El Paso, Texas: Hidden Gem Museum & Legendary BBQ Spot! 🇺🇸🔥

Who knew this border hub would steal our hearts? After road-tripping through New Mexico, we stumbled upon sprawling El Paso ("big city" proof: it has a ZOO! 🐘). 🏛 Must-Visit Museum 📍 Magoffin Home State Historic Site A 19th-century Spanish colonial mansion frozen in time Jaw-dropping interiors—like stepping into Downton Abbey: Texas Edition 🕯️ Photogenic AF: Lush gardens + grand plaza (📸 golden hour magic) 🎟️ $7 | ⏰ Tue-Sun 9AM-5PM 🍖 BBQ Heaven Alert! 📍 Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q (chain, but don’t judge) 🔥 Must-Order: Beef Brisket Moist: Juicy, smoky, life-changing 🤤 Baby Back Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone + house BBQ sauce = addiction 📦 Pro Tip: Fly with leftovers (yes, we hauled a vacuum-sealed feast back to Seattle!) ✈️ Nationwide shipping for orders $50+ (sauce alone is worth it) Verdict: El Paso = culture + carnivore dreams. #ElPaso #TexasBBQ #HiddenHistory #FoodieTravel #BorderCityGems #MeatSweats #MuseumHunting #TravelTexas
