Juarez Bars, from the Torta-slingin’ Strip to EP

There is a few bars that some of us at The ‘Cadoan frequented in our youthful days, those bars were in Juarez of course; when we were still too young to drink in El Paso.

We are starting to notice something, though. A few of these bars with the same names are opening in El Paso. We do not dare try to find out if the original establishments are still open across the border, drug warfare and all of that. We would rather not take our chances. It is not a coincidence that these bars are popping up, it is just odd that nobody is talking about it.

The bars:

  • The News
  • 33 (”Treinta y Tres”)
  • Pockets
  • Es Tragos

There is probably more than we know of. If you have info email us at staff@avocadoan.com.
