El Paso Cafe 4235 North Pershing Drive, Arlington, VA 22203

"Went here on a Tuesday evening and it wasn't too busy so we were seated quickly. Service here was nice and prompt. I had the fried Golden Chimmichanga with chicken which was really good. I really enjoyed the chips and salsa. Atmosphere in the restaurant was nice too. Would recommend a visit. As mentioned in other reviews parking can be hard to find during peak hours."

"A solid-tasting, and always-busy offering of Tex-Mex in NOVA, with good drinks and plentiful food. --- My significant other and I visited here on a Friday night. I've visited a few times in the past, and it's always very busy. Tonight was no exception - we got one of the last tables at 5:45 and until we left there was a huge line at the door for a table. The restaurant is well decorated inside, with a nice bar and orange-ish walls. For as busy as this place always is, the space is a bit small and large parties next to each other can feel very crowded. The service was solid, especially for how busy it was. For food and drinks we kept it simple - to go with the chips and salsa I got a Diet Coke and Claudia's Platter, while my partner ordered a Margarita and a Fajita Salad without the Taco Bowl. I really like the Chips and Salsa - chips are fried right and the salsa is flavorful with the perfect amount of spice for 90% of people. The margarita on the rocks was very good, but strong. Would recommend if you're looking to get ahead of your night out. The entrees were solid, although not the best I've had in town. The food is plentiful - especially the platters. However with the loads of cheese it was hard for the flavor and spices of the meet to come through, and while I really liked how the rice was prepared the beans were a bit too liquid and lacking of flavor for my taste. Overall a solid, casual dinner experience outside of the main streets of Arlington. Although be prepared for crowds and a wait if you come during dinner."

"The food here is authentic and great! The staff is super friendly and attentive, always quick to notice refills are needed. The chips and salsa brought out when you first arrive are good and the meals are good too. I got the enchiladas mixtas and the refried beans on the side were the best I've ever had! The burritos are also good and super cheesy! The place has a nice feel inside and the people are awesome."

"We really enjoyed this place. The food was good. We had a combo and taco plate. Chips and salsa were really good. Service was slow and not very good. I would recommend this place."
