Hispanic Heritage Month in El Paso

Location: 3813 Alameda Ave. El Paso Texas, 79905
CULTURAL VISIT
History Museum of El Paso
A Mexican border city like El Paso is a clear example of the symbiosis between Mexican and North American culture. For Hispanic Heritage Month, JefeBet thought you shouldn’t miss this fantastic museum.
To understand the history of El Paso, one must understand the history of México, and vice versa. The aim of the History Museum of El Paso is to preserve and present the intercultural and multinational history of this border region and the mutual influences of both cultures.
Location: 510 N. Santa Fe St. El Paso, Texas 79901
FOOD
L&J Café
México, México and more México. It is completely normal that in a city like El Paso, Mexican restaurants are numerous and… very good!
Since Mexican food is a lot to eat, it’s normal to want to try more and more. That is why we recommend L&J Café. This restaurant is run by women and its history goes back many decades.
In addition, their legendary salsa for nachos, or for dipping with whatever you feel like, is a celebrity in El Paso and all of Texas. Shhh! You can buy it at the restaurant (we don’t know why we say it quietly).
Location: 3622 E. Missouri Ave, El Paso, TX 79903
MORE CULTURE
Centro Cultural Paso del Norte
And we take a small step across the border to see this modern cultural space with important events related to the performing arts in Ciudad Juárez, a city on the border with El Paso. An ideal place to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
The Centro Cultural Paso del Norte is an excellent place to enjoy opera, dance or theater, as well as multiple musical events. It is located a few meters from the border with El Paso, so you can walk there. Take advantage of the opportunity to get off the Mexican food you’ve stuffed between your chest and back.
Location: Anillo Envolvente del Pronaf, Zona Pronaf Condominio La Plata, 32315 Cd Juárez, Chih., México.
DINNER AND DRINK
Elemi
Fancy something different? Well, we have it. Elemi is a perfect restaurant for millennials and lovers of gastronomic fusion. Yes, they are tacos, but with a modern twist. Yes, they are tortillas, but not like those of your grandmother.
At Elemi you will find an exciting mix of flavors and styles that will make your taste buds jump for joy (of course).
In addition, after dinner you can order a delicious cocktail that will not leave you indifferent. A brilliant example of young entrepreneurs who improve the original product. A great way to end your Hispanic Heritage Month day in El Paso.
Location: 313 N Kansas St, El Paso, TX 79901
If you can’t get enough and feel like dancing a little bit, we recommend some of the best Latin nightclubs in San Antonio or the best Latin nightclubs in Charlotte.
