Reviews L & J Cafe

Went on a Wednesday around noon — was a little confused on the entrance initially, and then who/where to ask for a table. The Cafe shares the space with a bar (whose staff seem friendly). However, once we found our seats, the staff were attentive, food/drinks were delivered timely, and the ambiance was very calm and homey. Food was a bit too greasy for my taste but overall very good! The complimentary chips and salsa were especially tasty in my opinion. I would definitely stop by again.

On Christmas Eve, I decided to take a drive around El Paso and all the restaurants that I went to were closed. Heading back home, I stopped at L & J to buy me some chicken tacos to go. My meal was delicious 😋 and filling and to Bad the 🤠 lost!

Food was great! Still working on getting their liquor license, will really be a boost for them I believe. The alternate wine they use, tequista, is a little sweet, but is the best alternative to tequila for them right now.

Everyone in El Paso knows L&J for their delicious Mexican food for lunch or dinner. Their breakfast is also great! From Mexican choices to Bannana Foster French toast and the biggest softest cinnamon rolls!

Going back home means going back to real Mexican food in El Paso. It is truly hard to find many restaurants in North Dallas with an authentic Mexican flavor. The restaurant by the graveyards allows those of us who left to come back and quietly wrap our taste buds around THAT 915 taste. If you are from out of town, know that parking is a real problem and YES it's located next to a cemetery which Zac Bagans featured on one of his most scariest shows. Cashews mom and I left the monkies behind so we could have quality time with our taste buds and not hear one child tell the other "leave me alone." The restaurant has its bathrooms as you enter and know that it's a small place so large parties might have not only wait time issues but sitting together. They bring you warm chips and salsa so be careful to not load up with these items since they are so good. My big belly needed enmoladas, like enchiladas but the sauce has a sweeter chocolate base, with eggs and refried beans. Cashews mom needed her Chile Relleno burrito. The meal was awesome. The hang time waiting for the meal a bit long yet my tate buds were thrilled to be infused with that hometown food. If you visit, bring your Holy water and cross, yet you'll depart with a smile on your face.

It was really greaaat , perfectly done ✔️ The highlight, though, was the exceptional service provided by ***Courtney***!! Also Juan , making it the best dining experience in a very long time. The combination of flavorful food and top-notch service makes L & J Cafe a must-visit for those seeking an authentic and enjoyable culinary experience in El Paso. Big thanks to the Chef 👨🏻‍🍳 And to Courtney !
