Really enjoyed Starlite (recently merged Rulis restaurants) and especially the service. Our waitress (Emily I believe) and provided us with great recommendations. The birria flautas were delicious

I'm super happy to see Starlight and Sazon with Chef Rulis. Though the menu changed a little, all of my favorites are here. Everything is good, but the Pasta Chihuahua is my favorite. It's really a unique flavor that I can honestly say that I've never had anything close to elsewhere. I also like the blue cheeseburger and the chicken pesto pasta but I need to come back a few more times to try the whole new menu. This is definitely where I would take out of town visitors, when they want a flavor of El Paso but and enlightened version of border food.

I booked a private event at the Starlite and everything was great! The Starlite team took care of all our needs and made our event special. The place is very nice, the patio was very comfortable and accommodating for our group. The food and drinks were delicious! I highly recommend the Starlite for a special event or an everyday meal.

Our first time here and all I can say is WOW!!! When you walk in you see beautiful, modern, yet relaxed seating. We had Demetrius as our server and he was AMAZING!!!! He made me a cranberry iced tea that was delish! The food was phenomenal! My mom and I had a chicken sandwich and the sourdough bread was fresh and delicious! You have to try the fries with the truffle seasoning! My mom had a moscato and she said it’s the best she’s ever had! This is definitely a must try!!!

I’m in town for a bit—I’m stationed overseas and honestly this is the best food I’ve had in El Paso. Starlite has a vibe I didn’t expect. The inside feels warm and relaxed, kind of like a mix between a cozy living room and an artsy lounge. The chandeliers, soft lighting, couches, and all the little decor details make the place feel comfortable. It’s the type of spot where you can settle in and enjoy being there.
The patio is great too. It’s spacious with string lights and wooden beams, and it has that laid back atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while.
The food is what really sold me. The Southwest Clam Chowda was incredible. The wings were some of the best I’ve ever had and the teriyaki flavor is something that’s comparable to the grand finale of a fireworks show in my mouth. Their award winning burger definitely deserves its reputation. I’ve never had a burger like that before.
Even the drinks stood out. The iced tea tasted freshly made, and the lemonade tasted so fresh it was like the lemons were picked that morning.
Chia, the owner, is fantastic. Really friendly and clearly proud of what she’s created. You can tell she puts a lot of heart into her menu.
If you want great food with a great atmosphere, this is the spot. Best place I’ve been to in El Paso.
