Chico’s Tacos

by Adrean Johnson

chicos-tacos.jpgNo one can fully experience El Paso life without dining at Chico’s Tacos at least once. Chico’s Tacos is a local restaurant with 5 locations within the city. Chico’s Tacos was founded in 1953 and has become the most well known restaurant in the city. I guarantee that if you ask any El Paso native about Chico’s, they will definetely know what you’re talking about. Now don’t get me wrong! The food is extremely delicious, but the establishment is a whole in the wall diner. So if you are looking for five star dining experience Chico’s Tacos is not the way to go. It is, on the other hand a cultural experience.

It’s a Mexican restaurant without all the class. The food is very cheap. You can get so full and only spend around five dollars. The menu has a variety of foods to choose from such as hamburgers, hot dogs, burritos and french fries. Everyone I know personally goes there to enjoy the savory rolled tacos, that are saturated in a tomato juice with lots of cheese on top. It may not sound delicious as described, but believe me it is. The best part of it all is the salsa verde, which is a green salsa that is pretty hot. If you enjoy hot foods this salsa will make your meal 100 times better, but if you don’t enjoy hot foods leave it alone.

Another reason that Chico’s is a good place to eat is because it is open late, and open even later on the weekends. The only problem with going late on the weekends is that the place will be packed like a can of sardines. In addition to that, almost 90% of the people in there will be intoxicated. It is known as the hot spot, after the club or a good party. Whether you enjoy the tacos, experience the crazy people, or just hate the place it’s an experience that you will never forget.
