L & J Cafe
The L & J Cafe is a uniquely flavorful link between El Paso’s past and present. Originally known as “Tony’s Place”, the restaurant opened on the outskirts of El Paso in 1927, providing home cooking, home brew and slot machines through Prohibition.
Later renamed the “L & J Cafe,” a fourth generation now continues the family tradition. Delicious food and drink, excellent service and a historic central location make the L & J Cafe an enduring favorite among locals and lucky travelers alike.

five star review by Luke B:
Enchiladas were very tasty! Really enjoyed both red and green chili but I think the green chili enchiladas have a slight edge over the red. The staff were very attentive and helpful!

You can tell a place is great when all the locals are there. I had the combination plate so I could sample as much as possible. Did not disappoint. Gotta try if you are in town.

I walked in with a party of twelve on a lively night. Despite it being near closing time, the hospitality was outstanding. Endless chips, ordering recommendations, drink refills at the right times - on top of everything, all the food was delicious and at a great price.

When you visit this place, you see lots of local people enjoying great food, and that is a good sign that this realy is authentic maxican cuisine. I ordered maxican combo, each item was delicious and it was lots of food. I enjoyed every bit of it. Highly recommended for maxican cuisine.
