Tortilleria Crystal — Restaurant in El Paso

The place was not hard to find using the GPS. They open pretty early. The hours listed on google review are accurate. Parking is available but It seems it could be a problem during rush hour. I went at 7am approximately. You walk in and see a bar with the meats and etc. I ordered the Bistek and Chile rilleno. Excuse me if I spelled that wrong. However, I received my food pretty fast despite ordering 5 burritos and there were people ahead of me. The preparer was friendly and also explained to me about the other meats I've asked about despite the line. He also suggested adding few ingredients to my burrito for better taste and I am happy he asked me. As your burritos are being made you can grab some salsa on your own. The restaurant does not take credit cards and only accepts cash. However, there is an ATM right next to the cashier that charges 2. Something dollar for drawing money. The burritos are not pricy. Apx 2.5 per burrito. Not bad at all. They are decent size and fulfilling. The restaurant has tables and seats. Not quite big but not small at all. I took my food for to go. I must admit the burritos were amazing! The bistek was full of flavor and so tasty. Despite that it has some green chile in it but it was not spicy in a bad way. Would I go there again? Definitely. Good service and good quick bite for a burrito. The reason I gave this place 4 stars rather 5 was because of the no card situation but it is no...

Came here because my girlfriend follows the owners daughter on social media. Some of the food was tasty. Some of the food was very underwhelming. Biggest issue for me is the overall sanitation of the restaurant. I requested a cold bottle of water. I received one that was room temp and had red chili smeared down the side of the bottle. My son's bottled drink also had something smeared and dried on the exterior. When I was paying I looked behind the counter and there was a bin filled with raw meat laying on the floor with flies flying around it. My girlfriends gordita came out at room temp instead of nice and hot.

Today, the morning after going, 5 out of 7 of us are now sick with food poisoning. There's no way of knowing if it came from here. But given the sanitation issues and other reviews also making claims of food poisoning and failed inspections really narrows it down. In addition my girlfriend reports that she remembers that the lady she follows on sm, also had food poisoning in one of the videos. All signs points to this place being the culprit. Sad because we really wanted to like it. The lines are very long. I'm thinking the lines are long because the food is very cheap not because of the quality.

Also there is only one restroom and for some poorly designed reason it is directly in the middle of the kitchen and the meal prep area. So food is constantly being take from the kitchen past the bathroom to the to-go...

Good Afternoon , it's lunchtime and what nice places to choose from. Today I chose " Tortilleria Crystal" ! This small eatery is so busy making delicious fresh corn tortillas and flour tortillas and fresh Mexican plates enough to satisfy your appetite. They also have a varied menu of various tasty and delicious plates and a variety of drinks to choose from. As you enter this little restaurant your greeted with a smile and a plethora of great items to choose from. Just being inside smelling all the great food makes your mouth water and your taste buds dance. We had ordered a " Comida Corrida " it arrived with a great tasting Caldo de Res and some Spanish rice with a couple of tortillas to start your meal. Our drinks we chose were two ice cold Sprites. Then our meal came which was full of flavor and great smells. We had ordered a Chicken Mole and refried beans and rice and a couple of tortillas to scoop up that great tasting mole sauce .They were delicious and filling . I give this little restaurant five stars for fast and friendly service and five stars for great tasting Mexican food and five stars for the well kept and clean and organized seating. Five stars for how wonderful they treated us. I am very happy and will definitely be visiting again...
