Good food, good beer, good film, all at the same place! That is what Alamo Drafthouse is known for.

Coffee
Nothing makes you feel all toasty and warm inside like a good cup of coffee. And this coffee is by far our favorite! The homies at summer moon are known for making their small, hand-roasted batches of the finest beans over seasoned Texas post oak deliciousness. And if you like your lattes, don’t forget to try their moon milk! This silky and creamy milk is a summer moon staple sprinkled with Texas love (we recommend with oat milk but any milk works great).

This is a very popular coffee shop in east El Paso! They have a variety of great coffee and tea selections. They also bake their delicious donuts fresh every morning (so stop by early if you can). And on the weekends only, they have filled conchas that are to die for! We recommend their iced chai tea latte with oat milk and their DONUTS (*in case we didn’t mention it before).

Food scene
Sushi, wine, beer, saki, and hot fire flames hibachi grills! We love going to Koze when we want to feel extra fancy or to celebrate a special occasion. Their sushi is some of the best in the city! They also have hibachi grills with super cool chefs that do super cool things. We highly recommend their Playboy, Volcano roll, starter house salad (their ginger dressing is amazing), or anything from the Teppan grill.

Although this is more of a chain, the service, food, and ambiance at Chuy’s is totally unmatched! We love going here for great Tex-Mex and great service. They have delicious drink options like their famous Ritas and make their tortillas from scratch everyday! We recommend their “Big As Yo’ Face” Burritos, Enchiladas, Soft Tacos, and their Strawberry Mojito!

This is probably El Paso’s most favorite food spot ever. Fair warning, go in with an open mind! Because these are tacos as you’ve never seen them before. These rolled tacos are served in a special tomato soup-like sauce, but they are delicious! Chico’s has been featured in the Food Network’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” and one of Gabriel Iglesias favorite food spots!

Nightlife
This is a local beer filling station popular among locals, and their newer Eastlake location is no exception! They are known for their local and regional craft beer and eclectic El Paso ambiance. If you are on the sweeter side, their ciders and house sangria are some of their most popular. ¡Salud!
