Tara Thai Cuisine

Fantastic little date night spot on the corner of Cinci and Mesa. Sitting is limited so there could be wait if you're there during peak hours. Food is 100% worth the wait. Pad Thai was extremely flavorful and our crispy chicken was actually crispy! Highly recommend.

If you are looking for AUTHENTIC and DELICIOUS Thai food, this is the BEST El Paso has to offer. If you are looking to experience quality Thai dishes, look no further; the chef is from Thailand, and she brings the taste from The Land of 1,000 Smiles right to your table. The service is superb and the staff makes you feel like family. One of the waitresses, Dream, is from Thailand and she will give you quality service that you would expect from her homeland. If you need advice on what to order, let Dream be your guide. They are known for thier Pad Thai, which I love, but my ultimate favorite is the Thai Street Style Chicken Basil; also, substitute the chicken for ground pork and you won't be disappointed. To finish off your meal, try the mango sticky rice for dessert, If you ever wanted to visit Thailand, this wonderful restaurant is your quick ticket to Thai quality food and excellent Thai service. Enjoy!! UPDATE: Just tried a new dish that Chef will be putting on their menu, soon. For you seafood lovers, try a native Thai favorite: Pad Pong Karee (Stir-Fried Seafood with Curry Powder). This dish has shrimp, calamari, mussels and plenty of vegetables that combines savory, spicy, and aromatic, making it a classic favorite in Thailand. It was absolutely delicious. If seafood is not your cup of tea, try asking for chicken or pork, instead. I bet Chef will not disappoint you. The service, like always, is top tier. If you have any question on this dish or any other Thai dishes, ask Dream. Not only is she from Thailand, but she will also show you what Thai hospitality is all about. Tara Thai not only offers delicious and authentic Thai food, but they also offer quality service that will make your dining experience a pleasant one that you will want to go back and experience, again.

this would be great thai food in california, so obviously it’s the best thai food in el paso. the green curry in particular is phenomenal.

To echo the sentiments of so many other people, the food is great. The service is trash. Idk if they're flying the dishes from Thailand or what. We waited over an hour for curry and soup. When the food arrived, it was great. Don't come here hungry, because you will get hangry before your food arrives.

So good! It did take a while to arrive since it was full and only two waiters for what I could see. So worth it! We had the pineapple curry, pad see ew with beef and Thai street style chicken! They were all delicious. To rank them: 1. The noodles with beef 2. Thai chicken 3. Pineapple curry

1st visit (Sep 2025): it’s largely occupied and we waited 50+ mins to get our dishes. 2nd visit (Oct 2025): this time the experience was so much better. We went on Tuesday and I guess there’s no table waiting before us, so we got the dishes in a reasonable time. Thai street-style basil chicken is still my favorite. Besides, our server this time was also nice and helpful.

Great experience once again! Very attentive and charismatic staff. The food was great, my favorite was the Thai fried rice, it had a unique flavor and was delicious. We ordered everything to share which made it 10 times better.
