I met a banker from Chase today. She is from El Paso too. We started talking about our town. Then I asked her if she missed Chicos. She said that she used to frequent the place before she worked for Chase. But after she started with Chase she said lost her appetite for it. I asked her why....She said that whenever they would bring the money in from the resturant that it would smell like '"Chicos Tacos"......lol!! She also said that the smell would stick around the bank after they put it away....lol!!!!

I don't think Doniphan would be good for a Chicos. There are too many better Mexican food places already on Doniphan. Las Fuentes has a couple Doniphan locations, Valens also has much better tacos than Chicos.

I think maybe by UTEP would work for a Chicos.

Default But...

They are trying to upgrade the food in the area! Though being near Cincinnati Street make sense. Lord knows there would be enough drunks to float the location all the way to b'fast.
