El Paso Restaurant Guide

Hi my name is JOSE CIMENTAL i love chicos tacos i grew up whith them. born in JUAREZ and mostly raise in EL PASO TX. the chicos tacos is the best restaurant in EL PASO TX. The food is great the hotdogs and the fries the grill cheese and the specialty of the house the chicos tacos plus i work ther for 6 months until i broke my ankle but kept comming to my favorite restaurant. HOW BOUT THE COWBOYS

I love chicos!!!! I know its not the cleanest place around but like other people have said, that place is always packed! its hard to keep up with it! if the food itself was unhealthy they would of already closed it down! any ways i can honestly say that chicos is an el paso establishment! el paso+chicos=meant to be! lol Their tacos with that melted yellow cheese and that red tomato sauce with green Chile salsa!!mmmmm!!! oh and dipping the fries in the sauce afterwards that makes my mouth melt! Yummy!!! its awesome! there is no place like chicos!! oh and every time i go there they are always really friendly and they take my order and say "mande mija?'that makes me feel at home! and definitely family oriented!

I'm from El Paso and I moved to California but I so miss Chico's Tacos. The food is excellent and I would like to franchise here so people can know what some El Paso food is like.

ChicosTacosToGo.com was a great reminder of what I was missing. It was those great cheesy lil rolled tacos that would go two at a time in my mouth. What can I say that hasn't already been said by many. Chico's Tacos is great food and a true El Paso experience. VIVA LA CHICO'S!!!

If you don't mind your tacos with a side order of discrimination then this is the place for you.
Two gay were recently forcibly removed from this restaurant, with the reasoning being that the restaurant didn't "allow that gay stuff" there.

I live in Austin,but go home to visit at least twice a year.The first visit is Chico's Tacos,last visit is Chico's Tacos we take an ice cooler and bring home at least 20 orders,you just have to fix them yourself,but they are still great.My favorite on is on George Deiter.Someone tried opening a taco place like Chico's called Chuco's in Austin not even close to it,the only thing that was at all the same was the dish they served the tacos in.I think Chico's sued them so they closed.Chico's please consider coming to Austin close to 6th street you would make a killing here,not like you don't now but it sure would be great.Cant wait to go back home Chico's

I miss Chico's. I'm stationed in San Diego but I was born and raised in Chuco. My folks live in Dallas now, so when I drive to Dallas I make it a point to stop in Chuco to eat some Chico's. I remember coming home from partying in Juarez and going to Chico's. Double order of tacos, jumbo cheese burger, fries with cheese and a large coke. When I finish my tacos, I drink the soup from the bowl. I don't care who's watching me.I even bought a Chico's Tacos T-shirt. My wife laughs at me but I don't care because I'm brown and proud and proud to be from El Paso. When I go to sporting events, people chant for their team. I chant for Chico's Tacos. Chicoos Tacoos

WITH ALL THE HYPE,I THOUGHT MY EXPIERIENCE WAS GONNA BE AN EXPLOSION OF FLAVOR ON MY PALLET.
BUT TURNED TO BE JUST ANOTHER MEXICAN RESTAURAUNT ON THE CORNER.THE MOTTIFF WAS A LITTLE MORE DEMANDING THAN THE FOOD.WITH THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS A THREE OUT OF FIVE JUST BECAUSE I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD.

I am originally from El Paso now living in Arizona. I go back to EPT about three times a year, my kids were born in Mesa, AZ. I take them back to the city that knows about real mexican food and one of those places is CHICOS TACOS. Miss the food and people.

I LOVE CHICOS TACOS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE ITS OPEN UP LATE NIGHTS AND EVERYONE IS TRYING TO GET THE BURGERS, SO WE HIT THE TACOS. THE BEST THING EL PASO HAS IN FOOD. THATS A GOOD MEXICAN FAST FOOD PLACE.

I to am from El Paso, Texas. Now living in Austin,Tx. I try to go home at least twice a year, and of course my first stop is Chicos Tacos. This simple, but yet complex dish is one dish you will literally have withdrawals from once you leave El Paso. So when you get back to your current residing city, you find yourself trying to duplicate the recipe-never to be successful. It's easier to have a family member ship some overnight. Yummy.

I LOVE CHICO'S TACOS!!!!!!!! IT'S ABSLUTELY THE BEST COMBINATION OF FOOD EVER. I MOVED TO AZ YR AGO AND EVERYTIME I GO TO EL PASO, I EAT CHICO'S ATLEAST ONCE A DAY... AND BRING IT BACK HOME... I WOULD LOVE FOR CHICOS TO BE ALL OVER THE U.S. EL PASO WOULDN'T BE WHAT IT IS WITHOUT CHICOS. THAT'S THE PLACE TO BE FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH , OR DINNER.... IT'S ALL ABOUT EPT 915 PEOPLE!!!

Originally from Anthony,I now live in So.Cal.and go back home about twice a year and first place I go is Chicos Tacos.I have been looking into getting someone to send me some,overnight delivery.Nothing compares to Chicos here in Cal.

Chicos Tacos is what visiting El Paso Texas is all about. No matter how often I go back home to El Paso, I always make the time to go to Chicos. There is no other taco stand anywhere that can compare. From the killer size hot dogs to the double order of tacos, nothing beats Chicos.

I grew up in El Paso and lived there for 18 years before I had to move to Denver, CO. I grew up eating Chico's Taco almost every week. I go home every month and Chico's is always the first and last thing I eat.

Both my parents are native el pasoens and we just moved back into town several years back.I eat Chicos all the time and have never eaten anything like it. There are NO replacements for Chicos.

As a native to El Paso, born and raised, I miss Chicos and crave those little bowls of flautas with the red sauce and melting cheese. MMMM.. so good. I've tried making my own here in Orange County, CA and it's just not the same. Those old 60's style speakers on the wall that somehow still work and the hordes of people waiting for a table. I miss it... viva Chicos Tacos baby!

I grew up in El Paso and my favorite thing to eat has always been Chico's Tacos, even now when I visit I have to eat them they are a must have in El Paso.

!!!!!DAMMM!!! HOW THOSE MEMORIES BRING BACK THE MELTING CHEESE AND THE SO GOOD SMELLING SAUCE, OVER SOME TACOS!!!!! CHICOS TACOS SAUCE IS THE MAIN THING WITH SO MANY SECRET INGREDIENTS THAT MAKES THE TACOS TASTE GOOD!!!!! THAT UNIQUE FROM ALL THE OTHER RESTURANTS!!!!EPT 915!!!

I am from el paso and i haven't been to chicos in years but i wish there was one near where i live. i love the food. i miss it so much.

I too grew up with Chico's Tacos and do love the tacos, however I only eat there once or twice a year now, when I get that craving, which is usually around football season. The reason for that is because I would have to agree with others that the place is dirty, service is bad, and have had cold tacos the last few visits. Their business practices are bad too. Such as signs that say NO credit cards, NO refills, NO everything. NO is such a discouraging word, but we El Pasoan's keep going back. I will only go when I get that huge craving and take it to go so I can eat it hot(reheated) and in my clean home or office. As far as their kitchen being as dirty as their eating area, I don't even want to think about it. I trust our health inspectors are doing their job. Oh, I do congratulate Chico's on their new location on Montwood. It is much cleaner, unfortunately service is the same. Please don't open another one in the Westside or Upper Valley, I don't want it to be easier for me to satisfy my craving and settle for bad service.

My husband is from El Paso and I was introduced to Chico's about 13 years ago. My sister in law and us take turns making the "Chico's Taco's" run quite a few times in a year. The whole family goes crazy for Chico's!!! We love you guys!

Maria a native of El Paso, now lives in Tucson, AZ, and sure does miss those doubles. Wish you had a restaurant here...Great Job!!

Ever since I joined the NAVY 19+ years ago my taste buds start swelling and watering from the impending burn of the delicious green sauce on my double order waiting for me at the Chico's as I arrive home on leave. And trust me I have been to S. Antonio (river walk/mercado), L.A (Olvera/E.Los)-Pretty Much all over the world....! And honestly nothing can top my ghetto Dyer street soaking,"QUESUDOS" tacos. "They are in a league of their own...!", as my California girlfriend says.

Great Food for the price!!!!!I wish I could open a franchise dwn here in SA!!!For now I just make my own at home (liquify some rotel,role some ground beef in tortillas,fry)ok not the same but are good ...I wish I could buy the same cheap hotdags they use.I Miss EP Also!!!!!!!

Having come from El Paso, and now living in Colorado, whenever we go back we bring Chicos home with us. This past weekend my children went to visit with they're aunt and uncle and family, they brought me back loads of Chico's. Last night I thought I had gone to heaven as I made me up two orders with X Cheese!! Chico's needs to come to Colorado!!!

I can't wait until the 5/27/06 I swear I'm gonna have a double, jumbo cheese burger, beef stew burro, fries and a large Dr. Pepper, in one sitting because I miss it soo much, I'm pigging out! I MISS CHICO'S and being a bartender when you leave the club late at night Denny's and Filibertos don't cut it like CHICOS EPT!!!!

If I could choose any place to eat in the world I would like to eat, It would be Chico's. It is addictive! When I get to El Paso it is the first place I go to eat. It is a shame that you do not expand so the rest of the country could get a taste of El Paso!

CHICOS TACOS IS AWESOME!!!!! I HAVE LIVED IN CINCINNATI OHIO FOR 7 YEARS AND IN MISS CHICOS LIKE CRAZY. WHENEVER I GO TO VISIT OR SOMEBODY IN MY FAMILY GOES BACK TO VISIT I ALWAYS HAVE THEM BRING ME BACK SOME CHICOS TACOS. PEOPLE IN OHIO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE MISSING. PLEASE CHICOS TACOS EXPAND YOUR FANTSTICO FOOD (BUSINESS)... THERE IS SOOOOO MANY PEOPLE IN OHIO WAITING FOR YOU AND WHAT A TASTE OF REAL MEXICAN FOOD TASTE LIKE.

We think that the food is great!!!! but you dont clean your tables. Last night my bestfreind and I were with two guy friends and one of them put there hands on the table and a lot of junk came off on his hand. Also your bathrooms arnt as good as your food. thats all we have to say... tannk you.

GREAT AWESOME FOOD EAT IT

I used to live in El Paso and moved a little over a year ago and when I think of home I think CHICO'S. I miss it soooo much! When I go visit that's the first place I'm going, just thinking of it makes my mouth water. Nothing better than a single with extra cheese and hot fries.Mmm Mmm!

My girlfriend and I are both from El Paso and when we visit it is a must to bring chicos back. Living in Colorado is nice, but there is no good mexican food! Chicos We love you! Why haven't you made more locations in other cities?
I have 25 singles in the freezer right now. I miss Chuco alot. Where else can a drunk find preems at 2 am? When you leave Chuco, you miss Chicos!

I love this place!!! an el paso tradition!!!

MMMMMMMMMM chicos when ur drunk and chicos when ur crudo (hung-over) : )..yummmmm

Grew up in El Paso and Chicos is one of my fondest
food memories. We live in Virginia now and whenever we go back, we get several dozen frozen, with cheese and sauce and take them to our relatives who let us stay with them on the way back. Haven't been back in years, and miss those tacos soooooo much. Oh man, now i am so hungry....

this place is awesome, opened late at night or nice and early(early is around 11-12 for us late wakers, i think it opens earlier though), even though prices have being going up slighty, its still pretty cheap. I just love the way the tomatoe sauce melts the cheese then you can just simply cover it with the perfect green chili sauce(which is a must in the hamburger or hotdog too), now the fries, i prefer to just mix em up with the tomatoe sauce the cheese and the chili. Heres the perfect meal, double with extra cheese, order of fries, jumbo cheese burger or hotdog(either one is good)and a large Dr Pepper!mmmmm. its a good thing its only in el paso, we can keep it all to ourselfs!

I live here in wonderful El Paso, home to the best restraunt in town, Chicos Tacos! Their food is DELICIOUS!!!! One day I hope we can have 1 Chicos Tacos in every major city. If the people want more make them come over here so they can have a real flavor of spiciness,since a lot of people try to immitate Mexican food and they never cook it right. Only Chicos Tacos (in El Paso) cooks food RIGHT!

this place is the BOMB!!!!!

We're from the Washington D.C. area but El Paso is our hometown. Every trip back to El Paso we make Chico's our first stop to eat. Sure would like to see Chico's expand also. Pleasssssse expand to the Virginia/D.C./Maryland area.

Chico's Tacos should franchise all over the United States. A double order of tacos with double cheese is one of the best meals I have ever eaten. I have often had friends and family in El Paso, send us several orders via Federal Express in a cooler, just so we could enjoy them in Ohio. Please Chico's, expand outside of El Paso!!

I was born and raised in EL CHUCO, and now live in "FORITOS" (FORT WORTH, TX). Every chance my family and I get to go back to EL CHUCO, our first stop is to CHICOS! When we leave EL CHUCO, our last stop is CHICOS! We need one over here in Fort Worth!

AGHHH, MOUTH WATERING CHICOS TACOS. CHICOS TACOS IS A MUST HAVE WHEN I GO BACK HOME. ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY KNOW THAT IF IM IN TOWN WE ARE DEFINATELY EATING AT CHICOS TACOS. I MISS CHICOS TACOS, I WISH IT WAS A DRIVE AWAY, I CAN WAIT TO GO BACK TO EL PASO AND EAT ME SOME CHICOS.

Originally from El Paso, stationed in Oklahoma...I love a double with extra cheese, large fry, and large coke!!! Where else can you eat for $5 and be full afterward?

I love Chicos Tacos :) I am from El Paso and everytime I go back my first stop is "Chicos"

I love Chicos Tacos :) I am from El Paso and everytime I go back my first stop is "Chicos"

400 miles away in PHX and all we can thynk of is Chico's. Just went down for 4th of July and we miss them already. Chico's has stayed tur to EPT and has kept it family owned and EPT owned. We are sad that there is no Chico's here but we get to see family and eat at Chico's when we go down there. Its a WIN-WIN situation.

1st stop Chicos Tacos, everyday Chicos if possible. Not visiting a relative, can live with it, missing CHICOS - UNTHINKABLE. Forgetting stuff when leaving EL Paso, always. Forgetting to order as many orders as we can carry, freeze them up to take back, never!

it's funny how some say aboput how dirty it is and how the food is scooped up from the floor and roaches and all that, when they get inspected by the health department once even twice a month. always get unexpected visits. and if you look closely it's not dirty, it's the old walls, old flooring, old tables, if all the roach stuff and food off the floor was true, chicos would not be open right now. and would have been closed years ago. the new one on montana is excelent for newcomers who worry about it being clean. the tables are scratched up but it looks clean. i always order a double extra cheese, fries, round dog or jumbo cheese burger and large Dr. Pepper. mmm mmm thats a meal right there.

everytime i visit El Paso, i go to Chico's Taco's. I am a chef living in las vegas, nv i work in America (new york, new york hotel and casino) i want to bring this to the menu. we do food from all over the U.S. and there is a postcard from el paso in there restaurant: why not bring this awesome delight to these vegas people.

There is nothing like Chicos Tacos. We are from El Paso and now live in Boerne, Texas. First thing we do when going home is go to Chicos. Sure wish they would open one in this part of Texas. I know it would do well because there are alot of people from El Paso in this area.

I am originally from El Paso Texas and everytime we go back home, our first stop is Chico's Tacos. No Doubt. The best tacos in town for the price.. I love it and miss it everyday. Carla=)

Everytime I go to El Paso, Chicos is my first stop! I know it sounds crazy, but I really appreciate a double order with extra cheese--not to mention that hotter than hell green Jalapeno sauce! Hijole!!

I go every time I am in El Paso. Single, Rounddog, lg. fry, Large DP. Good Stuff!

Chico's used to be a great place to eat. I moved to El Paso about 20 years ago, the first time I went to Chico's I thought it was great !!. It has really lost a lot over the years. we used to go 2 or 3 times a week. Now we may visit 2 or 3 times a year. The prices have gone up significantly. It is true no one makes tacos like Chico's but I think the rolled tacos at the "Frisco Burger Inn are much better.

When I first visited El Paso with my husband from Tucson, Arizona I was told by everyone that I had to try Chico's. Well I did and at first I was like so its a taco in soup. It wasn't until I got back to Tucson that my mind started playing tricks on me and I started craving those juicy little rolled tacos with sauce and an order of fries to soak up the extra juice. Now at least once a month we say we are coming home to visit family but we have one other thing in mind, CHICO's... Can't leave without eating there at least once!

I was born in el paso and have moved out of el paso about 4 years ago. I have to tell you I never thought I would miss a restaurant. I now live in san antonio. And believe it or not there are alot of el pasoians here...and i am sure i speak for all when i say we would love to see a chicos tacos open up here in san antonio. Chicos tacos would do very very well over in san antonio. Please consider it. THanks

Chico's is awesome!!!! It is an El Paso thing though,I took my husband there once during our visit to El Paso and he didn't see what the big thing was about Chico's. He is from Lubbock, that explains everything. I am now here in Arlington, Tx and whenever I talk to people from El Paso the first thing we say is "If we could have some chico's right now," mmmmmmm Anyhow, that is a piece of El Paso that will always stay with us no matter where we are in this world...

Chico's Rules!!! It's been three years since if had them, but I can still smell and taste them. You are all lucky you can drive to Chico's. Other people from around El Paso that are here with me wish it could be a two hour flight away, so we could go eat every other weekend. Even once a year would be great.

Most people don't know what's in the tacos, but I used to work there, and if you go to the dumpster you'll find the skins of the cats and dogs that were used to fill those tacos. But, who's going to be complaining, not me, I ate them for lunch during my time there. Now I know why they eat cats and dogs in the orient, they are delicious! Just kidding, of course, this Saturday my wife and I ordered our usual, a single, a double, a hot dog cut in half and two sodas. As for the cleanliness, it is kinda dirty at the old places, but in the Eastside it's not too bad, but they could do better. Hear that Health Department, just don't shut down the place, don't fine them cause then the price for a single will double, just give them a little scare!

chicos would not be chicos if it was clean. and how can you expect it to be clean, theres people standing up like vultures waiting to take your table when you leave, the workers have no chance to clean the place up. as for the double order, i preffer two singles, more soup same price!!!!!

Chico's flat out sucks! The ground beef floutas, coverd in tomato sauce and welfare cheese are horrible. the sporks they give u to eat those things are so flimsy that they are useless. I think the Cabaret on Montana ave is cleaner then Chico's. What an overrated rat hole. I don't care if u can get full for under $1, you can also eat out of a dumpster for free, but I wouldn't recomend doing either.

Wow, some harsh words from some bitter El Pasoans regarding Chico's....and then to suggest some other cookie cutter Mexican restaurant in the midst of all this love for Chico's is inexcusable...THAT person can STAY over there by UTEP!!! Chico's Tacos Rules!!!! I was born and raised in El Paso, and now am in Dallas missing those little rolled tacos in the tomato soup...Its almost worth that grueling 11 hour trip just to have it again...I had heard from someone that a relative of the family that owns Chico's, had married and moved to Dallas with her husband, and she was going to open a Chico's here, somewhere around the Lewisville area...Sure hope that was not just BS....

I use to live in el paso, now reside in Tennessee, those smothered with cheese tacos are to DIE for. I wish they would move out here by me! I crave them often and fly home with them in mind!

MMM, MMM I love me some of those delicious tacos. One thing I do miss is the fact that the tomato sauce isn't as thick as it used to be, but it still makes a great dipping sauce for my fries once I am done with my tacos. My standard order when I go home for Thanksgiving every year is: 2 regular orders, extra cheese, one regular hamburger, one order of fries. I repeat this order every day I am there except for Thanksgiving day, if only I could get away with a Chico's Turkey platter that would be great. Until the Thanksgiving holidays my mouth will continue to water for those savory tacos.

Chicos Tacos is the best and it shouldnt be anywhere but here in El Paso. El Paso is Chico's home and Chico's shouldnt go anywhere else. All you celebs out there you have to come to El Paso and try some Chico's. You cant die happy if you havent had Chico's Tacos so come eat at Chicos Tacos! Thanks

I miss it soo much!!! At least I'm 6 hour away from Chuco, and Chico's. Living in AZ for 9 years now, and when I do go back I order the usual, double order, fries, beef stew burrito, jumbo cheese burger, and Medium Dr. Pepper, in one sitting, just in case I never come back again. Not to mention it keeps me satisfied for a year?

Chico's Tacos rules!!! I am in Austin and everytime we go to El Paso to visit family, the first place we go to is Chicos!!! I took my wife there last year and she is hooked, we always order a large order to go and bring it back to Austin! Come to Ausin Chico's!!!!

Chicos tacos is the best, I live in LA now and nothing compares to chicos and of course taco tote but thats another story...I know everyone talks about how dirty the restraunt is, this and that, so for all you clean putos, take your pinchie madre down to the newly built Chicos on Montwood it's not dirrty yet....

I live in Phoenix, AZ and I wish we had a real Chico's Taco's here, I miss the Lady with the big earings and white hair that calls me mijo on Alameda, here in Phoenix we have a Chico's Tacos but it isn't even close to the real one, I sometimes fly home just to eat there.

chicos rocks....come to houston!!!!!
el paso is home but we need you here!!!

I too am a displaced El Pasoan and wish they had chicos here in Houston!!!!

As all the other posts note, I too love them tacos, and that plastic cheese! Have you ever taken some to go, that cheese lasts forever in the fridge and never goes bad!

Many people mention the place is dirty, and I totally agree, however, I don't blame the restaurant; if the place is dirty, who creates the mess? The workers don't eat in the customer area. It's the bad manners of the patrons who make it dirty... I bet they don't make a mess like that at their home... but then again....?

No matter where I go or how long I am away from El paso I can still go back to Chicos on Alameda and the same lady will take my order and call me 'mijo'. Cannot beat that or the tacos. THE BEST!!!!!!!

I'm originally from El Paso, now living in Sacramento,CA ...........and damn we all miss Chico's up here. Nothing like the real thing. We've tried making homemade and can't compare. If your from EPT ---> family comes 1st, then Chico's. My advice to the owners, emphasize customer service & clean it up a bit.

Well it's been over two years since I've been able to go back to El Paso and I need my Chico's FIX. Does anyone know if a "overnight" shipping service in the EL Paso would handle this type of order? If anyone with advise/INFO please email me. [email protected]
Thank you!!! Chico's Tacos customer since 1974...

chicos, chicos, chicos,wow! yup you haven`t xperienced El Paso till you`ve xperienc`d CHICOS.
i think i`ll go to chicos after the Amigo Air Show. everyone seems to forget the " GREEN DEATH" that is topped on the tacos, it is the greatest ever, you can`t find rolled tacos anymore, but you can at CHICOS & the sauce( soup) is the best , tons of cheese , green death & a salt packet,all melted down & slurp up the soup,mmmmm mmmmm good. Thanx CHICOS....CAt~~~

I moved to El Paso from NC a month ago and have ate Chicos tacos about 6 times already! My husband is in the military and we were a little sketchy when one of his soldier friends mentioned we eat at "Chicos Tacos" for lunch one of the first days we got here. I loved it! I think the tacos are great and cheap too. My husband likes the burgers. A huge drink is only a dollar and some change and the french fries were hot and fresh. I've worked at a restaurant and I know its hard to keep the place immaculate and Chicos is always little dirty, but it could always be worse. Over all, I like Chicos Tacos and actually want to go there for dinner tonight. adios!

I currently live in El Paso, and Chicos Tacos are the best I've ever tasted. The taste is irresistable. When I go, the only thing I order is a double. Chicos Tacos are the best.

I live in Denver now, and so wish there was a CHICO's up here! Everytime I go back to El Paso, no matter what Chico's I go to, not only is it clean but GREAT eatting! I'm 31 years old and will never stop going there! Thank You, CHICO'S...LXL

MY NAME IS CHICHO BUT MY REAL NAME IS NOEL. I LOVE EATING AT CHICOS TACOS, SPECIALLY AFTER GETTING A "MASAJE" IN JUAREZ AND GETTING DRUNK. ALL OF YOU OUT THERE KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.
THERE IS A DISTINCTIVE TASTE TO THEM. I LOVE THE EXTRA CHEESE. SO GO TO JUAREZ GET A "MASAJE" GET DRUNK AND GO EAT AT CHICOS AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN. BY THE WAY, I MET MY GIRLFIEND PANCHA THERE...

I was born and raised in Chuco (El Paso). I have frequented all of their restraunts at one time or another. Their cleanliness does need some tending to; but I'm 43 years old and still kickin'!! I moved to Dallas and I miss those D###
tacos!! I make it a point to take my family every time we visit.
Art....

I grew up in El Paso and lived there for 24 years. I moved to Washington, DC in 2000 and have been having Chico's withdraws ever since! I brought my husband there while visiting my parents and he just didn't understand. Yes, it's true, it is not the most fancy or clean place but the food rocks! I spent many a Friday night there after high school football games. It is a must after a night of clubbing. I HIGHLY recommend it...great food, great prices! I miss you Chico's!!

OMG I LOVE CHICOS TACOS SO MUCH!!!!!!!! I Am Only Like 16 And I Used To Live In Texas!!! I Lived In Marfa, Texas To Be Exact!!! And I Remember Every Weekend Other Weekend My Family Would Go To El Paso And The First Place We Would Go Is Chicos Tacos!!!!!!! Omg I Miss It So Much Casue I Live In las Vegas Now But My Mouth Waters When I Think Of It!!!!

Chicos Tacos was a first date place for my daughter's father & myself, it was fun and inexpensive. people should realize a good thing when its here. I now live in Las Vegas and we have no Chicos Tacos here.

I live here in El Paso and love eating at Chicos Tacos and at times it's hard for me to get around it cause my husband doesn't really like to eat there, and the only time I get to go eat there is with the workers from work and even sometimes with a couple of friends. But I'm really going to miss eating here at Chicos Tacos is cause I'm leaving town. VERY SAD!!!!!!

All this money that they make, yet they cant keep the place CLEAN!!!!!! Maybe a visit by a health inspector secretly would raise some sort of awarness.

I agree that this is one of the "cheapest" places in El Paso to eat (3 tacos for a buck?! Makes you wonder what's in them). What really worries me is that almost everyone mentions the lack of cleanliness, but hardly anyone seems to really mind it. WAKE UP PEOPLE! This is what you can see. Now imagine what the kitchen looks like? Just imagine that mystery taco filling being scooped up from the raunchy floor or the roach-infested counter and scooped into those artificial corn tortillas. And then they go straight into your mouth. That's pretty nasty. Not to mention the fact that the main location is between the zoo and a cemetery (no wonder their meat is so inexpensive). Spend another buck or two and try El Rincon de Cortez by UTEP for lunch. They don't have the government cheese nor the watered-down tomato sauce, but their food is excellent, the please is clean, and the staff is freindly, and their huge lunch specials are only 6 bucks.

I SIMPLY LOVE CHICOS-HEC I EVEN WANTED TO HAVE MY WEDDING RECEPTION CATERED BY THE INFAMOUS CHICOS. I GREW UP EATING THE STUFF AND JUST CANT GET ENOUGH OF THEM. I HAVE NEVER ORDERED ANYTHING ELSE ON THE MENU EXCEPT FOR THE TACOS. I NOW LIVE IN AUSTIN AND I HAVE CHICOS WITHDRAWALS. IM GOING TO EL PASO THIS 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND AND MY FIRST STOP.........CHICOS!!!!!!!!

Chico's Tacos has been an institution in El Paso for decades! I haven't lived there since 1983, but I make it a point to stop by any of the Chico's restaurants in E. P. when I'm in town.

I wish we had one here in Austin!

WE NEED ONE IN THE WEST SIDE.

chicos tacos is the bomb. i can't make an arguement for the cleanliness though. i'm here in dallas and if there was a chicos here that charged $3/order, i'de still go. when i drive back home to el paso, thats the first place i go, good thing they're open til 2am.

Good evening!

My name is Isaac Gomez and I'm 12 years old. I visit your resturaunt frequently. I love the food there and the cleansliness isnt bad, but you could work on it! Usually in resturaunts, after a family is finished eating, the tables are already clean. The waiters go to it as quickly as possbile and clean it as quickly as possible. That is my main concern with your store because everything else I adore! I love your food and this resturaunt is definatley family oriented. thank you for a pretty good time!

-Isaac Gomez

I was born in El Paso and possibly because of their always cheap prices my mother took my brother and I to eat there very,very often. I grew up on their special recipe rolled tacos,cheese and sauce in a paper boat. The cleanliness has NEVER been great. Keep in mind that there are approx. 20 employees behind the counter just to keep up with the volume of customers. Every location has been PACKED from as long as I can remember....for a reason. IN 1980 there were poor people begging for change outside as there are today....the ownwer of Chico's never ran them off. I always thought that was cool. Chico's is an institution in El Paso. Upon your visit I reccomend a dbl order of tacos and the infamous chili dog on a hamburger bun. I sometimes wish that Chico's were in my city but I think it makes me want to visit El Paso again that much more. It will always be my first stop upon entering the 915.

I like the qoute "You haven't really been to El Paso, if you haven't been to Chicos'" that fits in and although cleanliness of the restaurant isnt great. it is hard to keep up with the MASS amount of people that go in and out of those places. Then again it gives it that "hole in the wall feel" and that is comfortable. all in all CHICOS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I love Chicos Tacos. I wish they would open a Chicos Tacos at Dallas,Tx

filth, just plain filth, Chicos use to be the best. Now with the cheap ingredients, low down people in service line, no respect for the customers; three day old tacos that you chew like gum. The smell of urine; dirty tables, filthy rest rooms, owner greed, bad referances by ex employees. Poorly managed. Those are not the tacos that I use eat back in the day.

Great food theres a reason there is always a long line to order and its hard to find a table. Yes it could be cleaner but the food is great and has kept its traditional recipe and hasnt tried or had to change to keep up with the competition the way other fast food places do.

If you have not been to Chicos Tacos you have no idea what good food really is and the best thing is that it is affordible too.

This one of the worst places I've been to. Its higiene is the worst in El Paso.

If you haven't been to Chicos then you haven't really been to El Paso
