Oldest family own restaurant in El Paso! 4 generations passed down. Incredible history and the food lives up to the hype. Hands down best Tex-Mex I’ve ever had. Fajitas and flautas were delicious! Really good green salsa & the enchiladas were massive! … More

I am originally from El Paso and have never tried this place. I can see why I never did. For so much boasting about this place the experience for my wife and I was subpar, horrible. At the beginning it was nice when we were greeted and taken to our tables. A bit later the server takes our order, mole enchiladas and cheese entomatadas for me. After a while we see that people that got there after us receive their orders. After around 30-35 minutes read this again, 30-35 minutes the server decides to check on our order!!! She returns and says the kitchen lost the ticket and to remind her of our order again which we did. I do understand mistakes are made but what was unacceptable was the fact that when the order came it was wrong!!! The cheese enchiladas had chicken in them,I did not want chicken in them not my preference the flavor combination with the combination of veggies was not to my taste ,the flavor was bland! Why was nothing done to resolve this???? Take accountability from your o
