Mac's Downtown

Mac’s is what I call REALLY Dog friendly, allowing well behaved leashed pups to dine IN at certain tables. What a neighborhood jewel, family owned/run serving up really tasty Cajun/Seafood dishes. We had a nice little 2 top where the staff promptly brought over a water dish for our girls. We ordered a shrimp cocktail, blackened cod fish tacos and the Mahi entree. The food was delicious, prices so reasonable and the service/friendliness of the staff was truly gold standard. Save room for the cheesecake which is a must, we did the Hawaiian cheesecake and it was scrumptious! If we lived here in El Paso, we would hands down be regulars. Nice selection of beer and the whole vibe of the place is really eclectic… nice casual meets homey and artsy? Well done Mac’s!

Atmosphere is nice but overall it was just okay for our visit. Ordered the blackened cod tacos, the lobster Mac and cheese, and the bread putting. The tacos were fine. The Mac and cheese was mid. It was too runny. The platting is not great. It should be in some form or ramekin and baked a little. For the price at least. The bread putting was good but I could've done without the chocolate chips. Service was not just okay.

This is a great downtown spot! Even on a Wednesday evening, the service and food were both exceptional, and the prices were reasonable. I had a cup of great gumbo and then the combo plate of blackened fish, shrimp, and chicken. The seasoning was spicy in a fantastic way! I highly recommend. I didn't give 5 stars for atmosphere only because there's not really any parking since it's downtown. There are pay for parking spots not too far away. You should definitely try this place!

I hate to admit that I haven’t been here for about a year. However, I went in yesterday for an early dinner (Saturday, 2/21:26, 4:45ish pm) and had the BEST time! Great food! But let’s discuss service: I’m a very seasoned server and bartender, these guys were on it! My iced tea was never less than half full. My server, I’m sorry for not remembering your name, was on it! Tabasco for the best clam chowder in town? Yes please! Would you like a knife for the most awesome po-boy ever? No thank you, but thanks for thinking of it:-)! This is without a doubt becoming my after work dinner spot on Saturdays! Go visti, you won’t be disappointed! Shout out for the atmosphere.

First time here to celebrate my brother's bday. Food good, service great. Selections of only beer & wine, ok. Wished for a variety of liquor but a spot to try for sure!
