El Paso Steakhouse Serves 'Em as Big as Texas

In tasting the culinary delights that El Paso has to offer, my wife and I have dined at the Cattleman's Steakhouse about 35 miles east of downtown El Paso...twice. I will explain later. The first time was to try out their legendary TWO POUND T-bone steak. It had to be the best we ever devoured. Speaking of devouring, we were able to see several coyotes come right up to the windows while we ate. With large glass windows all around, the restaurant staff puts out scraps for the coyotes early each evening.

The ranch includes many other animals that are on display including Texas Longhorns, Buffalo, deer, Belgian team horses and others. There is even a real rattlesnake pit. Oh, and don't forget to take a walk around the lake, see an old gristmill, and an Indian maze. Kids will enjoy taking a hayride and the Fort Apache playground. The property also includes movie sets, where films such as "Lone Wolf McQuade", "Extreme Prejudice", and "Courage Under Fire" were made.

If you're ever in El Paso don't miss out on this eventful dining experience, and tell them Southpoint sent you. The restaurant is located at Indian Cliffs Ranch. Come a few hours early to take all the sights in before dining at Cattleman's, all free for restaurant patrons to enjoy. Oh, and our second visit? It was to try out the massive, finger licking barbeque ribs dinner...
