If you want to be reaaal “El Paso”, try the tacos (actually taquitos) or hot dogs at Chicos. No Chicos by you? Papa Burgers is a delish alternative.
“The better version of IHOP” Village Inn is where Kenna worked in high school and an El Paso favorite, known for their delicious pies. Most locations are 24/7!
All you need is a passport and a dollar to walk across the border and find yourself in Mexico. No passport? There is a line for people using an I.D. instead, just takes a little longer. The food and prices are unbeatable, and has become somewhere we go to every time we're in town! Park downtown and walk through the border, continue on the same street to feast at La Esquina De Chihuas and/or shop, and head back before dark.
