La Hacienda Del Amigo

The burrito was good but very little I expected a big burrito.. this was a taco more then anything maybe next I will ask for the actual size cause i had to buy another one but it was good

A great find tucked in a tiny place behind a truck stop between a truck wash and a truck garage.I You may find yourself driving the only vehicle on the street without a commercial license required to operate it. The restaurant is a little house that's been converted (I know this because the bathroom had an unused shower and tub). The menu is simple. I had been looking for a good chili relleno, but didn't see that on the menu at first. The owner asked whether I liked chicken and steak and I took that as a recommendation for the eponymous plate. That was a good move. The place is a little worn around the edges, almost a hole-in-the-wall, but it is clean and everything is fresh and tastes delicious. (Just don't expect Jennifer Anniston to greet you in an Applebee's-style uniform bedecked with flair). The green salsa is hardy with a bit of a kick. The drink cooler is the standard Coca-Cola glass door box, but but at the top there are some locally bottled soft drinks such as pineapple soda.As I was eating I finally noticed the chili relleno on the menu, and ordered one. It was exactly right: not too much batter, not too much cheese, and perfectly cooked. I look forward to driving back through there, as out of the way as El Paso is for a Louisianan, especially to enjoy the chili relleno.

This is our new favorite Mexican food restaurant. The owner is so friendly. We have already gone back five times. It is a place that feels familiar and friendly. It is a restaurant that makes you feel as if you are back at your Tia's or Wela's cooking with the family around. It is never crowded but with a steady flow of customers telling one another hello. The food is delicious and home made. You can see into the kitchen as you look around at the decorations on the wall waiting for the food or can get up to grab yourself a soda. This place has a wonderful feeling with wonderful food cooked with love.We would frequent L&J's but this is where we now prefer.

This place is a GEM! I have to admit, getting here was interesting to say the least! It's quite hard to spot this little shack when it's tuck right next to a semi truck car wash! It the least likely location for a restaurant BUT I super love it! We were greeted by a very cheerful gentleman. The inside is quite small with only 4 tables - just one table seats 4. I ordered menudo (it wasn't on the menu but it sure was available if you ask for it). My hubby got the Mexican steak plate. One kiddo got 2 orders of chicken quesadillas and the littler one got 2 orders of the egg, cheese, and retried beans burrito. They actually only ordered one each but then they were still hungry so we ended up asking for another serving for them. The kind cook (he's probably the owner) gladly cooked them up for the boys. The food is hands down authentic good Mexican cooking. I'm glad we're not the picky types when it comes to ambiance. As we were leaving, I noticed that the restaurant sign was flipped to "closed". We're the last guests in there and I'm glad they still took us in. The total bill was less than $40 for all 4 of us so that was another affordable surprise. As we were leaving, the kind gentleman walked us out the door and bid us goodbye and said he hopes to see us again. I told him we're just passing by on our way to Phoenix. We just saw this on Yelp and decided to check them out. He then said that whenever we come back to El Paso, that we have a home there with him. Overall: great flavors, fantastic service, awesome hospitality!

Where do I start!!! This place is soooo delicious!! We travel a lot and were always looking for good old fashioned food. Well i can honestly say we found it. The chef greeted me with such a pleasant attitude and made my special order food to go immediately. Food was well seasoned. The portions were perfect and my meals were priced just right. I will definitely be stopping by everything i pass through here

This is IT, Ay Dios. This is those little spots you never forget. Not the food, not the people or the Authentic Charm, from Abuelos. All working hard to maintain what they have created. You'll be back. No words can bundle it up. I live for these places that should be picked up and placed in a museum. Sincero Gracias Señor y Señora.

Hidden gem.. family environment, family warmth food, great taste, great service.. couldn't ask for more... Will definitely come a lot more...

Great food!!!We stop here just for the food.If you enjoy food from south of the border you'll love this place

Food is gross. What we were served as caldo was hot water with raw pieces of potatoes and carrots. what he calls picadillo was soupy pieces of potato with sprinkles of ground beef out of the freezer reheated in the microwave.He took 40 minutes to serve 2 plates, extremely small portions, no salsa or chips.Do your self a favor donate him 22.00 DLL but don't eat the food.

Great service, clean place, and amazing food! 10/10 I had seen this place here on Yelp and decided to give it a try and was a great choice. Authentic Mexican Food
