I came to El Paso 5 years ago from Austin. I have found two good restaurants here, Cafe Central and Cattleman’s. As for the others the food is very mediocre. All of the “Mexican” Restaurants seem to have pretty...

The H & H Car Wash has been one of my longtime favorites on trips through El Paso. In fact, made a several thousand mile detour for breakfast earlier this year and will do it again. Chiles rellenos con salsa verde (not on the...

and Dome Restaurant (both are downtown). See link below. I know Cafe Central is good but I don’t know about the others. I would make a suggestion, though, that no trip to El Paso would really be complete without eating...

Gringo Tacos

drive home, so the food was still hot and fresh when I opened the styrofoam box. I have always considered this to be one of the best restaurants in the El Paso area for red enchiladas. They serve the pure red chile typical of New...

NOT miss the house specialty, Cream of Green Chile soup. I think this was the best soup I have ever had. The service was impecable. I would highly reccomend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in El...

El Paso is a great food city, with outstanding taquerias and a great food tradition, especially bordering New Mexico. I’d put the red-chile guisada I had one morning in the courthouse cafeteria-and I’m not joking...

Just got back from visiting my sister in El Paso and managed to have 1 really good chowhound meal that’s worth passing on — Carnitas Querrotaro. Pork carnitas cooked just right, beef or lamb barbacoa, pork in red...

Hi Hounds - I have 24 hrs in El Paso - looking for recommendations for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

i assume you cant get bad mexican food in el paso but still would appreciate recommendations— even hole in the wall mom and pops where little english is spoken.

Awhile back I ate at a mexican rest. in El Paso whose speciality was pork. Does anyone know the name? Also I had a dish of roasted pork ribs that was great. Does anyone know the name of that dish? The place was right on I.H. 10....

Sonoran style Mex. Good guac, an extra yummy shrimp appetizer wrapped in bacon with chiles, and excellent salsa. One place I have not tried but look forward to is Little Diner (part of a tortilla factory) in Canutillo, outside El...

Too bad to hear about Mesa Street. I spent many an hour in the restaurant and bar years ago when it was the place to be. I’ve been gone from El Paso for a couple of years now, and it was starting to go down in quality even...

Previous postings list the State Line for ribs and Cattle Baron’s for steaks. Haven’t tried State Line yet but Cattle Baron’s has the best steaks this side of heaven. Now, what about other restaurants in the El...

Where to eat? Along the way or even in El Paso? Are there places worth getting off the beaten track to try? It’s a long drive; we figure 12.5 hours, so would like to break it up with some good food, if possible. Thanks.
