Delicious Mexican Eatery

As soon as I land in ELP I go straight to Delicious. The Gorditas are amazing. The staff as super friendly and patient with it's customers. And the ambiance is no frills just here for the food.

I'm a Texas boy, where good gorditas were plentiful...
Now that I live in California, the things they try to pass off as "gorditas" in California are as repulsive as mustard on a manure pile.

Imagine my delight when I tried "Delicious". My brother was the one that introduced me to this place, because I told him I'd been jonesing for a real gordita since I stopped going to La Tapatia in Ysleta (please see my Tapatia review).

Delicious didn't disappoint - they surpassed. The size was perfect. A plate of 3 with beans and rice is less than what a plate of chips and salsa would cost me in L.A. The flavor was beyond any gordita I've had so are - including La Tapatia (back before they shaved their heads into the food).

The place is spotlessly clean, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is truly "Delicious".

You'll see me here (and at their other location on the East Side) more frequently when I'm in El Paso...

Forgot about my order. Waited for 1 hour and got nothing. They said to many orders but I watched them come in and come out with big orders. Would not recommend wish I could give zero stars.

The cashier is so rude and unfriendly to customers, great food and Delicious has been around for years. This is not the first time that the same cashier acts rude. Maybe it's time to look for a new restaurant.

Small hole in the wall restaurant with locals as customers. Only a few tables to sit and eat, but they also have carry out. You order at the counter. We all got the gordita platter, which were as good as everyone has said. I also liked the rice.

My visit was back on Saturday October 10th. The gorditas were incredible and the rest of the meal (tacos, rice and beans) was very good.
I was in from out of town and would definitely stop back when I'm in the area again (even if it's takeout only during the the times of the 'rona).
With any luck, and it might be a couple of years, this will be one of my staples when I'm living in or around the historic district.

Great food. And when things go wrong, they were really good about making up for their mistake. Definitely a good place to eat.

The once mighty "Delicious" is no longer. The food is ok, but the service is absolutely horrible now - and consistently bad. Some employees care but most do not and the food wait times are terrible. Phone orders are a joke because they pick up the phone and never go back after placing you on hold. The true travesty here is the owner - Ray Borrego - could care less about taking care of his business. He doesn't return phone calls after 3 attempts and doesn't fix things that are greatly affecting his business negatively. Phone hasn't worked properly for months (a great excuse for lazy employees to not take phone orders too) - soda fountain needs repair and just overall execution of this restaurant operation is poor. Employees say he won't fix things. This is the perfect example of a business owner not valuing what he has and neglecting it to the fullest. The once great "Delicious" is a lackluster business at minimum and in great need of an owner that actually cares.

This place is really solid. I came in for the lunch special and it's really solid especially for the price point. They also give military discounts. Place is spacious with another open room next to the entrance and the people are really friendly. Another thing I really liked was the fact that you can swap out anything for anything on the lunch special.

My visit was from 12/15/22 to 12/17/22. My husband grew up here and it has been 10 years since we've been back. I tried their gorditas. We bought 6 on 12/15/22 and we went back on 12/17/22 to buy a dozen this time. They are out of this world and the price is reasonable. My husband got their burritos and chile relleano (sp?). Everything was delicious just like their company name. The service is quite slow! It appears they are not enough staff. They were selling tamales for the holidays, but we didn't get any. I definitely will return to this place when we come back to El Paso. Thanks for making the delicious food!
