El Paso Taqueria — Restaurant in New York

I found this place on google map. My father was in the hospital in mount Sinai around the area . While waiting for the procedure . I decide to take a walk around . I went in , they said hi to me and offer me to seat. They gave the menu right way to me . Bring me water and gave me time to order . I ordered tostada al pastor and soft chicken taco . And that’s it. After 5 minutes the anxious waiter told me happy hour is almost finish . I said I was ok . But I change my mind after a minute and as for margarita pasión fruit with a lot salt . 😋. I have to say presentation is good , but the food is overprice and tasteless . If you want to give some flavor I ask for Tabasco sauce . The margarita needs to improve .,its weak . Good that I got it in happy hour . Lol . the place was clean 🧼, and comfortable and the music 🎶 was high . Regueton . Lol . It’s a place to have fun , laugh 😂 and have a chit chat . Some drinks 🍹 🍷 🍸 happy hour of course . And that’s it . Don’t go to high expectation about the food , because you are not going to find it . And not all the waiters are the same . Don’t chose the anxious one . raul . Other wise you are going to leave faster than expected . Lol . I give 3 star because it’s an average place . Thanks for reading . I hope this review...

My first experience here was pretty terrible. I went with a friend and we ordered a margarita, a sangria, tacos, and enchiladas. After we put in our order, we received our drinks promptly. Then, waited for an hour and a half before a server came to clean the table next to us. We asked for an approximation of when our food would come out and he said he would ask our server, who was in the kitchen the entire time. The server came out 20 min later and told us he forgot to put our food order in and asked for it again. We were one of three groups dining at the restaurant at this time, so it was not due to overcrowding. When we got our food, it was average at best.

I figured this was a one time issue because people have bad days, and proceeded to go again with a group of friends. We went to the happy hour on a Monday afternoon. Little did we know that if you put in a drink order 15 min before happy hour ends, the servers will wait to put the order in after 6pm so you are charged full price. When we brought the discrepancy up, two servers began to argue in front of our table for 10min. They took the check to pretend they were going to fix the issue and brought the same check back.

Needless to say, you can find better food, service, prices, and ambiance just a few streets over in...

I used to love this place. They had three locations I used to frequent, but then I moved. I came back to the city, excited to come back to the location. The wait staff was very nice and accommodating. They have tables outdoors and indoors, so the waitstaff is busy going back and forth. Food was good. Though there was no pico de Galo, very little jalapeño and a small amount of guacamole, no sour cream, and pre shredded cojita cheese (that’s odd for a ‘authentic’ Mexican spot), I enjoyed the nachos. The tacos were also nice. The drinks? My husband and I both got drinks- he got a piba colada and I got a passion fruit frozen margarita My guy they tasted like water was the primary flavor. It was trash. I’ve never had such a flavorless margarita in my life. My husband couldn’t even really drink his piña colada. So if you want good food, come here. If you want alcohol, stick with the beer. I guess COVID affected this spot hard cause it’s just not the same. Maybe I went on an off night. If I ever go back...
