el paso mexican restaurant

excellent friendly service and food made with pride. great tex mex with more options than the average canned refried beans type of texmex .
tacos come with big sections of fresh avocados.
the chicken burrito had actual diced chicken meat in it.
the delicious fresh salsa has real diced tomatoes, onions and cilantro.
the nachos are abundant and half-price on fridays.
el paso believes in pico de gallo sauce which makes it a real comfort food, stick to your ribs texmex place.

i love the food here. it's made from scratch and it is great.its a very plain place but the food is yummy and the owner is sweet.

molcajete. moctezuma molcajete (pork,beef,chicken,shrimp,mex sausage,onions,cactus...served in a traditional molcajete(stone grinding bowl)

where is the chicken?. my wife and arrived at around 12:15pm today (wednesday) and there was only one other table occupied though one other family and two businessmen arrived shortly thereafter. we received ice water with our menus and were soon munching on chips and a delicious fresh salsa. we each opted for a chicken enchilada plate that includes beans and spanish rice. the enchiladas were almost devoid of chicken and the overall meal was disappointing. we also took home a slice of coconut flan that turned out to be humongous, but very light on flavor.

authentic mexican. this hole in the wall mexican restaurant was a little difficult for us to find but well worth the effort. i had a gift certificate that was set to expire this evening so we decided to dine there on a tuesday night. there were only 3 other patrons at 6:30pm plus one waitress. we were served house made taco chips plus a delicious fresh salsa that had a bit of heat to it. for entrees my wife ordered a large chili relleno stuffed with chicken that included beans, a few slices of tomato and rice. i opted for a plate of 4 chicken enchiladas with the same sides and requested all three of their sauces. both entrees were bountiful and delicious. note: there is a large parking lot immediately behind the restaurant in case you cannot find a spot on the street.

it was the perfect comfort food for the dribbling rainy weather we were having that day, but i encourage you to go no matter what kind of day you're having. it's probably great apocalypse food too. our only regret was that we didn't leave room to try the coconut flan, but don't worry, we'll be back.

so authentic. really great food and reminds you of being in a mexican cantina. great mole and the bean soup comes in a home-made tortilla bowl!

best mexican restaurant!. we moved from chicago to connecticut 13 years ago, and had been looking for a good mexican restaurant ever since. finally found el paso about 4 years ago, and no one else compairs. the food is great and ever so authentic! we love it there! couldn't ask for nicer people too! it doesn't have to be fancy to be good!

authentic. if you want real mexican, this is the place. the prices are very reasonable, the owners are always friendly and welcoming..the only negative is the decor. there is no ambiance. it looks more like the inside of a take out chinese restaurant (same tables and chairs). food is always great though.
