Reddit let us know about this place as I was passing through El Paso on a cross country road trip and it did not disappoint! Best Mexican rice I’ve ever had in my life. Incredible flavors and such a historic spot with great vibes and friendly service. I got shrimp fajitas and I’m lactose intolerant/dairy free and they were easily able to accommodate, lots of vegan and vegetarian options too. My partner got steak enchiladas and loved it. Giant portions! So satisfying, 10/10 no notes.
