it is actually huge potato wedges rather than actual fries. We were surprised by what we were served but it didn't taste bad. The description just made it sound like loaded fries.For drinks I got the mango margarita and my husband ordered a beer on tap. The regular size margarita is good size for one person but I did see a HUGE size they offer that looks like it's meant for a group. The flavor was very light but still there. I'd definitely try other flavors next time, they have alot of fruity options!For our main course, my husband ordered the shrimp fajitas and I got the Mexico City combination. My combination consisted of a taco, enchilada, tamale and chile relleno - with beans and rice on the side. Everything tasted good, I will say the tamale was a tad bit dry. The Chile relleno was huge and filled with soooo much cheese. A big plus for anyone that favors this dish.Overall the quality of food matches the other Carlos and Mickeys location. I get that this isn't super authentic Mexican food but it does the job. Other than the service lacking, I'd say it was a good experience. Hopefully they can learn to have an actual server help with the bar area so guests aren't waiting a long time for service.

Had takeout. Told me 15 minutes. Told me it was $15 total for their chimichanga. Ended up being charged about $17 instead. Got there and the food was lukewarm. I noticed there was a $1 surcharge for takeout that was not disclosed. WTF. Not only that they charge an additional 5% fee for using your credit card. Of course, they left out the utensils and napkins too because why should they pay extra when they're trying to squeeze you with hidden fees? The chimichanga was also shaped like a Taco Bell crunch wrap and the same size, but it only had beef inside. The rice, refried beans, lettuce were all on the side. The tortilla was stale. The chips were leftover old tostadas. First time I have ever been served thin tostadas as chips. How cheap do you have to be? Listen to the 1 star reviews. The 5 stars on here are probably from gringos that don't know any better. Hard pass.

I am visiting for a work trip and had high hopes in eating good Mexican food but was not satisfied. This restaurant was recommended to me by the hotel staff and thought we should check it out.The environment is similar to any other Mexican restaurant. The service was very good and the staff was very friendly. My co worker and I got the same thing, we got the bean and cheese burrito with 1/2 red sauce and 1/2 queso. I wouldn't recommend getting this if you're thinking about it and would try something else on the menu. The beans were pretty plain, the tortilla was okay, and we were not a fan of the red sauce. It wasn't very flavorful unfortunately. The churros however are good! They are not on the menu but I saw a sign about churros as I was walking in. The churros are filled with custard and came with a chocolate dipping sauce!

I really enjoyed the chips and salsa, guacamole and the mango margarita. One of the best margaritas I've had here. Super delicious. The bartender was very attentive and provided great service.

Food was very delicious! It was actually piping hot when the food was delivered to our table which is A+. Service was on top of everything, always came by to refill our waters and asked if everything is ok. Place is clean and tidy. Would come back here again!

First of all the server was very confused and it was impossible to get answers about menu choices. We found a hair in our salsa so I just requested a new one. Then I got my enchiladas and there was a hair in the enchiladas. When I informed manager that we found 2 hairs she stated 'I should have told her the first time'!! I was trying to be understanding because these things happen but not twice in one meal!!! Even though we were both disgusted and stopped eating after second hair was found she only removed one plate off bill. Not sure how that made up for 2 hairs but I don't think that was an adequate resolvement. The manager was a little rude and tried to explain away the hairs. As if she almost didn't believe me and I told her I left hairs on plate and she could see for herself. Just a bad way to do business. Will never go back or recommend!!! If the manager had handled the situation better it would have helped but she did not and was almost unapologetic. Just Bad!!

I had the carnitas, which the menu had an announcement in red letters that they were the best in El Paso.... Far from the truth. It stated it came with guacamole, not even close (see picture and judge for yourself)The carnitas were burned and dry, the guacamole came in a little container that wasn't even full and it was only a green salsa with no much flavor, only the green color resemble the avocado. The beans and the rice were good. I had one taco and I left the rest. To make it worse I told the waiter to take it away that I didn't like it, he didn't offered substitutions or an apology, just took the plate away. To my surprised he did charged me for it. It was a complete disappointment not just for the food but for the lack of care from the waiter. I would not recommend the place

Cudos to Carlos and Mickey's East!!! We had a very last minute celebration of life. I called many many Restaurants at this last minute and they all said no. When l called Carlos and Mickey's East it was such positiveness, they did everything to accommodate us. Everything was all set up and ready when we arrived. The service starting with the front was excellent and the food too!! I cannot say enough about them. Thanks for good job done to all of the staff and Managers, GREAT Service!!!Donna Walker
