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.

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!

We had an excellent experience, food was very well done , great taste. I will definitely ask for the octopus appetizer again. Wine choice was excellent too. Next time I’ll choose to eat at front patio. The only thing I would suggest is offering coffee. I had 2 glasses of Wine, so coffee would have been a nice completion towards end of my meal. Thank you
