About This Spot

Stepping into El Texano Mexican Restaurant, you’re embraced by a genuine neighborhood warmth that feels both familiar and inviting. This spot hums with the steady rhythm of early conversations and the occasional lively note of cumbia music, creating an atmosphere that’s vibrant without ever feeling rushed. It’s the kind of place where mornings unfold with comforting aromas and hearty laughter, setting a relaxed yet spirited pace that carries you through the day.

El Texano brings together the best of two worlds—robust Mexican flavors and thoughtful breakfast traditions—making it a beloved go-to for locals craving a satisfying start or a midday pause. The generous plates invite sharing and savoring, layering textures and spices in a way that feels both personal and celebratory. Whether it’s the warming embrace of tortilla soup dotted with fresh avocado or the vibrant, fully loaded shrimp cocktails, each bite offers an authentic snapshot of regional tastes crafted with care.

The human moments here are just as essential as the food. Servers move through the dining room with attentiveness and kindness, often going the extra mile to accommodate dietary preferences or to introduce guests to something new on the menu. It’s the sort of attentiveness that turns a simple meal into an experience—one where you feel seen and well looked after amid the hum of plates being set down and the clink of glasses.

Ultimately, El Texano is a place where the joy of Mexican cuisine meets the comfort of shared rituals—a gathering spot that resonates quietly with the rhythms of El Paso life. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to slow down, indulge in thoughtfully crafted flavors, and soak in a warm, lively local vibe.

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.

Excellent service, my server was attentive and showed willingness to accommodate dietary needs, focus on how to make the efforts to make sure different dietary requirements can still be an enjoyable dining experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
