Wow, how sad! Supposedly one of the nicer restaraunts in El Paso, and they helped ruin an otherwise nice evening. Went with a group of 12 (with reservations) for a business dinner. Service was VERY slow, took 1 1/2 hrs to be served dinner. Food was only ok, and my shrimp specialty dish was very disappointing - overcooked, tough, bland,... more

My husband took me to Cafe Central for a nice, romantic evening. Instead, we ended up leaving angry and disappointed. We will surely never go back. For a restaurant that pricey, you'd expect top notch service, however we were given the exact opposite. Between having empty glasses on our table for 30 minutes before anyone noticed, having my plate removed... more

I took a date to Cafe Central on a Friday evening 3 weeks ago. From reading previous reviews, I realized they practiced selective seating, no surprise, so my date and I were seated in the corner, away from the center of the restaurant.

I have to say immediately that I agree with plenty of others in saying the "signature" cream of green chili is quite simply the best tasting soup i've ever had. The bus girl immediately brought a great selection of breads to choose from, even Armenian lavash bread!. The menu was pretty... more

Since I have lived in El Paso for 5 years now, I want to share my dining experiences. Cafe Central promotes itself as the "white table cloth finest" dining in town. Unfortunately, it has missed the mark on more than one occasion with me. I have spent anniversary, client and birthday dinners here, and each time I have had significant... more

Kinda pricey, but gourment food and ambiance makes it worth it. more

My friends and I chose this restaurant because we heard reall good things about it and it was close to our hotel in the downtown area. We were seated right next to the kitchen and when we asked for a different table, we weren't given one although there were several others open. The interior is OK looking, but the chairs... more

The service was terrible and the food was NOT worth the cost. more
