El Paso Tapas in Wijk 05 Geleen

Delicious tapas, friendly service, good wine

Had another super delicious meal 😋 and a different menu than a while ago.

We had a delicious meal...everything is equally tasty and of good quality.

What a worthless place. The food really wasn't worth any praise.

Went out for dinner for the first time, but certainly not the last. Cozy restaurant, friendly staff, and delicious food. The service is really top-notch 👌

Every other restaurant is a Michelin-starred restaurant compared to this one. This is really not recommended. You’d be better off going to a chip shop and getting a few bites there. They will taste better.

Last week, I visited El Paso in Geleen for the first time. I enjoyed some delicious tapas and tried out a variety of dishes. It's a nice little restaurant, but what immediately struck me in a positive way was the staff. Many restaurants could learn a thing or two from them. They knew exactly what they were doing and were super friendly and helpful. It was also nice to be able to look into the open kitchen. Top notch! Keep up the good work!

We had dinner here today, just the two of us. The concept is really nice. You can choose 2 tapas from the menu per round. The snacks are all very tasty. The service was friendly. My wife accidentally knocked over her glass of sangria. It was cleaned up immediately and she received a new glass of sangria right away. We finished the evening with a very unique and delicious dessert and a cup of coffee. It was definitely worth repeating. Highly recommended 👍

Had a tasty meal, friendly service, nice location

What a lovely location! Tastefully decorated, nice with the open kitchen. Friendly service; a slightly older woman explained to us how the concept works. For the rest of the evening, there was one young man serving the food—what great service! The selection is extensive, the sangria is delicious, and the dishes taste wonderful. You receive a mint with the bill in a really nice way. We were pleasantly surprised!

Had a delicious meal in a pleasant setting with extremely friendly and helpful service.

We had a wonderful meal! The tapas were all flavorful, freshly prepared, and beautifully presented. There was a wide selection, and everything we tasted was excellent. We didn't like one tapas dish as much, though: the chicken gyros. It could have been a bit spicier. But tastes differ. We didn't mention this. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome immediately. Additionally, the restaurant is tastefully decorated and exudes a warm, cozy ambiance. A perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal together, even with children. We will definitely be back and can wholeheartedly recommend this tapas restaurant! 🍷🍤🫒✨

We had a delicious meal. Portions were good. Everything was incredibly fresh. Friendly service. We will definitely be back!

Nice, fresh new place with an open kitchen. Small dishes (tapas), plenty of choice, freshly prepared, and nicely presented plates. It's a shame that almost everything tastes like the truffle mayonnaise because of it. A minor detail, but otherwise we had a delicious meal. The service is very good.

Really friendly staff, really delicious food, nicely seasoned, could come back here every week 🙏🏻 tummy nicely filled again

We had a fantastic evening. The food was delicious, and the service was prompt and super friendly. We highly recommend them and the four of us will definitely be back! Congratulations to the whole team!

A surprise! Never been here before. We were a group of 8 people. Enjoyed it from start to finish! Delicious food, very varied! Friendly staff and the owner is genuinely involved with his customers. Highly recommended!

Yesterday we went here for tapas for the first time, and I think this is a really top-notch restaurant; everything is made fresh, and you can watch in the kitchen. Friendly and cozy atmosphere!

Had a delicious meal. Friendly service, calm, relaxed atmosphere. Nice pace at which the dishes arrived. Something for everyone: meat, fish, vegetarian. Nice beer on tap. We will definitely be back. Miranda.

Had a delicious meal in a relaxed atmosphere. Varied selection of delicious appetizers. Didn't get anything I didn't like. Quiet and excellent service; we looked into the kitchen where a calm atmosphere prevailed. It was perfect and we will definitely be back.

We went there for dinner; it was quite good. We had been there a few times before, but it's a shame that many dishes are no longer on the menu. And we felt that the staff walked past us an extreme amount. Otherwise, fine.

Pretty good stuff! I wish this was in my city so i dont need to drive so far to taste greatness!

Overall, it's fine, nothing special. Definitely overpriced! They're adding parsley everywhere for color. I forgot my order three times and had to wait a long time. In between, I had to wait a long time for a new order. It was all a bit chaotic, causing a bit of panic. The chef even helped clear the table after a waitress disappeared. In an open kitchen, you can see everything. The chef wipes snot on his nose without washing his hands afterward, coughs into his hand without washing it. People wear long fake nails in the kitchen. Overall, it was clean. The ice cream was ready-made from a container, the fruit from a can. The coffee served with the ice cream was a can of ready-made Douwe Egberts iced coffee. The puree was microwaved in a container.

Super delicious food and a cozy atmosphere

The food was delicious and the service was great!

Cozy restaurant with delicious food. Friendly and enthusiastic staff. Service that many could learn from.

The food is good overall. There are some tasty dishes and a few not-so-tasty ones. Something for everyone. The service is friendly, but very slow. I've read in previous reviews that it seems like they're trying to stall with the rounds. One improvement would be for the server to actively visit all tables to collect coasters. Especially considering the price, you'd expect better service, which has increased by 50% in the last two years.

We had a truly wonderful evening today. These people know what they're doing. The food was perfect. The service was too, and the seating is wonderful. I do have one small point for improvement, though: a wheelchair service—a service that takes you back to your car in a wheelchair because walking becomes difficult due to the fact you're bound to eat too much. In short, this wasn't our last time.

Always delicious food, we come here regularly and it's always delicious and friendly, super service and super owners, definitely recommended if you want to eat well and take the time to relax, definitely recommended!!

Good and cozy The service and atmosphere were great.

I really enjoyed it! Excellent service, explanation, friendly staff, top-notch! A wonderful experience! Lots of choices, beautiful presentation, taste, etc. Highly recommended. Greetings from Geleen.

Wonderful atmosphere, a beautiful and clean restaurant with an open kitchen, and friendly staff. The food was truly exceptional, served directly from the kitchen with delicious flavors. Highly recommended. I go out to eat with my mother every year, and this was the most delicious outing ever. Truly delicious slow food. Sometimes you have to wait, but then you know they're taking their time preparing your meal.

Very friendly service and delicious food. Thank you.

The food was delicious. The service was poor. They deliberately didn't include the coaster. When I asked about it, they reacted vaguely and said they'd send a colleague. The next colleague said the same, and so on. It seemed like they were stalling for time to cut down on the dishes. A unique concept!

First time at the new location, lovely ambiance, delicious food, and friendly staff. The food remains consistently good.

Good food and a cozy atmosphere with pleasant service

We booked on the advice of friends. It was a family gathering and we had a great time chatting between courses. Beautiful place, very friendly and correct service and a varied menu. As a former restaurateur I can only say: delicious! Recommended!

Cozy evening with delicious tapas

Great restaurant, delicious food and super friendly staff

Had a great evening, great tapas, very nice place and super service.

Price and quality were not in proportion. The first two dishes were very salty. Food came, probably, mostly from the freezer. Yesterday ate at La Boca in Roermond. Not comparable to El Paso. Food was very good there.

Had a nice evening out. Delicious food. Wide choice of dishes. Friendly staff. Price/quality is good.

11062025: five of us ate at El Paso for the first time. Friendly service, clear menu in the form of a placemat. You can fill in the order, 2 dishes per person, on a form and pass it on, after which the kitchen brigade gets to work. And the conclusion we drew? Very positive, good taste!

Cozy and attractive place. Very friendly staff. We come here regularly. The non-alcoholic cocktails are great. Food is always good, has never disappointed. See you soon! ❤️

Tonight I went to dinner with a group of 10 people for my 60th birthday. In a word, AMAZING. Delicious dishes Atmospheric affair Friendly staff. My tip to everyone is Just Do It.

We went to El Paso for dinner with about 20 people. Great service, friendly staff and delicious food. Difficult to choose from all those delicious tapas. Highly recommended, we will definitely come back!

Delicious food, delicious tapas, what lovely people, really good service A very nice thing

The experience was, in a word, 'amazing'. The food was tasty, the choice varied, and the staff was also incredibly friendly. In my opinion, what sets this place apart from many other all-you-can-eat restaurants is the design. There was enough space in the positioning of the tables, which makes it possible to have conversations with each other without much background noise. An ideal restaurant to spend a pleasant evening. I'll definitely be back!

In one word, GOOD, cozy place, nice live music, very good food. Definitely recommended if you want to spend an evening having a nice meal, drinks and dinner

Cosy, good food, good service, nice live music, in short, the perfect place to have a relaxed and enjoyable meal

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a new restaurant so much. Beautifully inviting interior, friendly Dutch staff, the food was delicious and the ambiance excellent. After explanation it turns out to be a real family restaurant. True to tradition for my friends, we were the last to leave. You will see me again with my family. Cheers.

Had a great meal yesterday! How sweet, kind and hospitable these people are. Our 3 year old daughter also enjoyed it. We received a delicious ice cream and delicious tapas. Steak with chimichurri was our favorite!

The food was good, but I left feeling disrespected—if not outright scammed. We arrived at 8 PM and were told the kitchen couldn’t handle specific orders, so we had to choose a set menu. No one explained what the set menu included or how much it cost. When we couldn’t finish the food and declined additional dishes, no one mentioned we’d still be charged for the food we didn’t receive. A considerate approach would’ve been to at least ask if we wanted the food packed to go. Instead, we were handed a bill and expected to pay in full. On top of that, some of us ordered tea. After finishing my first cup, I asked for a simple water refill instead of more tea. Instead, I was served another tea without any warning it would cost extra. I had made it clear I didn’t want water if I’d still be charged for the tea, but the charge appeared on the bill anyway—along with a 3-euro fee for every water refill. If the manager had taken a moment to communicate, I would’ve declined. The lack of transparency and courtesy was frustrating and disappointing. This wasn’t about the money—it’s about respect. As consumers, we have the right to know what we’re paying for and make informed choices. Imagine being in our shoes—isn’t it unsettling to dine somewhere and feel forced to accept whatever they serve and charge, even if you decline?

Had dinner here for the first time last week. Nicely decorated place. Nice concept. We arrived quite late/had made a reservation last. Eating tapas is unlimited for 2.5 hours. But I was only able to order 1 dish in the 1st hour and was served. We said something about this then. This was well picked up. Afterwards the dishes went much faster and we had a delicious meal. Beautifully presented plates and the quality of the tapas was really tasty! And that for an excellent price. We will definitely come back, just a little earlier in the evening.

What a wonderful restaurant!! The decoration, atmosphere, everything was perfect!! Staff super nice and personal contact, and the food is really next level!! Compliments

We were able to celebrate our wedding on a staff outing in El Paso. You feel the vibe of a family business, customer-friendly, proactive, accommodating and of course delicious food! You contributed to an unforgettable day, Thank you! Joe&Simone

Delicious food! Highly recommended. Fresh dishes and an open kitchen. Service is very good and friendly.

Food is good, but it takes a while before your tapas choice ticket is picked up. On the other hand, they are not very strict with the 2.5 hour limit. Definitely going back here, it was great.

Delicious food. Pleasant staff.

We are in favor of tapas dishes. And then El Paso is a restaurant where we can go for a pleasant evening full of delicacies. The Mediterranean cuisine has something for everyone. I think the price-quality ratio is very good. In addition, the restaurant has good and friendly staff and you will not be short of anything here. The menu changes regularly, which ensures that you can always try something new and not get bored. Sometimes it's a shame that a delicious dish disappears, but a lot of delicious food comes back in return. Tip: try the risotto, few restaurants serve it as it should be, with bite!

Atmosphere and food are always great!

Delicious food, beautiful decor, friendly and fast service. Lots of variety in fish and meat.

Good food, cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Food was tasty, but unfortunately you could only order 3 rounds in 2.5 hours, which you can reserve. Desserts are not included in the all-in price and you have to pay extra for them.

Delicious food in a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere. Not too big, which makes it a reverb tank, so it's really great.

Delicious hot tapas and tasty sangria with 43, friendly staff, really enjoyed it, will definitely come back soon

Lovely as always! Great service and people. Go to for tapas.

Yesterday we had a delicious meal again and enjoyed it here with my partner. A cozy place with pleasant background music. The choice is really generous and the dishes are great!! 👌 We already went regularly, but they will continue to see us here 😊

Delicious food with fresh products! Really full-fledged tappas!! 👍🏻

Delicious food, very friendly service and kitchen staff! We will definitely come again!

Unfortunately NOT RECOMMENDED anymore. We have eaten at El Paso several times with great satisfaction, but the last two times the dishes were very disappointing. The tasty dishes had been replaced by tasteless cheap dishes. We were really surprised how bad the food was and when we made a comment about it we were told in a strange tone that people had never heard this before. Strange, because later we were told by a number of people that they had experienced the same thing. Too bad, but we will look for another restaurant to eat tapas because we go to the snack bar for cheap snacks.

Food looks like it has been puked on and the menu contains spelling errors And food takes a long time before you get it. The atmosphere is good

We have been eating at El Paso since the beginning. It has never been disappointing. The staff always makes time for a chat. We really enjoy coming there. It's tasty, cozy and not an instant pain in the ass.

We've had a wonderful evening twice now. Food is very good, you can taste that it is freshly prepared. The atmosphere is great, friendly service.

Went to El Paso for dinner tonight with 6 people, never been there before. Definitely worth it. Friendly explanation of how it works and delicious food. Enough choice of everything. We will definitely come back again.

Delicious food and good service

Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable service

Another delicious meal at El Paso. Varied menu, food is tasty, good and friendly service, in short, perfect for a night out

We had to wait a long time before we got anything, the lady behind the drinks didn't dare to look at you, afraid that you wanted to order something, too bad. So we went home early.

Cozy restaurant, friendly staff and good service. Certainly not an "all you can eat" (.....) barn. I can't say anything about the price. I don't know prices, but quality is good. Will definitely come back again.

Super friendly staff and delicious food.

Delicious dinner tonight. Super fun thing.

Nice varied menu, friendly owners. Good atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Christmas update; thank you again for all the goodies we ate on Christmas Day, again no comment on the service, ambiance and food. We were now 8 adults and 3 kids. Everything was excellent again. The sweet potato fries are highly recommended and should remain on the menu for us. All I can say is; Until next time What a fantastic experience. Until next time Now time for an edit. Been twice now and still fantastic and delicious dishes. Great again tonight. I don't agree with some of the bad reviews (they must be competitors) All dishes were top notch again and the minced meat was delicious and loosely fried.

Good and tasty food with tasty drinks. Exudes a friendly atmosphere.

I once wrote deliciously and with love. That has only increased. At that new location with a captain in the kitchen who understands what good food is and a lady in the restaurant who has an overview as if she were an Eiffel tower (figuratively), this is one of the recommendations for Limburg! Reservations are recommended because everyone wants El Paso!

A dinner with the team made the atmosphere super cozy. This restaurant is therefore very suitable for dining with a group. Many different tapas served at the table. Tasty sangria in a carafe enough for 4 glasses. The tapas were tasty, even though some could use a little more flavor. Unfortunately the yellow melon was not ripe. We had a delicious meal and really enjoyed the atmosphere.

Heerlijk gegeten met een groep van 10pers. Iedereen was erg enthousiast over het lekkere en gevarieerde aanbod. De borden waren netjes en mooi opgemaakt. Het oog wil ook wat. De tapas werden in goed tempo aangevoerd. De bediening was attend en vriendelijk. De cocktails zijn zeker een aanrader. De ambiance was ook erg gezellig en we konden goed met elkaar een gesprek voeren. Al met al...een super geslaagde avond. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.

Nice place to have in Geleen, worth a try. We liked it

De bediening mag eens een cursus gaan volgen. Hoe ga ik om met grapjes van klanten en hoe kan ik normaal bedienen. Schijnbaar was een grapje van ons groepje in het verkeerde keelgat geschoten bij het personeel. Daarna werd ons eten zowel als ons drinken letterlijk op de tafel gekwakt. Het eten was goed, de aankleding is gezellig. Ik was hier graag terug gekomen. Maar om een gezellige avond te laten verpesten door het personeel daar dank ik voor. Dus mensen als je er eten gaat let op uw woorden anders wordt het eten je op de tafel gegooid.

Leuke sfeer lekker eten goed op smaak en vriendelijk personeel! Ronduit in het totaal plaatje een genot om te gaan eten!

Vandaag wederom heerlijk gegeten! Mooie kaart, voor ieder wat wils. Vriendelijk personeel en sfeervolle zaak. Één van onze absolute favoriete restaurants!

Voor onze eerste huwelijksjaar hebben wij gekozen om lekker te eten. Wat waren wij verrast door de leuke locatie. Gelukkig was de kaart en de kwaliteit van het eten niet veranderd. Wederom een zeer fijne avond mogen beleven.

Vandaag weer een fantastische avond gehad. Alle gerechten waren heerlijk. We blijven terug komen zowiezo met kerst. En beterschap suzanne

We waren voor de eerste keer daar. Er was al service tijdens het reserveren ivm de tijd. Ze lieten weten hoe laat de grootste bulk aan mensen kwam en als we dat voor konden zijn, waren we in ieder geval al aan het eten. Een hartelijk ontvangst, vervolgens lieten we weten dat 1 kind een (sporen van) noten en pinda allergie heeft. In alle rust heeft hij items op de menukaart doorgestreept. De rest van de avond zeer vriendelijke service, we hebben heerlijk gegeten en komen graag terug!

Wij hebben heerlijk gegeten!! Geen massaproductie zoals de meeste all you can eat. De kwaliteit van het eten is ontzettend goed!!. De sfeer is geweldig en ontzettend aardige mensen in de bediening. Hier gaan wij vaker terugkomen!! Bedankt voor de gezellige avond!!

Blijft voor herhaling vatbaar. Altijd een fijne gezellige sfeer en heerlijk eten 😉

Zaterdag 11-9 heerlijke tapas gegeten !! Bediening was ook super! Voor herhaling vatbaar! Ellen van Gilst-Huls

Ontzettend gezellig restaurantje, leuke sfeer, zeer vriendelijk personeel die moeite doet om het een leuke ervaring te maken en goed eten. Betreft de recente 1-sterren reviews; dit is allemaal van accounts met een dubbele naam zoals "Max max". Ik denk dat de reviews nep zijn, om de eigenaar van het restaurantje te pesten. Onzin dus!! Het was uitstekend! Gewoon gaan!
