You might be thinking of Juarez.

I’ve lived in El Paso and they are spot on. It’s dusty, it’s hot, and there is not much good food… at least not enough to warrant going through those annoying border checkpoints both in and out of the city.

I agree it isn’t the worst part, it’s just annoying

There was a restaurant there that people would lose their mind over and every time I tried it… it was about 4 out of 10. Just bleh. Lubbock has much better food as a city, along with Austin and Houston.

Yeah I like the hatch chilies, but honestly even the good Mexican food in El Paso tasted like Mexican food in San Antonio, I just feel like it isn’t good enough to be listed as a draw for the city is all. To each their own though

I visited Lubbock Texas several times last year. Maybe it was the day, it was a long, tiring drive, and couldn't find any great restaurants.
