I agree with that last statement entirely, but I'm shocked that you didn't get any pushback on it.For the margaritas.
Although you are underselling C&M. Tex mex is Chuys, which is garbage. Atleast C&M has flavor and spice. Best Mexican food in el paso? Definitely not. But it's a good place to drink.
I do however laugh when people recommend Chicos, which is dog food.
As for Chuys, I sometimes go to the one on I-35 in San Antonio. If I still lived in El Paso I would never go to a Chuys, but so far it's the only place that I've seen in this city that has chile in their enchilada sauce. Here green enchiladas are made with tomatillo sauce (sacrilege!) and there are no such things as red enchiladas- enchiladas are topped with "gravy" (WTF) instead.
