tried this restaurant when we first moved to the area, we will always go back. this is fine dining for the city. we always have great service, are never rushed and the food is always awesome. it's not cheap, but well worth the extra if you want the best!

review; garufa, el paso, tx........ samuel breceda, the manager 0f garufa in el paso, texas, is by far the most disconnected-to-diner manager i have ever known. i took my son and daughter-in-law to the restauran`t this evening to celebrate my son's birthday and my husband's passing on the same date - february 7, 2013. we expected more than we got. the waiter was very professional except when my daughter-in-law complained that the steak was not rare. he told her to cut it in the middle and she would see that it was rare. it was a bit red but not at all juicy. i order the 44$ special ribeye and it was also overcooked. an d it was not juicy; it was dry. had i gone to a competing restaurant, less expensive to say the least, i would have enjoyed the meat alot more. i didn'tsay anything and ate the steak. i didn't want to wait for another steakand i also thought that if it's not good on the first try, it probably won't be good on the second. a restaurant of excellence doesn't fail on the first try.....at the end of the dinner, and after paying the bill, i decided to give a review 0f the plates we had had. maybe next time the chef would get it right with other diners. the waiter called the manager and he heard my complaint with no expression on his face. his answer was: "if you didn't like the steak why did you eat it?" he made no attempt to empathize with us, the diners, saying something that would have made it sound like he cared. he just questioned why we ate the meat and then, "what did we want him to do? no pr, no understanding, no initiative to make some kind of amend. we left very dissatisfied fom the restaurant.

great experience. the decor invites you in, the food was delicious and the service was spot on - the only thing that i wasn't crazy about was the plating of the side items

nothing special. when a restaurant portrays itself as a fine dining establishment, i think it's safe for one to expect high quality food. unfortunately, there was nothing special about my steak, in fact, it was under seasoned. i've had better steak at cheaper and less pretentious places in town.

i really want to like this place and i will have to try it a few more times before i give it my full review and rating. but for now, i'm simply not impressed.

garufa. i really enjoyed the communication as soon as i walked in. they were very welcoming and very organized. as soon as we sat down they asked for our drink order and gave us enough time to look over and be informed about the menu. waiter was very professional and well informed. had the tenderloin, absolutely delicious. atmosphere was perfect with live music on the second floor. i truly enjoyed the experience and can't wait to go back.

great food. went for lunch on a saturday. atmoshpere of restaurant was great. was greeted warmly and seated promptly. service was very good. ordered the steak burger. it may be over used in reviews but that burger just might have been the best i ever had. everyone at my table had good thing to say reference their meals.
some might say pricey but i say worth every cent. will be going back for sure.

we really loved every aspect of our experience at garufa’s …. the decor, the service, and the cuisine. and it’s just down the road from where we live. our meal was not cheap, but i’m not expecting cheap when i get something of this quality. this is a place that we will certainly return to again for a special night out.

overrated mexican chain. i'd say this place is over-priced and over-rated. yeah, they have some decent steak cuts on the menu, but them getting your doneness right is hit or miss. for the price, it should always be perfect. the entree i usually order, lomo al vino tinto, is a tenderloin (filet) in a sweet red wine reduction. i've had it and its been delicious and cooked a perfect medium rare, and then also had it overcooked, and with no flavor. their chimichurri, is mexicanized as is their whole menu and a real argentino would probably be insulted. the empanadas leave a lot to be desired.

just got back from from having a great birthday dinner here. really surprised at such a high quality steak in el paso. btw, local texans don't know anything about a great steak(cattlemen's). come here for just the steak because appetizers were just mediocre. we tried the grilled provolone, empanadas and tuna carpaccio. wife had the rib eye and i had the new york strip. both were great at rare-med rare. value was decent given that a recent meal at morton's cost me the same amount for just one person! would recommend this place for any carnivore.

good food!!. i have actually had real argentinean food and garufas is not it. still the food is pretty good though!! i only wish it was a bigger place, i think the reason it is always packed is because it is so small. service could have been better though, i felt like just because i didn't wear a suit and tie, they could take their sweet time. people looked at me as if i was about to spend my life savings on dinner that night!! overall it was good.

my favorite stakehouse in el paso.. i always get the "lomo a medio caballo", beef tenderlon with an overeasy egg on top. the yolk is a unike enhancer for top quality meats. always with a merlot, and a marcelo salad. never been disapointed! two big thumbs up for garufa.
