Flautas y Paleteria Tepalca

This place is BOMBAF!! So my grandma lives close by which is why I decided to stop and try this place out. They have soooo much to choose from. I ordered 2 elotes and a plate of flautas to go. The flautas are sooooo good. I didn't try the elote but only because my grandma ate all of mine LOL so I'll be coming back again in the future for sure. The girls at the front taking your order are so friendly too and they have so much open space inside to eat there. Im think next time I'm gonna get the tortas and agua Fresca cuz they look so delicious perrrrrrriod hahahahaha ok bye now !

Now talk about some delicious flautas!I was definitely impressed by the taste of these flautas and all their toppings. At the same time, they come at an excellent price point for tourists visiting. The location of this business is in the "Lower Valley" area of El Paso which isn't the most well-kept. However, the flautas were definitely authentic. The line went quick and our food came swiftly, as well. I ordered two flautas and an order of Tacos de Alambre (my favorite type). It was all very good. I also got a lemonade but it was a little too sweet.All-in-all, it was delicious and gives El Cometa (where I used to go) a run for its money!

This is a popular, thriving business located in a busy shopping stop with plenty of parking. The menus is extensive but their flautas are the main attraction. You can get 2, 4 or 6 to an order and they come with lettuce and tomato salad and topped with sour cream etc. Delicious! I didn't try their other Mexican snacks and treats but the customers where ordering them left and right. Things like, nachos, tostadas, ice cream, shakes etc. Staff is friendly, efficient and the place is kept tidy.

So I don't want to be negative all the way around so I'll say one positive thing. The aguas Frescas were good. The price for the aguas almost 6 dollars and 14 dollars for 6 flautas? Papa nachos, fancy for cheese fries 6 dollars? Holy bankruptcy ! I've lived in El Paso long enough to say that these are high priced items. Took 25 minutes to get the food! Not horrible but for the items not great. Not sure I will be back. Unless I can't find another place with aguas frescas for under 5 dollars I might come back. Honest review

UPDATE* A year and a half later and the service is still slow. Takes foreVer...foreVer...foreVer... To top it off, we got to watch customers who came after us, get their food before us. Looking at the picture, I don't think we ordered anything that difficult. Now on to the food. The torta was very good! One of the best I've had. A tight sandwich they doesn't fall apart. But it's the delicious bread that makes the sandwich. The flautas on the other hand are very thin on meat. Not much else to say which is sad because this used to be one of our favorite spots to eat flautas back in the day.

What's for dinner.......? We drove around and my girlfriend stated she wanted a shrimp cocktail so we arrived here. This a very traditional Mexican restaurant yet clean and tasty. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, tacos de asada and torta (sandwich) of milanesa (slightly breaded thin steak). The shrimp cocktail was loaded with shrimp and with a great tasting juice. The tacos were seasoned enough to taste the grill and marinate. Finally, the torta was flavorful and the milanesa was not oily at all. The mix of avocado, meat, and beans created a sweet ambrosia for the mouth. The cost with a can of coke and cantaloupe water was $24. Inexpensive and high quality flavor a must. Only concern the place was very cold.

This place is really great! They have such a great variety of all the Mexican favorites even the munchies... They have all kinds of authentic aguas frescas, and the ice creams are so gooooood! They make all kinds of unique flavors, pinenut being my favorite at the moment. The flautas are my personal favorite, they are full of meat and perfectly crispy, not burned like most places. The Tacos and the tortas are good as well. The snacks are good as well! They have all of them: corn in a cup, papas locas, dori nachos, chilindrinas, tostadas preparadas... Pretty much anything your little heart desires.... Anyway if you are in the area of any of their many locations I highly recommend you give them a try. They have amazing customer service as well, and if you dine in they serve you chips in salsa which is nice....

This place probably has the best flautas in El Paso! They know exactly how much sauce to add and their queso fresco is absolutely perfect.

What to get?!? You can't go wrong with anything you choose. You must get dessert, too. We had the flautas, cheese fries, corn in a cup, and paletas (no judgement ). They serve aguas frescas but we were too quick to order that we missed them. We hope to be back soon.

The restaurant on Zaragoza Street has good food. The only thing that is wrong is that as soon as you walk in, it stinks like Fabuloso the cleaner, and the food even might taste like Fabuloso but it would be great if they would stop using so much of that cleaner that would make it perfectThe tostadas taste, like Fabuloso
