Great staff. Excellent servers! Our server was on point with everything including a fabulous smile. Great job my amigo

Quick stop and Wow ! Friendliest staff and truly great food ! Not sure what's better the quality ,quantity or price. They start you with fresh crisp chips and their homemade salsa, delicious. There were many choices for lunch and the prices were reasonable. Definitely worth the stop.

I rate in the top 1% in Mexican restaurant reviewers for Google as a Google local guide and was blown away by everything at El Paso! Incredible service, some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, and the atmosphere was exceptionally beautiful! Best salsa, chicken quesadilla, burritos, and margaritas hands down! I can't wait to go back and try more things.

Update 2/12/25: Still one of our favorites! Very consistent. Great staff. Great food. Finally tried this place since we moved a little too far from our old go-to. What a pleasant surprise! The outside doesn't do it justice. The interior decor is beautiful! Bright and fun atmosphere. There is a spacious, nicely decorated covered outdoor dining area that I can't wait to try when it's a bit warmer. The food was the best! They really know how to cook steak for nachos and fajitas. The queso was so yummy! We will definitely be back, frequently. UPDATE: We went back and tried some new items. Absolutely delicious!

My friend and I decided to try El Paso for lunch recently. I like the fact that you can order from the lunch menu every day, not just Monday through Friday. They menu had a little of everything, I decided on the grilled chicken breast which came with rice and beans and a small salad. The food had pretty good flavor, the chicken was a bit stringy and dry. The rice and beans had good seasoning and the side salad was bright and fresh. My friend had the chicken chimichanga and she enjoyed her food. I also had a jamaica drink and it was delicious. The chips and salsa were also tasty. The server was attentive, she just talked a little fast! Lol! All in all I enjoyed my meal. They also had lots of drink specials if you wanted an adult beverage.

My family and I came to this restaurant after church and had a wonderful experience. We were sat immediately and the salsa, drinks, and food came out very quickly. I cannot say enough nice things about our server Shana. She was probably the best waitress I have ever had at a restaurant. She was really sweet and super accommodating the whole time. It’s nice to have service with a great attitude. With that being said we will be back at this location.

El Paso was recommended by some friends so we had to try them out. The chips were warm and fresh and the salsa was thick, smoky and very tasty. Hubs got the lunch taco/enchilada/burrito combo and was satisfied. (He’s not a big Mexican food guy.) I got the chimichanga with shredded chicken. It tasted great, it just should have been covered in more queso. Overall, pretty dang good. We’ll be back to try other dishes.
