Walking into Andale Mexican Restaurant, feels like you are stepping into The Mexican Wonderland. Immediately upon entering, "La Pareja" (the couple) greet you at the door, along with the staff. The restaurant is covered with bright colors & culture, and feels like Abuela's (Grandma) kitchen. This restaurant reminds me of those authentic Mexican Restaurant from across the border, right down to the bar. This is where we settled in for a nightcap, after a stressful day. The bar is somewhat separated from the rest, as you make your way through the swing bar doors. The bar compliments the theme of the restaurant, along with some specialty drinks. The drinks are called Mangoliadas, and in short it's a frozen drink (different flavors) made with Tequila and topped with frozen popsicles (flavor matched, non-alcoholic popsicle) and with a WOW factor, it's on fire, literally. The drink was the perfect combo of buzz and fun, you must try one, the bartender was cool, fun and most importantly, fast.

It’s been a while since I wrote a review. This place was everything! The atmosphere is wonderful. I really came to hear live music and they did not disappoint. I had the trio seafood tostadas. It was delicious. The jalapeno margarita was strong but it needed more spice. The service was outstanding. I enjoyed the overall experience. I definitely will be back.

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! The food is so good. The environment is amazing with Mexican design and live music. The live performance was really loud tho, I wish the volume could get down a little bit. The price is really reasonable! I highly recommend the fried seafood plate appetizer. This is a must-try if you visit El Paso! Love it!

What a fun, picturesque, and delicious place to go eat. The service was amazing. They were packed solid, but our waitress, Anastasia,did not miss a bit. She was very friendly, and her service was outstanding. Our food came out in good time, and I have no words to describe how delicious it was. True Mexican food, and this is coming from someone who was raised in Mexico. I seriously enjoyed it. The ambiance was so much fun. They had someone singing in the bar and another at the restaurant area. They both had great voices. The restaurant itself is so picturesque. I love how it's decorated with all those loud Mexican colors. Truly Mexican culture, even the bathrooms. It really represents traditional Mexican culture. I really appreciated Cesar, the manager, stopping by our table to check on us,especially because they were so busy. I truly recommend Andale, a great Mexican restaurant with a very friendly family atmosphere .

This place was busy, great entertainment. The food was OK. I ordered the nachos and it was kind of weird. They were flat with cheese and steak. Our server was young. Maybe that’s why she wasn’t. great with service.
