Basico Bistro Cafe in El Paso

My top 5 places to eat in El Paso, the burgers are great!

I have to say I love coming here every time! I specially love breakfast and whenever we get a chance we come in for brunch on weekends and their menu even though is not huge has high quality well thought of plates. It’s not cheap but the quality is well worth it (and I’m picky ) so having said that the waiters are very well trained which for me is a huge plus ! Very courteous and respectful ( I would even say old style which we don’t see that very often nowadays. Lunch menu is very good too! I love their salads and being able to add protein of choice which is always very nicely prepared and presented! So keep up the good work!

This place is amazing! The pricing is good for what you get the portions are really good! The food is unique in flavor and very well presented! We came here by accident and absolutely loved the modern vibe and calm fun music!! Definitely a must try in El Paso downtown!

Delicious food and good service. The Baja Tacos are great! I plan to return here to try different dishes.

This was my 1st visit to this restaurant.I wanted the Grilled Artichoke but they were out. I then ordered the French Onion soup but they were out of that too. Chicken Wings? Yup, out!So this review is not based on the quality of the food but the lack of food.

Indulged in some of the best Chilaquiles I've ever tasted, and I've had a few! Great atmosphere, and the best company just seem to go so well together here. Salúd!

Great atmosphere, service, coffee and food!

Service was fantastic, our waiter Humberto took really good care of us and our drinks never went empty ( someone give him a raise he was wonderful) Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely loved the unlimited drinks for brunch. Will be coming back again!!!

Such a cool little spot! Love the patio outside, great atmosphere, awesome food!

The food here is amazingly delicious!!! The service isn't bad either. Highly recommended.

Has a nice atmosphere. Foods pretty good quality as well.

Ordered fish and chips, very nice but portion size was a bit small. Still hungry. ☹

Pizza, fish and chips and chicken were excellent. Service is not lightning fast, but your wait is worthwhile. Absolutely on point cuisine. Google says $$ but, really, it’s more like $$$. However, you get what you pay for and I was 100% satisfied with the food. Vibe is relaxed/cool. I loved it. Staff could be a smidge more on their toes. Will return if the opportunity presents itself.

Not the same breakfast was boring had better plates before

Will Most Definitely Return Everyday. I would rate 5 stars instead of 4.2 I loved I love I will love

Okay but too small and zero scenery.

One of my fav locations for quality american food. Super place to meet and chat with coworkers. Service is typically above par. Menu is similar to a restaurant in Jacksonville I loved.

I'm going to start this off saying all the negative reviews about this place are from people who want to complain about something great. I went in with my family and we got top notch service by all the servers and staff there! We couldn't tell who our server was because we had everyone cater and check up on us, team work here is by far on point. We went in for the $5 burger night on Mondays and let me tell you... all 8 of us wiped our plates CLEAN. Everyone at my table agreed that this place has the best burgers in town!! The bun on the burger was surprisingly NOT FILLING, which is a huge plus!! I didn't feel all bloated from the carbs for the buns melt perfectly in your mouth. Happy to say I had enough room for those delicious fries. Can't wait to go in for Taco Tuesdays! Mouth watering food is served and made here!!

We Had the BBQ Tower Burger and the Beer Battered Fish-n-Chips, both with the truffle fries. The fries were perfect and the Burger was bangin. The fish was fried and coated well but was missing flavor. Some Old Bat seasonings would have set it off. All in all a good meal. The cocktail menu can use some brightening up but it was serviceable. Nice outside atmosphere with a view of the mountains was the best. I'm sure I'll return.

Worse GM called Anthony one person goes apply and lies about our interview u asked me if I knew how to made soups I answered honestly which I do and u asked about the temps from the meats which I know as well used to be an executive chef line cook sous chef u name it could have been honest and tell me you didn’t wanna give me the job instead of lying next time be a man about it in tell me I’m my face and not behind my back have more than 10 years of experience and have a degree on it from Scottsdale cordon blue

Still Good. Try the Salmon Omelet !

excellent service, great food.

Great place for lunch or Dinner.

great service, kind waiters, and fantastic food a great place sit a chat or have a good time would totally recommend to my friends and family

Good food and decent service. I enjoy the chicken paillard. Onion rings are good too. Breakfast/brunch is a go to. Nice atmosphere buy I wouldn't recommend it for children. Serve drinks and espresso. Don't go if you are in a hurry. Sérvice is attentive but not fast.

I can not get enough of this place, everything tastes amazing to me, chilaquiles with egg and chicken, to die for! French toast yummy! French press...let’s do this!

FOR NOW.....stumbled across it last week. Late breakfast. Ordered the STEAK & EGGS. Eggs done exactly the way i ordered them (over easy). The STEAK part was great!! ACTUAL THICK STEAK (10 oz.) Cooked perfect as i asked (medium-rare) and was very tasty. Some times you can get a flavorless CHEAP steak. It was also served with 2 pancakes. I was stuffed when i was done....cost about $16...a tad pricey for El Paso's love of cheap food...BUT I BELIEVE IN QUALITY - NOT quantity. The only down side was that the severs where a bit slow for the time...there was only 4 other tables there at the time...with 2 servers...look forward to going again. First time was great....i am hoping the next visit will be as well.

Every dish you take is amazing. Really good flavor

I enjoyed this for a small breakfast with good conversation.

american food and service here is quality. cool place to meet and catch up with coworkers. this place has a great design.

Chilaquiles excellent, coffee was the best! I had a good time.

Excellent food for starters. I've eaten here a couple of times and every time I go I am always impressed with quality, presentation, and service. Very clean and modern atmosphere with a very pleasant and professional wait staff.I had The bbq burger and it was very good. Portions are large and price is very reasonable. Would recommend for casual or business lunch and or dinner. They also have a large variety of options for salads as well. 👍 thank you Basico, I will be back!

Excellent service and phenomenal food!

The food is ok, but it seems like everytime im here the service is crazy slow and someones meal always is wrong. I'm not sure if they dont have enough staff or what it is. The food is decent, but I dont think its worth the experience/price, especially with so many other awesome burger places in town.

The place is nice, but I was expecting the food to taste better based on the prices. We waited for at least 30 minutes to get our food even though it wasn't very busy and we only ordered a salad and some waffles. The portions were good, but they need to work on giving their food more flavor.

The menu is full of yummy surprises. And the service was speedy and very helpful with recommendations.

Enjoyable, relaxing setting. Great customer service. Delicious food. Highly recommend.

Tuna tostadas were the only fresh item on the money. All the entrees we ordered smelled stale and had a refrigerator-y taste.

Waited too long for our food, to get refills, dessert. The prices are high for the food quality. We have to stuck our plates and another waiter took them out of our way, waited too long to be ask for a drink refill and to be ask for a dessert. The brownie was burned it looked like i was eating a hard cookie with ice cream and the cheesecake was okay. Never going there again.

First let me say the service staff was great and deserves 5 Stars. But my food was just ok. I had the fish tacos. The fish was cooked perfect just small portions. The tacos were overloaded with the cabbage & shredded carrots. I would not recommend this dish.

The menu is simple, prices are on the higher side, and taste is good. The variety of beverages is limited. As the name implies, it's a good place for brunch but maybe not so for a full-on meal so expect smaller portions. If the day allows, sit outside to enjoy the view.

Cute little Bistro in the office building. Love the decorations and the patio. Went for breakfast had the House Migas which were delicious! Breakfast menu has a lot of options!

Soy Carmel wings are to die for! Best wings I have had in El Paso by far! Great fresh food and we'll worth the cost!

Super cute place. Great food. Food took a little long to be ready but that's because they are actually cooking it and making it from scratch and you can taste the authenticity, it's amazing.

We went here for Sunday brunch... waited 15 mins for our table, 20+ mins for mimosas, after that another 10-15 mins for a coffee... over a hour for food that ended up being cold and then 10 minutes with the food in front of us without silverware. Once we noticed the food was cold we hit our breaking point and told them we were going to leave without eating. Definitely needs a management revamp. Or something.

Everything is delicious and service is great!

I've been to the westside location and liked it so thought this place would be great too. When we arrived at 11 am on a Saturday. The place was not too busy (they had plenty of tables and bar area completely empty). We waited a few minutes for someone to come and seat us. There were like 10 tables dirty so they had to clean one to accommodate us. We ordered right away...and then the wait began. I ordered pancakes and my bf ordered migas. Other tables were sat around us and 42 minutes later we were still waiting on pancakes and what is just potatoes and eggs mixed with chorizo. A table that ordered burgers after us got their food. A table that ordered fish tacos after us got their food. We couldn't even enjoy our food after waiting 45 minutes for breakfast items. Nobody addressed this absurd wait for our food so....it just shows that this place would rather their guests leave disappointed. We ate our food in like 10 minutes and left to try and salvage the rest of our time in downtown.

Small little restaurant with a nice patio. We went with a large party of 10 and the staff managed well despite only having one waiter there. The food was good, the salads ordered by some in our party looked especially good.

The best service I have gotten in a while! And the food was MORE THAN AMAZING! It was my first time and I got the Steak and Eggs, OH MY GOODNESS! It was so juicy and tender! It exceeded my expectations!

Came here 3 years ago during a road trip through Texas and loved it, came back today and it was still just as good. Excellent service, very attentive. We had the avocado toast duo and the greek croissant. Both were delicious. Would highly recommend this place!! Wish we were in town longer so we could try dinner!
