The food was really good and alot of it, so go hungry. However, the service was a little slower than normal especially with it not being packed.

thanks Carlos(mgr) and the El Paso staff. the food is always incredible, with wonderful service. during our most recent visit, a group of about 20 volunteers visited El Paso. these volunteers/helicopter pilots have been working 14 hour days for the past 10 days, raising awareness and airdropping food, essentials, medical supplies and clothing to those in Western Carolina affected by Helene. after learning this big group were volunteers, Carlos and El Paso compted the entire bill. First class act and appreciated by all. thank you!!!
