The food is good, service and atmosphere are great, but the price, especially for drinks, is absurd. Five reais (R$4,50, plus 10% mandatory "tip", R$4,95) for a 300ml bottle of water?? The same 300ml São Lourenço bottle that is sold by less than R$1 at the supermarket in front, and from R$2 to R$3,50 in every other fancy restaurant in... More

If you are visiting Brasilia don't waste your time at this restaurant. It is a pale imitation of the food and the decor is overdone. If you live in Brasilia and you want something a bit different for some reason, by all means give it a try. My only lasting impression was the heartburn.

I love the new unit at SQN 110! I had self service and really recommend it! Food is very fresh, even at evening. Some plates are prepared right there, in front of you. There are many plates and fantastic sauces. Environment is informal and funny. Staff is gentle and willing to help all the time.

A bad caricature of Mexican or Tex Mex food. If you've ever had Mexican food, stay away. The cooks at this place evidently have only seen the pictures online. Not even close!

El Paso is admittedly Brasilia's best attempt at a Mexican restaurant. However, if you're accustomed to Mexican restaurants in the US or Mexico, this place is not good. The atmosphere is traditional and cheesy and menu selection is good. The food is not authentic and not really worth it (we had the buffet).

I was not expcting much from El PAso Texas when we arrived, but we were pleasantly surprised. The service was attentive, the drink delicious and the food ...good. The kids loved the decor and atmosphere. It is definetly a good place to go if you a craving some Mexican Food and Drinks. I can drecommend it without hesitation.

We had an OK meal here -- like the Peruvian food -- but it's too gringo.

Lacks taste and originality. Expensive, even for Brasilia´s high standards. If you have ever been to Mexico (or any mexican restaurant in the US) you will inevitably realize that Mexican spices and flavours stand miles and miles away from this restaurant.

The best Mexican restaurant in Brasilia, but the competition is not up to par. The atmosphere of both El Pasos is good, the service is good, but the food is just OK. The salsa is not very good (hot, not spicy), and the food is decent but overpriced. I have been there a few times to get my fix of... More

I went to El Paso, Texas where I had a nice dinner in relaxing place with excellent service. Obligatory stop for visitors to Brasilia. Latin music animates the environment. The decor is very colorful, fun, up. There are two menus, one with the best Latin American cuisine, especially Peruvian, and another with the classics of Mexican cuisine.
