The Best Breakfast And Brunch Spots In El Paso

A gourmet gastro pub, the Hoppy Monk serves up artisan food (check out the fried mushrooms or rabbit tacos) and incredible burgers. Come for the food, stay longer for the craft beers and be sure to try the renowned Blue Fox burger with a perfectly toasted bun while you’re here.

An excellent spot for Sunday brunch, there are comfy booths and some great food on offer, including the excellent lox. Get here early as tables fill up fast. Try the hash browns, margarita lime fries (not kidding), Nutty Texan, and the simple but classic ‘make your own omelet’ station.

Offering everything from Chipotle Brisket to huge BBQ salmon sandwiches and fresh mozzarella-packed Caprese Burgers, the Ripe Eatery & Market is a place to go with an appetite. They also have classics such as a green eggs and ham omelet and a banana beer that goes great with breakfast.

Great food, wait staff and atmosphere have boosted the profile of this new restaurant on the scene. The wonderful omelets also don’t hurt. For more of a boozy brunch check out the great beer, wine and speciality cocktail choices to go with one of their soft pretzels smeared in house-made hot mustard. The flat bread pizzas and lamb burgers also offer a little something different to go with the vibe.

A traditionalEl Paso breakfast spot, Good Luck Café has friendly service and Mexican-style food. Prices aren’t bad and you can brush up on your Spanish as you order picaddio, tocino, papas fritas, and frijoles. Tables may be in demand on weekends, but seats at the counter can make it worth your while.

You may think you’ve just walked into a biker bar here, but keep walking through the several small rooms to reach the café with a helpful staff, friendly atmosphere and great Mexican style cuisine. L&J features superb food and lively music. Be sure to check out the Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas.

Get that small town feel as you step into this 50s style diner and chow down on large portions while you enjoy great service, even when it’s packed. A top pick for any El Paso local (with plenty of regulars), and a great stop for visitors, New Clock is not only reasonable but offers an extensive menu and sits right in the heart of the city.

For those looking for a vegan-friendly restaurant, the Green Ingredient (GI) is your spot.
