Border Food Juarez-El Paso

Nothing compares to chicos in El Paso. But I’ll take it. Disappointed that they discontinued chile rellenos. Those were my favorite. For that only 3 stars

OMG! I am definitely coming back to this place! I just moved here from El Paso a month ago and I have been going through withdrawals!
Upon walking in, it’s clean, a good size restaurant and the pictures on the wall all remind me of El Paso! Even on the ceilings are shirts from the high schools and UTEP there as well!
If you’ve ever been to El Paso, traveled through there and had chico’s tacos, you’ll have to try this place!!! The tacos are a bit larger here and the tortilla wrapping the tacos taste a bit different but it is pretty comparable! The sauce is pretty good too and the cheese on top actually melts! They have a bit more of a selection here than chicos like menudo, elote en vaso, raspados, and ice cream bars too. I will be coming back for sure!!!

Great food and staff. Always friendly! The elotes are amazing! They are spicy just how I like um. My kids love the churros

This place is consistently good. The employees are always friendly and genuinely kind in their customer service.
The Nachos con Desembrada aka Shredded Beef Nachos make my mouth water just typing about them.
The Fish Tacos are crispy and filling. The sauce on them is creamy yet refreshing.
The Juarez Flautas are just how my mom makes them.
The cuisine from the Northern part of Mexico is rarely represented, this place nails it!

This place gets it!
The name says it all. What a great way to market themselves I could not think of a better way myself.
Let’s face it if your here it’s because at some point you have had a great experience with food in either Juarez and or El Paso, and you want to recreate that experience.
This place delivers is value taste and customer service. The food is legit, they are fast and friendly the restaurant is clean and inviting.
You do feel as if for a second you leave Vegas and are eating at your favorite joint in either of these two cities with great culinary staples known to each.
Great job to whoever brought this much needed concept. The only thing I’m sad about is not coming sooner.

Great food all around I stop and eat here every chance I get… From the tacos de chicharron to the burrito de Chile Colorado … Taste like real Mexican home food… Oh yea menudo is great…

Great place to get a taste of home! Some pretty close version of Chico’s Tacos and some Juarez Feria Flautas! Menudo is great too!

Excellent Mexican fast food restaurant. Great service, great prices, and great food. Feels like I’m back in El Paso.

I had to post a review because this place was wonderful! When I ordered the Barbacoa tacos the lady who waited on us mentioned another type of taco they had (I don’t remember the name of it but it sounded like they don’t always have it-​it) so we ordered that too. Both tacos were perfect but the one that was suggested ended up being our favorite. The El Paso taquitos are amazing! It’s best to order tacos or something else to eat while the taquitos cool down and the cheese melts. I can’t wait to go back!

If I could make a suggestion they need to go to the original cheese, and possibly double fried the tacos so they didn’t get soggy. The meat inside the El Paso flautas are better, the sauce is a thousand times better!
Those French Fries … OMG are the bomb!!! Don’t know what you guys do to them but don’t change a thing!!!
I do know you guys need to add burgers to the menu, if those guys in EL PASO are complaining about it F’em! You’re guys menu is way better than theirs, and they should have gotten a trade mark on it!!!
If you guys make these little changes theirs nothing stopping you guys!!!

I came here from a friend’s recommendation to try their Colitas de Pavo. Now I’m reaching out to all of you saying «Try it!» You will not be disappointed.
Besides that, the restaurant is pretty clean. The only problem I had was the wait. I was standing at the cash register for quite some time before someone came to help me.
Can’t wait to come back for some more!

Great food I’ve tried almost everything and all has been good, great customer service

Maybe it is because I came in the middle of the afternoon. Maybe it is because the ambience lacked the typical festive energy of a Mexican restaurant but I didn’t really enjoy this place. I walked in without anyone in line, and received no greeting whatsoever… A little bit of a downer. In fact, and despite my inability to make a choice at first, the cashier and those behind the counter never bothered to make a suggestion of a dish for me to try.
I decided to play it safe and ordered a steak burrito. Evidently their version of said typical dish only includes beans and a choice of meat. I was really disappointed to learn they do not have any rice or much of anything else to add to their dishes. The steak was somewhat crunchy (a bit old), the beans lacked taste and the meal was, overall, not remarkable at all.
I must sadly say this is is not the place to visit for good food.

Pretty freakin close to Chico’s. It was delicious and I was sad that when I went in that it was empty! People don’t know what they are missing! Just great and it filled my craving!

If you’re searching for authentic Mexican food then this is the place to go. Everything on their menu is delicious. They have the best elote en vaso outside the park. It’s really close to my house and the costumer service is amazing they’re all very nice people

The double order of El Paso taquitos will be the highlight of your day. Crisp yet saturated in sauce, messy by the end of the meal but on point in flavor.
The barbacoa, on either a burrito or a taco, will make you miss home. Throw on some cilantro and onions from the salsa bar before you take it to go and try not to cry as you eat: not only is it perfectly soft, it’s also full of flavor, unlike other places.
Surprise menu hit: the turkey neck! Ordered it as a torta but my order was received wrong as a «side» in a taco, but the cut of meat is still perfectly flavorful and fatty and fried fresh. Probably best as a torta, will have to order it again.
For the reviewer who said it’s inauthentic to use yellow cheese: we’re talking about hood border food, not the meal you got while at a resort in Cancun, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

Absolutely delicious. I have never had anything like the flautas El Paso before, but they are great! And all at a reasonable price. I will absolutely be back.

This food sucks. Horchata sucks taste like water with a lil of cinnamon. Eww the burritos are very thin and have no rice, no flavor at all. the sopes looked ok, but the first bite says run away!!! It had some thing crunchy in it, i look and beans very hard. Has no flavor. Raspado de Tamarindo eww nasty. The only good thing was the salt with lemon. My experience. 9÷2÷14 Never coming here again. Disgusting

I have ate here several times. The food is always delicious, hot and fresh. The service has always been very good and friendly. In my opinion they are better than Chicos Tacos in El Paso, Tx.

It’s not Chico’s Tacos but it’s pretty damn close! I like this place a little better because they have tables and chairs instead of only booths. They also have functional AC in here.
We drove 25min across town to check it out and I’m glad we did. The presentation is on point. Looks just like Chico’s. Their sauce is a little more watery and their cheese melts unlike Chico’s. Pour some green salsa on
top and enjoy these beef flautas. You can order a single or double of them. You might need a fork by the time you get to the bottom but those ones are the best. They’ve been marinating in the red sauce. When you’re done dunk your fries in there too.
I also ordered the flautas Juarez while we were here. I chose the chicken ones. They were crunchy and cooked to perfection. Lettuce, cheese and a green sauce were on top of them.
The elote comes in a cup off of the cob with all of the toppings. Way easier to eat it like that.
While enjoying your food check out the ceiling. There is T-​Shirts from the original Chico’s Tacos. Saw an El Paso Chihuahuas one up there too (minor league baseball team). There’s also a lot of historic pictures of El Paso and Juarez all around the restaurant.
The staff was very friendly and spoke both Spanish & English fluently.
