Delicious food. Everything has such vibrant colors and bold flavor. I was surprised by how good everything was. The fish taco with grapefruit was out of this world. I still dream about it sometimes. Prices are on the steep side. You need a reservation to get in. The place is a little small and feels a bit claustrophobic. But the food is well worth it.
On October 21st, my boyfriend and I went to Elemi for the first time. Sadly, it was their last day before they closed for relocation to the Far East. I must say it was such a great experience. Words are not enough to describe how excellent everything was. Food, omg! Amazing!
We are looking forward to visiting at their new location.
Quaint place down town. Only a few tables with a nice bar. We had the Brussel Sprout appetizer, which was well done with a nice sauce and glaze. All the tacos were delicious. A for sure place to revisit or recommend to others.
My words pale the experience you will have here, I assure you. The flavors are incredible in each and every dish at this tiny little treasure in downtown. The juxtaposition of astringent to savory, the fresh pops....not to mention the artistry expressed in each dish that comes out of the kitchen. Go. The food adventure awaits you!
Every bite of everything ordered tasted fabulous. Fresh and flavorful. The cremini mushrooms were absolutely decadent. The mushroom and black bean taco was a real treat. I'm not a big fan of crispy cheese, so next time I'd order without the cheese, but it was still delicious. The blue corn tortillas are amazing!
Now let's talk about the Brussels sprouts.....absolutely the way every brussel should be prepared!! Properly charred, roasted, and in this most savory sweet sauce with an almost chocolatey cream dip. Hands down a dish worth returning for over and over again!
The dining room is small and it can get quite noisy between all the guests talking and the music playing, but the tables are not too close and the floor to ceiling windows makes it feel more spacious.
Happy hour until 6pm ....and call to make a reservation. It's a gem of El Chuco!
It was my first time here but have heard good things. I was not disappointed. The place is small but cozy. The food is excellent in presentation as well preparation. The service was fast and staff was friendly. It's a busy place so recommend making reservations.
I went to a birthday party there. The atmosphere was very relaxing. We got a pizza and it was delicious. Too bad it was too cold outside so we couldn't stay outside the patio too long.
Service was good, the food was decent, but they didn’t have very much selection. They had a few tacos and some small appetizers. The tacos were about six dollars each and they were regular size tacos.
Great spot while visiting El Paso.
This is real food, and it is amazing!
Must get the Huarache. The green chorizo is unique, it's colored with spinach puree.
This is the standard of what a taco should be. Just the best tasting and most flavorful dining experience I've had in a while. The duck was amazing, the rabbit was absolutely delicious and the cod was just awesome! The rice pudding was off the chain.
