😠 This place did a super horrible job. First off i specified on the app (UberEATS) no frijoles...i am allergic. The first thing i see is beans on my order. The chicken looked horrendous. And to make matters worst. I ordered 2 desperate orders of steak tacos...do you know these folks sent steak tortas.... People often mention plate, good, tacos, delicious, beans, time, burrito, husband, cheese, friendly,

    This place did a super horrible job. First off i specified on the app (UberEATS) no frijoles...i am allergic. The first thing i see is beans on my order. The chicken looked horrendous. And to make matters worst. I ordered 2 desperate orders of steak tacos...do you know these folks sent steak tortas....i'm speechless. The level of not caring is through the roof and I could tell based on the lack of quality and lack of attention to detail. I ordered from here excited based on the reviews. Now I just want my money back...very upsetting

    It was my first time trying out this place and i left very disappointed. I went only for a simple papas on chorizo burrito and they basically took 30+ minutes to provide it to me. Super inconvenient and to top it off the lady was super rude when providing me with my burrito. Its ridiculous how long i had to wait. People were even honking not even a "thank you for your patience." The lady didn't even acknowledged me. Sadly, never again. UPDATE: so i am currently attempting to eat my "papas con chorizo" burrito and this burrito looks more like a beans burrito with 3 little potatoes that are not even cooked right and a chorizo slice just put in there. This is unacceptable.

    I ordered huevos rancheros, and most people who know this plate, knows that the eggs come with red sauce on top. This had cheese all over the plate. Cheese on the beans, cheese on my eggs, it was too much of it. I tried taking it back and was told no. The plate came with coffee and once she brought it to me she never again filled up my cup. After I couldn't eat it, and left the food, I asked the cashier if they could help me by just charging me half and was also told NO. My experience here, which was my first time by the way, was awful.

    Skip this place. Have gone several times and they can never get the orders right. Always missing items. Drive thru is even worse. Ordered two menudos and two burritos with cheese. No cheese on the burritos, no spoons, bread and the extras for the menudo. I would give it half a star if possible.

    Went there for dinner, I had the chicken tacos, and my wife had the Mexican plate, both of which were very good. I like that they use "real" beans instead of the canned/pureed type that I've had at other restaurants. Breakfast and lunch are usually busy but you practically have the whole restaurant to yourselves at dinner time.

    Nice lil cozy spot! The burritos are great. I'll be honest I've only tried the breakfast here but it always hits the spot. Great flavor and friendly attentive staff. The drive thru lines do get kinda long sometimes, but it moves fast enough.

    Over price , rude service, food is awful. Burritos were so salty , no taste . Hamburger’s fríes to oily. First and last time. Bad thing about it. Everything I bought ended up in the trash. Where it belongs. To bad it doesn’t let me post it without putting a 1star .

    So my husband and I were out and about doing errands and we decided to check this place out. They have a drive thru but we decided to eat in. Very clean, friendly staff and were seated right away. Our waitress was super friendly and made the experience much more enjoyable. We told her this was the first time going there and what she recommended. She said all the platos Mexicano were really good and the shrimp tacos. My husband ended up ordering a limonada with the Chile relleno and I got an Horchata with the shrimp tacos. His plate came with flour tortillas which were so delicious and our waitress let us know the rellenos were actually just finished so they were hot off the stove. They weren’t greasy and looked like they were pan fried vs deep. My husband seriously liked them and ate both the rellenos that came with the order. My shrimp tacos were amazing! It came with 3 tacos, rice and fries. The tortillas were really good and each taco had 2 med/large shrimp inside. They were lightly fried so they had a good crunch to them with every bite. They put a sauce on top which had a small kick but was more mellow and savory than spicy. The fries are homemade but done very well. So far some of the best shrimp tacos I’ve had! I also really enjoyed the horchata which was sweet (my husband said it was super sweet but it was perfect for me.) but it helped me enjoy the salsa that came with our meal which was spicier than I thought. All in all, my husband and I enjoyed our food and can’t wait to try more from their menu but I will admit, we weren’t the biggest fans of the rice. It just was too overpowering with seasoning. But it wasn’t such a huge deal that we still feel the place deserves 5 stars and is probably gonna be a new favorite of mine.

    Found this cute place by chance. Great selection. Fast service, these waitresses were lightening fast, Ive never seen it anywhere, they were taking orders serving pouring coffee getting drinks, get here early It gets packed. We came in for breakfast delicious!!!!♥️ Everything was delicious & piping hot, coffee was on point. They even have a drive thru.

    I expected something different I guess. Sometimes the food will be better and sometimes not so much. Probably depending on the shift. I chose it because of the schedule since they open early in the morning but definitely are better places to go. Make sure you check your order before leaving.

    Love they wear uniforms, they look like pros, they are open early. Most places are closed except for the chains. I had two chorizo egg and potatoes/bacon cheese) tacos, (they are loaded) and a Coke Zero. It was delicious and hit the spot :) $12.

    We had the Mexican Plate, Tacos de lengua, and menudo. Everything was pretty good. The tostadas they serve with the salsa are not to my liking. I've never liked the round ones. Have been here a couple of times.

  • 4/5 lizgtz13 1 year ago on Google

    Delicious 😋 I had the chimichangas plate and a barbacoa burrito. Was not greasy at all. The beans and rice were wonderful also. Great and friendly service.

    Drive thru is very slow. Got in line for 2 Burritos and had a looong wait. Care in front had a big order, but they didn't move him up to wait. Our Burritos were sitting getting cold.

    First of all the place was overcrowded, we were just standing at the entrance waiting for someone to let us know where to sit without realizing you should just rush to get any available table. When we go in, we tried to take a table, but it had no chairs, we had to stand there for a while and ask if someone could PLEASE help us sit down, they take their time (our time). Even when a restaurant seems this popular that makes you think that at least the food is worth it, the disappointment is a sudden slap in the face.

  • 1/5 Chrissy L. 1 year ago on Google
    I gave it 1 star because the waitress was friendly. Other then that, save your money and go elsewhere. The refried beans tasted like they came straight from a can and little cheese thrown on top. The chips are stale and clearly from a bag .. guacamole looked pureed and absolutely no flavor ,fries half cooked. I asked for sweet tea and was given unsweetened tea and the sprite was Flatt. 25 bucks for 2 people . SMH.

    I had a great experience today with breakfast. Ordered the special, juevos a la mexicana, and it was delicious. The service was beyond expectation. Drinks stayed filled, the wait staff was very attentive. The staff was courteous across the board. The food was delicious and at a very very competitive value. Even the plate presentation was good. I should have taken a picture.

    Wait staff and chef are very meticulous about their responsibility to the customer. Their cod with toasted garlic topping is my favorite-amazing and juicy flavors. I just discovered that their Enchilada plate is excellent as well. Their lemonade is superior, natural and not too sweet. I always tip both the waitress and the chef. I wish the fancy restaurants in town could match their quality and flavor on these items- they are that good.

    While the phone number via caller ID may seem like it's from Eastern Europe, it is indeed here in El Paso! They have some of the best Mexican food on the go I have tried in a while! Eat local, El Paso!

  • 5/5 Randal W. 2 years ago on Google
    Their chips and salsa are perfect. Their food always tastes great. Their service is kind, prompt, and respectful. Ambience Mexicana auténtico Precios... $ This is one of my favorite restaurants.

    We've been coming here for years. The food is amazing and the plate servings are big. Their warm tortillas and food are delicious! Elsa is the best and always treats us like family, makes us feel right at home. I highly recommend this restaurants to others looking for delicious Mexican food!

  • 5/5 Todd A. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is awesome!!!!. I was originally heading to one of the chain restaurant breakfast places when my Uber driver made a suggestion to give this place a try. So glad he did. Maria was amazingly attentive and quick and made a good suggestion for me. I had a plate of scrambled eggs refried beans hash browns sausage and coffee for less than $10. Would recommend to anyone!!!!
