The prices are about the same as the McDonalds across from them. So if you are gonna pay for overpriced airport food might as well make it authentic. I actually liked this place! I ordered the chicken nachos and was pleasnatly surprised at how much food I recieved, and it also tasted very good. I even got reactions from people passing by me like "whoa!" I think they were just as surprised as I was.
The only downside and why I didn't give 5 starts is due to the seating avaiablility. I sat on a little curb right under a menu sign not realizing I could have just went to the gate area and ate there. Aparently you can eat in that area. -

my sister and I go the worst food poisoning here 2 days ago!! do not eat here!! Tried to call there # several times. someone picks up but never answers. You can hear voices in the background. What a crappy way to run a business and make people sick.

Let's say you normally drink margaritas made from top shelf tequila, grand marnier or other alcohol, as well as natural juice, such as lime. But then, because it's been a long day you don't think twice about ordering an overpriced margarita at El Paseo to go with your sub-par enchiladas.
If this is your situation, upon trying to drink the margarita you will be hit by the overpowering sweetness that only bad triple sec can give and you won't even taste the little bit of bad tequila that's in the drink. You'll gobble down your food, which includes some decent guacamole (hence the one star) just to get the cloyingly sweet taste out of your mouth. You'll consider buying a shot of Patron just to get over the whole debacle but now your coworker is looking at you like you're some sort of high maintenance freak as you look longingly back over at the bar. So you will grudgingly give up and just wait for your flight.
Or at least that's what happened to me. -

Located at the international terminal at LAX-- just walk on by..... Overpriced and underwhelming! It's my fault, should've known better.

I really don't mind paying at the airport.
It's just something I've come to accept, beers are going to be $6, cocktails $8 and complete meals probably closer to $10.
But at least I usually get what I pay for. When I throw down $7 for a bottle of Sam Adams, I know I'm getting Sam Adams. When I throw down $11 for a shitty martini, I know that even though it may taste a little off, I'm getting booze.
Not so at El Paseo Cafe. I ordered the burrito especial with carne asada, which came in at around $10. I figured I'd be gorging myself on a large burrito which would feature a cornucopia of ingredients given that it was "especial" and at least a few dollars more expensive than the other choices. Boy was I wrong. Never mind that it took nearly 15 minutes to prepared, the burrito was literally a tortilla with meat and beans, about the size of two taquitos glued together. he tortilla was absolutely giant and I laughed upon discovering this. This is what I waited for? I guess it tasted fine, or about as good as beans and seasoned over-cooked chunks of meat can taste. I am firmly anti-McDonalds, but if I knew this is what I was going to get eating at El Paseo Cafe, I would've gladly taken 15 steps to the left and eaten at McDismal's.
