When visiting El Paso, you are likely to get hungry and look for El Paso restaurants.
Here is a guide to a few good restaurants in El Paso, TX.
Considering that El Paso is in West Texas and located right on the Mexican border, you can expect at least two types of restaurants… Steakhouses and Mexican restaurants!
I will however show you some other options too.

Cattle Baron Steak & Seafood
If you’re going to be in El Paso, you need to have at least one meal at the Cattle Baron Steak & Seafood. I don’t think you will be sorry!
They are a steakhouse, so expect to find some real good steaks there. The ribeye is very good. But steak isn’t all they do there. They have a variety of interesting appetizers, good soup, several different hamburgers, pork and chicken dishes, and seafood.
With a variety of food like that, I’m sure everyone in the family will find something they like at the Cattle Baron.
Kiki’s Restaurant & Bar
For Mexican food, Kiki’s Restaurant & Bar is a great choice.
Their food is excellent, they have a great variety, and their service is really good too. One of my favorites are enchiladas. They also have daily lunch or dinner Specials at great prices!
Kiki’s is great for families with children, and for either lunch or dinner.
Kiki’s is located fairly close to the Wyler Aerial Tramway if you wanted to stop off for a meal to or from the tramway.
Healthy Bite
Healthy Bite, in downtown El Paso, offers great light, healthy meals. They serve breakfast items, salads, sandwiches, and paninis.
Everything is freshly-prepared while you wait. The owner is also very friendly!
The only slight drawback is that the Healthy Bite is quite small, so be prepared take your food to eat elsewhere. The food itself more than makes up for this though. Give them a try if you want a light, tasty meal.
State Line Restaurant
The County Line BBQ restaurants are very popular in Texas. In El Paso, it is called State Line Restaurant. (I’m guessing that has something to do with it being right on the border with New Mexico.)
Like its counterparts elsewhere in Texas, the State Line restaurant serves excellent BBQ and is also very popular. They have a variety of BBQ platters, steak, and sandwiches to choose from.
If you decide to spend a day at Wet ‘n’ Wild Waterworld, State Line restaurant is on your way there.
Italian Kitchen
As the name suggests, the Italian Kitchen is a fine Italian restaurant in El Paso. The restaurant is in an old house, so going there feels a bit like going to eat in an Italian family’s home.
The Italian Kitchen has a nice variety of Italian dishes, like Chicken Cacciatore or Cutlet Paramagiana (yummy!) and, yes, pizza. Full portions can be quite big, so they have half-portions available for many dishes.
Their service is very good too. If you’re in the mood for Italian food, I think you’ll have a good time here.
