Los Colegas

The food was great. I wil give them that but there was a roach under the table. That threw my appetite all the way off. My husband and I were only trying something new and again the food was good but they seem to have a pest issue.

Food was decent, service was bad. I went around 2:00 pm and there were only a handful of customers. It took the staff 20 minutes to take my order. And when I was paying, they forgot about me and never brought my credit card back. I had to go ask for it.

It’s an interesting place… my biggest complaint is that it was so damn loud. I mean really? it’s not even 6pm yet… why so loud? I had a fish over rice and my friend had the deep fried fish special. Both were pretty good, salsa is not impressive and the margaritas are HUGE… the shrimp cocktail is also massive, but she didn’t like the taste.
I don’t know, with all of the choices i probably wouldn’t do this one again.

I took my elderly mom here for late lunch. It was full, but there were no delays in sitting us. Greeter and our waiter were very nice. The servings are hearty, try not to fill yourself with the bread first, There is plenty of rice as well. My mom had the Sopa marinera she loved it, it’s a large bowl she took half home. We enjoyed the Mariscada for two could have easily served 3 people. The limonada was so good, we had some to go. Nice place. Be careful with the floor /​tile it is slippery. Will return to try other stuff on the menu.

The prices were reasonable. The portions were a bit small. The fish tacos had good flavor but the shrimp cocktail was watery. The wait time to get our drink order was longer than expected. But our waiter tried to remediate the situation by giving us complimentary cup of fish soup which was actually quite tasty. The service failed once again after we ordered a beer but the beer never arrived. Over all, I probably will not return to this place. Mediocre food and disappointing service is hurting this establishment.

The best customer service ever!!! Two have been here twice with family and the servers have take care of us. The food was great as well. I highly recommend the Trio fajitas. Well worth it! The shrimp cocktail was also delicious. The fish soup is also very good… Lots of fish.

Ok. I read and heard about this joint. Came to check it out and I was not disappointed. The food was the bomb. Starts w chips and limon. I ordered the Cameron Aguachiles outfreakingstanding! I had a virgin mango margarita and it tasted great as well. All of these years I have visited El Paso for work or to visit my son at Fort Bliss I have been missing out. Try it out.

I wish I could give a five but the waiter was just bad, first I wanna start with the food even tho that is always last; it was delicious, I got tostadas de ceviche and tacos de Ensenada, my daughter got the cocktel de camarones and it was just awesome. Now the bad, the waiter took five mins before he came and brought the chips and ask for the drinks, there was no customers but every employee was by the mans’ bathroom laughing and cracking jokes, then when he brought the tostadas I asked for some mayo and that never came till the actual food arrived which was like 15mins after I asked for it, he took 15 mins just to bring me some mayonnaise, then another couple came and he was all over them, and every time he came to their table he wouldn’t ask us if we was ok. I was drinking ice melted coke for like 10mins, then I asked for a box to go and I had to ask for it twice just like the mayonnaise, with this guy it was all about waiting and asking more then once, the food is worth it do, and for tip I only gives him $ 5 from my order of $ 56 and he is lucky cause I wanted to give him less, I was waitress once and I know how it sucks when people are cheap but this guy just didn’t even deserve my $ 5

While visiting El Paso from Los Angeles my family and I came across this restaurant. The drinks were delicious although I confused the waitress by asking her for a michelada which here they are known as Clamatos. The food was so good and after a long drive it hit the spot!!! Just our luck we came in just in time for a Juan Gabriel impersonator show. Overall, the food and drinks were great and super cheap compared to what we pay here in LA.

Loved this place in Juarez, back in the days when it was a small place and love it now!
Service was fast and very professional. The food and clamatos are just great!
We had Aguachiles. First time my husband tried this ever and couldn’t stop eating to the point of food coma.
We enjoyed live mexican music that was a great plus to us! Great job!!!

My first time and definitely not my last. I first knew of this place from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua years ago and loved what they did with the Clamatos, «Pa la cruda». But the food is simply just cooked well and with the right amount of flavor, love and portion. Presentation was above my expectations and service was professional and attentive. One of our five plates came out wrong but the manner in which the staff took care of the situation was top notch. Free sample of fish soup to kepp the guest eating… and it also tasted just like home cooked «caldo de pescado». You don’t have to be hung over to enjoy the selections, just bring your appetite.

Holy mother Mary of God. I went on the first friday after ash Wednesday and this place was FULL of Mexicans hunting their fish… you know… because fish «isn’t meat».
Anyway it was incredible. I love seafood and Mexican food and… POW! Best of both worlds. I had the chipotle shrimp and fish and nearly shit myself it was so much.
The ceviche was good. Th salsa and chips were great. Just leave your colon at home friends. I’ll be back.

The shrimp ceviche is amazing and the drinks are well made! Try a michelada with the jerky in the mug

Service was okay. I ordered shrimp cocktail because it looked delicious, but when I received it, it was not what I expected. The sauce was so sweet that I could not eat it. Not the kind of shrimp cocktail I’m familiar with.

Those clamatos are the best hangover cure. The shrimp in it was pretty tasteless but edible. The oysters are some of the best I’ve had. Don’t like the way they stack the ceviche but it was very tasty. The salsa was spicy and good and the tostadas were thick and fresh. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Overall, when it comes to seafood places on east el paso, I’ll opt for los colegas.

My family and I love the food and the service is usually good. I think the menu was updated not to long ago and it was definitely for the better. Tacos Ensenada is my new favorite dish!

The food is good, but the service is awful. They need to work on the service in order to get more stars.

I came here for lunch. They have a $ 6.99 4 taco special. There are about 10 different kinds to choose from — I opted for the grilled fish– they were okay. You can’t mix & match and the tacos are a bit on the small side but enough to fill you up. The side of mashed potatoes were good and fresh. I also tried the cheese queso with grounded chorizo. The cheese was so thick and stringy I could barely get it separate to get a bite. Maybe that’s how they do it here in El Paso. Also, the menu is in Spanish but if you’re a gringo like me, they have an Americanized version. Most of the staff only speaks Spanish as well.
This is a very colorful restaurant/​bar with loud Mexican music — a bit on the cheesy side. I kind of felt like I was in Cancun. There’s a huge Bud Light poster on the stage — autographed by the Bud girls in it, of course. I’m guessing this place may get a little loud at night– it def Felt like a party bar. I saw a karaōke sign walking in and different drink specials on different nights. Not my cup of tea so I won’t return.

Great food. Definitely real Mexican — in fact menu is totally in Spanish and they speak limited English. We worked thru it and had a great shrimp taco lunch. Unfortunately they do not take AMEX so I won’t return.
