Small facility, but authentic appeal. Buy the tortillas for home & cook the rest at home to save money.
Most Excellent Flour Tortillas! Corn tortillas are the best around for making tacos! Crystal is always busy!
Very Delicious food, employees are kind and very quick, just make sure to bring cash, the atm inside charges you 3$ and the minimum you can take out is 20$. Here's the menu just in case you are curious about prices and options!
Burritos are delicious, well packed and affordable The staff is very friendly and attentive
I'm from Denver, CO when I drive into town Crystal's is a MUST!!! Service is great and fast, burritos are always on point! I always get a dozen on my drive back to CO. I also witnessed the owner offer the homeless man food and checking up on him, very heart warming and it's just something no one really witnesses or talks about!
I was craving breakfast burritos; it was 7:30 a.m., and Tortilleria Crystal was the only open place near me. I was surprised to see that there was a line to order that went all the way outside the restaurant, and that made me happy because, most times, this means the food is really good. Tortilleria Crystal is a hole in the wall on McCombs Street in Northeast El Paso. They have a wide variety of guisados to make burritos to go, or you may also eat at their dining area. Tortilleria Crystal serves breakfast plates, tamales, menudo on Sundays, and others. Everything looked delicious, and the people in line assured me all the guisados were worth trying. One burrito is big enough to satisfy hunger. I noticed their staff primarily speak Spanish. Tortilleria Crystal only accepts cash and has an ATM by the register in case you have no money with you. It is a humble restaurant with affordable and delicious food.
Was in town from LA and had to come try this place. Food was 10/10 Customer service was 10/10 Definitely a must try if your visiting El Paso
Been here before to get burritos and they are damn good. The chile colorado and arriero burritos are on point. Went today to sot down. Even with it as busy as it was the service was damn good and food was out fast. I got Pozole and man it had a mild spice to it and so much flavor. One of the best at a restaurant i've ever had. It is a small environment so if you are claustrophobic, maybe order to go. I wanna keep going back to try more items.
I was in town visiting some of my husband's side of the family. My sister in law suggested going here, she follows a lot of influencers and said this restaurant was owned by the parents of one of the influencers she follows. She had gone once before, said she liked the food and that it was cheap - say no more. The place is tiny, almost no room to walk around and very limited amount of tables. There's people coming in and out ordering tortillas and meat by the pound. From reading other reviews, it seems they actually expanded to the spot next door. When the back door was opened, you'd hear loud music coming from a guy playing the guitar outside. I looked up, and saw so much dust and spider webs on their decorations, they definitely could do a better job cleaning. My husband and sister in law ordered menudo, my brother in law had barbacoa and I ordered chilaquiles verdes. We all had manzanita sol sodas and chips and salsa while we waited for our food. The salsa was really good. Food came and we started eating. I am not a menudo fan, but my husband and his sister were loving it, made authentic to the point it reminded them of their childhood in Mexico. The barbacoa was soft and pretty tasty. The chilaquiles were good, but a little too spicy. I love spiciness, if a plate of food doesn't have a type of spice I feel like it's not complete, but it got to the point I was not enjoying eating them halfway through so that's saying something. I couldn't believe how cheap it was for pretty good food. Would recommend to check it out. Just beware with the spice level!
