    Stopped in for lunch with a colleague. Got the super burrito. Delicious burrito and came out incredibly fast. Chips and salsa are a must some of the best I’ve had at a Mexican restaurant. El Paso always delivers at every location one of my favorite places to go. Service at this one was specifically great

    Surely these reviews are not legitimate, at least the ones raving about how wonderful it is. We dined here this past week, and the entire experience was awful. 1.Restaurant was freezing cold, who wants to dine in their coats? we did. 2. The food was a joke, not once were we asked how everything was which was probably a good thing, let's face it, it's not the waitstaffs fault. With all the Latin restaurants we could've picked on RT 1 we for sure picked the worse. Taco Bell serves better food, sad but true.

    This was a nice local Mexican restaurant. It was getting pretty cold outside so I opted for the Sopa de Abuela. It was a chicken and rice soup that had avocado slices in it and tortilla strips in it. It was a nice comforting dish to have on a cold winter evening.

    This restaurant was a big disappointment. I had previously dined here and had a good experience, which is exactly why I chose this restaurant to gather a group of friends and family—10 people in total. As a courtesy, we called the restaurant two hours in advance to inform them that a party of 10 would be coming, with an estimated arrival time of 45 minutes to an hour. The initial phone conversation was difficult, as the person answering did not seem to understand what we were saying, but we eventually spoke with someone who did understand and acknowledged our call. When we arrived at the restaurant, we informed the staff again that we had called ahead regarding our party of 10. While we were waiting, a gentleman arrived a few minutes after us and spoke with the waitress in Spanish. Shortly after, the staff set up a large table for his group and seated them before us-even though we arrived first and had given advance notice. We were then told that the restaurant could not accommodate our party of 10 and that we would need to be considered separately. This was extremely unprofessional. If the restaurant could not accommodate a party of our size, that should have been clearly communicated during our phone call. Instead, another group arriving after us was accommodated without issue. The inconsistency and lack of professionalism were unacceptable. While the food and drinks may be good, the way customers are treated matters just as much. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this restaurant to others. It's truly disappointing, as our party was prepared to spend money, enjoy the evening, and support a local business. Sadly, they chose not to value our business.
