Paulinas Badlands Bar and Grill

The GORDITAS were delicious! They totally gave me nostalgia from when I lived in El Paso as a child. I just wished they had horchata.

Another diamond in the rough. Food was excellent! We ordered different items and shared. Beef tacos, rolled tacos, gorditas, albondigas and fries. I can't tell which was my favorite because it was all really good! The gordigras and tacos had a good portion of meat. The price was really reasonable for four of us, food and drinks. Atmosphere is mellow, the music was '70s rock, loved it!

Best gorditas and wings in El Paso. It is not the most nicest of looking places but it is worth it for the food. Paulina can cook and she puts her heart into it. We went on a recommendation and now we cant stop going. Love this place.

Holy moly! Ok. I'll start off with my first impression.....where the heck am I and what the heck is this place?? I was a little sketched out at first. But the owner greeted us right away and made us feel welcome. Ooooooooh my!!! The food here was crazy good. I was in heaven for like 10 minutes and didn't allow anyone to bother me as I savored every bite. Where has this place been all my life?? I have to say I am not a huge Mexican food fan but this changed me! The saucy rolled tacos must have crack in them because I'm addicted. Thanks Paulina for the experience.

For years I have searched far and wide for the best gorditas I can find. Years ago I made it to Paulina's Badlands through an invitation from a friend. Lo' and behold! The holy grail of gorditas! I now go there every time I go back home from Colorado. I recommend this place to everyone I know who is headed to El Paso and even lives in El Paso. Thanks, Paulina! I'll be coming by very soon...again...
