Parking on North Mesa

We're in downtown El Paso, two blocks from San Jacinto Plaza, and we have our own parking lot. Coming off I-10, you can skip the downtown traffic.

Both my boss and I ordered caldo de res, and wow, this place did not disappoint! The caldo looked fresh, and all the vegetables were perfectly cooked—not soggy like the old caldo de res you often find. The service was fast and very attentive. The salsa that came with the chips was also really good! The corn tortillas were thick and delicious! Everything had that homemade quality to it. I really hope they do well, and I'll definitely stop by again whenever I'm in the area.

This is THEE spot for amazing Mexican food with your grandma’s sazón. If you love caldos, this is the best in the city! Makes me feel like I’m at Juarez. Get the Albóndigas Soup, it’s delicious. Amazing service as well, very kind and welcoming staff.

This was my first visit. The arachera steak was tender and very tasty even though I asked for medium well. The portion of steak was generous and the service was very good. I am curious about their weekend buffet. I will follow up with that review next time.

Kind staff and homemade flavorful meals. Red rice is yummy yummy. Caldo de res tastes authentic. It tastes like the cook is one of my old aunts. Very convenient that they have a parking spot, you can just get out in one of the exits from 1-10 and then keep going, skipping downtown traffic, but with a downtown sort of experience, cause it is 2 blocks away from San Jacinto Plaza If you are a traveler passing by El Paso, this is a good spot to stop and go.
