Tara Thai - El Paso

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice and clean, and the staff were very friendly, kind, and attentive. I absolutely loved it. This was my first time dining here, and now it's definitely a new favorite spot of mine. The pepper steak was absolutely incredible. 10/10 recommend!

The food was good but the portions where a little small. Especially the seafood ones. We waited an hour for our food but with such limited staff I understand waitress handled her job by herself but you could tell they need another person at least fordiners. Flavor where great. But again a little expensive for the portion sizes and the price being asked. But hey that'sinflation for you.

I enjoy the cuisine at this restaurant, as it offers a unique twist on Asian flavors not typically found in El Paso. My daughter and I tried the cashew nut dish, which was fragrant and delicious. While the cashews were a bit scarce, they added a nice crunch to the meal. The vegetables and tofu were perfectly cooked as well. However, I am giving it a three-star review due to the additional charges for substitutions. I was surprised to find extra fees on my bill for swapping chicken for tofu and rice for noodles, as well as a charge for paying with a card. With a 15% tip included, I ended up paying $57 for lunch for two, which I felt was too much considering the cleanliness of the restaurant and the overall experience. I believe I could have had a better dining experience at a higher-end establishment for the same price.

I had a bad experience at this restaurant. It took about 25 minutes for our lunch to be served after we ordered, and the portion size was small. I ordered the Cashew Nut Chicken, which was tasty but not very filling. I asked for more rice since it only came with a small amount, but after waiting another 10 minutes, I gave up. When I asked to pay, they tried to charge me for the extra rice that never came, but they removed it from the bill when I pointed it out. To make matters worse, they added a credit card fee at the last minute without mentioning it beforehand. I love Thai food and have been to many restaurants across the country, but I would never go back to this one. It was a disappointing experience.

I hadn't been to this restaurant since becoming vegan, so I was unsure of my options. We asked about modifications (currently not available due to Covid-19), and the woman working there, Aly, was very helpful and assured us that the chef was able to make any dish vegan. I ordered the drunken noodles with tofu and they were delicious. We also tried the roti, which was a small portion but also very tasty. I can't wait to return and try more items from their menu.
