It’s no surprise some of the best tacos in Texas can be found in El Paso, and Texas Monthly is highlighting a handful of Borderland restaurants for its new list of “50 Best Tacos in Texas.”
Four restaurants in El Paso made the list, compiled by the publication’s editor, José R. Ralat, who visited more than four hundred taquerias over 14,000 miles in about six months, according to the article.
Three of the four of those featured in El Paso made the list’s top 10.
Here are the local taquerias that made the cut:
Elemi Restaurant
Ranked #2
The Horizon City restaurant made the top 10, and its signature conejito pibil taco was featured on the magazine’s cover. The taco features marinated rabbit topped with salsa and pickled red onions wrapped in a blue corn tortilla.
“Our little sweet baby Conejito Pibil on the cover!!!” Elemi wrote on its Instagram.
