El Paso MX Cocina - Columbia (IL)

5 /5 Jennifer Thorne: We eat here once or twice a week. Lots of locals are there just as often. Outside seating is always nice. When the garage doors are open, the fresh air inside is just as nice as outside without being on the sidewalk. They run fans when the front is open, so flies are not an issue. The food is amazing and lots to choose from. The chips and salsa are fresh, you rarely have to ask for more because they refill it often. If you want take out the amount of food you get is the same as eating there. The employees dont quit because its a great atmosphere for them. Management treats them well, and it shows in your service.

4 /5 Fox: Update 2: Table service still needs some work. Long time to get drinks initially, asked for apps to come out first, but it served same time with our dinners. Had to go find a server twice to ask for service. Consistent issue across multiple visits. Food remains delivious! Still love the place but please work to improve the waiter service so I can go back to 5 stars. Well seasoned and cooked food. Steak fries were delicious. Had the Fajitas El Paso, and it was excellent. Top notch good Mexican food. A soccer game was on the TV, and we had to chase down the wait a few times, but hey, overall, I will happily come back again! (Update) Went back with a family of 10, and everyone loved the food. This became a new favorite Mexican restaurant for a few first-timers. Still need to work a bit on the waiter service being a bit more prompt and attentive. But the excellence of the meal makes up for that minor shortcoming.

4 /5 Heather K: After waiting five minutes we were seated at a table near the bar. Our server took my order and started to walk away before taking my boyfriends order. She was apologetic. Our food came out but our appetizer arrived after we started eating. The food was good and we will be back again.

5 /5 Misty Bievenue: Very good! Salsa is great & the red & green sauce. Ill return.

5 /5 Robert Sale: I can’t say enough about the dish I had “Alambre! “ it was amazing. I am not a fan of green peppers so I omitted them. It’s hard to get excited about tacos, but you will love these.
