Come and visit Central Texas. Somehow, Tex-Mex cuisine embraced a wonderful Puerto Rican dish, Carne Guisada. Breakfast Tacos or a plateful with Beans, Rice & Tortillas. I love it for any meal of the day.
I live in Austin but I was born and raised in El Paso next time I need you to drive a little outside the city limits when your head back east El Paso to a small suburb called Horizon and go to a hidden gem not even all the locals know about called Tacos El Charley and get a mix of different tacos . Also if you’re in far east El Paso there is a Mexican bakery that outdoes even the OG bakeries called El Prado bakery it’s something you can’t go without trying.
yessur tacos el charley is amazing! Moved to horizon a few years ago and that has been my go to place. My dad *big time authentic taco fan* fell in love with that place. I was so glad to introduce him to tacos el charley
My beautiful city, I never want to leave. Puro Chuco town 915! All my 28 years of life, I've been here and love it. Thank you for this great and well-made video!
Amazing episode! Great job you nailed it! Really made me homesick for my hometown! Here’s some places you missed.. Ft Bliss, The Chamizal, The Missions, Licon Dairy, Bowie Bakery, and the star on the mountain.
Watching your videos nonstop here after following and liking. Met you in Fort Worth shortly after my move to Texas. A friend of mine who’s from El Paso was a USCG who freed freighters frozen in Lake Michigan from ice and snow stationed in Charlevoix Michigan.
Excellent job! Best El Paso tour I've ever watched. You missed a few spots, but it would've been hard to squeeze all in just one day. I am so happy that you were able to go to the tramway (hard to believe, but hidden gem not many people knew about it), sadly no longer working.
Born and raised in EP and my dude, your little hat and mustache intro completely embodied my high school freshman English teacher. I mean you nailed it. Mr. Bruns
We had a Mr. Bruns in high school, with a moustache, but he wasn't the teacher, he was an academic counselor. Our principal Mr. Watts was tall and lean and dressed like a cowboy. It was hilarious to see him walking down the hall and his cell phone would go off with "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" ringtone.
Man those are only the amazing places to visit. The individual stories of everyone in El Chuco is something else. The stories about El Barrio and others like it can literally be made into a colorful film. My own family is a reservoir of stories that'd be beautiful, intense, and magical to watch in the silver screen. love you guys for showing my home and the people some love. it's extremely underrated. Bless up!!!
Really happy you did an episode here, I never knew about this channel but I just got this video recommended to me in my feed this morning. If you ever come back check out some of the cultural/community events they have going on downtown in San Jacinto Plaza 😁
really cool to see the love and care put in the production of this video! thank you for visiting el paso. you showed me sites I have never even been to and its my hometown!
By that “Border monument #1, around the bend by the railroad tracks there’s parts where u can see dinosaur tracks. When I was attending UTEP our Geology final was to go there and find them with a map the professor gave us. I’m from EL Paso and I still live here.
Listen I don’t like living in el Paso (I’m a north western girl who wasn’t built for the desert) , but this video made me appreciate it a bit more and showed me a few places in this town I haven’t seen or heard of before despite being here for 3 years now.
Excellent El Paso showcase! You need to take a short trip across to Juarez, yo will find interesting places just a few steps in once you cross trough the downtown Juarez-El Paso international bridge.
"It's the only taco you can drink" omg so true 😂😂 I love Chicos. BTW the tramway has been closed for a couple of years now I guess this video was filmed a while back. Still hoping they open back up soon it's a real treasure going up there and seeing our beautiful city ❤
It's been deemed not safe for the public and would cost too much to re-open it. I hope that some millionaire takes it on as a pet project for the city... best views in all of TX up there!
@@EricaGametI’ve been following the tramway’s revitalization. It cost $10M to repair, and (thankfully) the State Representative from El Paso asked the legislature for the money. Even though Texas Parks and Wildlife has the money, it will take several years before it’s open because they’re moving it to a completely new place.
Excellent presentation...I am considering moving to El Paso (from Philly, PA)...thanks for highlighting the Franklin Mountain State Park - I did not realize that there could be a place of solitude ecen in the midst of that city...I love the SW😊
Wow was this thorough. Missed fortis, but this was such a professional well done video. As an el pasoan I didn’t even know half these places existed. Great work!
I'm originally from SE New Mexico and have been to El Paso many times. My favorite part of this episode is when the host is at L&J's and is told "No" when he asked if the food was what he'd call Tex-Mex.
I lived in EP 2013-2017 and loved it. I didn't realize this was a throw-back episode and thought, "Yay! The tramway is open again!" No such luck... permanently closed. I never even tried Chico's... heard too many horror stories! My go-to place was Kiki's Restaurant. Also, if you like history, the Historic Mission Trail is great. I used to bike the length of the trail back in the day!
Glad to see you visited the place of I was born and raised however I did comeback after living in SA the past 4 years I keep hearing about the tram being featured and I also heard it was closed but I wish someone would get the vision to restore and revitalize it it would generate tourism for sure by the way I also use to work in hospitality!!!!😊
I live in El Paso, and I've never been to some of these places, lol. I been on the tramway and of course Chicos Tacos. I need to check out the Aztec caves.
El Paso native!! Thank you for not representing our city as *country cowboy county.* we have a very rich Mexican culture that most media coverage overlooks. And don't insult us with Tex-Mex!
You made the same mistake most newbies make: you tried to stab the taco to raise. Think this way: you are on the floor of a carpet warehouse and you want to move rolls of carpet around. Your forklift (your fork) slips into the end of the roll of carpet to lift it up.
I must admit that I do not comprehend the widespread popularity of Chico's tacos among some of the local populace. Although I was raised in El Paso, I never developed a taste for them. In my opinion, the article overlooked several other noteworthy locations, including the Cattleman's ranch/ steakhouse.
I live here in El Paso, and I thought the Tramway closed back in 2018, and still is, was this recorded back then? Or did they made an exception for your show?
I hope EP gets another episode, so many more things show! The Mansion belonging to J.J. Arms, Chamizal and Ascarate Parks, UTEP Sun Bowl, Fort Bliss, etc… I owe my childhood and part of my adolescence to that great city 🫶🏼.
Native El Pasoan here. Great video! One correction tho. The park ranger was incorrect. The Rockies end art the Sangre de Cristo mountains in northern New Mexico. The Franklins ate geologically considered part of the basin and range geographic province. They were formed entirely independent of the Rocky Mountain chain.
Dude you missed out not going to cattleman's at indian ridge ranch it's 30 minutes east but every el pasoan has taken the drive out there for special occasions
I have lived in El Paso and surrounding area most of my life, there are great places to visit and good food if you know where to look. El Paso has an amazing cost of living a dollar goes a long way. It's funny to me that most people who visit or even live here just see what was shown in this video. This video makes El Paso look like a dry depressing desert. Come to the Westside of El Paso, upper valley is beautiful and lush due to it being along the Rio Grande, not including the country club, etc. Great restaurants from Sunset street to Cimarron area. Take the old country road towards Las Cruces and all you see is beautiful homes and farmland and vineyards not including the quaint town of Old Mesilla with tons of history and good food. My family and myself love to travel and El Paso helps us afford that due to the low cost of living not to mention we have a decent international airport.
I was stationed there at Fort Bliss prior to going to college. I loved that place.
Same! I was stationed here and been here for the past 10 years. Just finished school and now I'm moving away.
Thank you for coming to El Paso, we arrived from PR 🇵🇷30 years ago and we are still here. I love Texas specially El Paso.
Come and visit Central Texas. Somehow, Tex-Mex cuisine embraced a wonderful Puerto Rican dish, Carne Guisada. Breakfast Tacos or a plateful with Beans, Rice & Tortillas. I love it for any meal of the day.
@@bassmangotdbluz Eww no
Oh yes
Having lived all over the state, El Paso is severely underrated. Great people, great food, great nature.
If you don’t have an ambitious bone in your body and want to live humbly, El Paso ain’t a bad place to call home.
@@barano9729 haha I agree, that part frustrated me and one of the reasons why I don’t live in my hometown anymore
@@apmrage71Left EP almost 25 years ago. Never looked back. lol
Same here. El Paso gets a really bad rep, but it's a great place
@@barano9729 so everyone who lives in El Paso has no ambition?
As an el paso native of all my 23 years on earth you did our city justice well done!
El Paso is a great City with Great People. I was stationed out there 1997-2000 Training Marine Corps Reservist. Loved it.
Thank u 4 your service

Omg my sister lives in horizon!! I’ll tell her to take me!
I've been here the past 10 years and I am soon moving to Austin in a month. I have loved every minute of my time here, but time for something new :)
Tacos El Charley was average at best. Portion sizes were too small.
79928 all day!!!
I never thought I’d miss El Paso, but I really do. It’s so different, but in a good way. It’s also a ridiculously safe and affordable city.
Great to see someone actually came all the way out here to the middle of nowhere and teaching me something new about my city.
I’m an El Paso native and you’ve made me appreciate my city even more! Thank you for this video, made me smile!
el paso is basically Juarez mexico minus the cartel.Poor and getting no where in life
My beautiful city, I never want to leave. Puro Chuco town 915! All my 28 years of life, I've been here and love it. Thank you for this great and well-made video!
I've been here 47 years ❤
Glad you loved our city! We need more people showing love like this
I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could. And still here after 5o years!!! I love it here...
This was a very well made video, I grew up in El Paso and you educated me on places I had no idea about. Thank you for the great content.
Thanks for doing a Day Trip to El Paso!!!
This was very interesting for me! My grandma was from El Paso. She was also a caterer. And her Mexican food sounded like what you experienced!
Amazing episode! Great job you nailed it! Really made me homesick for my hometown! Here’s some places you missed.. Ft Bliss, The Chamizal, The Missions, Licon Dairy, Bowie Bakery, and the star on the mountain.
Awesome episode Chet. We are watching all your TH-cam stuff! Good job from home town fans!
Dude it makes me a bit emotional how proud are you of being a texan♥️
Keep it up!
🤠

Another masterpiece, makes me wanna go to El Paso!
Another great video Chet 👍😄. I wish you would have had your crew put you in that BIG boot and have you looking out 🤣
I came back for a reason, love chuco 🖤
El paso STRONG !!!! 915!!! Viva Chuco town !!!

@@princeofpips3400 Nice!!
How is it you did not see the The Giant El Paso Mountain Star. 😂
Best entertaining and informational video! ❤Thank you!
Thank you for visiting and highlighting all the attributes of El Paso🤗. I love this place.
Thank you for showing El Paso love
Thank you for visiting El Paso we hope you enjoyed your stay come back anytime boss 💪🏽
We are fortunate enough to live in Las Cruces, NM, just an hour's drive to el Paso. Needless to say we are there all the time.

We stayed in El Paso. Good food and friendly folks. Beautiful mountains nearby. Saw my first scorpion outside.
30+ years living here it stops feeling special but it's always heartwarming to see someone else enjoy it
really cool to see the love and care put in the production of this video! thank you for visiting el paso. you showed me sites I have never even been to and its my hometown!

Me and my family watch all your videos we love bro, and shout out to the entire crew as well
I love El Paso I even live here

Great job. El Paso has so much history, eateries etc you need several shows to do it.
Thank you for showing the beauty of my city.
I love my chuco Town❤️❤️ thank you for showing our town some love ❤️

He got that "taco you can drink" joke from Gabriel Iglesias. Bro tried to be funny and instead looked like clown

Got to get back to The Little Diner in Canutillo. That's THE place for authentic gorditas. Nothing else beats it.
If you ever come back, I would recommend Scenic drive and Bowie bakery. Thanks for visiting!
I miss my hometown. It has more in common with New Mexico. Always enjoy my visits I now live in San Francisco.
Bet the food is better in Frisco tho.
@@slodado1hell na , that shits overpriced

My Hometown!!!!!
The Tramway is being renovated.
The tramway is being renovated. It cost a whopping $10M! But it’s being built in a completely new area. It will be several years before it’s finished.
This is awesome. As an el Pasoan? I’m proud of the info you’ve given…
Tramway is temporarily closed for refurbishment tho
I live in El Paso, and I've never been to some of these places, lol. I been on the tramway and of course Chicos Tacos. I need to check out the Aztec caves.
Great video, but too bad you didn't cover the Mission Trail, UTEP or Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo.
Happy to be living in El Paso❤❤❤❤
Great job
Greetings from Juárez Chihuahua Mexico
El Paso native!! Thank you for not representing our city as *country cowboy county.* we have a very rich Mexican culture that most media coverage overlooks. And don't insult us with Tex-Mex!
El Paso is one of my favorite cities ❤
the mill at 4:40 no longer exists
I have some bricks from that building.

Love EP

As a native to El Paso, I’ll tell you don’t go eat at L&J’S. That place is garbage compared to Lucy’s, Kiki’s etc…
23:03 in Mexico we call those flautas! 🪈 tacos 🌮 are this 👈 😉
Nice video!!! ❤
I was upset about the closing of the Tramway, some 6 months after my last visit. From what I understand there are no plans for its reopening.
The Tramway is being renovated
There are. The Texas legislature barely funded it last year, so it will be a couple years before it’s open again.
El Paso?! "I spent one month there one night." El Paso🤣
Lol the fierce Chicos Tacos… i think i missed a museum or two
You forgot to visit the lower valley missions oldest in the states, Hueco Mnts state park .
Those are all for my next trip for sure.
I hope EP gets another episode, so many more things show! The Mansion belonging to J.J. Arms, Chamizal and Ascarate Parks, UTEP Sun Bowl, Fort Bliss, etc… I owe my childhood and part of my adolescence to that great city 🫶🏼.
Jj arms house has been torn down
It’s a Wendy’s now 😮
Thanks for visiting 🙏🏼

The Franklins ate geologically considered part of the basin and range geographic province. They were formed entirely independent of the Rocky Mountain chain.
Chicos is awesome, good and cheap. The best restaurant chain in El Paso is el cometa though!
I heard the property taxes are atrocious in El Paso.
Greater than 2%. 😵
All of this shown here is downtown and central El Paso , the city has grown so much there’s way more modern things to be shown and beautiful homes
El Paso, or as I like to think of it, actual Texas
No its more like Mexico in every aspect even down to the poverty...Its really nothing like true texas
Dude, you missed the Star on the mountain 😥
Someone asked me once online if El Paso had Tex-Mex. I told him, "BETTER! We have Mex-Mex!"
Facts!!!
Are there any off road easy trails for trucks?
CHICO TACOS IS SO GOOD🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 I love the fries
i cant believe youtube knows my location so they put a video about my city but thanks for coming to el paso bro
Dude you missed out not going to cattleman's at indian ridge ranch it's 30 minutes east but every el pasoan has taken the drive out there for special occasions
You should have gone to Eloise bar and resturaunt. Jim Ward owns it with wife. He used to be in Sparta. Such a great band.
I love El Paso, Tx.
Tramway has been closed for years!

How did you get to go on the Tram???? 😭
how did you take the tram way up? heard it’s been close for years
THAT'S MY HOME!!!❤
My hometown! 💗 💗💗
The tramway is closed now
As a Native im sorry you went you Chicos 🥲
That tram has been closed since 2018?
I can see it from where I live and never seen it operational since then.
Great video! 👍🏼 ❤
Since when do we have a tramway???
