" I visited El Cometa after hearing great things about their flautas. Honestly, they exceeded my expectations! The first bite had me hooked. The flavor was authentic, and the toppings were fresh. I did have a bit of trouble with the cashier who didn't seem to understand my order well. The restaurant was busy but the environment was still lively and enjoyable. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love El Cometa! I come here at least once a week because their flautas are so good! They have a great salsa bar that lets you customize your meal. On my most recent visit, I brought my coworkers for lunch, and they were just as impressed. However, the customer service was less than stellar today; the staff appeared busy and not as attentive as usual. Overall, still one of my favorite places! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cometa has earned its place in my heart as my favorite taqueria in the area. I love their tacos al pastor, which are always incredibly well-seasoned. The prices are reasonable and I often leave with leftovers due to the generous portions. However, my last experience was a bit marred by a long wait for my food, which was frustrating. All in all, the quality of the food definitely keeps me coming back this gem of a restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting El Cometa was a real treat! The tacos were fantastic, and I love how they offer an open salsa bar. It creates a personalized touch to the dining experience. I'm not giving them a perfect score only because they occasionally struggle with managing the crowds on busy days. But the quality of food is definitely worth the minor inconveniences. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at El Cometa and it was amazing! The staff were helpful when I was trying to decide what to order. I opted for the flautas and they lived up to the reputation! Crunchy, filled with flavor, and topped with just the right amount of queso. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant, and the lively atmosphere really added to the dining experience. I will definitely visit again when I'm back in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in El Paso, El Cometa is the place to go! Their flautas are always cooked to perfection, and I can't help but go back for more. The downside I experienced was the long wait time for my food. It felt like an eternity before my order arrived. Nonetheless, I still love their flavors and think they offer great value!
