Cafe Mayapan — Restaurant in El Paso

Excellent spot but will never go back..I actually went to a beautiful wedding shower there..years back BUTThere's 2 waitresses Griselda and Hilda who are sisters and have history of credit card fraud, abusing pills .etc but yet advocate for Mujer Obrera with very strong thoughts and opinions..( Griselda's son has pending charges of credit card fraud..assault..etc ( he obtained a senior citizens credit card w/o permission.) I saw them and made sure I paid with cash!! Get rid of them and I will definitely be back! That is not the end either these two grown ladies have history of breaking car windows.. I'm assuming it's not like father like son it's like mother like son with these folks . I was Disgusted when I saw that both work at this fantastic restaurant who is all about helping out women in need of help and a job.* This restaurant actually hires women who are struggling and need help but yet some of these old women probably deserve to struggle with such horrible actions towards others !! Shame on you Griselda and Hilda!! You do not represent Mujer Obrera very well😔.. good thing that these customers see these ladies as hard-working ,single indigent mother's... Outside of work it's a whole...

A coworker introduced me to this hidden place off of Texas street. We were attracted to the albondigas with fideo. I ordered a large size. I also ordered a potatoe flauta plate with rice and beans. The staff was welcoming and showed us around the building while we waited for our prepaid to go food. After waiting for our food, the server brought my bagged order and said , we ran out of albondigas, so we gave you what we had left and an extra side of chicken soup instead. I was dissappointed and would have preferred she ask me what I wanted to do. Maybe order something else or get my money back. I had already waited too long and had to get back to work so I accepted the replacement soup. The large cup had two turkey albondigas in it. The food was good and the place has a story. I will have to go back again to see if I can try a full order and some of their other dishes. Check it out. Their menu has some good choices....

This place is one of the most authentic eateries in El Paso. They do not sell conventional Mexican food. You would typically find this type of cuisine in southern Mexico. I love the fact it is off the beaten path and has an educational and cultural aspect to it. The music that they play is amazing as well. If you are lucky to find a live band, you are in for a serious treat! Foodwise, their tostadas and salsa is on point! It is slightly spicy with tons of flavor. Not that watered-down stuff that some restaurants pawn out do to "make it last". I ended up choosing the Chile Verde. It was amazingly well done. Something that an Abuelita would make for you. The refried beans were delicious and rice was excellent as well. I loved the corn tortillas, they were freshly made without the...
