Halo Halo Filipino Food — Restaurant in El Paso

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Halo-Halo Filipino Food located at 12135 Montwood in El Paso, Texas, and let me tell you - this place is a hidden gem that you absolutely cannot miss! When I first walked in, I was struck by the inviting atmosphere that effortlessly combines a market with a vibrant dining space.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was excited to dive into flavors that wonderfully differ from the Mexican cuisine that we often enjoy here in El Paso. The menu is a delightful showcase of authentic Filipino dishes that burst with flavor and creativity. Every bite took me on a journey through the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines. The food is not only fresh but also beautifully presented, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable.

What stood out to me the most was the incredible customer service. The staff at Halo-Halo are not only friendly but genuinely passionate about what they serve. They provided great recommendations and took the time to explain dishes and ingredients to me, making me feel right at home. It's evident that they care deeply about their customers and the food they serve.

And let's talk about the prices! For the quality and freshness of the food, I found the prices to be more than fair. I left feeling satisfied and grateful that El Paso has such a wonderful spot for Filipino cuisine!

If you’re in the area or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by Halo-Halo Filipino Food. Trust me, you won’t regret it. It's proof that El Paso was, indeed, missing this delicious experience!...

Visited with on Friday. We came a little later in the lunch hour so there was no line. The staff was very friendly and got my to-go order ready pretty quick.

I went with the BBQ pork plate. The pork was awesome melt-in-your-mouth goodness that had a great grilled flavor like it just came from the backyard grill. The pork plate came with lumpia, which are almost like eggrolls. Only better. Be sure to try them with the tangy dipping sauce. My plate also came with pancit noodles. Pancit is like stir-fried lo-mein. Only way better!

I also tried a cup of pork rib calderata (stew). This is a tasty stew with small pieces of soft pork rib, carrots, and potatoes. It was delicious! My dad had this for his entrée.

For sides, we got siaopao (pork steam buns). These are rolls of the softest bread. Filled with more of that amazing BBQ pork. I also had a chicken empanada. It was filled with chicken and veggies. It was almost like a chicken pot pie.... in an empanada! And delicious!

Finally, for dessert, we shared a large halo-halo. This traditional dessert drink has layers of ice cream, flan, fruit, and crushed ice. It's really sweet so have a glass of water ready.

Five stars, because I can't give 10! I'd go again! The food was amazing! Salama po...

I've been an advocator of this place since it opened and love the food; I come in regularly. However, I came in this afternoon and was met with some animosity. I'm not exactly sure why. I typically order the same thing and wanted to try something new so I asked and the owner hit me with the "everything is good". However she did let me try what I was curious about and I liked it enough to order it. Overall nothing significant but still slightly unfriendly which magnified the negativity of the next event. My issue started is when I ordered two Halo Halos and was waiting for a good 5-10 minutes. Initially it wasn't a problem since it was busy with only two people handling the orders. That is until a guy two people behind me approached the register and also ordered two Halo Halos. He recieved his first despite me ordering a decent chunk of time before him. I tried to let the staff know but they rushed me out with a "Thank you." Before I got a chace to speak. My Halo Halos were partially melted by the time I recieved them, indicating they had been sitting there for some time. Overall I felt unwelcomed and...
