  • This is an El Paso Texas travel guide from 2021. We walk around the downtown El Paso area, then head over to the border crossing with Juarez. We also go up to the El Paso lookout where you can see all of the El Paso Borderplex region into Mexico. Have you been to El Paso Texas or do you plan to visit?

    Nice video man. El Paso gets alot of hate, but you can't beat the weather, good food, good people and the best hospitality..And hey...We may not be hip like Austin and we don't have a beautiful Riverwalk like San Antonio, but at least our power grid is reliable 😉.....

      Good food??? 🤣🤣🤣 there's a severe lack of good food .. nor variety.... if your taste buds are endless fast food or mediocre Mexican food and chicken wing joints on every street then el paso is for you. . Even the BBQ and steakhouses are a let down. And the sushi here..what a joke.. el paso is seriously slacking in the food scene.. people are nice tho..

      The mountains are beautiful, no where else can the Mexican food even come close to comparing, it is hot but there's no tornados, no hurricanes, no earthquakes, it can get cold at night being a desert, but the days are sunny, not rainy all the time, it's lovely. There's no place like it❤

    Thanks for a tour of a city where I was born, grew up and worked for 57 years; then to move away in 2009 to East Texas. The place has changed quite a lot since moving away. The only thing to remain the same is the colorful culture, the warm people who live there and the great food. The climate can’t be beat. Lots of history there; a gem of a city.

Lovely landscapes, incredible food, a lot of sun! a great little baseball stadium and the downtown was recently renovated.

      I would say it’s certainly up there. Considering the borderplex region very Mexican and American fusion. Cool city to stop through on i10

      I heard that there is a restaurant in Amirleo, Texas where if you can finish a 74 pound steak, you can have it for free. Maybe you should try to do that.

    Is 20-22k enough to move there from iowa as a single man?

      I would say yes. 20k saved up is more than most Americans have. 40% of Americans have no savings at all.
