Overall Jaxon's is the best restaurant to eat! They have great tortilla soup in town! Awesome Quesadillas! And the Mesa Verde is out of this world! Great Customer service!!! They are number 1 in my book!
I was visiting El Paso, and being a beer enthusiast I was looking forward to Jaxon's for a few months. I always enjoy getting to try a new brew. When my wife, friends, and I got there we were greeted warmly and promptly then seated. This is where the problems began. We ordered a round of the beer sampler, it took about ten minutes for the beer to get to the table, and when it arrived it was only half of our order. We waited about another ten minutes for the other half of them. Twenty minutes to get a beer is not good service.
As far as food goes it was hit or miss. We ordered the nachos along with chips and salsa both were good but nothing more than that. My wife had a salad which she enjoyed. A friend had a steak which was overcooked and dry. I had the ribs which were nothing more than bone and fat, I thought I was on an Easter Egg hunt for meat. We both commented that we thought we were back at an Army DFAC after having the food.
Our Service was average sometimes the waiter was prompt and friendly, others we waited long periods for service. The beer was average. The red was dry and had a sharp hopps flavor more like an IPA, and void of any traditional characteristics of a red beer. The stout was low on flavor, and bordered on flavored brown water taste. On the other hand the brown ale was very well done. After the sampler I had a few more of these. I also tried my friends light which was also very good. Overall I might be spoiled being from Milwaukee, but the beer at Jaxon's was largely disappointing aside from a few exceptions.
I've been to Jaxon's several times and have been very pleased. The food is good and I really enjoy the beers they make. I've tried a lot of beers from microbreweries, and Jaxon's is up there with the best.
