Chico’s Tacos: A Beloved El Paso Tradition
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Chico’s Tacos. This spot holds a special place in the hearts of many in El Paso, and it’s easy to see why. Those flautas smothered in cheese, paired with that signature, soupy salsa, create a truly comforting experience that resonates with all of us. It can get a bit messy, but honestly, that adds to the joy of enjoying something so uniquely satisfying.
Chico’s isn’t about flashiness; it’s about offering consistently delicious food that reflects the spirit of El Paso. Whether you’re winding down after a long day or just looking for a late-night snack, this place has that perfect local flavor that feels like home. I wholeheartedly give it five stars for being a cherished, one-of-a-kind part of our community!

Chico’s was recommended to us and it was delish! The lady at the counter helped us so much! Will come again if we are ever in El Paso again.

A classic in El Pasos and must have, IYKYK. The locals will whine about the cheese and the taste. It is what is get you a double, fries, extra cheese, extra salsa verde and a Dr. Pepper. Enjoy it period!!!!!!!!!! Visitors it will be a hit or miss for yall, try to embrace the local taste. They only accept cash, they also have an atm for your convenience. Service has bever been an issue, happy customer all the way. Your food will always come out hot and tasty. Enjoy at your own risk.

This is a childhood favorite so every time I visit El Paso, I make sure to eat Chico’s. The service is typical, order at the counter and pick up when ready. Not as delicious as I remember but still very good. I only ever eat the tacos in their sauce and enjoy it very much

Chicos Tacos on Montwood across from the Roll-in Flautas has a classic feel to it when you walk to order your lunch or dinner which ever it is you’re there for. You can sit and eat as a family or take your date to. The staff and personnel are polite and courteous. It just brings back nostalgic memories of better times.

I would probably give a 3.5 overall, but I want to be slightly supportive, so it’s getting a 4.
Here’s the deal…there are places like this, in nature, everywhere. A local joint that does something unique and because it’s not everywhere else being done that way, it develops a following. Chico’s “tacos” are basically taquitos doused in a watery salsa and covered in grated cheese. It’s ok. It’s not spectacular, it’s not bad. For those of you who live near a Taco Casa or a Taco Delite, you understand. Are they the greatest? No. Do you find yourself inexplicably craving it from time to time? Yes. You’re either going to like it or hate it. It is possible to be fine with it. But chances are if you don’t hate it, you’ll be back.
Get it with the fries and when you eat your tacos, bury the fries in the salsa and cheese and enjoy.
Service was fine. For people passing through, El Paso seems to have a culture of doing your job but not being effervescent or affluential about it.
Because people don’t read signs, ever, including myself apparently, they will only slightly roll their eyes when you pull out your credit card in their cash only environment. They will then point you to the ATM 10 feet away ($3.50 service fee).
This was a must do on our trip to El Paso and I’m glad we did. It was fun and got crowded during lunch.
For the record, the 3 piece and fries was plenty of food, in case you’re uncertain of your initial order. If you’re starving, 6 piece is the go.

It’s good, but not as good as it used to be. Taste is slightly different than what it used to be, but still good. I know that products and distributors change their products, so the flavor changes because of it. We just adapt to the change, but I do miss the old flavor, it was waaaay better.

I can’t believe how expensive it’s gotten here.
Portions are getting smaller. I ordered a JUMBO burger, for a minuteI thought I was at the ol’ Hamburger Stand!
Bring back the Chicos I remember growing up!!!

Took my kids here after a trip to Hueco Tanks. Just watch the price of each item.
The cashier tried to overcharge me and I caught on.
I asked for a receipt and she gave me a register paper that had line item cost but no total and no tax added to it.
I added up my items and there was a $4 USD difference.
I went back and asked about the difference and the lady acted shocked and didn’t remember what she charged me because there wasn’t a proper receipt.
She did give me a refund but it was a guess at the amount.
Probably a mistake but I think she tried to slip an extra side of fries in the bill hoping I wouldn’t notice.
Pay attention because they move fast.

The first shift up until 4pm is great. Everything is fresh & tastes delicious but after 4pm, the taste changes a bit.
Now the prices are getting out of hand. $4.44 for a single (same size – no changes – nothing different) is a bit much for the type of restaurant.
