El Paso Mexican Restaurants East Harlem

Crazy good Taco Tuesday Night Deal! The special is two tacos and a margarita for $15. When most restaurants in the city charge $15 for a Margarita alone, this is a snag. I would recommend either getting an empanada or another taco since the 2 tacos alone didn’t fill me. I got the house marg, two chorizo tacos, and a beef empanada and would order all of them again!

I had zero expectations coming to this place after spontaneously making the decision to give it try from the simple fact that my boyfriend and I were hungry. He and I were taken by surprise at how good the food tasted from the chips and guacamole with salsa to the appetizers to the main meal. On top of that, the service was on point. I haven’t had authentic Mexican food like this since I lived with my mother 10 years ago. I highly recommend this spot if you are craving good Mexican food.

Fantastic lunch + drinks today! I've eaten here years ago, and was thrilled to eat here again. Two of us enjoyed the outdoor dining in the milder weather, and ordered off the Lunch Special menu: -1 chicken empanada- wow! Outstanding, especially with the sauce - carne asada burrito bowl - Omelett con frijoles & aquacate, perfectly crunchy yet soft veggies + Spinach to complement the eggs, this was awesome! -Margarita, on the rocks, as recommended by our friendly helpful server -Paloma This was a perfect spot for a fresh and very tasty lunch today!

I used to love this place. They had three locations I used to frequent, but then I moved. I came back to the city, excited to come back to the location. The wait staff was very nice and accommodating. They have tables outdoors and indoors, so the waitstaff is busy going back and forth. Food was good. Though there was no pico de Galo, very little jalapeño and a small amount of guacamole, no sour cream, and pre shredded cojita cheese (that’s odd for a ‘authentic’ Mexican spot), I enjoyed the nachos. The tacos were also nice. The drinks? My husband and I both got drinks- he got a piba colada and I got a passion fruit frozen margarita My guy they tasted like water was the primary flavor. It was trash. I’ve never had such a flavorless margarita in my life. My husband couldn’t even really drink his piña colada. So if you want good food, come here. If you want alcohol, stick with the beer. I guess COVID affected this spot hard cause it’s just not the same. Maybe I went on an off night. If I ever go back I’ll update.
