“My recent dining experience at Corralitos was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Andres. His attentive and personable approach elevated the already delicious cuisine to new heights. A must-visit establishment for anyone seeking top-notch dining.“
“This place was highly recommended to me. And I had never heard of it. At first glance it didn’t seem like much. The menu prices didn’t match the ambiance so we ordered a bunch of appetizers to taste as much as we could.. the prices didn’t matter at that point. EVERYTHING was phenomenal. The mushroom tacos alone are enough to bring me back! Highly recommend.“
“My first time visiting this establishment. I hear the locals say it has the best authentic and delicious Mexican dishes.And they were right!Great experience from the service, atmosphere and food.The only tricky part was parking and they stay busy but will seat you as quickly as possible.Definitely recommend for any travelers and majority of locals already frequent here for meet ups, celebrations or good ol' comfort food.“
“Had the pleasure of sitting at the bar area in front of the kitchen. The entire staff was super friendly and welcoming! I went alone and enjoyed getting to talk various staff.The kitchen was incredibly clean and organized.The food was fantastic! I had started with the smoked hummus and then had the salmon. Both were perfect. I would recommend Accá for anyone that’s looking to try something special.“
“I love their cafe de ollá. I tried the enchiladas rojas, an where very delicious. My husband tried the huevos rancheros an was very satisfy with the taste of the food. Nice staff and owner. Very young men who has great customer service to the client. I notice he goes on and beyond to make sure his clients are satisfy with what they want to order and if he does not have it, he will try his best to make it for you. I highly recommend this place. Get there early. It's kind of small. They also have menudo everyday. Open from 7 am till 10 pm.“
“Thr place was packed at 12:30pm but they moved fast and we didn't wait long. The food was delicious, hot, and fresh. Staff was fast and attentive. We loved watching the ladies make fresh tortillas and the decorations are spot on. Very good beans and rice!!!! Really good fresh chips and salsa.Will be coming back next time I come back to El Paso.“
“Everything on the menu is sooooo delicious! Yes I have tired everything they serve! It's never been a disappointment. From the most basic potato tacos to the more fancy Korean tacos to the birria ramen its all good. If you have not tried them you need to!“
“Martha is a sweetheart she will make you feel like home, the food taste like homemade food but the salsas are the best in town, simple and cozy, and Martha she is funny and cheerful, don’t be rude if you are expecting the food to be otherworldly, the food is 100 percent homemade Mexican food and Martha she will make sure you have a good experience, you won’t find someone liked her in El Paso, she will cheer you up so be kind ?“
“First time here and the flautas were amazing! I had the 6 mixed... 2 Chile w/ cheese, 2 deshebrada and 2 shrimp...must say the chile w/cheese were a nice surprise and the deshebrada were very good as well... I did like the shrimp too, but there just didn't seem to be enough shrimp... the real highlight of this place, tho, is the salsa bar where you get to pick what you want on your flautas and how much of it! Great spot and definitely recommend! I'll be back for sure!“
“Stopped here on the way back from Hueco Tanks for breakfast and was completely surprised. Service was great and the chilequiles and enchiladas montadas were amazing. Both red and green sauce were excellent. It's been days later now and I'm still craving it. Price is very good too.“
“It isn’t exactly like Taqueria Ajiji in Juarez, but very comparable! The Pastor with pineapple and cheese was amazing and honestly good prices for now a days. I’d recommend these Tacos instead of most places in El Paso, but not in JuarezThe service left a lot to be desired “
“The place is a very nice vibe at night time. Very out of the way nook in a neighborhood but it’s very cozy and well decorated. They have a bunch of churros to choose from starting with plain and it goes to a build your own churro. I ordered 1 plain and 1 cheesecake which I added fresh strawberries. After we ordered it took a while, but to me that just meant at least they were making them fresh. Very good, highly recommend for dessert options in the area. It was a 10 minute walk from our hotel downtown. Well worth it“
“Personally I feel this is one of the very few real Pizza Oven pizza joints in El Paso that is worth a %#*+! Great crust, tangy sauce and fresh toppings..always the right amount of char on the undercarriage. Plus..the service is great! Also..don’t forget to try their flautas…Oh..the prices are great compared to the chains.“
“I just want to say that Chelitos is one of my favorite hidden gems in downtown El Paso. My favorite was the Nachos with Steak. Alexa is a very energetic server and makes you feel welcome. She’s very attentive and keeps you entertained while you’re waiting for your food. I highly recommend it.“
“Mi pueblo is great ?? foodTasty menudo on Saturday's They have great Mexican ?? food and cheese burgers and drinks yummy ??? three ? soups tortilla and fideo and res beef. Come eat here you'll be happy ??? if you do thank you SukiWheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessable“
“For the past 15 years, this is where I have purchased masa for tamales. The staff is friendly and helpful when you have questions. The prepared food is also very good. I'm sorry that they are going out of business. Thank you for the great service.“
“It was our first time ever walking in to this legendary establishment. Walking in, it’s a large welcoming space and you have the freedom to choose wherever you’d like to sit upon entering.Sitting near the bar, the atmosphere was lovely and it appeared most were frequent diners and bar patrons; it was nice to see people chatting, laughing and enjoying their time together.We had great service from this one woman that was polite, welcoming and prompt with her service. I ordered a larger size jalapeño margarita and the salt and pepper rim was an extra perk to this spicy and super delicious drink!!Here’s the one area I was quite disappointed and was expecting so much more, especially because of its legendary status: the food.The food presentation was meticulously prepared, however, once I took a bite into the tostada, the beans lacked flavor and didn’t seem fresh and the rice was a little extra toasty without much flavor. My husband’s plate wasn’t much different and his enchilada looked burned and also was in need of flavor.We’d definitely return for drinks, atmosphere, service, and homemade chips and salsa.“
“Good food, good service, good prices.Great chips and salsa. They had a variety of aguas frescas to choose from like horchata con fresa, regular horchata and agua de pepino. Ordered Birria Ramen and it definitely hit the spot on this cold and cloudy day. The queso birria tacos with consomé that were ordered at my table looked really good. Definitely have to go back and try them. They have a drive thru window, perfect for on the go orders. Also available on Uber Eats and Door Dash. Really kind people, they allowed me to record them making the tacos. Open every day from 9AM. Must try!!!“
“If you love a low key awesome spot, call it a hole in the wall if you want but traditional Mexican food not Tex Mex then come here. Stopped in Sunday on a drive from Central Texas to So Cal. Couldn't have been happier other than crispy vs street tacos. But everything was delicious. Had the crispy taco plate and Mexican Plate.I ate my food too quick that I forgot to grab pictures. I was tempted for the posole or menudo.“
“The burgers here taste like homemade, for the price of fast food. There's a sign on the door that says they are hiring, but if they were short staffed, it didn't hurt the service at all. The young lady taking orders was constantly moving to help customers and helping the other employees to assemble orders. I took my food to go and was very pleased with the Southwest burger and onion rings.“
“Honestly one of my favorite seafood places, im a bit biased cause i live in the area and have ate here for years, i can tell you though with full confidence that i do recommend their lunch special. The filete fish has a great breading that I've never seen recreated out of town, or any where else for that matter, and its one of the restaurants i have never gotten sick from, except for finding a couple bones, but rule of thumb always be cautious with fish. Good joint, underrated as far as seafood goes, come give it a try, though i give it a 4 star as i mostly eat the lunch specials and shrimp cocktail, without really trying anything else.“
“It has been over a year since my last visit. I used the drive through to place my order. The customer service was great, I had a short wait while food was being prepared. I had the Tejas burger and onion rings, everything was tasty and fresh. I will definitely be back more often to try other items.“
“Stopped in here for a late dinner after a recommendation from someone at our hotel. It did not disappoint! Food great! Staff super friendly! Fantastic conversation with the owner. The margarita was delicious. Prices were reasonable too. Absolutely recommend!“
“Amazing delicious flautas. I believe I got the bistek ones and omg best Mexican food I tasted in El Paso.The salsas where also very tasty and perfect.The customer service was amazing. Very happy I found this place. I love that they are open late so I can enjoy a nice late dinner.“
“Love coming to Chilabox for a nice lunch in the peaceful courtyard out front. Fast, great chilaquiles - I recommend the Chipotle flavor - at a good price in a super welcoming environment. And you have to appreciate a local business breathing some life into union Plaza!“
“Wow!! Just simply wow!! This place is just extraordinary!! I've left reviews before but it's simply the best. Hometown whole in the wall just takes this place to a whole other level. Seriously from the waitstaff to the cleanliness and let me tell you about the food!! Not expensive and just simply Amazing!“
“What an unexpectedly great place for dinner! We went based on a mention in Texas Monthly. I ordered a green chile burrito and was surprised to find it full of chunks of brisket (or roast beef). I was expecting ground beef! But it was soooo much better because it wasn’t ground beef! Even though the thing was huge, I ate most of it - it was so good! Really good, thick chips and spicy salsa. I’d say it’s a bit of a hole in the wall, but good service and great food made up for it! VERY reasonable priced as well. Highly recommend over the more touristy-local, pricey restaurant we went to the next night.“
“Thus is a small intimate place. Not noisy or crowded. Clean and comfortable. Staff is professional and food is amazing. If your from south Texas this will definitely hit the cravings you have. Flour tortillas were on point, not too thin and not too thick. Tamales were good size and had so much flavor. Barbacoa wasn't as greasy as I am used too but still tasted good, fresh. The breakfast menu is all day except pancakes. But the breakfast burritos are amazing. The menudo is not spicy and has great flavor. A small bowl is reasonably good for 1 person. Try ..try...try.....you will make this place a go to for you and your family!!!Vegetarian options: Beans cheese tortas“
“Food is good atmosphere is tense between employee and cashier, they are always repremending the employee in front of the customer. Happened to me twice and it was not very pleasant. Female Cashier is rude and make you feel like she is doing you a favor.“
“Love this place for menudo! I been coming here for awhile and the staff is so nice \\u0026 they have great prices for their foods/products. They did advise they will be moving to 512 San Marcial in a month so keep that in mind. (Avisaron que van a mover a 512 San Marcial en un mes*)“
“Was driving by and unexpectedly saw the food truck spot tonight and decided to stop by. As we entered our first decision was to go to Triple count as I approached I was greeted, and I let the nice lady know that my family and I have never been and she offered me a free sample, we ended up tasting it and we loved it. We ended up ordering the “Birria QuesoTacos” and their Lemonade agua fresca which we LOVED! Will definitely be going back, thank you for the hospitality and kindness.“
“Typical Mexican food very very delicious and very well priced, 3 of us went to dinner and what we ordered cost $15 each and we couldn't finish all the food, plus the waiters are very friendly and attentive and the place is very cool decorated.“
“This place is AMAZING! They always have fantastic service and good food prepared in a reasonable amount of time. Usually I go to a restaurant for one amazing thing I like on their menu but everything on Tejas menu is delicious! We've had just about everything. The Deluxe Club and Cheeseburgers with french fries are great! Their pancakes are absolutely amazing! Fantastic menudo and barbacoa too! They have a fantastic wait staff who are happy all the time, we especially like Daisy.“
“It's a little hole in the wall but the food was delicious and very good prices..its clean staff is friendly and if your a Dallas Cowboys fan you will love it the minute you walk in all you see is items of the Dallas Cowboys wall to wall and ceiling of Cowboys even the restroom it's amazing how they have so much collection of items some are very old the restaurant just looks nice and the food was delicious and hot...only thing that was not good was the coffee to water down but if they improve on the coffee it would be great..“
“I have 2 yrs working there n the food n service n the atmosphere ??? is fantastic n I still loved working there n is thanks to Rafa n China they are great n wonderful managers n the experience that they tough me in there I been working for 2 yrs THANKS TO THEM ...“
“Always amazing breakfast!!! Our favorite is the green chilaquiles with over-easy eggs. Beans are made in-house. Tostadas are made in-house and so good! Their salsa is great! And hot. And always polite and sweet servers! I like them all ♡ By far our new favorite breakfast spot in the far west side!“
“10/10!! This is a MUST have for El Paso Mexican Food! ? CASH ONLY!!! ? Generally, when I want authentic Mexican food and imagine what true authentic Mexican food is, the food from Tortilleria Crystal is what I imagine. This was by far the best Mexican food we have had in a while. We will certainly be going back soon! My wife ordered the Mole, and I ordered the Enchiladas! It was incredible from the first bite to the last bite. Thank you!Parking: Parking was fine. There is an open dirt lot near the paved parking lot if there is not very much parking.Kid-friendliness: Our daughter enjoyed the music on the TVs and she also loved the food!“
“Walked in to the place it was small but had a good vibe. Owner took our order and sat us down . We ordered colitas de pavo and a combination on that had ham steak winnies and a shredded beef . They were so good at first we didn't think we would get full but the fries hit the spot. We were stuffed and their salsas we on the spot. My son said that was our new father son go to place and he is very picky. I wish we would have had a table not a both but place is never empty.Parking: Plenty of parking and easy to get toWheelchair accessibility: They will make sure you are seated comfortably“
“First time I went there to was very nice enjoyed the music playing and of course food excellent and services our waitress was great. I enjoyed and I will be back. ❤???Parking: It has a wide variety of free parking. Exits and entrances were with no problem. ??“
“If there was a way to give this place more than 5 stars, I’d give it much more stars!The food was prepared and served with such care. I had the huancaina truffle pasta, chicha morada (a pitcher is highly recommended), the ceviche amar, and a pitaya margarita (perfectly made). There is a kid friendly option not listed on the menu. Please ask your server for the option offered.The huancaina truffle pasta had so much flavor and even though I was full, I couldn’t stop eating it. The chicken was cooked just right. The flavors were like a a beautiful waltz in my mouth. That’s as best as I can describe it…it was that good.The chicha morada, was beyond delicious! I should’ve gotten the pitcher but I was really busy with my pasta lol.The ceviche amar was so flavorful! The coconut milk that they add to it makes the entire thing just balanced and delicious. The flavors of a regular ceviche but with some extra flavor that gives a both refreshing taste and a slight lime punch at the same time.The pitaya margarita was mixed to perfection. As beautiful as it looked is just as good as it tasted. I highly recommend!!!Highly recommend this place! The atmosphere gives a relaxing, vacation type of vibe. The plants and decor are so thoughtfully laid out. It feels so welcoming and yet makes you feel like you’re on a trip somewhere.Overall, it was wonderful!“
“We recently stopped at RedSand Kitchen on the way back from Hueco Tanks. We were so pleased with our meals -- everything was incredibly fresh! The Samalayuka burger was so interesting and delicious. My daughter, who has ordered Buffalo chicken sandwiches all over the world, said that the Buffalo chicken sandwich she got at RedSand was one of the best she's ever eaten. You can tell that the owners use quality ingredients. Speaking of the owners, they are super warm and welcoming. After we ate, we sat and visited for several hours. The owners did not rush us out, and even chatted with us occasionally. This is such a great little restaurant -- we plan to go back each time we visit El Paso.“
“My aunt and uncle the twins and I, enjoy going to lunch. This time I wanted to try out a different Mexican Restaurant. My Aunt knew where to go. Chicken Enchiladas. All three of us ordered the same thing. The meal comes with Caldo de Rez. Great decision tia.“
“Side Notes:•My camera is damaged at the moment so the quality is not as it is in person!!•We arrived 15 minutes before Google says they close which was 5PM and they stayed open serving food even after we left which was 6PM. Gonna have to stop by or call and see if they are open.Got a craving for some Birria Tacos so the family and I came to try this Food Truck spot. Due to the amount of establishments that get the dish wrong I didn't know what to expect.Upon arrival you can quickly see your Menu options and are greeted by the staff. The staff here were very kind as well as professional during our visit and made ordering easy. We ordered several orders of Birria Tacos as well as their Birra Grilled Cheese which I personally have not yet had or seen so we had to try it. For our beverages we ordered a Mexican Coke and several Strawberry Horchatas, a beverage I have also never seen or had before.It was not busy so the wait was little. They own the building right beside the food truck so we were able to dine in! No messy car and no waiting to get home! The place was clean, the tables and seating were clean, the air was fresh and the ambience was relaxed. Outside there's plenty of parking space.Our food came and the anticipation was over. Quickly I understood the prices. Here they are very generous with the portions. Normally establishments give slim tacos with small sides but not here. The tacos are loaded with meat and cheese and sides are plenty. The little consomé cup was filled rather than being at half. There was plenty of radishes, onion, cilantro, lime slices as well as their in-house made chile de árbol.After devouring the tacos we all tried the Birria Grilled Cheese and it was fantastic. The sandwich had their Birria and cheese on some Texas Toast which I believe was dipped and fried. First time to ever try it and it is a must try!The Strawberry Horchata was also very good so we ordered several! A beverage that we believe you should try!Overall we are very happy with our visit! We had no issues of any kind. The prices are higher than average and justified. Our meals were absolutely delicious! The staff were kind and professional. At the time of our visit parking was plenty and seating was plenty. Definitely one of the better spots for Birria Tacos and we will be coming back!The photos are current as of today 10/20/2023.“
“This restaurant rightfully deserves 5 stars across the board. If I could rank higher than 5, I would. This place is that damn good. The food was out of this world amazing, and the portions are huge. All the dishes were so well seasoned, and everything just melts in your mouth. You will, without a doubt, leave wanting more. The staff are so welcoming, friendly, and accommodating and are very attentive; especially if you have little ones. I really can't say enough good things about this place. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend. 15/10 stars. It's 100% my new favorite restaurant here.Parking: Parking lot surrounds the restaurant and there are plenty of spots as long as the restaurant isn't packed full. It's a mom & pop restaurant, so it's small.Kid-friendliness: The staff love kids and will help you with them as much as they can. My eldest daughter kept asking questions to our waitress, and she was more than happy to get down to her level and answer them. She even let my daughter try dishes/drinks she was asking about and didn't charge us for it. They also brought out my kids' food as soon as it was done and before anyone else so they could start eating while it was hot and fresh. Their kids menu has a good selection of different dishes just in case you have a picky eater.“
“Ordered the red chiliquillas with beans. The overall flavor was great. The only downfalls were that the red chilie was cold, and the over medium eggs were a bit overcooked. Other than that, it was awesome. Great taste to the chilie, not hot but a good spice to it. The price is a little bit higher than most, but the serving was also big. I will be back to sample more of the menu. Awesome customer service! I also sampled the red and green salsas, and both had a pleasant bit to them. Can't wait for the next visit.“
“We stopped by for breakfast, our order was served promptly. The inside is decorated like a 50s diner. The burritos are huge and at a very good price. I had the chile colorado burrito.The red chile had very good flavor. We tried the enchiladas rojas and verdes and some green chilaquiles.The green chile was delicious too. The chilaquiles were made with freshly fried tortillas with the perfect amount of crunchyness, not too hard and they didn't go soggy. The enchiladas come a pancake on the side. After eating the savory enchilada plate the pancake tasted glorious, it hit the spot.“
“Excellent service and I have been several times and been served by the waitress Hissel and she has provided us with exceptional service, she always gives us very good recommendations on food, and she treats us with warmth, the food is delicious and when good service is given it is enjoyed better.“
“I had not been here since retiring from work over 5 years ago, my loss. Today 7/26/23 I drove in from the George Dieter area for a take out order. I’ve never seen such care and pride from any restaurant, in getting an order boxed and ready to take home (I order take out very often from various places). And of course the food and serving size…amazing as always. Thank you (Mr Owner) sir, for the all-aroundexcellence! Well worth the drive, see you again soon! FC“
“The barbecue was very greasy and there was only breakfast. The Menudo is very tasty. But when I was going to serve myself Menudo there was no I asked a waitress and she said yes there is but I told her there isn't any and she looked at the tray to see and I stirred the broth with the spoon and she said yes there is and I told her there are a few grains. of corn and said look for him. I don't know what she was thinking but I'm supposed to go to a buffet and there should be food and not have to dig through the tray, plus I'm going to pay, I'm not going to get a gift. The lady looked very arrogant. The good thing is that she didn't attend to us. We were served by another very polite, friendly and helpful waitress.“
“What a vibe! Soft music with eye pleasing dining area with natural light to start your day off right. We started with the Stanton house breakfast which is eggs your style with bacon or sausage, pancakes or toast, & orange juice or coffee. What a delish experience. We didn’t leave anything on our plates.“
