On a recent trip to El Paso, we had to visit the original Rosa’s Cantina from Marty Robbins’ song “El Paso.” The restaurant/bar is definitely old, but the interior is very clean and welcoming. The food and service were both commendable. If you’re down this way, do yourself a favor and check out this piece of history.
Great place to go after hiking Mount Christo Rey. Great pub environment with friendly waitresses. Food is rich and more Texan Mexican style, rather than simple grills. I did feel a bit overwhelmed and too rich after finishing.
This is a great classic place...this is the original Rosa's Cantina from the marty robbins song el paso. Great tacos and flautas! Great beer and great service and atmosphere. Lots of marty robbins things around too. This is a nice bar..so fo visit a piece of history.
“Just went head-to-head with the famous Martha burrito at Rosa’s Cantina — and let me tell you, Bertha don’t play. That beast came loaded with flavor, heat, and attitude. I walked in hungry and walked out humbled, full, and smiling. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and take on Bertha. Highly recommend.”
Incredible place and better people. I was working in the west Texas town of El Paso so of course I had to stop in here and was glad I did. A true local bar where they treat visitors like family. I was only there a few times that week but shared a beer or two with good people like Albert, Alexandro, Mundo and others. Words can't do it justice just go see for yourself. You will be glad you did.

Where history meets flavor in the heart of El Paso.
