Food scene

This is a great spot for your Taco Tuesdays! The fun ambiance makes you feel like you are visiting an eclectic restaurant in Mexico City. You order your food in the walk-up window and the staff will bring it to your table once it is ready. Host's tip: this is a cocktail-style restaurant, they sell their tacos by the taco, so it is great for lunch or if you are looking for a fun tapa/cocktail spot. But if you are super-duper hangry, this may not be the best spot for you.

This modern brewhouse is a local favorite and is an easy 3 minutes away from Cimarron. They have great drinks, tasty food, and excellent craft beer options that are brewed in-house. If you like avocado, we recommend the fried avocado appetizer to start off. Enjoy!

One of El Paso's most famous Mexican Steakhouses! They have been in the business for about 25 years so they know a thing or two about the steak arts. Great place for the family, a fancy night out, or a date night. They also have a vegan menu for my fellow veggie lovers. If you are looking for a local favorite, we recommend the Arrachera Steak.

Great spot for some of the best thin-crust artisan pizza in town! We highly recommend the Joanna's Pizza, the Woody Pizza, and the Garden Green Salad; they also have a great wine selection. Nice spot for a date night, a girl's night out, or just a tasty Italian dinner with loved ones.

This is a great place for brunch! They serve fresh biscuits for brunch on the weekends that are super yummy. This local favorite is also a great dinner spot. We recommend their Sweet Potato Fries, Black Bean and Triple B Burger, Pecan Crusted Salmon, and their BBQ Salmon Sandwich.

Entertainment

This is a newer movie theatre 2 minutes from Cimarron where you can watch the latest movies and enjoy some delicious food. They also are a Brewhouse with award-winning brews! Every month or so they release Flix Picks where they bring back classic movies that left theaters years ago. Sometimes they even create limited time themed menu items like Butterbeer Milkshakes for the Harry Potter series throwback. This theatre has quickly become a local hot spot!

Calling all sports fans! If you love watching live sports, we highly recommend checking out the Southwest University Park Stadium. This newer stadium is nestled in the heart of downtown and is home to the El Paso Chihuahuas Baseball Team and the El Paso Locomotives Soccer Team.

If you catch a Locomotive game, be on the lookout for the Locomotive Fan Club, they are sure to get you in the spirit!

This is a great spot to have fun and let loose with friends/family! Food, drinks, play, music, and HDTVs! And the best part is, (if you’re anything like me) you don’t have to be great at golf! No pressure to have a killer back swing, just to let loose and create great memories. We recommend that you make a reservation beforehand so you don’t have a long wait, especially on weekends.

Night Life

If you are a Great Gatsby fan you will love this local hot spot. This 1920-themed bar will take you back in time to an era of prohibition and Jazz! They specialize in classic craft cocktails and they have small food items as well. They are known for having a discreet location but if you use the telephone booth at the entrance, someone will let you in. We highly recommend you make a reservation in advance to make sure you don't have a long wait. And if you are up to it, you can dress up in your favorite 1920s-themed attire and fit right in! Hosts Tip: Parking can be a little tricky. We recommend taking an Uber or parking in the Chase parking garage across the street.
