“ The food was delicious. However the Chile cor carne was basically just potatoes and a tiny bit of deshebrada meat. So basically just potatoes in Chile. The staff was great and friendly. ”

“ This place is awesome the gorditas are bomb the place has vibes and the food is really delicious go and try it out I highly recommend it ”
“ The food was good. You get your food fast. It's a real fast paced place. Meaning you see allot of people in and out. It doesn't seem like a place to sit and relax it's more like go have lunch and leave. The place was clean they had ran out of containers for the salsa but I did let an exployee know and they quickly solved the issue. It was mostly a Spanish speaking place that I noticed but I'm sure there would be someone who spoke English that would help. I've gone several times the food is good and the price is even better. ”
“ I am hooked! I normally never eat out and there's only one or two restaurants that I eat out because it's either too expensive too salty too greasy. But this place is just right. My colleagues and I go here regularly to pick up. The staff is always very friendly And kind. But all my El Paso people are! The building is old, but that's not gonna stop me from ordering. ”
