Chih’ua Tacos Y Cortes

I came in on a Sunday around 12:30 not knowing what to expect. I did not know this place had a buffet and was confused as to how it all worked meaning if I could still order from a menu or if it was an all buffet restaurant. I decided to get the buffet thinking it would be a lunch buffet. I noticed it was a breakfast buffet and quickly began to regret my decision partly because I’ve never had any good breakfast buffet experiences anywhere. I bravely served myself a plate of small samples and boy was I impressed. Everything tasted delicious! How have I never been here before?! The green chilaquiles were my favorite. The atmosphere was very lively. Music was very loud however my family seemed to be having a party of its own so it was fine. I could see how someone would be annoyed if they weren’t feeling the loud music. Our server was very helpful in answering our questions and was very attentive. I recommend everyone try this amazing breakfast buffet! You won’t regret it!

This place was amazing. Waiter was consistent in checking up with us. The food was fantastic. The service and drinks were top notch viva Mexico!

My husband is Turkish and he loves Turkish döner. When we visit El Paso we always come to this restaurant for the tacos al pastor which are excellent and the closest you can come to döner on this side of the planet. Simple, tasty and light. The place is always clean, service is always good. We have never been disappointed with the tacos al pastor. They come fresh off the spit and the meat is not reheated. Meat is tender and juicy. The cilantro, onion and pineapple topping makes it that much better

The BEST MEXICAN FOOD! Try the breakfast buffet and the arrachera! Oh and Wednesdays and Thursdays are Taco Buffet! It is wonderful and I am Mexican!

Nice place for the price. I am passing through town and this place was next to my hotel. I was able to watch the ALCS (Blue Jays vs Royals) while enjoying my meal. I had mole enchiladas and they were great. The rice was white rice, not Mexican rice which I would have preferred. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it but was great for a reasonable price meal close by.

The BEST tortas. The BEST tacos al pastor. The beans are terrific. Prices can’t be beat. Order off the menu — you will get just as stuffed as if you ate at the buffet. Service may be a little slow sometimes but the servers are very polite.

On a recommendation, I tried this restaurant. Despite the mediocre reviews by others on Unilocal.I ordered the ya vaz to go. I love the beans, tortillas, chipotle sauce, tortillas. In fact the beans were probably the best I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend this place. I saw the notes about the service but the service the day I went and was excellent. Very attentive and the staff looked happy.

4^th time stopping since 2008. Great tasting Mexican BBQ! It seamed as if it had been renovated and service was good and so was the food. Would come back again when driving east or west on I-​10.

Love this place! I come there all the time with my brother. Tacos are great but no one can beat their breakfast buffet on the weekends!

Greatest Mexican Authentic food I have had in Texas. I drive all over the country and I have had the best only in California, but this place just have competition. If ever in El Paso this is a must for Mex food and very Clean and nice staff

Few times me and family come and enjoy this place Butttttt I guess today was not one of them the service is good but once I got my order the chihuas special Looked delicious took bites was tasting good until I hit bone fragments not only once gave another try and again hit another one returned it back to waiter and never brought another replacement plate or offered to bring a new one. sorry but im not usually like this but I did not pay for my plate.

Great food, and also the server was simply outstanding! I had some great huevos rancheros, horchata, and some fruit for dessert! Includes salad and fruit bar!

Food was a little expensive and portions were small. Did not like the sauces. Did not like the salad bar. They charge for refills. They put little meat in their tacos.

The food is awesome BUT the waiters never refilled our drinks and she couldn’t be found. So we asked another lady for more salsa and she never brought it. The other waitress we asked for salsa never came back. She was sitting down eating

I have been here several times with different groups of people of different cultural backgrounds including Mexican. We find the food, service and atmosphere always consistent. While I believe Mexican food is generally a difficult cuisine to rate because there are so many varieties (Mexico is a huge country), I have always been impressed by the selection here. The salad bar is a nice compliment, the salsas too many to choose from, and they have a good selection of beer.
Occasionally they have guest musicians (who evidently play for at least partly for tips), that are quite good. There’s also a room for private parties.
We were greeted in Spanish and if you speak a little, the server will continue in Spanish and you can have an entire meal and believe you’re somewhere south of the border. Overall a good experience.

I used to love this place. Even though the service was sub-​par most of the time, the tacos were great, very authentic Mexican tacos. Last time I was there, however, we sat for over 45 mins. after the (very rude) waiter took our order (even though the restaurant was half empty), and even after we told the manager how long we’d been waiting, we still had to wait a while. When we finally got our food, it was cold, not luke warm, cold. We told the manager and the waiter interrupted saying it wasn’t his fault the food had been sitting out for so long, the manager said nothing. We walked out and it is the very first and only time my family or I have done that.
The food is good, not going to lie, but good doesn’t count much when its congealed cold. The service is horrible.
(Another added bonus is the loud and obnoxious music playing while you wait for your food to never arrive.)

I had to lower my review for this place to 3 stars. Usually I just care about food, but the service at my last visit here was just really really slow. This is not fancy stuff, it’s tacos and should come faster. I waited almost an hour for my food, I couldn’t believe it! Plus, my waiter rarely visited my table, only refilled my water once (and I drink like a camel), and never apologized for the bad service. If you need decent service, I can’t recommend this place. If you are more like me and care mostly about the food, then definitely check it out. I will be back– but there will be a long conversation with the manager if I experience the same bad service.

Best shrimp cocktail I have had in a long time!

Will never go back to this place. You could tell the rice have been mixed together with old rice because it had lots of little hard pieces in it. The food was mediocre at best. Our waitress did an excellent job though.

Its ok but not as great as you would expect
