El Paso is a special town. Because it is not only located right next to the border between Texas and New Mexico, but also near the one between the United States and Mexico. Ciudad Juárez is the Mexican city that lies on the other side of the border, formed by the river Rio Grande. Thanks to its location, El Paso is famous for its (Texan) Mexican food.
