First time trying this place the service was great immediately greeted by the front desk and guided us to our table where we were served by Jason, super funny respectful and attentive, also hot. The food was good the app was delicious, it was the Hamachi and I ordered the Half Chicken. My entree was ok, wasn’t satisfied because it was dry, I was expecting a baked or grilled chicken that retained more flavor that signature juicy, tenderness I was lookin forward too. Maybe overcooked or if that’s how it was supposed to be prepared but I should have asked if it was going to be served dry.That’s the only critique I had.

Absolutely a five star experience. Dante and Luis made the night fantastic. The food quality and value are unmatched in El Paso. Everything was done to perfection. Attention to detail is better than any other restaurant in the downtown area. This restaurant is a must for anyone spending an evening downtown.

The food was great, and I’m so sorry I can’t remember our server but he was outstanding. He brought out a sample of I even forget what it was called and it was good. I recommend maybe if they would drop it in some hot oil to harden the shell a bit it might be better. He took that idea back to the chef they tried it brought us another sample and it was better.. he thanked us for the recommendation and said that they might try it that way going forward. I love a place that actually listens to their customers and not just blow us off…. This place is a must dine… we will for sure be going back.

The entire meal was fantastic We started with the Octopus Chicharron and and Grilled Brussel Sprouts. So many times Octopus is over cooked and chewy but the Chef absolutely nailed it with a perfectly fried tentacle with such a light batter as to barely notice. My friend who “didn’t like Brussel sprouts” was caught going back for a third helping. Jason helped us find the perfect bottle of wine that didn’t break the budget everyone thoroughly enjoyed their entrees Unfortunately we were to full to check out the deserts. Next time we will

Wonderful event and dinner to help Latin youth in the culinary arts. Every course was magnificent. The Vanilla Chicken (3d course) my favorite, closely followed by the scallop appetizer (1st Course) and the wonderful innovative cherry desert.

We hadn’t been to Taft Diaz in several years. I chose this restaurant for a business dinner and was surprised at how pricey it has become - I guess it was always a little pricey, but $68 for a NY strip in El Paso seems a bit much. The service was very good, but the server did not write down the order, which is impressive if there are no mistakes, but is annoying if anything is wrong. I had asked for dressing on the side for my salad and it came out dressed and when I said, “oh, they didn’t put the dressing on the side?”, she seemed surprised and said, “you wanted it on the side?” She did offer to have it remade but it wasn’t heavily dressed so it was fine. We ordered the bone marrow and Brussels sprouts for apps. There are three pieces for the bone marrow. One piece had a good amount of bone marrow, the second piece had some, but my piece had absolutely nothing so I just drizzled the butter onto the tortilla. I guess this isn’t the restaurant’s fault though. The Brussels were good. Two people got the corn soup and I had the salad. My husband got the NY strip, I had the salmon and the other person had the lobster ravioli. I asked if the salmon was wild caught and they said it was, which was a pleasant surprise so I ordered it. It was in a heavy cream sauce and I did not care for it and I have doubts about whether it was wild caught bc wild caught salmon is usually much brighter in color and drier than farm-raised salmon. I think the other entrees were enjoyed. We shared a cheesecake for dessert and it was good. My husband likes their Japanese old fashions. The check was hefty and for the price, I’m not sure we will return any time soon.
