The Pershing Inn

“Known for having the best tamales in the southwest. People come from all over the world just to sample these authentic tamales. An El Paso must. 2 min. away. Red with pork, green have chicken and the chili cheese are delicious too! Carry out and menudo available on weekends. Make sure to call ahead. Tamales go quickly!”

“Is it a dive bar? Or is it just very modern? Who cares. It's a cool spot with cheap drinks and a great food truck. Easy walking distance. ”

“Kiki's Mexican Restaurant is another iconic El Paso establishment. It may not as old as some others, but in terms of their Food Network (for their Beef Machaca) fame and being one of local favorites, Kiki's is truly one of the best in El Paso. Sunday daily lunch special is Chicken Mole.”

“Great little bistro and bar within walking distance of the cottage. A favorite is the fried cheese block. It's a must try.”

“The Italian Kitchen was started as the original American Dream Mom and Pop shop of the post war baby boom generation...this has been a family run business since the beginning. I highly recommend visiting this place. ”
