West Texas Chophouse is a steakhouse and bar at 1135 Airway Blvd in East-Central El Paso, a short drive from El Paso International Airport. Locals come for Texas steaks with a Mexican accent, and travelers come because it’s close to the terminal.
The kitchen builds its menu on “Texas steaks with a hint of Mexican twist,” drawing on the border city’s culinary traditions. Prime cuts lead the menu, with burgers, sandwiches, seafood, a kids’ menu and weekday lunch specials alongside them (MenuPages). The contemporary dining room has dressed tables, and the bar suits a client dinner or a date night. Diners at the sister Palmas location praise the aged steaks. Reviews of the Airway location are more mixed. Its 536 OpenTable reviews include complaints about slow table service during busy shifts (OpenTable).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
The restaurant is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 AM to 10 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to 11 PM (official site). Weekend dinners between 6 and 8 PM fill up fastest, so book ahead on OpenTable or call 915.775.2467. A weekday lunch is the quieter, cheaper way to try the steaks. The Airway Boulevard address works well for a pre-flight meal or a business dinner near the airport hotels. If you’re staying on the West Side, consider the Palmas location instead.
