Solid Vegan Eats - Edit
Was in El Paso on business and stopped in for lunch. This is a really cool vegan joint inside of a bar. I had the chorizo, potato, cheese taco (delish) and the verde burrito (also delish). Also had the hibiscus tea which was tasty as well.

Delsih option in downtown El Paso (super close to the 10) - Edit
I was in El paso for a night and came by for dinner. I had read earlier reviews and have to say I was pleasantly surprised, and happy I walked over.
Read moreYou may know by now that it's in a bar. When I arrived, about 3pm, there were three tables of guests, all eating. The bar was a bar, and clean and a good place to eat.
The server/cook was awesome. Friendly and helpful.
I ordered two carne asada tacos and one mileanesa taco. All three were packed with flavor and delish. I wish I could have had room for a fourth.
Highly recommend.
Pros: Delish tacos, Friendly service

Okay flavor, terrible environment - Edit
El Paso seriously needs to up their vegan game. Juarez has better options while browsing HappyCow.
Read moreThis place is located inside a bar which I wasn’t aware of. I would have gotten my food to go but we were on a road trip and it was hot outside. So eating inside it was.
I hate bar scenes so this kinda sucked but nothing I could do about it. Tables were all taken so we had to sit at the bar.
I went for the brunch special but when I asked the girl for the brunch menu she had no idea what I was talking about even though it was plastered on their insta. Turns out someone took it and was looking at it at a table.
I ordered the regular picadillo burrito with a side of chips and salsa and an additional side of chips and queso.
The burrito itself was fine. The flavors were very strong just not really a flavor I cared for. Almost no beans inside. The burrito was pretty dry but it came with two sauces. They were both kicking some heat. The green one was my favorite.
The queso had a good flavor but it had green chile overload inside of it. Wound up only being able to eat half the cup because the other half was all hatch chiles.
The waitress forgot the chips and salsa so I reminded her and she said she forgot to add it to the bill. She came out with the receipt showing me she didn’t add it and I didn’t pay for it and on the receipt it showed chips and salsa. I had to point it out to her that it was on the receipt lol She was like “oh oops that’s our fault” lol
When she brought it out I was super disappointed. It was just four small cups of the sauces that the burrito came with. Not salsa at all. I wound up not even eating it. You can’t even fit a chip into the tiny cups and it wasn’t true salsa- just sauces. So that was super disappointing.
I also got my food way after multiple people after me ordered so idk what that was about. I wound up waiting about 5 min for the queso, 15 minutes for the burrito and 20 for the “salsa” that I didn’t eat.
Food was also pretty pricy. Especially for the portion size. I wound up paying $20.
Overall this place was a bit disappointing. Flavor was okay, environment was horrendous and staff was not helpful or knowledgeable on their own menu.

AMAZING food - Edit
The food here is incredible, and so was the service. A hiccup with Square made my order go missing even though I paid, and after waiting a while and my friend already finishing his order I finally asked about it. The chef was SUPER nice and gave me extra food even though I didn’t ask for any and was totally fine waiting longer for it. The food was INCREDIBLE, so dang good. Love the sauces. Highly recommend the tacos!

Glorious Hole in the wall - Edit
Awesome find! My vegetarian and carnist friends loved it too!
Read moreAlso, we were able to sit down at the International and grab drinks during our meal and while we waited for food.
Was just one guy running the show at Lick It Up but he was patient and made some spectacular food. Can’t wait to go back!
I almost didn’t even go because without a phone number I was worried that it may be closed due to COVID-19
#Veganuary
Pros: 100% vegan, Affordable , Variety of flavors
Cons: Fríes carne asada are salty , Takeout only — can sit at the International tho, No phone number

Great options! - Edit
Loved this place, tucked away in a bar in downtown. We had flautas, asada fries, and tacos. Everything was pretty delicious! *Some have noted that the food is salty, but we only noticed the asada being salty. Overall, a must try!

Nope - Edit
Not at all customizable, the Adobada and Carne Asada are incredibly salty and I have no idea what the nacho cheese tastes like, but inedible for our family. Drinks options are only mexican fruit sodas, not even water. Sorry I spent the money.

Cons: Expensive, too salty, odd flavors nacho cheese

Tacos! - Edit
The tacos are all good and it's so nice to have multiple choices! Also the brussel sprouts side was amazing. Seems like a cool place to hang when the restaurant's open to indoor seating again.
