Cattleman's Steakhouse

Top choice in El Paso


This working cattle ranch is 35 miles southeast of downtown – follow signs 4.7 miles northeast from I-10 exit 49 – but locals would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good and the scenery is even better. Portions are huge, and for just $6 you can share a main and gain full access to the family-style sides.

Come early and wander the grounds, where you'll find everything from bunnies to buffalo waiting for you in their pens, then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.
