My number one spot I go to in Boone for Mexican food. I haven't had a disappointing meal during the 5 years that I lived in Boone. I recently moved to Matthews and have yet to find my go to spot like Taqueria El Paso. The only down side is that they don't have they're liquor license so no margs here.

Had a couple beers while waiting for our take-out order. Ordered 3 burrito Mexicanos to go. All came stuffed with tender steak and chicken and they included sides of creamy queso, salsa verde & hot salsa. Amazing flavor just enough heat to make you mouth tingle Check this place out!

*** I know typically I make vegan reviews but I'm posting on behalf of a friend who lets me know about places she eats as she travels so I didn't eat anything myself *** My friend was absolutely ecstatic to call me from 10000 miles away to tell me how good this food was. She said it was as authentic as you can get. My friend had the burrito Roqueta and her family had the mole. They managed to feed 5 people with salsa, chips, drinks and all the works for less than $60. The staff was incredibly friendly and willing to work with any food requests. Various salsas and many many traditional options. I would recommend anyone come here, it was delicious. Veggie options: there is a small veggie selection that includes several sides and quesadillas. Although not clearly listed the beans and rice appear to be vegan. The ambiance was homey and welcoming. The dining was casual and had a very nice family vibe.

BOOM! 5 Solid Stars for Taqueria El Paso! Where to start? OK Im a bit of a Mexican food snob with high expectations and usually disappointed... Not disappointed and my tummy is SO happy. This place is killer: Great service - everyone there is attentive and engaged Salsa - great but ask for the spicy stuff :) I had tacos - beef and chorizo on homemade tortillas. WOW The Mrs. had enchiladas with carnitas with sauce on top - this was a flavor I haven't had before (yes I ate some of her meal) and it was a flavor explosion Price is right...now I need a nap. Buenas tardes

This place is legit. Authentic to the core. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious and authentic. Not the best location or ambiance but worth the ride to dine. Service is top notch. Get off the beaten track and ask your server what he likes. Get ready to have your mind blown. We were in town for a getaway weekend. Stayed at Eustace Conway's place on Snaggy Mountain and he recommended the place and it he was spot on. Thanks Eustace! Great recommendation!

We love this place!!!!! Best bean dip and guac and burrito and tacos. Good veggeterian options too

Authentic Mexican food is difficult to find in the South, but this hole-in-the-wall restaurant made me feel like I was back in a California taqueria. The interior offers serval booths to sit in, the service was great, and the food was on par with the best of California taquerias. Chips and salsa were good. The corn tortillas are homemade. I had the carnitas and they were great. My husband had the al pastor burrito and it was delicious. The menu is extensive with many options. The prices are very reasonable too. I'd definitely eat here again if I'm ever back in Boone.

On a Friday night this was a welcome sight for our first time in Boone. We were able to get seated quickly and sat in the back room. You could smell the food cooking. Fairly rustic back there but clean. Put young server was nice and pleasant. Chips and salsa were good although I personally like my chips a little thinner. We got the chicken and chorizo with rice - delicious and had a clean plate - and the steak/chicken fajitas- huge portion and cooked perfectly. The tortillas were fresh and tasty. The cold beer - Pacifico- was Ice cold and went perfect with the meal. Good service and you pay up front. Really good family Mexican restaurant in Boone. I recommend giving it a try.
