Any suggestions for places to eat in El Paso?
Business takes me there next weekend.

I'm only in El Paso long enough to drive through it from Palm Springs to Houston and back twice a year, so all I can tell you is that Cracker Barrel has a lot of grandmas.

Just stay away from Rosa's Cantina, I hear that place is trouble.

Things change over time, but check and see if there is a "La Fonda's" in town. Semi-upscale formal sit-down white table cloth chain-that's-not-a-chain group--all of which long ago became independent. The best is in Lafayette, La., with the one in San Antonio a close second. Super Margarita's and even better food. Know anybody in the Army who's ever been or is currently stationed or retired there?
Big Army presence there--they would know best.

PS: Just hit google(which I should have done beforehand) and appears LaFonda"s everywhere BUT
El Paso. Also reviews sadly indicate one in S.A.
has declined. No other personal experience upon
which to make a suggestion. I've only passed thru.

If you don't mind driving the 46 miles to Las Cruces NM, there's a wonderful "winery" restaurant called St Clair Bistro, at ~1800 Avenida de Mesilla, just south of the freeway, that I hit 4 times when I was in town on business at the beginning of February. Also recommended by all of the other conference attendees that I convinced to try it. Check out their wines and menus online at: http://www.stclairvineyards.com/Bistro-lascruces.htm

If you have time, Cattleman's is good just for the experience.

If BBQ is what you're after try the State Line Restaurant on the west side of town. Bout 10 minutes from downtown.
