Anointed Cuisine: A Taste Of Africa 3140 Lee Trevino Drive, El Paso, TX 79936

"The overall experience here was terrible. Upon arriving it took ten minutes to be greeted. The woman in the register was with a customer. Not once did she say hello or said she would be right with us. So mean while my family and I decided to look around at the items being sold there (we waited because my family and I really wanted to try their food, after reading the good reviews). A young lady came out from the back with food for one table and we expected to be seated or at this point anything! We finally decided to sit down and look for the menu online. We ordered six different dishes. Keep in mind the prices in the menus are not the current prices they charge towards the end and they do not discourse that. They also have a sign saying to be patient with our order due to it being done from scratch. Well, people kept coming in to eat and they were seated and served their food between 15-20 min. Our food took 1 hour and 45 minutes to arrive! We sat there the whole time. They came out once saying your food is almost done. We thought about leaving but honestly it was a lot of food that was being made so we stayed. Finally when the food came.. it was even more disappointing. The chicken was old, did not taste good at all. It looked like it had been reheated multiple times, the fish had a foul smell, the goat was very tough and the taste overall was not pleasant, the rice in all dishes was instant rice just reasoned different. The fufu was not brought with a side dish of water how everyone else had been. Upon leaving we ended paying more because the prices on the menus were not updated said the old man who was at the register. I will not go there again. Food not worth the wait, more money, and they don’t value their customers. You will be in the restaurant literally all alone because they are all in the back. I’d like to add that, I brought the food home to feed it to my dog so it wouldn’t go to waste and he didn’t even eat it! That’s how bad the food was."

"Please for your sake do not eat here! I am traveling through EP to Cali and wanted some African food. This places disappointed me. The food tasted old. I went back to the restaurant in hopes to have my order remade or get something fresher but they refused. They also refused to give me a refund. The food was very expensive— I paid over $40. The lady told me that the food was made the day before and was only a day old. I am truly disappointed that I couldn’t get my issue resolved. Save yourself the trouble of eating this tasteless African food."

"Can't say I was too impressed with the food. The plating was great and there was plenty of food, but I was disappointed in the lack of flavor. The atmosphere seemed disorganized and messy. Service was OK, but very slow, seemed like minimal staffing on a Saturday night."

"Upon arrival we realized that it was a grocery store/restaurant. It took a long time to get service, we were not sure if we could order at the table or if we needed to order at the front. A gentleman came and took our order. The food was very good. Service not great because of the wait time, but I loved my order. I had jallof rice with goat meat and spinach."

"I've come here 2 times and I can't wait to go again. The food is really delicious and the owners are so nice. They even gave us some free chin chin with our orders (we finished it in a day, it was SO good). Service is very accommodating, they made to-go orders last minute before closing. Prices are very fair. If I could come every day, I definitely would!! 10/10. P.S. Try the okro stew with ox tail."
