   All the dishes were cold, including the steak. The bread was essentially frozen in the middle. Hardly ever had water and they barely got that service right with the main course. Lack of a dessert menu was disappointing. Drinks were fine. Taste was on point, just cold. Ambiance was lovely.

   From the moment I walked in, the service was excellent. The staff was warm, polite, and created a welcoming atmosphere with a great vibe. The ambiance was pristine and well-maintained, adding to the overall experience. While the food was just okay, everything else made for a pleasant visit. Overall, a great experience!

   The Taft Diaz was an absolutely beautiful little spot with fantastic service. The cocktails were also good (though somewhat overpriced, particularly their “elevated” cocktails). We got the pork meatballs to start, and they were incredible!! They also served house made ciabatta bread, which was also delicious. We should’ve stopped there. 😬 For our entrees, I got the Chilean sea bass (for almost $60). The fish was overcooked; I couldn’t simply slice it with a fork. The risotto it came with was undercooked rice; not at all a creamy risotto. My husband got the lobster spaghetti, and on the menu it says “half a Maine lobster” with angel hair. It was, in actuality, 2 small lobster claws served with what looked (and tasted) more like a buckwheat soba noodle… all in all, the service and appetizer were good, but we were very disappointed with the main entrees, especially at that price point.

   Our server Eva help create a friendly and personable experience. We have the signature corn and truffle soup along with the Caesar salad for starters. The dry aged New York strip was cooked to perfection with an excellent crusted outer char. Dessert we enjoyed a refreshing strawberry sorbet. This place is worth a stop if you happen to be in El Paso, Texas.

   Very nice place and the service was good, but the food was not good. Lobster Spaghetti was bland! Very disappointing. The sauce was watery and yes very salty. The addition of caviar is the reason for the saltiness. The New York dried age was very underwhelming as well. No flavor. The fries were ok besides a few raw ones. Only thing that we liked besides the bread was the octopus chicharrón. My recommendation is to skip this one and go try Casa Pantera. Same price range but the food there is an OMG moment in every bite🤤.

   While the ribeye and mashed potatoes were outstanding, the pasta was very underwhelming. It was "wet" and had no flavor even though it was supposed to have some kind of cheese. Felt the food was underwhelming for the price paid. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself was very clean, although the music was a bit too loud and it was hard to talk to someone.

   The food was over seasoned, asked for medium burger got well done. Pink = medium greay = cooked. We were the first to sit down and we were the last to be helped. Will not recommend or go back especially for the price I paid for 2 burgers and kids chicken tenders

   Did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was super delish. For the first time in a long time I was "wowed"by every bite. Had the ribeye steak and omg it was so good. Cooked to perfection w an incredible crust on it. Best and most flavorful steak I've had in quite a while. Been to several steak places around town and this was by far the best. Definitely worth the money. We then ordered the Mac and cheese. Let me tell you this was no ordinary mac n cheese. This was next level. I would definitely have this again, even as a solo meal, it was that good. Best Mac n cheese ever and I'm not that big a fan but this was definitely worth it. Had an amazing date night. The atmosphere was perfect. Great spot for any occasion. Will be going back for sure.

    Always a wonderful meal at Taft Diaz. Wife had Duck entree and it was delicious. I had the lobster spaghetti and also truly great. Truffles were added at our request and made it even better. Special appetizer/entree menu with Australian wagyu options, so had the tartare and it was an excellent starter. Oscar, our waiter was phenomenal and we look forward to our next meal.
