Prices now sky high and burritos skinny as toothpicks! No longer a good value! End of an era.

So, I am in El Paso TX for not so fortunate circumstances but this place is a silver lining. People rave about this place and know i know why, it's pretty darn good. The burritos are excellent, the picadillo is a staple but the bristkist is the bomb. Not for you? Go away then! Just kidding. Try the beans with cheese and the Chile colorado - very nice. Give it a shot as they got more options but this is the line up I like. However, they do run out so the early bird and all that.

Born in El Paso, Texas and born aided in La colonial Tortillas. I have frequented this establishment as long as I can remember. It is a place to go a pick up some amazing burritos. It is a family owned business and everyone is there to get you in and out quick.Great Service and is only Food to Go.

My daughter and I wanted to check this place out after our it was highly recommended by a friend who lives in El Paso. Our friend steered us in the right direction because the food here is fantastic! I ordered two burritos, one brisket and rice and one beans with con queso, as well as rice and beans. My daughter got the full quesadilla. Warning the full is a large portion but luckily since we swung by on our way out of El Paso to NM it was nice having left overs for her! My burritos did not disappoint. Both so full of flavor. Rice and beans were also delicious. My daughter loved her quesadilla as well. This along with The Tap are must stops when you're in El Paso. We got lucky too that we missed the lines that happen on a daily basis. Parking is also scarce but you will eventually find a spot I promise lol. And the food is so worth it! Next time I'm ordering a dozen and adding tamales!

Their waitresses are nice and accommodating! While visiting family from California we had dinner, their salads and pizzas were on point and delicious!

Still a destination for food as far as I'm concerned. Returned to ELP to renew my security status and made a point of coming here for collective meals for work. The jolly man who's always at the front counter cooking didn't seem to have a shortage of filling for the ten chile colorado burritos I had ordered the day before at the time I walked in around 10 on a Wednesday, but I think it's still best practice if you're only in town for a short visit to call the order in advance. Each burrito cost $3.75 which for homemade, quality tasting stuff is well worth it but a bump up from $3.25 when I last snapped the menu in November 2022. They now have an iPad they use as a PoS so you can bring in your credit cards. I learned the hard way that trying to obtain cash from ATMs in El Paso is not as straightforward as you'd think so being able to fall back on plastic is a wonderful thing. That chile colorado has such a nice bite to it and so tasty on those soft, fluffy tortillas. Heavenly food in what some consider an inhospitable desert. I will return, hopefully sooner than later.

I was really surprised when I was told there was a place in EP where people lined up and stood in line for hours(!) for the food and this food would run out as early at 1000. So of course I had to go for myself.I went on a Friday morning and came 10m before it opened. I was the 2nd person in line. It's a really small counter, and it's very obvious how/why they run out of food so fast. I ordered some tacos and the queso and beans which get served as a burrito. I ordered a normal taco and an asada taco. The asada taco is really outstanding. The normal taco (just beans?) isn't bad either but no where near as good as the asada. Get the asada. The queso/bean burrito is really tasty also. I think they have an asada version? That's gotta taste better if it parallels the tacos. Menu is pretty limited so it'd be easy to eat your way down it with enough visits and especially with other people. I don't know about these long lines-I was told they happen on the weekends so I guess my advice is to go during the weekdays.

By far, the best rajas con queso tamales I've had in a long time. Employees are hard workers who are eager to please.
