" Visiting L & J Cafe was on my bucket list, and it certainly did not disappoint! I had the green enchilada plate along with frijoles and rice. Everything was authentic and had pronounced flavors. The pricing made it a great find, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I am already planning my next visit before heading further into Texas! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I took my family to L & J Cafe, and we were blown away by the experience! The place was buzzing with energy, and we felt very welcomed. I had the chance to try their famous tacos and enchiladas - both were bursting with flavors! My husband loved the margaritas, claiming they were worth every penny. Service was prompt, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to have us. It was a little crowded, but that's just a sign of a popular eatery. Definitely going back! " (*Curated Review*)

" L & J Cafe is a must if you're in the El Paso area. The authenticity of the food rivals that of many places in Mexico! I ordered the beef tacos, which were generously portioned and bursting with flavor. The salsa that accompanies the chips was also excellent.

" As someone who loves Mexican cuisine, L & J Cafe was a delightful find during my stay in El Paso! My partner and I visited for lunch, and we were ecstatic to discover such fresh guacamole and robust salsa. The breakfast burrito with chorizo was exceptional, though I felt the tortillas could have been slightly warmer upon serving. Overall, the meal was delicious and I am eager to return for dinner.

" I went to L & J Cafe after hearing all the great reviews, and my experience was largely positive! The food was authentic and plentiful, especially the combination plate. The corn tortillas were homemade and heavenly. The service started off a bit rocky due to it being busy, but once seated, everything went smoothly. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone visiting El Paso. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is truly an iconic spot in El Paso. I was so excited to finally try their food after hearing so many good things from my friends. I had the chicken mole, which was rich and beautifully presented. However, the parking situation was a bit of a hassle, and the restaurant was crowded, leading to a slight wait for my meal. The prices were decent for the amount of food we received, so I wouldn’t hesitate to try it again. " (*Curated Review*)
