Reviews

My visit to L & J Cafe in El Paso, TX, was an absolute delight.
We were seated promptly, and our waitress provided amazing service throughout our meal.
The food portions were generous and tasted fantastic, truly living up to their reputation.
The cafe itself is a clean and well-kept establishment set in a charming, historic old building that adds to the overall experience.
While street parking in the area can be busy, we managed to find a spot without much trouble.
The prices were very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed.
Additionally, the lively atmosphere and friendly staff made our dining experience memorable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting El Paso.

An El Paso staple.
This classic restaurant located across the Concordia cemetery, has every dish to satisfy your Mexican appetite.
Service is fast and food is never bad! Just make sure to arrive a little early as this place can get slammed for dinner on any given day.

There is a lot of hype about this place so I went in with mediocre expectations. But... The food was spectacular.
Everything was fresh well made.
We tried a bunch of different items and my son who eats crazy hot sauces all the time got a jalapeno that challenged his tongue 😛. Totally worth the trip. I hope you are lucky enough to sit in Susana's section.
She's kind witty and took good care of us.

Thank you for your great review! We're thrilled to hear that our food surpassed your expectations and that our hot sauce brought some spice to your son's day! We appreciate your kind words about Susana and look forward to serving you again.
