I'm crushed...

One of my favorite spots when visiting El Paso is closing. You just don't get burgers and onion rings like that anymore...

That's a real bummer! That's always one of my stops when I'm back in El Paso. I'm glad I made a stop there over the holidays.

Ehh....over rated IMHO.....I "like" their burgers, but no way I wait in line for hours to get one. I'd rather do Roscos.

A couple rumors out there....

#1 In a month or so, it will reopen under new ownership.
#2 Bobby will sell the land for another strip mall and become richer.

I'm more upset about Nuovo Cappetto myself

Did that place close? If so, good riddance.

Charcoaler will reopen in March with a new owner. Bobby mulling over the offers but stipulation is Charcoaler remains the same including all recipes.

It closed temporarily because of the street car project.

It's permanently closed now: http://www.elpasotimes.com/story/ne...tto-repeats-history-abruptly-closes/97311102/

Owner Ed Davis gave a BS answer that the construction was hurting business.

Shitty Italian food is my guess.

One of the few benefits of living in central El Paso (79930), there are some good burger joints here. Papa, Rosco, Whataburger, and a newer burger joint on Fort Blvd but is more of the gourmet burger variety.

You also have House of Pizza and Kikis in the Dirty 30.

Go to Monteleone's instead. Fun atmosphere; I know the owners and they're good people.

Nobody's forcing you to buy it! I'm glad to know it's still available if the place does actually shut down for good. I hope those rumors posted here about a new owner taking over are true.

I use to enjoy Steve Os when I lived in EP. Delicious burgers.

The food was horrible. I even went back a second time just to confirm that it wasn't just the cook having a bad day. The Nuovo Cappetto's was a poor attempt to recreate the original Cappetto's on Montana. Ed needs to get back to what made his place special years ago.

Puro 79930 here!
