"One of the best restaurants in the area is this extremely plain yet bustling little corner spot. It isn't much to look at; it doesn't even serve alcohol. But it excels at feeding people well, and that's nothing to take for granted. Tacos are a natural starting point. The fragrant soft corn tortillas are doubled up in authentic Mexican style to contain fillings like tangy marinated pork, spicy crumbled chorizo sausage and grilled beef. But the highlights at El Paso are the daily specials, all served with rice and refried beans. They might include puerco adobo, tender, vinegary pork served on the bone in a spicy tomato sauce, or cecina asada, a huge thin cut of beef that has been dried, salted and spiced, with sautéed chilies and cactus pads. On Saturdays and Sundays, El Paso serves pozole, the satisfying soup of pork and puffed corn.
