Best Late-Night Tacos in El Paso · El Paso, TX
Chico's Tacos has been an El Paso obsession since 1953, serving a dish found almost nowhere else: rolled 'flautas' dropped into a cup of light tomato-and-broth sauce and buried under shredded yellow cheese, eaten with a tiny fork. Order 'single' or 'double,' add the house hot sauce, and join a line that never really ends.
Beloved for its late hours and unwavering formula, Chico's is a hometown ritual — the sort of place El Pasoans crave the moment they leave town and hit the moment they return.
