Our meal was stupendous, except for the vegetables, which were very oversalted. Otherwise a very fine experience!! The sea bass was like butter, and the prime rib delicious and lean.

About the restaurant

Crafted out of sheer Westside flair and a nineteen year trajectory, Thyme Restaurant is a concept reimagined by a couple of couples with an affinity for food, wine and our beautiful Upper Westside neighborhood.

As you dine with us, surround yourself with our fine casual atmosphere amongst friends, family, food, wine, music, art and culture and let your conversations evolve. Thank you for helping us preserve this gem in our beloved neighborhood.

We travel substantially and we have learned that Landry’s restaurants are generally inconsistent from place to place, especially when it comes to service. However, the El Paso Landry’s is ALWAYS good, with above average service. Today was no exception! We had the pleasure of having Nicole as our server. She went above and beyond, complimented our attire, shared some personal experiences and was very professional. Nicole is an excellent server and made our dining experience a perfect 10! We are looking forward to our next meal hopefully we will get lucky again and have Nicole take care of us!

From the onset, by being cordially greeted by Oscar and the impeccable service of Scott gave us such a wonderful experience. The ambiance was soothing, again the service was outstanding, the food delicious. Definitely worth my time and money.

About the restaurant

October 16, 1909-For the first time in their country’s history, American President William H. Taft and Mexican President Porfirio Díaz met for a summit in the El Paso-Juarez border; the land commonly known as El Chamizal. Flags were lowered and the borderland remained neutral territory.

A traditional, conservative luncheon was hosted by President Taft at the El Paso Chamber of Commerce followed by an opulent dinner served and presented by President Díaz in the Old Federal Customs building in Juarez. Private discussions were had and agreements were made.

TAFT DÍAZ serves as a testament that great things can flourish when you welcome others at your table.

What will you set in motion during your visit with us?
