October 16, 1909-For the first time in their country’s history, American President William H. Taft and Mexican President Porfirio Díaz met for a summit in the El Paso-Juarez border; the land commonly known as El Chamizal. Flags were lowered and the borderland remained neutral territory.

A traditional, conservative luncheon was hosted by President Taft at the El Paso Chamber of Commerce followed by an opulent dinner served and presented by President Díaz in the Old Federal Customs building in Juarez. Private discussions were had and agreements were made.

TAFT DÍAZ serves as a testament that great things can flourish when you welcome others at your table.

The food was less than stellar. I don’t do very spicy, so I always ask, the waitress stated it wasn’t spicy, I’ve had places that will provide me with a taste of the chili sauce and I forgot to ask, that would have helped tremendously. It’s a lovely place I would give them another chance.

Brunch Burger was flavorless. The chilaquiles were dry. The service was slow for only 2 occupied tables in the restaurant.

Delicious food at a reasonable price. Oscar, my server, took great care of me the entire time. Very attentive and knowledgeable. Tonight I tried their take on a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and was not disappointed.

Excellent service, nice wine list. We had excellent cocktails and inventive, delicious appetizers. My wife enjoyed her entree of the “catch of the day”. I ordered the steak, and although cooked well, it was very over-salted… a disappointment to what was otherwise a delightful dinner.

I read great reviews of this restaurant and had high expectations. We ordered the octopus chicharon and scallop tostada for appetizers and the NY steak for dinner. I expected the chicharon to be more flavorful. The tostada was great. The steak portion was big and the steak was cooked perfectly but had lots of fat. But very flavorful!! While the experience didn't meet my initial expectations, I will give it another try and order the fish instead.
