Evaga Desert Kitchen

Hard choice between 3 and 4 stars! More worthy of 4 than 3 I guess, hence the 4 Star choice!Now this is a great space, in a great area...the swim club thing looks like a blast. Honestly the night I came in with a coworker this place was dead...just the 5 of us I think, two customers and three staff!Service was great. The people working were bored I guess but didn't seem to be overbearing. Had a few drinks and some food. Now I will say I got the mushroom tacos and where they were good and I appreciated a vegan / vegetarian taco this one just fell short. The shells were dry and chewy and the filling was just pretty unimpressive! Now from a guy that believes in making fresh tortillas there is no reason for a lame shell...don't want to spend the time or prepare them right, make sandwiches not tacos! The veggies that came with it were good but undercooked.This place could be great, probably is great...just not when there is no one around and it's a quiet night, I get it...or do I?KT

I want this place to succeed so badly! It was very close to a five star experience, but took off a star because the food was just okay and very expensive. The food was simply alright - not bad, but not worth the price. Drinks were also expensive and "luxury" - I ordered two and one was significantly better tasting than the other. The inside is pretty, with very bright lights, and lots of seating. It's weird because you walk in and it's the swim club behind the tables. I wish the lighting wasn't so bright especially because the decor is so beautiful, and would suite some better "mood lighting".Service was great, and the experience was good overall. Worth a stop in for a date night.

Very disappointing. Place was empty and drinks took about 15 minutes. Slow service. Extremely overpriced.. No draft beer or even bottles, all cans! Classy.Isaac was OK. Slow at times. Will not return.

Had been wanting to check out Evaga and finally did yesterday! The restaurant can be found within the newly built Elmont Swim Club. The space has a big entrance facing El Paso's beautiful sunsets. As soon as we entered we were greeted by our server. She was very attentive, and so was the manager and the chef. All of them welcomed us and gave us recommendations on what to try. I tried a few cocktails because they were 50% off for Happy Hour. The drinks were very crafty and strong just how I like them. In terms of food, we tried the compressed watermelon, cobb salad with chicken, and the potato tacos with sopa de fideo. All of what we tried was delicious but the star of our experience was the watermelon. The chef shared that they are gonna launch a brunch menu soon which Im very excited for. So happy to have this addition in the Montecillo area. Looking forward to returning and having their yummy cocktails/food.

We went at Evaga Desert Kitchen as it was a new suggestion from Yelp. We were there with some great friends for and early lunch. So the menu was their breakfast menu. The ambiance was relaxed in a very open and restaurant hall type with a modern vibe. Their avocado toast with egg was very tasty. The omelette was poorly executed. Just barely two eggs, this small folded omelette was thin and really disappointing. Typically a folded omelette should at least have three eggs and some cream to give it some creamy consistency. The service was very dedicated and friendly. Overly zealous and attentive, as the staff was at our table every two seconds. It was just too much. But the restaurant was almost empty so we understood the focus. Will come back and see how things are progressing.

Very nice experience visiting this location for the first time with my wife. Friendly staff, and good atmosphere. Pricing seemed fair. Both appetizers were great, seemed well thought out and beautifully displayed. Both cocktails I tried were unique and tasty. The pizza was just OK, generously portioned but definitely didn't stand up to the rest of the food. I'd not order it again. Some of the other menu items seemed worth coming back to try however. And will definitely visit to check out the brunch.

A little too overrated! 2 halves of a avocado toast was $12. My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito, and it was apparently too greasy for his taste... the burrito is also like $12... the amount of food we got was too small and too expensive that we decided to get Mc'Ds afterward. Service was okay... had to tag down the server for our check. Ambiance is beautiful with high ceilings and new interior design.

This was our first time visiting this place & we really enjoyed everything! The decor, cleanliness, food and service!Highly recommend!Shout out to Brittany & Janice for making it extra special with their customer service

Was there Saturday night with a group of 6. Food and cocktails were amazing and service was great.

Daniel was our server he was great, all smiles with him. when I come back I hope he can be our server again I will recommend this place to family and friends.
