Would give it a 1 star based on service but will be judging it solely on the food we ate.
We are on a road trip from Houston TX do Denver. We’re on the way back and had been craving Mexican food since we left Houston 7 days ago.
We stopped here based on the reviews and where hopefully that we were going to get some great food.
Unfortunately, the Mexican food here is average at best and it’s a little sad that the locals think this is excellent Mexican food.
It’s not bad food, but it’s not something that I would recommend if you’re wanting to eat good Mexican food.
The waters we ordered didn’t taste fresh as we were told they were and tasted like they were made from powder.
All of our tacos, the tortillas were not warm and were on the colder / room temperature side. They probably do this to avoid the tortillas from breaking when folding them over, however, they still break because they’re cold.
Outside of the food the service was very poor. Maybe the workers were having an off night but we were given an attitude when ordering and getting our food. They weren’t rude or nasty just sort of seemed bothered by being at work.
The only upside from our food was the salsas and the refried beans. The refried beans were so good we decided to order a bean burrito.
The establishment itself is okay it’s definitely not a fancy place but it’s clean and taken care of. It was quiet when we went on a Friday night and it seems like a spot where you could have a conversation over food if that’s what you’re after.
Unfortunately this is not a place I can recommend unless you’re in dire need of food and have nowhere else to eat.

Delicious and quick to order street food. Really like the beef tongue taco and other interesting food options. Note: cash only. The food is good and cheap. Takeouts style.

We went on a Sunday late afternoon for menudo at the recommendation of friends. However, they were out. So since we had driven quite far, decided to order al pastor tacos and colita de pavo tortas. I was really hoping to enjoy this place. Unfortunately, the meat in the tacos were SO dried out. They were not edible. The tortas were a bit better but not by much. My husband is from CD Juarez and he couldn’t finish his meal. So that says something. I wish we would have eaten there. We would have returned the food. Not a good experience for us.

Barbacoa Taco
Tender, slow-cooked beef cheekwith rich, smoky flavor. Juicy and deeply savory – a classic favorite!
Lengua Taco
Made with beef tongue – incredibly soft and buttery when cooked well. Mild taste, melts in your mouth. recommend it!
Steak Taco
Grilled, seasoned beef strips – hearty and flavorful. Often served with onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. A solid choice!
Carnitas Taco
Slow-braised pork, crispy on the outside and tender inside. Sweet, salty, and full of depth – so satisfying!
Horchata
A sweet, creamy rice-cinnamon drink. Refreshing, slightly gritty texture, and perfect for balancing spicy tacos

First of all I had to repeat the order three times and they still got it wrong. I wanted 2- tacos pastor and one gordita pastor mais. They added a torta that I didn’t order and they didn’t correct the order. Tacos were real greasy and tasteless. The gordita pastor was not cooked properly and falling apart. Not a good experience. $20 and greasy fingers. Never again

El Paisa is the best taqueria in Albuquerque and they cater! I ordered 8 pounds of carne asada and 8 pounds of chicken for a party. When I picked up the food, they had everything prepared and ready to go. Ordering that much food from them was inexpensive and well worth the cost. Thank you for everything, El Paisa.

I ordered the Al Pastor tacos with a side of beans and rice! The pastor was very delicious and tasted freshly cooked. Not the best Mexican food I’ve ever had but certainly not the worst. The red and green chile were also delicious but were packaged in a little plastic baggie that was hard to open. Overall a very no-frills you get what you pay for type establishment. Cash only. You need to park at a gas station across the street since the road to the restaurant is blocked off by construction.

PROS: the food is on point, it was hot, fresh, and flavorful. The prices are reasonable. There’s plenty of parking. The service was great. It’s a no-frills Mexican joint and all the people there were Mexican so that’s a good sign.
CONS: cash only, hard to access the parking lot in part due to roadwork, the bathroom was out of order.

One of my favorite places to eat in America! The best horchata i’ve ever had, I always get the 32 oz and it isn’t enough. I could drink a gallon of it. and the tacos are so good! and affordable!

If you want real Mexican tacos, aquas frescas (fruit drinks), tortas (sandwiches) this is the place. It’s a hole in the wall with good food. Prices are reasonable and the sitting area has picnic tables and small tables. You order at the window and wait for your number to be called. They only take cash. Plenty of parking. I recommend the tongue tacos and the pina and horchata drinks. Tacos come with great salsas. Very casual.
