Some Like It Hot!

The only way to make our sunsets more spectacular is to watch while enjoying local cuisine. Spicy, savory, daring, and delicious, the food in El Paso offers a culinary adventure. Being next door to Mexico, visitors can expect excellent, authentic dishes — fajitas, steaks, and seafood — seasoned in wonderful marinades and chile rubs.
El Paso is home to Tex-Mex, with dishes such as burritos, chimichangas, and taquitos incorporating plenty of cheese and chile sauce. Mouth-watering barbecue abounds here, as well. Beyond the northern border, New Mexico has its own distinctive regional fare, including chiles rellenos, stacked enchiladas, and carne adobada, always with a healthy dose of local red or green chile. True to El Paso’s international and multicultural flavor, restaurants here also serve up Thai, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Greek, and other flavors from around the world.
So find a cozy table or open patio, sip a margarita, and enjoy cuisine found nowhere else.
