El paso Mexican Grill

Good chain Mexican food, especially for a low-key strip mall in Central PA. Went here for lunch with a group of five people on a Sunday and had no wait. Service was casual; we got some chips and mild salsa right away. The food is just fine; very large menu with all of the typical platters you get at a Mexican place (chicken, beef, shrimp; enchiladas, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas; some vegetarian and lunch specials). Portions are on the large side.The chicken enchiladas were particularly good; stuffed with chicken and covered with a relatively mild green sauce. We got a few vegetarian dishes (spinach burrito; spinach quesadilla; mushroom burrito). All of them had a lot of filling, so they felt like solid vegetarian options, though the spinach ones in particular were very salty.

I had easily the best burrito I've ever had at this place. I ordered the burritos tapatios with no cheese and add spicy tomatillo sauce and it delivered!! Everything was cooked so perfectly! My husband got the fajita burrito with steak and also loved his. Very unexpected place in Indiana, but we will be back. Very laid back atmosphere. Only complaint was it took awhile to be seated, and later on our server, Jesus, asked us if we wanted the check and a box, then disappeared and cleaned tables with no patrons around for awhile. We had to remind him 10-15 min later that we were still waiting for our check. That's my only reason for taking away a star. Otherwise the food was really good!

They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, or let go of preconceived notions, these sayings do hold true...We ended up here simply because we grudgingly agreed to have Mexican and it was nearby. Not expecting anything special or out of the ordinary, we were pleasantly surprised from the mint we walked in. A very personable greeting followed by exceptional service given with cheer and gusto even. Our meals were chimichangas, burritos, and a shrimp plate - standard fare but it was all cooked to order and it was all delicious. The wait staff was very patient with us (as they have their full menu out in force) and the portions are large. So come with an appetite or be ready to bring some of it home. Truly a 5-star experience from the food, service, and all around welcoming attitude. I hope the little hicktown this place resides in appreciates the excellent Mexican food, served with cheer, this place is offering up.

Very tasty Mexican food, and in Blairsville of all places! They serve complimentary chips and salsa. Chips are warm and crisp and the salsa is tasty. Generous portions sizes at a good price. They do not skimp in the cheese. Service was speedy, and servers are pleasant. I'd definitely come back to try more on their menu!

This is by far one of me and my partner's favorite places to go. We end up there at least once a month. I've never been to a restaurant with such high quality authentic food while also serving you your food in under 7 minutes! I can't recommend this restaurant enough to any locals or visitors passing through!

While in Blairsville we got take out here because of the Yelp reviews. We got Enchiladas Supreme & were overwhelming disappointed. This was on par with Taco Bell not traditional Mexican or good americanized Mexican. There was no enchilada sauce choices usually offered (mole, etc)& there was little sauce on the food & it tasted like canned enchilada sauce. The insides had no taste.

I cannot give this place a higher review!!! Absolutely wonderful service and food. Don't miss this if you're in the area!!!

The food is ok.. not great. But not horrible.. gringo friendly. Love the alcohol..Tina makes the visit..

I would give this at least a 2.5. Hear me out, the food is GREAT! I went out with my boyfriend and my friend, we all loved our meals. This is why I wouldn't give a better rating... 1) The service was very poor where we waited without seeing the hostess for a solid 5-7 minutes. But when the hostest did show up he sat us right away. 2) When we got sat we didn't see our server for another solid 10-12 minutes. 3) We got a margarita pitcher and it was beyond tart & sweet. In consideration with the service it seemed like there was only one guy, maybe another person that was serving the whole resturant. But also, I feel like since we were a younger crowd we also got overlooked which is very upsetting. There were groups that were sat after us and were taken care of fairly quickly & before us. The food won't disappoint but the service might.

Decided to take a chance on this place after living in Blairsville for several years. Went in with zero expectations, and honestly I was blown away. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and the food??? The food was SO good I ended up ordering a dish to go just to have the next day. Now it's a regular haunt, and I tell everyone I can to check it out. You won't regret it!
