Went for breakfast, and service size plates are big! The server was attentive and shared some Avena" (oatmeal) that was delicious. (Came with meal). They played music, but it was a bit too loud for my likings.. ( 9 am in the morning) blasting cumbi music. I also got chips and salsa, which was good spicy salsa!

Delicious food. The portions are well served. The best shrimp cocktail in town, fully loaded with shrimp. The staff has always been very friendly and courteous.

Always delicious food, great service, and good lunch specials. Maria is a very friendly and attentive server, but they're all very good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're in El Paso and craving authentic, flavorful Mexican cuisine, you have to try El Texano’s tortilla soup. It's the best I’ve had in the city! The broth is rich and packed with flavor, ample cilantro and fresh avocado. The portion size is generous, leaving you full but still wanting more. Served with crispy tortilla strips and a side of fluffy Mexican rice, this soup is a standout. If you're in the area, don’t miss the chance to enjoy this unforgettable dish at El Texano! 15/10 Would recommend.
