🌮 El Paso Food Totally Blew Me Away!

Who needs barbecue chicken in Texas, lol Being right on the Mexican border, El Paso’s food scene is seriously underrated! I had zero expectations, but every spot amazed me—even had an amazing meal on Thanksgiving! 1️⃣ Mamacitas – El Paso’s Vibe-y Brunch Spot 🌺🍳 The food was great, but the service was a bit scattered. The fruit plate at the end looked straight from the grocery store, haha. 2️⃣ Pho Tre Bien – Vietnamese Pho 🍜 Craved something light and warm at the end of the trip—pretty good! Just note it’s fully self-service. 3️⃣ Taconeta – Upscale Tacos 🌮✨ This place is El Paso’s trendy taco spot, with a gourmet twist. Every taco was delicious! The vibe was cool too—lots of people grabbing drinks. 4️⃣ Taft-Diaz – Romantic Mexican Bistro, Perfect for Dates 🍷🌙 A bit pricey since it’s in a hotel, but the portions were huge! Octopus chicharrón was amazing, and the beef tartare, truffle fries, pork chop, roasted chicken, grilled salmon, duck breast (surprisingly good even rare), and sea bass—all hits! 📌 Final Thoughts El Paso may be a border city, but the Mexican food here is surprisingly fire! 🔥 #ElPaso #ElPasoFood #ElPasoEats #TexasFood #USMexicoBorder#HelloDecember #ElPaso
