Service: as we walked in during this visit, it was packed. Our waitress was slow i taking our order, but understandable due to the amount of people at 12:00 pm lunch time. She kept our table up to date with chips and salsa and dAmbiance: small restaurant with challenging parking situation, but worth it. Simple interior with bright colors. Casual dress and limited seating.

This place has always been my go to spot to eat before I head to the airport (nearby) to fly back to San Francisco. No matter the time of day, it's always a hoppin spot with non stop lines through the drive thru and a full dining room. Over the years the consistency has dwindled and this last time, the changes were very obvious. My cup was so dirty with things floating inside, the chips were not fresh or made in house, but rather store bought. And the food, although good, didnt have the authenticity I've always found this place to have. The service is always stellar! The menu has something for everyone and they offer full menu all day. The prices are incredible for what you get. Maybe they've had a change of ownership or management recently, but I do wish they'd go back to what was great before. In years past I would've given 5 stars, no question. This time was just a disappointment.

Service was great! Ambiance was nice! Definitely a busy place. Couldn't ask for better wait staff. The food was delicious! I almost want to go again today. Lol. I had something I never had before. Enchiladas Montadas. Cheese enchiladas for anyone that doesn't know what it is like I didn't. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Perfect amount of seasoning. Salsa was perfect. Horchata was delicious! I definitely reccomend this place for breakfast! I'll try lunch or dinner soon.

The Juevos rancheros are excellent. The servers are extra nice. It's a tiny place, be patient and be kind please.

We came here on a work trip for a very early breakfast. Walking in around 0605, we found the place to already have some customers. Our attentive waitress took our orders and brought out a plate of store bought chips with house made green salsa. I had the enchiladas montadas plate - an assembly of three cheese enchiladas topped with eggs made to order, flanked by refried beans and rice. The enchiladas had also been covered in a bright red sauce. Everything was hot, fresh and tasty. Our waitress then brought out the most delicious red salsa - a red-orange concoction of spice and flavor that hit me like a lightning bolt. Amazing!All of our food was delicious and all of our plates were picked clean. I can't wait to come back in a few days for more. I am not even a breakfast person and I can't stop thinking about how good it was here.

After having a terrible experience at another restaurant today, we tried this cafe. We had a great waitress. That was very friendly, and very accommodating. She brought our food out very promptly after giving us several suggestions we ate the machaca plate. It was great! I will try it again.

This is a hole in the wall local Mexican but not your run of the mills Taquerias more in terms of the food. Their Caldo de res is fantastic made of fresh ingredients such as large carrots and zucchinis, and large chunks of beef. Their lunch specials is always under $10, so a great value. The service is impeccable fast and efficient. The place is Fabuloso clean! The restaurant is colorful, inviting and a tribute to Cuauhtemotzín, or Guatémoc, who was the Aztec ruler of Tenochtitlan, making him the last Aztec Emperor.The name Cuauhtemōc means "one who has descended like an eagle". So like the Eagle this place is a great dive offering tremendous value and a fantastic Caldo. The only issue is that someone slash my tire in the parking. But hey, I cannot hold this against them!

Delicious authentic Mexican food served by the sweetest ladies I met while in Texas! Do not sleep on this place, the food was so good and so fresh, our plates were brought to us piping hot and everything was absolutely delicious! Plus side they are close to the airport (5 min) and they will get you in and out fast if that's what you prefer however the place was packed with many people just enjoying breakfast with their party and nobody was being rushed which I really appreciate! This will be definitely be my go to when flying in and out from El Paso!

Very slow waiters. I get the fact that you're young and barely starting, but get yourself some common sense ladies. As for the older ladies, speak up when these little girls can't do something right. No one ever one by getting told they were doing good.

Delicious food at a reasonable price. Their machaca burrito is the best in El Paso, maybe even all of Texas!
