Chico's Tacos

Long considered a local institution in El Paso, it is perhaps the city's best-known restaurant, having been featured in the Food Network show The Best Thing I Ever Ate.

Chico's has entered into local legend for its rolled tacos in a special tomato soup-like sauce,[3] as well as its low prices.

The restaurant also serves crinkle cut fries, which some say taste best with Chico's special tomato sauce and a topping of cheese.

As a result of the incident, police chief Greg Allen announced that all officers department-wide would undergo more extensive sensitivity and anti-discrimination training.
