Part of El Paso’s food scene since 1927, if you ask any local for a restaurant recommendation, L&J Cafe will likely be on the list among the best Mexican food in the city.
The atmosphere is casual and laid back and the food is simple tacos, enchiladas, rice and beans – plus generous servings of the house-made salsa and freshly made tortillas. But its authentic preparation sets it apart. A kids’ menu is available upon request.
