I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito. It was prompt but had no chorizo in it. Only eggs cheese and hash browns

Ordered the fried chicken tacos appetizer and shared it, it was pretty good. I really enjoyed the queso though. Will have to come back to try the margaritas.Update: the birria tacos are where it’s at

Oh the food is really good there

New name, El Itacate. New owners and new menu. We have been there twice now and the food is delicious. Any place that serves Birria crispy tacos is a hit. The new owners are trying hard to introduce themselves and bring people into their business and show you what they have to offer. I have had the molé and it was really good. The queso dip was really good and the chips are fresh and warm. Their birría is really good as well. Give them a try.

Used to be 4 star. New owners downgraded menu and hiked prices.

This used to be our go to for good Mexican at reasonable prices. It’s now under new ownership and the changes are not positive.The menu has been shrunk to the point that there’s not much selection. There’s no combination meals at all anymore. The prices have also gone up considerably. Their wet burrito was $18! And all you get is the burrito, no sides. The kids menu had one non-Mexican food option but even then the chicken nuggets came with rice, not fries. Anyone with kids knows how picky they can be. So not a kid friendly menu.The waitress forgot to give us menus then asked if we were ready to order when she brought our drinks. She never came back to check after taking our orders so we sat there without chips for most of our wait because she was also not around to flag down. The food took awhile to come but it was good when it got there. The enchiladas were made with small corn tortillas, not the larger flour tortillas, so the portions were small. Much smaller than they used to be. But it tasted good.It was freezing. The entire restaurant was so cold I had to rub my legs during the meal to warm up and my son’s hands were like ice.For two adults and one child the total was $45. I definitely don’t feel like we got our money’s worth. We won’t be going back. We can get overpriced Mexican food much closer to home.

This has got to be the absolute worst mexican restaurant I have eaten at. I ordered a shredded beef burrito. The meat was so greasy that my flour tortilla was stained orange with grease. The refried beans that came with the meal were bland and tasteless. If you want good quality mexican food DO NOT EAT HERE!!! There is not an option for 0 stars or I would give them that rating.

We've eaten here quite a few times. The food is okay. I wouldn't consider them to be the best in down but they are not all together terrible either. I kind of feel like this is one of those places that cuts corners to cut cost but by doing so you dramatically cut quality as well. Again, not bad food but not great either.
Very good food. Reasonably priced. Service can be a little slow at times, but overall, I like the place. I live very close to the restaurant, and I could almost walk to it. I definitely will go back. Very homey and the best mexican joint I have found so far. Being ex military, I was stationed in texas five times and lived in El Paso for 10 years. This was pretty darn close to authentic. recommended.

The food is very authentic! Delicious camarones mojo de ajo (garlic sauteed shrimp) and chile relleno (stuffed mild chile) and tasty margaritas! Good service too. We'll be back!

A modest family owned establishment. Awesome atmosphere and great seating arrangements. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Open bar located at the back for Happy Hour. Overall good food and great vibes.

Great service and food. Amazing salsa.
