El Paso in Oberhausen

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

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

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

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 🌸🌸🌸

Our regular restaurant Extremely satisfied with the food. It always tastes delicious and the service is also great.

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..

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.

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.

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..

Unfortunately, El Paso is abolishing itself at the moment 😪! Everything has been 98% perfect for 30 years! But being turned away as regular guests when there wasn't much going on is bitter! Ok, there are staff shortages everywhere, but I think with a little improvisation that would have been possible. It's a shame that the "boys" are no longer there! With their attentiveness and warmth, they always made the guests feel welcome. Which unfortunately wasn't the case recently thanks to the temporary workers! I somehow grew up there too and really hope that you get the hang of it!

Reserved for today, stood in front of the front doors, felt like we were being watched from the restaurant as we talked to neighbors.

Very poor service and quality of food. Too bad

Were there today at 3:30 p.m. It wasn't the first time, but there's a reason for that. The food was really delicious and the host was friendly and accommodating as usual. Had a cordon bleu style steak, which was cooked almost perfectly. Always my pleasure. The ambience is very cozy, thanks to the many beautiful brick arches. If you plan a visit during lunchtime, I recommend reserving a table at this time, as the restaurant is then very empty and you don't find yourself standing in front of a locked door, as some people have described here. Otherwise great!

We have been happy to be on the podium for decades and are always satisfied. I was shocked to realize that I have never written a review!

Based on recommendations, we wanted to eat at El Paso today (Friday). Lt. Homepage Opening hours continuously from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., except Wednesdays. No sooner said than done. When we got there at 4:30 p.m. we found that the El Paso seemed to be closed. However, no reference to this. Even on the menus posted at the restaurant there is a note saying “open all day from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.” Another family stood just as perplexed in front of the blinds that were drawn and the interior lights on. We then decided to go to another restaurant in the neighboring town. It's a shame El Paso...We would have loved to eat with you. But unfortunately this attempt was the first and at the same time the last for us. We will no longer drive the 20 km to you in Oberhausen. PS: With such a clear and well-structured homepage, it should be easy to adjust the opening times. And a notice at the restaurant as well. Therefore unfortunately only 1 star.

Too bad they don't speak English

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

We've been there for the fourth time now and we still think it's nice. I had a skewer of "Budapest" pork fillet on a skewer from the grill with gypsy sauce, fries and salad. The food was simply brilliant. Super tender and great seasoning. 👍 The staff was very friendly and attentive despite it being quite fully booked today. It's better to make a reservation for the weekend. The prices are okay, you can't complain. Unfortunately there is no parking space at the restaurant. The only thing that helps is searching and luck. There's only one thing I can say: "We'll definitely be back."

Had dinner again after a long time and it was still as good as before.

Very tasty and friendly service

A very good restaurant, I can only recommend it.

Very cozy and delicious food!!!

The selection on the menu is very large, as are the portions, and the food was really tasty. The staff are very attentive, polite and helpful.

A very warm and welcoming atmosphere with fantastic food.

Good value, good fresh honest food, always make a foreigner welcome.

Very tasty food with portions to fill you up. We've enjoyed eating here for years!

Was there again after a long time. I remembered it better than it did for me now. Maybe it was just better before, or I've become picky. Food was ok but not a burner for me.

We dined there for my friend's birthday and the service was really excellent. There is a salad buffet there. I think it's good that everyone can choose what they like. The main course and coffee were excellent. I can really recommend it if you want to celebrate a birthday with the family.

The menus are very varied and tasty. The staff is very nice and professional. We had above-average portion sizes, which is why we unfortunately couldn't manage dessert - but we'll definitely make up for it 😊 I'm looking forward to the next time 😊

Unfortunately some of the food was cold or burnt. Service OK. For the price, if I had paid it I would be upset.

Unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly, in the past we always ate there once a week before our gambling evening, now unfortunately we have been disappointed twice in a row, the Cevapcici were tasteless and not properly cooked, the Raznjici had a meat quality of 10 Score a 2. The rice wasn't fluffy but a kind of lump. Small conclusion, despite the fact that nothing has been changed in the interior design for more than 20 years, but that is not the deciding factor BUT the food has become significantly worse, we will, for better or for worse, look for another restaurant. very unfortunate!

Great quaint restaurant with a great ambience, nice staff and the food was excellent. There is a large selection of food and drinks and the price/performance ratio is also good. Absolutely recommended 👍🏻

All in all quite okay. Menu very meat-heavy.

We were there on July 27th. there for the second time, this time with 4 people. It was again a very warm welcome, the service was top and the food anyway. Thank you.

Very cozy, tasty and inexpensive!

Everything was great, but the seasoning could have been a little better And Pomerania partly swam in fat still

We have been coming here occasionally for years and have never been disappointed.

We have been guests for over 15 years. The service is great, the food is always hot and tasty. The lunch menu is highly recommended for those on a smaller budget. GLG to the team

The service is ALWAYS friendly and considerate at all times, no matter how many guests there are! 👍 Orders are brought to the customer quickly, ensuring that all guests sitting at the table receive their order at the same time. Great importance is also placed on ensuring that guests with empty glasses do not have to wait long for a new drink. In my opinion, the prices for food and drinks are extremely reasonable! There is nothing to complain about in terms of taste! The plates are lavishly filled and beautifully presented. 😊 In my opinion, this restaurant deserves the 1st place in Oberhausen! 🥇 Best regards, Patti

Good location. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Recommended.

Good toilet, had diarrhea of ​​death👍

Old Yugoslavian, Croatian Slovenian cuisine. Large portions but everything like it was 40 years ago. Unfortunately! Nothing new

Stable shop, everything is very pleasant, service is fast, all wishes are taken into account, all dishes are well crafted and taste great. Clear recommendation!

Friendly staff. Price and performance are okay. Very good cuisine.

Good food and price-performance ratio, reasonably sized portions

Very pleasant and cozy, very friendly.

Food tastes very good, staff very friendly and nicely decorated. Can only be recommended.

Once come burger good once bad I have never understood why

Best Wiener Schnitzel in Town Big Portions that will fill up the hungriest. Top service and atmosphere I can highly recommend to give it a visit. Top notch

Friendly service, lunch, several meals to choose from and the price is okay.

Service and service were very friendly, the food we ordered tasted very good.

Good tasty food. 😋 very nice staff. I recommend the lunch menu, here you can save a few euros for good food.

Were there again for a family celebration. And as always, everything was top. The food was wonderful. The service was great. The prices were reasonable. We always feel very comfortable. Even for the very young guests, nothing was left to be desired. Thank you, see you next time .

Old-established restaurant with friendly service and good quality food.

Simply always good. You can't go wrong there. But many people know this, so make a reservation in advance.

Very large portion. Delicious . Especially sauces and appetizers. Service very accommodating.

Very good food and service. We recommend. Ambience a bit old-fashioned.

Extensive menu, delicious salad bar, but sullen service and very noisy.

Good food at a good price. However, too few staff and service takes too long. Waiting for over an hour before asking for drinks or food again is simply too long. And it's far too warm in the rooms.

As always everything is fine...

Have been customers at this restaurant for a long time and are absolutely thrilled. We now had a family celebration with 33 people and were not disappointed again. Food came quickly, portions were large, service was great again and the price was great. All in all a successful evening. Thank you very much, highly recommended.

Highly recommended👍 I always enjoy eating there again👍 everything is perfect 👍

Stylish, elegant ambience, very friendly welcome and service. My steak was medium rare and exactly how a good steak from a good home should be. There is a salad bar where you can choose the salad according to your own taste. So sustainable, no salad will end up in the trash just as decoration on the edge of the plate. I like this idea. Price / offer: Very good. We paid €62 for two people. Top. Thank you again for a pleasant evening with you.

Extensive map. Something for everyone. Really tasty. We will be back. Greetings Mike and Sarah

Food good, price good and the whole thing

Very good food, a friendly boss and nice staff

If you are in the area, it's a must visit! Great steak and beer everytime! The waiters are very attentive and always keep the glasses full! Great prices for the portions and quality! You can also pay by card, some places in the area are cash only.

It was the second time for lunch, the food was very good, the service was very friendly and attentive, the portions were decent and the price-performance ratio was simply great. 👍Highly recommended.

My favorite Balkan restaurant in Oberhausen. It's always very tasty, the selection is very diverse and the steaks are always exactly how you want them. The atmosphere is very familiar. A top recommendation.

Had a very tasty dinner. Nice friendly and good service.

Very good food, first of all. Seeing us as Spaniards, they placed us in a remote area of ​​the restaurant where there was no one, the menu does not include dessert (even though it appears) or perhaps they did not want to put it on us. They just charged us €7.5 for a bottle of water. They don't even do that to you in the center of Madrid.

Everything is delicious in El Paso and the fillet steak is the best...

Long-established El Paso, reliable, clean, friendly, great ambience, the food is always top at a fair price

Quick order to eat through Pomeranians not crispy not through Salad perfect

Price fair, performance great...keep it up!

We were invited here for dinner last Saturday. When we arrived we first had to queue outside because it was packed. When we finally got inside, the waiter greeted us warmly and showed us to our reserved table. After we ordered the drinks, we looked at the menu. We ordered the house pan “El Paso” twice, once cordon bleu and the fourth dish was some kind of meat with mushrooms. I don’t remember exactly. I, for one, was looking forward to the house pan. Because according to the menu it should have the following ingredients: chicken breast fillet, turkey medallion, Pork fillet, fried egg, French beans, fried potatoes and Béarnaise sauce. You could put together your own salad at the salad bar. Even though the restaurant was practically full, the food came quickly. However, the house pan we ordered was not a pan, but rather the individual components were arranged on a plate. Which is of course a disappointment from a purely visual point of view, because a pan really looks great. While eating it turned out that there were only a small amount of princess beans and that underneath the princess beans there were beans from the jar or can. You can see in the photo, because not only the color is different, but even more so the taste. In addition, the Béarnaise sauce was completely missing. By the way, this applies to both "pans" we ordered. But we only noticed that the sauce was missing when we were almost finished. That's why we didn't order any more. The meat was well seasoned, the fried potatoes and fried egg were fine. The others had nothing to complain about with their dishes. All in all, it was a lovely two hours and at €96 for four people, including drinks, it was pretty good value too. We will definitely come back. We were here today, January 31st, 2023, to try out the lunch menu. To put it bluntly, we were both very satisfied. Not only was the price/performance ratio right, but the food was also extremely good and very tasty. I had the mixed grill plate for €10.50 and my companion had the turkey medallion with mushrooms for €11.30. If you consider that there was a spicy white bean soup beforehand and delicious cream quark with raspberry sauce as dessert, then you ask yourself how that is possible at the price asked? Great 👍 Salad was also included. It won't be your last visit, because when the food is so delicious and the price is so cheap, you'd be stupid not to come back! Were here for lunch today, February 27, 2023. Was like always. So super good. My companion had a minced steak with ham, fried egg and fried potatoes, for 9€ and I had Indian pork fillet, with curry sauce, various fruits, and Djuwec rice for 10€, that's what I call: "Inexpensive"!

The name sounds Spanish, but it is a Croatian restaurant. Very good meat at very good prices.
