Driving from Pensacola to California we had to make our way through Texas, and right through El Paso... We decided Mexican sounded good, so at a rest stop on the way to El Paso I busted out the i-Pad and queried TripAdvisor to see where the best Mexican food in El Paso could be found. When I checked, L&J Cafe... More

dinner last night was sloppy. The green chili chicken enchiladas (3) had little to no chicken in them- several tortillas rolled up to look like it was full of something. The chile conqueso dip was sloppy, watery- a microwaved mess of decent green with cheeap cheese. The taste of the canned green chile is good but it is canned. We... More

Come here for the excellent food and you will come back or wish you could! Tucked in a barrio next to a cemetery, don't let the neighborhood or lack of parking scare you off. After a 15 minute wait we had fast, attentive service and we were asked by three different people, including our waitress if we needed anything else.... More

Coming from TX going to NM, we stopped in El Paso for a quick lunch at L&J cafe. Though the place is popular we had to wait approx 20 min to have a table, it was really worth it. Service was friendly, and food was very good. We particularly enjoyed the fresh greens coming with the food, and the home... More

Visited twice over a couple of days. Very friendly service and the food tasted great to us. Prices were good and the place is very authentic. Nice quiet location.(go there, you'll see) It was just what we expected. All round a good experience and congratulations to the owners for doing this for so long.

Went to a business lunch with 2 others. Love the "dive" atmosphere and the fact it was so busy on a Tuesday we had to wait, then placed us at a larger table to share with others. Chips & Salsa were great and in the end, none of us could finish. Started with Queso which was thick and loaded with... More

Tou think you have had real Mexican food Texas style? Well, not if you havent been to L&J in El Paso! To make it easy. Go with the recomendation of the house and get yourself a treat! If you do not like big potions, cheese, jalapenos etc - this is not for you. Do not go here if you are... More

I've long been a fan of L & J's but lately there is a magnet pulling me there a lot more often. The range of food, the quality, the wonderful, fun, and friendly service, the unbelievable prices,, what is there not to love? Now the wait can get long,,, but what does that tell you? You need to get there... More

If this is #2 in El Paso, there is not much to choose from. This restaurant was good for the everyday recipes of Tex-Mex but nothing extraordinary. The food was fresh and well prepared. It is a hole in the wall with a lively clientele and jukebox music. The prices were good but if you are looking for authentic Mexican... More
