    The food is delicious! Servers and hostesses were very friendly and did a great job of checking in a lot despite it being packed. The entertainment was good (live music). I would definitely recommend eating here at least once during your trip.

    Enjoyed the bar area with live entertainment. Good music, and drinks were made to perfection. Great place to enjoy a drink and appetizers. The service was great. Bartenders were super busy bit attentive to us. Shrimp cocktail soooo good!!! Oysters were a little small though.

    We were taken to our seats quickly, food was out quickly and the back room was very comfortable. The waiter did a great job with several tables to care of.

    The food is great and the service is great. I rate my black bass with shrimp salad as yummy in my tummy especially the shrimp salad and extra dash of Yumm. Now with that being said I don't eat bass often so I'm not sure of it's flavor. It comes with the limes and that gives it flavor to me. If you're a fish eater you would say it's a bit over cooked and I would say yes but when you get to the meat on the inside you can't tell me that that meat isn't juicy. I should have taken pictures of the inside of the fish sorry I just ate it all up. And the margarita on the rocks was great, with great flavor. They also have great prices. Oh this restaurant is in El Paso Texas.

    Sooooo, we had the Taco Del De Andale and I can’t recall the other dish! The live banging Mariachi Los Toritos was in the building and wow what an experience! The customer service was great! The food exceeded my expectations and the atmosphere was just what I needed. We’ll definitely be coming back

    The food was amazing and I liked it very much! The service was great too. There was even live music on the location. Drinks were great too. I was quite surprised when I got my Margherita, as it was gigantic! I absolutely recommend that restaurant, but I advise to make a reservation beforehand. I was lucky, as I arrived early, but when we left, there was a lot of people waiting for a table.

    Amazing food and took my husband to watch the mariachi music. We loved it all and the food and entertainment is even better than Carlos & Mickey’s.

    I went here Friday night for the first time. The atmosphere was really fun and Rebeca was a great waitress. My friend and I were so excited to try their margaritas and ordered the big size palerita. Unfortunately, it seemed to have no alcohol in it at all and we were disappointed to spent $28 for nothing. The drink looked amazing, but would not recommend.

    I’ve been here many times. My favorite thing lately is the lunch in a rush deal they have. I had chips and salsa, a drink, soup,a HUGE plate of Chile rellenos, and desert for $11.90 You can barely get McDonald’s for that price!! The food is always great and the service is always great too. This is my favorite spot

    This is a really fun restaurant to visit! The food is very flavorful and tasty. My husband and I came for date night and we had a great time. Food and drinks are reasonably priced, my only issue is how loud the music was. The singers were very entertaining but they had two different bands playing in two parts of the restaurant so that noise combined with the people made it very hard to even order our food.

    I ordered the Chile Colorado, family ordered the shrimp cocktail, flautas, and chicken Alfredo. I enjoyed my food a lot. The margaritas are also great! They can get very big so you need to be careful what size you order, unless your ordering to share. They always have great music or entertainment on the weekends and the wait staff is fast and awesome.

    Margaritas 🍹 were bomb! Fondito we had wasn't the best. Our server Adreana was awesome and the guy that helped translate the conversation for us was amazing. The live music is a must to hear!!! Wish prices were on the drink menu though.

    I went there on a Thursday night and the small bar that is adjacent to the main restaurant is a great old cantina vibe. They have live music and a full menu. It's a little loud if you're trying to have a conversation but the patio is also a good option. The staff was very attentive and the food was excellent!

    I would like to give 5 stars but I just felt like this restaurant while good...fell short for me.The corn and flour tortillas are sad:( the chips are waaaaaay to salty.Just little things that I would expect a Mexican restaurant to have down pat. Never got a napkin either:/ Service was however very good,very friendly staff. Food was just ok for me I would say around a 3. I visiting from out of town I expected just a little more quality from this restaurant. Maybe it was a off day but hey make some regular size tortillas and make sure they are served in a timely manner and HOT.Please!

    Service was great, waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the items in the menu. The prices were reasonable and their lunch special was very pleasing to the wallet. The pozole was great but my gorditas plate was nothing to be bragging about. The shredded beef had no flavor and it was dry. The beans n rice were below average. My coworkers ordered the flautas n literally said that Costco's tacos were probably better. The food didn't impress me at all.

  • 5/5 Gloria E. 3 years ago on Google
    Food selection is great!

  • 3/5 Yolanda M. 2 years ago on Google
    Its okay the place. I love the decorations all Mexican . The drinks are nice too. Everything nice but I have a different taste of food. That's why I give 3 stars it's not real Mexican food. It would be perfect if the food actually tasted good 😉

  • 5/5 Hunny B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was really cool, the atmosphere was amazing and the drinks were by far Texas size and Texas style. I had some delicious steak tacos unfortunately they came with this creamy green chili sauce on them that I wish I would have got on the side. Other than that everybody I was with enjoyed their meals and had a great time. I actually went back later in the evening and had some oysters to go! A must go to in El Paso!

  • 5/5 Shanie B. 2 years ago on Google
    My friend and I drove here from New Mexico as we’ve been told it’s the most authentic Mexican restaurant. When we got here there was a 2 hour wait to be served our food, so we decided to eat in the bar area which was supposed to be a shorter wait time. I guess someone got tired of waiting and we got seated in the main area that we wanted in the forest place. There was a mariachi band playing live music the drinks were AMAZING. I ordered some beef tongue tacos and fish tacos which was really GOOD I actually couldn’t finish my food as the serving portion was really big. I would DEFINITELY go back and recommend this restaurant!!

  • 5/5 Dave P. 2 years ago on Google
    We shared a birthday meal and we couldn't have had a better time anywhere else. The place was very busy and we still were given personal attention and we had an amazing time here. HIGHLY Recommended!

  • 2/5 Manuel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Order the black bass, when I was enjoying note it wasn't properly cooked told the waitress who said sorry for that and never escalate the problem, even the waitress supervisor only were busy with collecting dirty dishes from the table instead of asking the customers how were the service, please be professionals, you are serving sea food if it's not well cooked it could be dangerous, the prices are based to receive a better service.

  • 3/5 Danny M. 2 years ago on Google
    The restaurant was one of my favorites a few years back with amazing food and staff. I always enjoy my time here since the staff is so amazing, yet food quality and prices haven't kept up in that manner unfortunately. I would recommend for would-be dinners to check ahead for specials and Mariachi nights, those are the best times to go.

  • 5/5 Cynthia W. 2 years ago on Google
    First time trying Civache and it was amazing! The lemon margarita quenched my thirst and they also have a couple of other flavors that I'd never seen in my travels. Good location right off off Gateway. Reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Tamika M. 5 months ago on Google
    It’s been a while since I wrote a review. This place was everything! The atmosphere is wonderful. I really came to hear live music and they did not disappoint. I had the trio seafood tostadas. It was delicious. The jalapeño margarita was strong but it needed more spice. The service was outstanding. I enjoyed the overall experience. I definitely will be back.

  • 4/5 Cecilia M. 7 months ago on Google
    We went on September 16. A Mexican holiday. The restaurant was packed and in most tables were a party of 5 or more people. We wait for long time to get food on our table but sadly wasn't hot enough. I got chicken enmoladas. Waitress were so busy . Anyways i will get back and give it a second try.

    Very attentive and courteous staff, good food and beverages. The theme layout and decor was super ! I recommend you try andale restaurant. I had it for breakfast but I hear dinner is where you get to listen to the mariachi live.

    Special Shout out to Valerie for her hospitality at Andales Restaurant. Everything is great except the cashier was rude. That manager handled it. Thank you and I do recommend it.

  • 5/5 Hannah 4 months ago on Google
    Best flautas in El Paso. Atmosphere better than Carlos and Mickey's. The tortillas were thin and crispy, delicately fried golden to perfection. The shredded chicken was moist and deliciously seasoned. The live music was great and had a variety of performers, and the tables were closer together, making it more intimate of a setting with more personalized decoration. Guacamole is made tableside to your taste. Will be back.

  • 4/5 Rick M. 6 months ago on Google
    Went to eat with friends, bad look at the entrance, drunk guy was being mistreated by security. Other than that the entertainment was quite pleasing. A band, a solo singer and dj music made it nice.

  • 2/5 Rocio G. 3 years ago on Google
    It was supposed to be only a percentage of the capacity but at certain point it was packed and they took forever to bring the check.

  • 1/5 Jose S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) More than 3 hours waiting on the patio for a table and our bill was overcharged. We left very disappointed. We had planned a night of dinner and drinks with a good atmosphere and we left with a lot of heat and with an extra charge. It will definitely not be our first choice for a night of fun. Waited over 3 hour for a table in the patio area. We were hoping for a night of fun, food and drinks but ended up leaving with an over charge and very disappointed. Will definitely think twice before picking this establishment for a night of fun. (Original) Más de 3 horas esperando en el patio por mesa y nos sobre cobraron en la cuenta. Nos fuimos muy desepcionados. Teníamos planeado una noche de cena y tragos con un buen ambiente y nos fuimos con mucho calor y con un sobre cargo. Definitivamente no será nuestra primera opción para una noche de diversión. Waited over 3 hour for a table in the patio area.

    Really, really nice. More or less the typical environment of most restaurants is conservative right now with the current COVID-19 situation. Most every place that is open, feels creepy, or dead because of the social distancing limitations. Like life has been sucked out of many places. This place had live music blasting (despite just a singer with pre-recorded tracks). It felt alive, entertaining, and enjoyable while still keeping up with COVID-19 guidelines and regulations. Family dinner was great! The food was great! The meat on those tacos was soft. All flavor, all good service, all good enjoyable and safe atmosphere. Par to none! The restaurant has an bar and drinks are nicely made. Glad to have landed here. Hope everyone is safe and high standards and spirits are kept always.

    The food in phenomenal. Steak was tender and juicy in my tacos. The drinks are surprisingly large. Live music. My boyfriend and I came through and I wish I could remember the server's name who waited on us. She was the absolute best! I am learning Spanish and she let me practice on her. And she would speak in Spanish and then say it in English for me if I didn't understand. She was fast and accurate and kind. When we came in a week later she remembered us and said hi. This is our favorite spot and we will be back for sure!

  • 4/5 Christopher C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food is delicious. But if you are going to ask to take away, make sure you go in plenty of time because they have been there several times since I spoke for half an hour before and the food is not ready.

    My family and I are from out of town and picked Andale's because of its closeness to our hotel. Staff/server (Alfredo) was great; he was attentive, polite and engaging. Atmosphere was fun, we came at the end of live music. Food was incredible, so flavorful and fresh. If we ever find ourselves in El Paso again, we'll be back.
