For those coming for the basketball tournaments here's some of El Paso's great restaurants that help put El Paso on the menu map:

CATTLEMAN'S STEAKHOUSE

Nuovo Cappetto

Cattleman's Steakhouse is more than just a restaurant, there's a lot to see there including a ray ride to a set of scene from the movie "Courage Under Fire" as well as farm animals and an indian maze. Nuovo Cappetto which is a great Italian restaurant is located on the Cincinnati Street close to the Don Haskins Center.

There is also a great pizza place to eat authentic New York Style pizza called Hello Pizza at 1071 Country Club Rd. (915) 581-5000:

God, I don't know what I miss more...the Mexican food or Cattleman's.

I must be in the minority that doesn't "LOVE" chicos. I can stand it. I can eat it, but I'm not dying for it even living here in Dallas.

DO NOT EAT CHICO'S TACOS!!!
Worst flautas I've ever had, with watered down tomato juice and cheese on top... Just no!

Someone I work with always brings them home after a visit to EP and I always pass. Too much better food there.

You know how in some places they eat weird food. Like the stinky, rotten fish in Denmark (?), the smelly fruit in the Philippines. Well, you get the idea. That's what Chicos Tacos is. They're not really what "WE" think of when we think flautas. Go to any of our Mexican restaurants and order flautas and you'll find that they don't resemble Chicos Tacos at all.

Have been to Cattleman's when I went out to watch Middle Tennessee play NMSU. Great meal.

Waiting on UTEPsal's recommendations.

Kiki s is great and relatively close to the. UTEP campus.
