Las Fuentes Restaurant

If you like enchiladas and prefer the green sauce then you have to try the green enchiladas here because they have some of the best green sauce you will try. I haven’t tried anything else so I’ll have to update my review at a later date.

One server but great service Food was good. Salsa was hot but good. Price below $ 10

This is the best kept secret in all of El Paso! The food is so authentic and delicious. Definitely not «unnatural» like another Unilocaler accused. Their prices are very inexpensive without compromising the taste of the food. They have daily specials for $ 4.99 (or $ 5.99 if it’s steak or fish) The staff are very nice and make the environment here feel like you’re with family. I recommend the green enchiladas if you can handle the spice from the sauce. The green sauce they use is seriously from the heavens! Plus they have 3 tv’s so you can come here on game days to enjoy your meal. Give this place a shot and you won’t regret it!

This place was recommended to us by the guy working the Avis lot at the airport. We both got the #2 combo. The chile rellenos were not very good. In fact, everything on the plate was very average. Sauces had unusual colors and tastes — not natural. I’ve had better Mexican in Philadelphia and in Detroit. WTF? The Mexican border is only a few miles away.
Also, the place has a very cheap, dirty vibe.

A hidden jewel in the Eastridge neighborhood, Las Fuentes is a family place like so many of the best restaurants in El Paso and somebody in the back loves to cook because their food is way above average. My family had green chicken enchiladas and chicken flautas. I’m an enchilada snob and I learned from my dad so I decided to test our server. «How are your enchiladas?» «Very good: I like them.» «Really? How’s the green sauce?» «It’s very good.» «Oh yeah? How many cans of sauce do you use each day?» She stood up straight and looked deeply offended. «We NEVER use canned sauce. We make our sauce fresh every day.» Then she walked away and I was thinking I probably pushed my luck too far when she reappeared with a purposeful look and a small cup with green sauce in it. «Here,» she said, thrusting the cup toward me. «Taste the sauce.» Folks I am here to tell you I have never tasted green enchilada sauce like that and I love me some green enchiladas. The sauce is light with small bits of chile and has a complex flavor that kept my pallet guessing for a few minutes. The food was as good as the sample and even my dad was pleased. Mom and I also liked the salsa which was a little too hot for Dad’s stomach.
This is a new favorite of mine.
