Update 12-20-2024 Went to try the Prime Rib today with the new dipping sauce. It was fantastic. My wife had the the Pollo Regio and said it was excellent! I love to be honest in my reviews and I must say, we have been going here for a while now and everything is always better than you can get for miles. The Prime Rib dipping sauce was my only dislike but as of today, that's fixed. I still add a little salt to mine as I love a strong flavor profile.
Update 12-15-2024: Still the best place to eat in Lafayette. The salsa has been fixed and is no longer watery. I was told today they are working on improving the sauce that is served with the Prime Rib. I will post another update on that when they have it updated. It's nice that the owner and manager listen to suggestions. We felt very welcome there today and as aways, it was a pleasure feeling valued as a customer. If you love Mexican or American, it doesn't matter because there is something good on the menu for everyone. Today I had smothered chopped steak with cheese and mushrooms with mashed potatoes and gravy with toast on the side. My wife had a hamburger with onion rings.
Origional Post: Great atmosphere and service. We have eaten here multiple times and each time the food has been great. My only complaint is the Prime Rib plate. Make sure to ask for a different sauce because the sauce they serve with it is a mixture of sage and other spices you might use on chicken but not Prime Rib. A tangier sauce is traditional and expected. The Prime Rib is good without the sauce so that is why there are not many complaints about it. Other than that, my only other complaint would be the chips and salsa. The salsa is very thin and watery, but the flavor is great. I will update this review the next time i try the salsa and Prime Rib to see if they improve for 2025. Always room to improve. I do recommend this place because they have a wide variety of dishes and they are all better than you would get anywhere in Lafayette, Westmoreland or...
Read moreIf I could give this restaurant review no stars I would. Me, my fiancé, and his parents stopped here on our way back home from visiting TN. The three of them had steaks with rice and fries, and I ordered Enchiladas El Paso. The rice was bland, the steaks weren’t very flavorful, but the ground beef in the enchiladas was very watery, gross and uneatable. I took one bite and sent it back and decided not to order something in place of it. When the bill came the uneaten food was still being charged for, we brought it to the I believe owners attention and he was not helpful at all. He continuously kept asking what was wrong with the food after I had already told him the story, and tried to say that my experience with the food couldn’t be true because he sells lots of ground beef daily with no complaints. The amount of ground beef you sell has nothing to do with what was on my plate, and how disgusting it tasted!! He told me I was disrespectful for saying his food was gross, but that was the honest truth and I had nicely said it multiple times before that. He said he’ll give a “one time discount” because he had to waste the food, and has never gotten any other complaints, and the food wasn’t cooked wrong. This solution was not very professional especially considering I didn’t eat anything on the plate besides one bite, the unnecessary attitude, and all the stares from the group of servers after I returned the food back to the kitchen. There’s no worries about having to discount anything else from us as we will...
Read moreFirst time at El Paso is an absolute must-try! If you're looking for an authentic, flavorful Mexican meal this is the place. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, featuring beautiful traditional decor and lively music. Our server Fidel was incredibly friendly and attentive, offering excellent menu suggestions and ensuring our drinks were always full. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes from, Mexican food, steak, lasagna, salad bar, burgers, and seafood. I tried the Molcajete and horchata and all I can say is easily some of best Mexican food I've had in a long time. The portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable and to top our dinning experience for dessert we had the Tres leches cake and it was our favorite! If you're looking for an authentic and flavorful Mexican meal, friendly and attentive staff, El Paso is place to go. You won't be...
