I came in to dine, because it was after lunch and there is big truck parking next door at Cash Magic. I was seated and eating my meal within 15 minutes. I like that. The people working there are real nice. Plenty of food on the plate. The restaurant was spotless. Very clean. I recommend this place if you're looking for a quick bite, or a nice dinner.

We came in on one of the busiest days of the year, Cinco de Mayo! It was a great experience. Our food was fresh and very hot . our service was top-notch , and they never faulted once with our order. We got everything we ordered! The fajitas were delicious. The atmosphere was phenomenal! Would go back again. #CincoDeMayo #Restaurant #Food #Fajitas #GoodTimes #MexicanFood

I love this El Paso in Raceland location. Best food, service and atmosphere. Been coming to this location since 2017 and they always receive you in a nicely manner, it's a wonderful experience since you walk in, until you leave. Hosts quickly assist you, waiters, manager and other personnel are always nice and very helpful. The food is just great. I could say is one of the best El Paso's restaurants I been to(and believe me,I been to most of them in South Louisiana LOL) this one has that authentic Mexican flavor, and the drinks are also super good, especially the Micheladas. They play Mexican/hispanic music most of the time, which I love because it makes a great atmosphere as you enjoy your mexican food. Keep up the great work guys

Came here with a large group. Service was a little slow, but in her defense she was in her first week on the job. The food on the other hand was delicious. I had the carnitas, highly recommend. Not sure if I'll ever be back through here, but if I am I will return.
