Hotel Indigo El Paso Downtown

Cool indoor/outside hotel rooftop bar.

Park Tavern

Delicious food selections, located in downtown area.

State Line

TX BBQ on the actual state line of Texas and New Mexico.

Los Bandidos De Carlos & Mickey's

One of El Paso's favorite gems! GREAT MARGARITAS. Unfortunately, you cannot make reservations and your whole party needs to be present to request a table. Expect some wait time, but live music by the bar will help it go by quickly!

Texas Roadhouse

TX BBQ with the BEST dinner rolls.

AJ's Diner

50's styled diner, delicious burgers and shakes.

Zino's Greek and Mediterranean Cuisine

Another one of Jake and Vianni's favorite spots.

The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso

Outdoor mall, great savings on big brands. Factory stores

The Fountains at Farah

Cute outdoor mall with great eats, shopping and ice skating rink.

Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino

Horse racetrack and casino. Western Playland is also a small amusement park that is across the road from the casino, not the most exciting park but still fun for little ones!

Bob-O's Family Fun Center

Fun for families, go-kart track, baseball cages, lazer tag, bumper boats, etc.

Adventure Zone

Fun for the kiddos!

Old Mesilla

Cute and quaint little town with local shops and delicious restaurants. Somewhat of a miniature version of Santa Fe, worth the drive!

The Pecan Grill and Brewery

One of Jake and I's favorite spots! Las Cruces is a fun and laid back town to explore.

Franklin Mountains State Park

Great hiking spot!

Hueco Tanks State Park & Historic Site

If you're looking for a beautiful and exciting hike, this is the place! But be aware it is about an hour drive heading east and YOU MUST MAKE A RESERVATION. Jake and I came with friends and didn't have one and basically had to turn back around (learn from us!)

White Sands

Very unique park, white sand absolutely EVERYWHERE! Can rent sleds and slide down the hills, picnic and enjoy! About an hour and a half drive headed west.
