El Paso: What to Do Beyond White Sands?

(Spoiler: Not much... but the FOOD slays!) 🍖🔥 Let’s be real—El Paso’s charm isn’t in its attractions (yawn), but in its meat-heavy, flavor-packed culinary scene. Here’s the tea: "Sights" (If You Must) 🏠 Magoffin Home State Historic Site A 19th-century rich guy’s mansion 👴💰 Pretty garden, dusty interiors—30 mins max ⏳ Verdict: Skip unless you’re really into doorknobs. 🎨 Graffiti Walls "Meh" tier—not worth a special trip. 🔥 The REAL Stars: FOOD 1. Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q Texas BBQ royalty 👑 Must-order: Brisket Moist (melts like butter) Baby Back Ribs (fall-off-the-bone) Pro tip: Ask for samples—they’re generous! 2. Taconeta Fusion tacos with Asian-friendly twists 🌮✨ Winners: Crispy shrimp taco Mushroom taco (fried to perfection) Vibes: Instagrammable + killer margs 🍹 3. Café Central Fine dining fail: We got banished to the patio for wearing tees 😅 Save it for: Grilled octopus (💯) Date night (if you pack a blazer) 4. Los Cabos Seafood Solid Mexican, but not the best taco in town Skip if: You’re short on time. 5. West Texas Chophouse Good steak… but Rudy’s stole our hearts ❤️‍🔥 Final Take ✅ Come for the BBQ, leave for White Sands. ❌ Don’t expect thrilling sights—this is a eat-first, ask-questions-later town. #ElPasoEats #TexasBBQ #TacoTuesday #FoodOverSights #WhiteSandsDetour #MeatSweats #TravelForFood #UnpopularOpinion
