Elemi is a true hidden gem located in downtown El Paso off of Kansas and Mills. The restaurant owned by El Pasoans Emiliano and Kristal Marentes offers unique eats and flavors inspired by the border and our Mexican culture. The restaurant’s menu varies but always offers delicious selections, including various vegetarian and meat tacos and some of the most delicious brussels sprouts I've ever had.
It's no secret that our city offers some of the best food around, so it’s refreshing to see that the national spotlight keeps recognizing our unique border cuisine.
