It had been several years since my husband and I went to Chope's so we decided to try it again on Friday. We were surprised that there were several tables available at 5 'til noon on Friday, but after we had a seat the rest of the tables quickly filled up.

Chope's came with a strong recommendation from RoadFood.com, so we stopped in there for lunch while driving from El Paso to Las Cruces. Unfortunately, we both felt that, compared to the New Mexican food we had had at several other places in southern New Mexico, the food at Chope's was rather bland. The ground beef in my gordita was dry... more
