El Paso — Restaurant in Ardmore

My friend and I have wanted to visit El Paso for quite a while, so today, on the way to buy some winning lottery tickets, we stopped for an early dinner.The dining room is spacious and attractive, with a distinct southwestern theme. The drinks are limited to soft drinks and beer so no margaritas to cool the fire (more about that in a minute). We ordered draft beers which were served up fast and cold in icy mugs. Very satisfying. The complementary chips and salsa were delivered almost as we sat down-salsa was chunky and packed a little spice as you kept munching on the warm, tasty chips (minor complaint: I wish Mexican restaurants would give each diner a separate bowl of salsa, especially during the pandemic, to allow each person to double dip if they wanted to). Refills on chips and salsa were also free. Mark had a quesadilla served with lettuce, pico de gallo and sour cream-the 'dilla was HUGE-maybe a 12" tortilla folded in half and stuffed with filling. My personal "standard" to measure a Mexican restaurant is Chile Colorado. It should bring a lot of caliente to the party and El Paso doesn't shirk their duty. In fact, their CC might be the hottest Chile Colorado I've eaten in a LONG time. It is not for the faint-hearted but it IS very flavorful with a big spicy heat that continues to build as you eat. The accompanying beans and rice were very good, tambien! I recommend El Paso highly. And I wish I'd had...

I’ve been a regular customer here for 18 years. I don’t know what the heck happened the other night or who the hateful witch was that answered the phone but I won’t attempt to eat here again. My husband called to order take out and since they changed their menu I couldn’t remember the number of the combination dinner I usually order. My husband described what was on the plate but she said she didn’t know what that was. I told him I’ve been ordering it for years. I was on speakerphone at the time. She started shouting at me demanding that I choose a number of the combo I wanted 1-13. I said I don’t remember and I don’t have a menu in front of me like she did. She continued shouting at me and my husband just hung up. I was very upset and shocked that this woman spoke to me this way. I’m disappointed I’ve been such a long time customer and I won’t get to eat here anymore but she was...

This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is always fresh & hot. Their Sunday buffet is packed with delicious options. My husband & I go every Sunday, after church, to pick up a takeout box or 2. We can eat off of a single to go box for 2 days. Our favorites are the chicken chimichangas & their chicken wings with a house made honey buffalo sauce. The wings are juicy, properly cooked & more sweet than spicy. They're tame enough that my 18 month old really enjoys them. The wings & guacamole are especially good! I wish I could remember the name of the gentleman that works the register & serves as a host. This young man is professional, personable & either he honestly cares about each & every customer or he's a master away faking it. LoL! But really the entire staff is always very kind, intelligent, well spoken & efficient. Thank...
