The cantina behind the Marty Robbins song, still standing on Doniphan with the memorabilia on the walls and live music on Saturday nights.
Why it is on the list
- Genuine El Paso mythology you can order a beer inside of.
- "El Paso" comes on the speakers periodically, and nobody is embarrassed about it.
- No pretense whatsoever — that is the appeal.
