Casa Pantera

We're in town and our hosts made reservations here for Saturday night. I'm so glad they did!The place itself is very cool and interesting looking. I wish it would have been easier to take photos there, but it just didn't work out. It's really pretty and different. There was fairly loud music playing, but not so loud you couldn't hear the people at our table or our server. The service was great! We learned a little about the restaurant. Our server was also very good at explaining the different flavors in the food and the cocktails. I feel like the pacing of the meal was pretty good as well.The food and the cocktails were enjoyed by allof us. I had the short ribs and they were good, but I feel like the dish needed a little more something - like a little sauce maybe.We were a little surprised that a gratuity had been added to our bill since we a group of only four people. Our server did tell us when he brought the bill, but we weren't expecting it. I'm not sure what percentage it was.I'd definitely go back!

Hmmmm. Freezing inside. I had the mule, I mean it's fine but it's all ice very little drink. There was so much cumin in my food it was disgusting. Even the wedge salad had it. Had pollo asado, over seasoned. The potatoes were good. The best thing I had was the Brussels sprouts. Too much time between appetizer and main course. And I'm cool w a dark place if it's a bar only, literally so dark everyone had their phone lights on to see. Alamo draft house has better lighting to see the menu. It has the potential to be a cool spot, not there yet.

Tucked away, you can find this restaurant if you follow the disco lights. There is street parking available. Reservations are highly encouraged because it does get busy even on a weekday. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is very dimly lit and due to the small space, it's really hard to converse with others.They have a rotating seasonal menu hence why it was very hard to find a menu ahead of time. While there are many delicious dishes available, their most popular entrees are their steaks. Majority of their dishes are Oaxacan inspired. The seafood we had was very fresh and delicious--the ceviche and grilled octopus. The bone marrow was sublime, I could've only eaten that all night. The head of cauliflower was perfectly charred and seasoned.Their wine selection is great. However, I found their sangria to be lacking. Their duck dish was amazing, especially paired with the onion jam and mole. The duck was cooked absolutely perfectly!Overall, a great spot to go to for occasions because it is pricey.

This place is so horrible. 3 times here. 3!!!! So I I can not vouch that this food absolutely sucks. Forgotten appetizers, improper cook on meat. Tough meat, I truly hope this place goes a serious improvement phase or they close because giving them $200 felt like an absolute crime on New Year's Eve. Imagine ordering a side and it never arriving. Imagine the most tough $55 steak you have ever tasted but you can't say anything as it's New Year's Eve and they're busy. Don't advertise if you can't put out quality. Do notCome here guys. Save the money.

The ambiance is beautiful in this establishment. The low lighting and decor gives it a great vibe. There is limited space but sitting in the outdoor area offers more room. I came here on Friday night on a 8pm reservation. We had to wait an additional 30+ minutes because we wanted to sit in the outdoor space, which is highly requested. Our waitress was attentive and had great customer service. The menu is interesting and is high end contemporary Mexican cuisine. Their prices are on the high end so expect to pay $50-$100 per person. Their plates are overpriced IMO and the portions could be larger. I did enjoy my beef short ribs on-top of grits but wish my food was hot. The corn tamale was really delicious as well.

Delicious food, good drinks, amazing ambiance!Had my birthday dinner at Casa Pantera and it did not disappoint. I always recommend to out-of-towners.

This place was absolutely amazing. Our service was wonderful our server was so helpful with the menu, friendly, and all around great. The Ambiance is perfect, and lastly the food is delicious! Can't wait to visit again soon

This is one of the best restaurants in El Paso and the fact the the reviews don't reflect that is pretty disappointing to me. The music is great, great ambiance, steaks have great flavor. Very cool like something you'd see in Scottsdale. I love coming here don't let these reviews deter you.

LOVED the ambience and decor . They really put effort into making you feel like your not in El Paso . The chicken had deliciously crispy skin while the meat was so tender it fell off the bone and was in a rich au jous which flavored the potatoes. The salmon Vera Cruz was exceptional . The skin again was perfectly crisped and paired nicely with the delicate and flavorful salmon . The rich veracruz sauce flowed nicely and the prawns were fresh and just delicious . A little pricy but worth it. The only draw back whenever we go is when someone ordered the bone marrow . It comes on a roasting pit and I am sure is delicious but it smokes an insane about so anyone sitting nearby is drowned in smoke and smells like a meaty fire pit for the rest of the evening .

Very very disappointed in the food I got for this INSANE price. First off, this place has different standards when it comes to the cook of their steak. Their medium rare is literally COLD RED inside and it is very hit or miss whether they salt their steak good or not....they claim they undercook their steak so it can be "reheated" if it's too rare. Shouldn't my $70 steak be cooked properly the first time? been here 3 times and honestly will never go back. Service was very sub par and didn't feel like they cared about their job at all and then they totally forgot about our side of Brussels but still had to audacity to put it on our receipt? I'm sorry Casa but yall are not even close to being the restaurant you think you are.
