Chico's Tacos: Reviews & Ratings
5/5 stars for crappy Mexican food! Honestly, you know when you walk in that it won't be 5 star food. For cheap, delicious junk food, it's 5 stars! Cash only, so be prepared. Once you order the food comes out hot and fast.
You have to be from El Paso to understand. This is comfort food. If you didn't grow up with it you won't like it. When I come home this is a must stop everytime. #elpasostrong
Oh yea this place is good. The 3 little tacos are like taquitos. Really good runny enchilada sauce on them with cheese on top served with crispy French fries. This place has been there forever and there's a good reason why. It was pretty busy too for a Tuesday afternoon. I will have to come back here again.,
Been decades since I've been here! Visiting for a few days and had to stop here. Quick ordering service, place is clean and I always loved the fries here. The tacos don't taste the same from what I recall but still good and salsa was very good. I've satisfied my craving for chicos tacos!
Since I happened to be passing through El Paso, I thought I'd check out this iconic place that's been the latest rage on social media. I ordered the regular order of "tacos" which are actually rolled tacos or taquitos as one would normally call them. They come in a mild tomato sauce and packed with shredded cheese. I LOVE rolled tacos!! This combination was awesome. However, you do have to eat them fast if you don't want soggy taquitos. I contemplated ordering them separately from the sauce but really wanted to try it the OG way. I also ordered a side of crinkle cut French fries which were pretty good. One order my table got was cold, and soggy, but the other one hot and crispy. Someone in my group ordered a cheeseburger and raved how good it was! This place is cash only and they have an atm for your convenience if you forget. Oh, I almost forgot the best part........ They give you a spicy green sauce in soufflé cups when you get your food. You're gonna want to get extra of that sauce! I poured it all over my food and it made a huge difference! Soooo good!
There's a reason why I only come here after 2 am... People either love or hate Chico's Tacos. I'm slightly ashamed of my mad crush. Is this the best food in town? Nope. Does it hit the spot after a night on the town? Yep. If you don't like your $3 flautas drowned in spicy tomato soup and gov't chz, get a burger. They're also 3 bucks. Always friendly service. It's clean. It's inexpensive. And you can sit in the parking lot and watch the low riders cruise by the "NO CRUISING" signs.
Due to COVID, face masks are required. NO MASK, NO SERVICE. Also, it's CASH ONLY, with no atm inside. Chico's is an El Paso tradition since 1950. Anyone who lives in El Paso knows it/loves it; tourists and out of towners can have mixed reviews. But the staple items to order are the Rolled Tacos and Grilled Cheese! TIP for eating inside: order the taco's sauce on the side, that way the tacos aren't soggy by the time you receive your food and sit down.
