El Paso in Oberhausen

Delicious mixed grill. Super tender meat, well-prepared, with a wide selection of salads included. There were also plenty of dessert options, ranging from small to larger portions. Friendly service, and we were able to get in without a reservation.

Good restaurant with good food. Great ambiance. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.

Delicious food Large portions Very friendly service

Great food, very generous portions. Absolutely delicious. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended. The ambiance is wonderful with stone arches. Excellent service.

Incredibly bad service!!! I have never experienced such an unfriendly and rude waitress in a restaurant as I did here. I used to come here quite often for the good meat, but after today, NEVER AGAIN!!!! The disrespect was beyond belief… I'm truly speechless.

Friendly staff. Good value for money. The food was really good and plentiful. Highly recommended.

The food was plentiful and very tasty. Prices are perfectly reasonable! There could have been more to drink, though.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Used to be great – now disappointing!! We were regulars at El Paso am Treppchen in Oberhausen for a long time. The food used to be truly excellent and the service superb – especially thanks to our regular waiter. Unfortunately, the quality has declined significantly in recent months. Our last visit on October 30, 2025, was a complete disaster: • The steak I ordered medium arrived completely raw. • My girlfriend's baked beef fillet with crab didn't contain a single crab. When we pointed this out, the waitress politely took the plates back. Shortly afterward, however, the owner came and told us in an unfriendly tone that there had indeed been crab on the plate – which was simply not true. My steak then arrived again – this time well-done, but clearly the same piece that I had already cut into. Absolutely unacceptable from a hygiene standpoint. The rice, which was supposed to be part of the dish, wasn't served until about 20 minutes later – and was then half-raw. Neither an apology nor a price reduction was offered. Overall, the food was disappointing, the service was overwhelmed, and the atmosphere was unpleasant. Conclusion: Formerly one of our favorite restaurants – unfortunately, we can no longer recommend it.

We had a two-hour delivery window, which we all agreed to. Then one meal was forgotten and only brought after everyone else had finished. And then to refuse a drink order 25 minutes before the time was up was especially rude! I could have made the frozen food myself for a third of the price. You've lost regular customers!

We had reserved a table for 5 pm and arrived at 4:45 pm. Unfortunately, the service that evening was disappointing. It wasn't until about 5:30 pm that anyone inquired about our drinks. The waitress (a woman with long, platinum blonde hair) came to the table without greeting us. As a customer, I politely said, "Good evening," to which she, after a brief hesitation, simply replied, "Good evening, ma'am." Later, she mentioned that she was very busy in the back room—which I can understand, but the service shouldn't suffer as a result. Empty glasses were ignored, and my husband had to go to the bar himself to order drinks. The same behavior was observed at another table with several people. The food was truly delicious and the portions were generous, but the inattentive and unfriendly service unfortunately marred the otherwise positive impression.

The food was delicious, the meat was good. The service was mediocre. Definitely recommended.

Super delicious 😋 the staff friendly 😊 I feel super comfortable, the food is really good super good

There were four of us there today – unfortunately, it was a disappointment from start to finish. My crab dish was hardly worth the money: the crab was tiny and there was only a homeopathic amount. The rice also arrived about 10 minutes later. We ordered the steak "medium," but it was served almost raw. After we complained, they apparently just put it back on the grill – the result was a tough, shoe-like steak. Overall, very disappointing – neither the quality nor the service was satisfactory. It's a shame, we really had higher expectations.

Very very very friendly.....food damn good and tasty, would gladly come back....only with the drinks it worked very slowly but what the heck

We ate there today. Onion schnitzel with fried potatoes. The fried potatoes weren't crispy, there were no onions in them, and the taste wasn't good. The onions in the schnitzel weren't fried properly either. They used to be much better.

Celebrated a big birthday with 25 people. Everything went smoothly. The food was very good and delicious.

A very large selection of good food. Plenty of space. The dishes are the right size. The only thing I think could have been a bit more attentive is the service.

Good lunch, large selection at very reasonable prices.

It was OK. The team was super nice and handled difficult guests very well.

We went to El Paso for lunch after a long time and were very disappointed. Even though we had a reservation, we were left standing at the door for a long time. The service was disastrous compared to before: We waited forever for drinks, our food order, and the food. The waitress was unfriendly, only brought a new glass after repeated requests, and despite a lengthy conversation, was unable to accommodate a requested change to the meal. It's a shame, because we used to enjoy eating there. But we won't be eating there again. Even the cheap lunch prices don't help.

After a long time, we ate here at Treppchen again. The current prices were quite shocking. I paid €19.90 for my meatloaf with feta cheese (which was served almost raw). Almost €20 for ground meat (the grilled meat was €1 cheaper). Furthermore, the meatloaf (Balkan steak) had a very firm texture. It was too tough for me. The garlic sauce wasn't seasoned at all. Overall, it was a waste of money today. We won't be visiting this restaurant again anytime soon. What a shame!

Drinks took 45 minutes. Otherwise, you're ignored. I recommend you go somewhere else for dinner! This place is no longer worth a visit!

Review of the El Paso restaurant at Treppchen, Oberhausen We visited this restaurant and found the price-performance ratio completely out of proportion. Particularly annoying was the surcharge for just 50g more steak per person – a whopping €9 extra! This is disproportionate and feels like a rip-off. Receipt List: Drinks (€26.70): • Still mineral water 0.25 l: €2.70 • 2x Melzbier 0.4 l: €8.00 • 4x Krefelder 0.4 l: €16.00 Dishes (€162.10): • 2x Chanterelle Fillet Steak: €69.00 • 1x Pork Loin: €21.90 • 1x Rump Steak "Alt Deutsch": €31.50 • 2x Various Dishes (additional cost): €18.00 • 1x Nutcracker Dessert: €6.90 • 1x Black Forest Dessert: €6.90 • 1x Two Pancakes with Jam & Chocolate: €7.90 Total: €188.80 (of which food alone cost €162.10) ⸻ Points of criticism: 1. Steak surcharge: For just 50g more meat, they charged €9 per person. This is completely unjustified – neither in terms of quality nor quantity. 2. General price level: • A fillet steak with chanterelle mushrooms for €34.50 is already on the high side, but the additional surcharge policy makes it completely excessive. • Even simple desserts like pancakes with jam and chocolate cost €7.90. ⸻ Conclusion: The food tasted okay, but the price is completely excessive, and the calculation is opaque. The surcharge for just 50g of steak is particularly outrageous and borders on rip-off. Rating: 2/5 stars – just about acceptable for the taste, but absolutely poor value for money.

We went there on a recommendation, but we couldn't understand why! The food was rather mediocre, but the prices were top-notch! There was a 9 euro surcharge for a 50g fillet steak (the menu says 5 euros). When we asked, the response was rude!

We went there spontaneously and got a table right away – on a Friday evening, which really surprised me given the quality. The ambiance is fantastic, and the staff very friendly. I had the fillet steak medium rare, and it was simply amazing! Perfectly prepared, with a great flavor. I would go back anytime and can absolutely recommend it.

We were at El Paso on Sunday. The parking situation is terrible. The decor is typical of a Croatian restaurant. The service was pleasant, but a bit overwhelmed. I had to ask for a vase several times. The food—sirloin steak in pepper sauce—was good. The prices were reasonable. There's also a lunch menu on Sundays.

Had a quick meal because nothing else was open

Delicious food. Great value and generous portions. You can hardly leave here hungry!

We've been there several times. Last night, we celebrated my father's birthday there with eight people. It took 45 minutes for us to get our drinks. The Jellner never even came to our table. After a long wait for the food, one order was wrong, two meals were cold, and two meals arrived half an hour later than the others. The fries were soggy and the food was barely seasoned. We won't be back.

We stopped in spontaneously. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. The price/performance ratio was excellent, which is unfortunately rare. Next time we're in town, this will be a permanent address. Highly recommended.

Where have the friendly waiters gone? And the salad buffet deserves something new instead of the same old thing.

Simply delicious! I especially loved the salad buffet! The service is also excellent, and we love coming back here again and again!

The greatest guest experiment. We know that the two hour waiting brings unexpected service and food that really surprised us🤮🤮🤮. The only question: Will the owner rescue the person who is nearly die caused by hungry here.

Even in these difficult times, it was nice to be there. The people there are very nice and child-friendly, and the food is great! The fillet steak is buttery soft and well-seasoned; highly recommended. And the kids' portions are huge (the 9-year-old managed it 😁 the little one (3) didn't...) We'd love to come back 🤗 Wow, it's been 5 years since the last review. Actually, everything's the same as it was back then, the kids are just eating up now 😂

I also went to El Paso for lunch for the first time on Saturday. A great atmosphere, excellent service, and a huge lunch portion. I'll definitely be back! Thank you!

I've been a regular for about 25 years. Except for minor, unnoticeable issues, the experience has always been top-notch. I'm here on average every two weeks.

I'm thrilled and would come back again and again - the food is delicious and the service is great!

Delicious food. Attentive and fast service.

Never have we had that much food ever. The gourmet platter for two people was enough for at least 4. You will not leave hungry!

Simply good, delicious, and affordable too. I'd go there again anytime. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere, very friendly service. We were all very happy with the food, and some of us had to take some home with us—the portions were large. ;)

Great service. The food came very quickly and was delicious. The portions were generous, too. I'd be happy to go again.

The food was highly recommended, the portions average, and the ambiance pleasant. I would have appreciated a bit more professionalism, motivation, and a friendly smile from the staff upon entering the restaurant. Unfortunately, during my entire stay after placing my main order, the waiter never came to ask about my order or whether I was satisfied. I would have liked to order another drink, but no one came. I also personally found the way the table was cleared, even though someone hadn't finished eating, to be unprofessional. However, it should be noted that the waiter asked, but already had a plate in his hand—who would say "no" in a situation like that?

The lunch menu is excellent in terms of quality and price.

Good value for money, cozy restaurant, large menu, food was excellent

A fantastic steakhouse with excellent value for money! The portions are more than generous, and the food tastes simply fantastic. The meat was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. We were particularly impressed by the friendly and attentive service team: you feel welcome and well looked after from the very beginning. Whether it's a cozy dinner for two or a convivial evening with friends, every visit is worthwhile. The steakhouse impresses across the board and is highly recommended. We would love to come back!

This was our first time at El Paso and we were thrilled! The food was delicious and the value for money was also good. Nice and friendly staff! If we come back for a concert, we'll definitely eat there again. 😁

We're from Heidelberg, and it was delicious and lovely with you. Thank you again! 😊💪🏽

We were here on a Sunday at 12:00 PM and had reserved a table, but it wasn't absolutely necessary since the restaurant was empty. We opted for a grilled asparagus platter for two and were not disappointed. There was plenty of asparagus, potatoes, sauce, and plenty of meat. The service was unobtrusive and friendly, and overall, I would eat here again anytime. A clear recommendation.

Very tasty food. Large portions. Good service! Also suitable for families with children; there are special children's dishes.

Always happy to come back Large portions and very tasty

The food was good, the service seemed a bit listless

A place to feel good. Just go there and empathize.

It was somehow uncomfortable. We were not served friendly 😔 After what felt like 10 minutes I gave in asked about the menu. Because the person in charge Waiter ignored us. Then we got them Menu. He didn't ask what do you want Drink? Until he took the order It took what felt like an eternity. The drinks were carelessly put in front of us. ETC In the end there was no friendly Goodbye. Even though I tipped 4:70.

The best steak shop in Oberhausen. Before I eat a steak at The ASH, I prefer to come to El Paso. The taste is unique and I have been there many times and never been disappointed. The chefs do a very good job and you can see that in the food. 👍🏼

As always, the food was great, tasted great, was hot and also visually very appealing. As a regular customer for years, I wonder what happened to the very good service and friendliness?! Unfortunately no longer hospitable and accommodating at all. That's why I was there as a guest for the last time today. Very unfortunate.

We were there for the first time for a birthday. The service was very attentive. The food was great. Overall, a very successful afternoon and evening. Absolutely recommended! We would definitely like to come back!

The El Paso (in the podium) is a good steakhouse with a lot of choice outside of steaks. Here steaks are served in 3 variations of fried. English, Medium or Through. No in-between, you get what you order. It is recommended to reserve a table. Portions are filling and you get a salad with every steak dish, which you can get yourself or have it brought to you if you wish.

Very unfriendly waiter, didn't get the food we ordered, was verbally very aggressive when reported

One of the best restaurants. The quantity you offer for the price in 2025 was amazing. The dishes were awesome. The complementary soup and salad already fills your stomach before the main dish comes. Great service I would recommend visiting this place with group of people to eat more 😅

Fresh and well-prepared food, friendly staff and the price-performance ratio is also right. Oh, and the schnitzels are, contrary to what some people write here, not frozen goods. You quickly notice this if you simply order a Jägerschnitzel and a Viennese style schnitzel; the former is fried, while the latter is fried to perfection in fat (so that the breading is crispy and airy at the same time). Not possible with frozen goods.

Today we visited this restaurant for the first time with our family. The atmosphere is very cozy, the service is first class. The food is very tasty, everything is fresh and the portions are huge. Thank you for your service)

As always it was great. Delicious food and very nice service!! We would love to come back 👍👍👍

Recommended! Very nice people, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food. There's nothing to complain about!

Excellent restaurant, clean and tidy, good food, good staff, to be praised.

Food was good as usual, staff attentive and friendly, although extremely understaffed

I just think you're not one of the regulars If we are deliberately ignored because of this, we will never be You felt really annoying Ordered something to drink and the place wasn't full You weren't even served despite having a reservation I then went to the counter to order myself, but they followed this common thread from start to finish, it would simply be beyond the scope to list everything The fact is that you do something like this once but definitely not twice We will not visit this restaurant again Thank God they are not the only restaurant in Oberhausen and if you think you don't need it then it is. 3 adults 1 child 176 EUR. We didn't feel that it was a small price for this service, it was really crazy, you should have actually gotten up and left

What happened to this restaurant where we used to like to go often?! The service is subpar, you are simply ignored, you wait forever, you don't get any soup or dessert at lunch, only after complaining and with a stupid comment and you have to go to the front on your own to pay and order because you are simply ignored. The boss is totally unfriendly and is condescending and snotty even though his service is a disaster and you waited 45 minutes just for drinks! The staff also changed completely, probably not without reason. It's a real shame because the food is great, but with this level of hospitality we will only go to the competition where you are treated and served much better and the food tastes just as good. At lunch, if it goes on for half an hour, you are ignored as a guest until the time is up and then you have to order from the normal menu. If you then comment, you will be told that the food is no longer available... you simply don't feel welcome here anymore!

Simply fantastic! Not only was the food incredibly tasty, but the portions were also generous - no one goes home hungry here. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, so we felt completely at home. A real highlight in the area! Clear recommendation, we would love to come back!

Delicious food, humorous, lovable boss. Fair price! What more could you want! Absolutely recommended!

Good food at fair prices. A paradise for meat lovers.

What can I say, everything is just great, there is nothing to complain about in every respect

Good food. Portions are more than sufficient. The boss and the staff are always friendly. I've been there several times and it's always been good. I always enjoy coming there.

Spent the weekend in Oberhausen. Stopped here spontaneously for dinner on a Friday evening. The food was really very tasty. The steaks were well done and very tender. The schnitzel was frozen but tasted good. As has been noted in many reviews, the service was quite cool and could improve. All in all, you can have a good meal here at fair prices.

Didn't reserve a table for 2 people! No greeting from the basement from anyone! Tried our luck. Since there were enough tables available around 6 p.m., we were looked at condescendingly and told we couldn't do that! Ridiculous! As a couple, we will never enter this store again. We enjoyed coming here back then, the team was super friendly and the owner always tried hard, but unfortunately that's no longer the case! Luckily, Oberhausen city center offers other options where the ambience and service are top notch. Never again.

Was there again yesterday for ages, the prices are super fair and the food was great, we'd love to come back :)

Went for lunch and the menu came straight away. After 30 minutes the waiter saw us by chance because he went outside. That is an absolute minus.

Super tasty and fresh, great service, gladly again 🌸🌸🌸

The food there is really very tasty. I would be happy to give it 10 stars because the prices are not too expensive but just perfect. The ambience is also somewhat ok. Unfortunately I have to be honest about the service and I only give it 1 point. Based on what I experienced there with my husband, I can only say that if you are a foreigner, and by that I mean whether you are an Arab or an African, I would not recommend this restaurant. You don't feel comfortable there and we noticed that at the reception. The bartender or waiter went straight to the boss when he saw us come in. You could directly feel the cold and cool atmosphere. He directed us to a very strange place. This one star went to the waiter who was friendly and took care of us straight away We cared. My husband then generously gave him a tip of 5 euros. The boss was much more open and warm with the German customers and regular customers. We also saw this at the reception when German or regular customers came in directly. He laughed with them and went several times to those at the table to ask how the food tasted and whether they were happy with everything. They just walked past us. Sometime after dinner we decided to leave. Even when we said goodbye, the boss didn't even look at us. But as soon as the Germans got up to say goodbye, he grinned with them and told them goodbye and how happy I would be to see them again. My husband and I will definitely not go there again. There will definitely not be a return to this restaurant

Cozy restaurant with good food.

For the reader in a hurry: food very tasty - service poor. For the reader with time, I would like to write something from my heart: Reserved a table for 2 people by phone at lunchtime on Saturday for 6:30 p.m. Slightly cold counterpart on the phone. Arrived on time, our first time in El Paso. Again, a very cold and arrogant reception from the only older waiter of the evening, who led us to the table. Table away, with a bit of a cat table feel. The waiter immediately left instead of taking at least one drink order straight away. Waited 20 minutes then waved at the older waiter to place an order. He waved back friendly and came about 10 minutes later to take the order for drinks, appetizers and main courses. Note: My friend ordered the pepper fillet a size larger, from 200 g to 250 g. While the waiter was taking our order, regular customers appeared behind us, who were warmly greeted by him and received their drinks 5 minutes later. After another 20 minutes, said waiter came to us with two wrong main courses; Fortunately, we noticed that we hadn't had any drinks or appetizers yet and left in surprise. My buddy was hungry, thirsty and nervous. 10 minutes later our starters arrived, another 5 minutes later our drinks finally arrived, one of which was also wrong but was replaced immediately. My buddy was getting a little aggro by now. After about another 30 minutes a younger waiter came with our main courses. We asked him if you had to take the salad yourself, as some guests did, but some also had their salad served to them. He said he would be happy to bring us the salad and we asked him for it. We didn't see the salad again that evening. My buddy stopped talking. We finished eating. Starters and main courses were admittedly very good; Although I was quite surprised that when I asked to swap the baked potato on my steak plate for croquettes, I was only served the "huge" sum of 4 croquettes. We wanted to pay, the younger waiter came with the bill and I noticed the item "Various dishes" for €10.50. I asked him what that was. He went to the counter to the older waiter, came back and explained that it was for my buddy's larger steak. My friend almost finally burst and said that the difference in the steaks according to the menu was only €5 and not €10.50. I told him I was happy to invite him because I just wanted to get out. I asked the waiter why he didn't bring us the salad. He then grinned broadly and shrugged his shoulders. I generously rounded up the bill of €99.80 to €100 and was glad that my friend didn't bite the tablecloth in anger. I give it two overall points because the food was really good and the atmosphere was quite cozy. The service was the biggest disaster of my restaurant experiences. It's a shame about the potential of the house. Neifer, Haus Wessels & Co. can do all of this much better.

Very tasty food, beautiful ambience..

I would like to point out positively that we spontaneously got a table for 4 people for Saturday evening at 7 p.m. Unfortunately the service was extremely poor. We only got our starter soup after over an hour. During this time we received a single drink. The waiters didn't even look at us. When we asked if we could order something else to drink, after a while only half was brought. I asked again where the drink I had ordered was, and the drink was delivered about 15 minutes later without any communication. To eat: I had the club steak 550gr with fries. Unfortunately the quality was anything but good. Between the bones and the edge of the fat, the meat had thick, fatty tendons running through it, so you couldn't cut out a normal piece. Effectively not 150g of edible meat + wobbly tasteless small fries. A second star only because my wife and children's food was okay... but nothing more. As usual, we didn't ask if everything was okay or if we would like something to drink, so we paid straight away and left disappointed. 135 euros for 2 small beers, 4 small cola, 3 starter soups, a Viennese style schnitzel, grill plate, fillet pot with rice and an inedible steak + waiters who don't pay attention to you... 1x and never again. We like to eat out often, but for the money we expect a waiter to smile and pay attention.

So today we were here with 9 people, advance reservation for 2 p.m., actually to eat here. At 2:30 p.m. we received a menu and drinks were taken. At 3pm we still had no drinks. I politely asked whether our drinks were ready or had been forgotten. Statement from waiter. It's gone. Then asked again if the drinks were ready. If not we would leave like this. Answer from the waiter. A shrug. So we left again at 3:15 p.m. with no drinks and no food. I am very disappointed. Even if there is a shortage of staff, I think the situation has been taken care of by the Cellar incorrectly regulated. We've eaten here several times but I've never received such incompetent service. Or not served. For us it is clear that we will no longer visit the restaurant.

We ate there on New Year's Eve (reservations are recommended on such days). My friend had the mixed lamb plate and was absolutely thrilled. I had a fillet steak. Every (!) bite is a perfect treat! I can't remember eating such a perfect piece of meat in years. A poem!!!

There is always room for improvement, hence 4*. We are pleased that the restaurant was so well attended before the Christmas holidays. We have always had the best advice here and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Had our Christmas dinner with our family today. Even though it was very busy we felt immediately welcome. Our food was simply great and the service was very nice. Always happy 😊 thank you very much

What can I say? Food has always been good for 30 years, no complaints, always friendly service and simply cheap prices, but the most important thing is that it keeps tasting like this and thank you very much

Bad service, staff bad and rude!

Price/performance overpriced. Fl. still water €7.80 Food taste, nothing special and very expensive. Service poor. To pay, the guest must go to the checkout and pay. Wrong, more expensive food billed. El Paso, never again.

Cozy restaurant. Food was great. Nice service.

Very tasty food. Beautiful restaurant with all its own niches. Ordered steaks and schnitzel, very good. The downside is that we had to wait a very long time. But the food made up for it.

We were actually regular guests by now, unfortunately probably for the last time, there were five of us in the restaurant, two of us had a grill plate for two people, one fillet of beef was extremely overcooked, the rest of the food was okay, only the rotten meat was one of them The smell passed us by that we were no longer hungry. The waiter's first reaction was: "It's just beef." He cleared the table, came back later and apologized. Unfortunately, we were also charged the full price. Of course, that can happen sometimes, but it shouldn't actually happen, and we are also disappointed with the behavior.

We've eaten there again for a while, and that was the last time! Not worth the money

Always happy to go there for over 40 years!

Very busy restaurant at lunchtime. Delicious meals with starter soup and dessert at a reasonable price. Meat or fish, it doesn't matter, it tastes very good.

Incredibly good vegetarian food! Good beer and a nice pleasant atmosphere

Oct 2024 Unfortunately the restaurant had to... close at short notice if staff are absent due to illness. On the one hand, we wish you a speedy recovery and, on the other hand, that we will see each other again soon. I think we can consider ourselves regular customers. Well, we wouldn't be that if we didn't like it here. Price - performance are unbeatable!! Oh yes - don't forget the fact that the boss and his crew are super nice and accommodating!!

Went there 3 weeks ago to break the habit!!!!! Absolutely dead fried fish ("crispy salmon fillet", indefinable other fish, the re-ordered side dish was practically served as a dessert, grilled plate tough! Fully charged for when checking out, zero discount, no apology. That's it!!!!!!!!

The day before yesterday we made reservations for this evening at 8 o'clock for 11 people and the shop was closed. Edit: at least write some information on the door and don't turn off the light when we knock..
