Carlos & Mickey's

We were in town for a few days to visit family for the holidays and couldn't believe how early many places close on Sunday night! Unfortunately the place we really wanted to eat at closes early on Sundays. So we hesitantly decided to go to Carlos & Mickey's since it was open. My boyfriend said the margarita was good but the food was very subpar. We added the free salsa that came with tostadas to the guacamole. It needed something to give it a decent taste. Then my flautas were not very good. I asked for more salsa so they brought me a different version. The salsa made the flautas somewhat more palatable. My boyfriend had a combo plate and ate it since he was hungry but didn't say he really liked anything on it. I say this to those from out of town esp when visiting for events like the Sun Bowl, there are other restaurants that serve fantastic Mexican food in El Paso. You truly should consider those!

This place was hard not to like when you walked in. We were sested quickly and our waitress was quick to get our drinks. I ordered the fish tacos and should have picked something else. The fish was bland and without the spicy sauce I would have felt like I was chewing air. I didn't even eat my last taco. Thankfully it wasn't super expensive. Service and setting good. My food, not good, would go back to try something else but would not recommend the fish tacos.

Great margaritas and delicious El Paso style Tex Mex. Carlos and Mickey's has been an El Paso staple for decades and you really can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

Carlos & Mickey's is an El Paso landmark. It's located near Fort Bliss and definitely is military friendly. Delicious food, incredible drinks, excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, and room for special occasions. Serving El Paso since 1944.

Back to Carlos & Mickey for their lunch special. A breaded Milanese chicken with rice and beans. Mama Mia quel savor! The service from Bernardino was welcoming and attentive. The ambiance is always back to the 60s Mexican Paradiso with so much memorabilia. It is a colorful bright and comfortable historical journey back to the days of Pancho Villa! Love this place!

This historic restaurant has what many are looking for as it is always packed. The food is good and personally I think the salsa is lacking the spice to it. So I give it 4 out of 5 stars. There is a lot of history here as soon as you walk in. There are photos of some famous or respected people who have dined here before. I'll take some pictures next time I'm here. They have a bar with your favorite drinks, alcohol and non-alcoholic.

The manager is a great gentleman and was so very helpful!The food is quite good and the prickly pear margaritas are delish!

Great place with wonderful ambience. Makes you feel like you are in Mexico.The pina colada is delicious. There are a lot of vegetarian options in this place. The guacamole didn't disappoint us either ! The food is really filling and piping hot. Could be a great place to meet with large group of friends.

Ok I'm not sure how this place has 3.8 stars. Now you all know I try and find at least one or two good things to say about a place but in this case I am truly struggling. I guess the place appears clean. Now let's hit the food.1. This is el paseo, TX..10 min from the border. So Mexican food u need to bring it(even at the airport) this is the first impression you make on visitors and this place is about as good as Taco Bell..wait I take that back. I would take Taco Bell over this place2. Their "nachos" read carefully. They are actually tostadas with beans and cheese. But maybe this is how TX does nachos??3. I tried to order a hamburger and was told it only comes well done. That's a red flag that this food is all frozen and pre madeDONT DO IT!!4. Hey I'm in a Mexican restaurant let's do tacos. Hell, even I can't mess those up...surprise they can. They don't have asada but they do have shredded beef...now I've eaten pig and cow most of my life and I'm 98% sure their beef is actually pork . The 2% is because I didn't actually see the animal so I can't be 100% sure.The plate came out so hot they wear oven mits . Can you say "they put day old food straight in the oven, plate and all?" It's tacos for darn sake. Why it the plate hot? The tacos came out part hard(maybe stale)and part soggy. Soggy most likely from the grease of the pork? Please please do yourself a huge favor if u are ever in El Paso and avoid this place like it's a $2.00 hooker that is charging extra for a side of herpes Wait..I would really take the hooker over eating here.

Worst service ever! We waited two hours to get seated and the waitresses were no help they kept giving us attitude the whole time. If you plan to come with a big family, I suggest you don't.
