El Paso Mexican RestaurantGreat Mexican FoodWe had a double birthday brunch at El Paso and we loved it. The service was excellent and friendly. The food was great. I loved the chilaquiles with fish and their flan is the very best!5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMEast Harlem is where it's at!!We had several great experiences at El Paso. Newish to East Harlem, we keep finding all kinds of wonderful places to eat and discover. The wonderful Poet's Den Theater is nearby and we have a bite before or after. El Paso Restaurant is one of the few places I've been in NYC where you are greeted with smiles, the water glasses are refilled constantly, the waitstaff is present during the entire meal. Service in NYC's moderate priced restaurants has gone down the tubes, but you can be assured El Paso is on top of it. Authentic South of the border food with a splash of creativity makes it a place we will visit again and again!!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWill be back again & again!Was looking for a fun authentic Mexican restaurant to celebrate Cinco De Mayo with my boyfriend, and decided on El Paso based on the open table reviews. So glad we came! The atmosphere was fun and festive. The restaurant is bigger than it appears and although it was extremely crowded because of the holiday, we were seated promptly at 7:45 (which was our reservation time). Our server was extremely pleasant and kept the drinks coming. The menu looked amazing so we ordered 4 different appetizers to try a little of everything-- and they were all delicious!! especially the suckling pig..YUM! Dinner was the chicken mole & red snapper--both were fantastic! And before we left we were given free shots of tequila to toast the holiday! Loved it!5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMHidden Uptown GemMy experience at El Paso was more then stellar. My bestfriend and I were in desperate need of good food after moving into our new apartment all day and El Paso, was what the doctor prescribed. The cocktails are delicious, tacos were authentic, and the service couldn't have been better. If you live uptown stop missing out and go to El Paso.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMValue gem in NYC!We got lucky with this one - the service was outstanding, the food was very good and the bill reminded us that there are still value gems in NYC!3/10/2013 12:00:00 AM
