I finally made a reservation after passing by this place for years. This restaurant offers not only exceptional food but also outstanding customer service. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. Our server, Vince, was attentive without being intrusive, and his recommendations were spot on. The menu features a diverse array of dishes, each crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We tried the arrachera steak and sea bass, and they were absolutely stellar—flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere of the restaurant is inviting and comfortable, making it a perfect spot for both a casual meal and special occasions. If you’re looking for a place where the food and service exceed expectations, don’t pass this one by. I’m already looking forward to my next visit and regret not finding this place sooner.

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?

I am a regular traveler and user of the culinary delights of Taft Diaz/stanton house. Leslie, Desiree, and Alex make my mornings full of smiles and top notch food/service. Having business corn and truffle soup is also amazing with Oscar. Thanks to the team for hosting parties and secret things soon ;)

Took my husband for his birthday. It was our first time there and it was amazing. We started with the roasted cauliflower for an appetizer and it was delicious. The sauce it came with was savory and a perfect combination. We both ordered the bone in filet mignon and it was soft and very tender. One of the best pieces of filet we’ve had! Dessert we had the chocolate mole tart, not sweet a bit savory, delicious! Shawn was our waiter and was personable and provided us with great recommendations. As far as price, yes it’s a bit pricey but worth it!
