El Cometa: Reviews & Ratings
This place is always always packed and I've seen lines out the door. I will say that in the past couple of years, the flautas have gotten much smaller.! Still great flautas ! If you want true authentic Mexican food, this has to be your destination. I recommend this place. A must-visit for Mexican food lovers.
The restaurant served delicious food. I have a couple of suggestions. First, your prices should match the menu you have posted online. My order of tacos de alambre with cheese, was $3.40 more. The tacos de alambe with cheese were also $3.40 more. its extremely important that your information online is accurate. The second was that my beef tacos de alambre with cheese, were supposed to be grilled onions, the onions were almost completely raw. Also, my orddr had half onions the other half was meat, a tad of green pepper, and a bit of cheese. I think if I liked raw onions, maybe it would be acceptable. I only like grilled onions. Using an excess of this ingredient, and trying to eat them practically raw, ruined my meal. The reason I know the quantity is because I had to pick the onions out from order. The restaurant is welled loved by me.I've always ordered flautist to go. This was my first experience eating at this restaurant.
Great late night joint and great prices! Just wish they didn't charge for refills love the salsa bar as well, and the chips are amazing too
Super quick despite how busy it was. Amazing salsas that elevated everything. Got so caught up in how good everything was we didn't take any pictures. Was just passing through so glad I stopped. I recommend the lemonade as well! The environment was was so welcoming and lively too!
Fresh and made to order! This place had amazing flautas - I got 2 beef and 2 potato. Our food came out pretty quickly after ordering at the counter. They have a salsa bar too and all the salsas were delicious! They ranged from mild to spicy. We sat outside which was perfect for a cooler desert evening.
Food is high quality, the queso is out of this world, and the service is friendly and prompt! This is my go to place whenever I visit El Paso. It's casual and a great place for lunch!.
I order the flautist and it was good , I was surprised to see how long and big they were , we went there right before the lunch rush so it was kind of loud , they have a salsa bar that is self serve and the staff that serve us our drink was fast. You come in , order your food and you get a number and have a seat. I also had the tres leche cake and it wasn't that good . I prefer Julio's leche cake taste better
