KROD-AM (El Paso, TX)

We talk about it all the time, but Texas really is spoiled when it comes to great Mexican food. From small hole-in-the-wall spots to legendary restaurants that have been around for decades, there seems to be a fantastic option everywhere you turn. And that's what makes this question nearly impossible to answer: What is the best Mexican restaurant in Texas? You could spend years traveling across the Lone Star State trying different restaurants and still probably never settle the debate.

Another season of Dallas Cowboys football is here, and so are Dallas Cowboys Touchdown Getaways powered by Miller Lite and 915 Tours. It's your chance to win tickets to home games, along with some awesome perks.

I've camped in Ruidoso. I've camped in Cloudcroft. I've even camped at Southwest University Park! But there's one place I've never crossed off my camping list, and it's been right here in El Paso this entire time: Ascarate Park. As someone who loves camping, the idea of pitching a tent at Ascarate has always sounded pretty cool to me. And this September, El Paso families actually have a chance to do it.

There are plenty of places around El Paso where you can grab a drink with a view, but how many of them let you sip a cocktail in the former home of a Hollywood legend? High above Downtown El Paso, there's a rooftop bar where the views stretch across the Borderland, the cocktails come with a little Old Hollywood inspiration and the walls have one heck of a story to tell. Welcome to La Perla.

In some El Paso families, Sunday morning comes with an assignment: Find the pot, because somebody is going to get menudo! If you've ever been the person sent out early on a Sunday morning with an empty pot in hand, you already know exactly what I'm talking about. I've made the menudo run plenty of times myself. And there's something wonderfully normal about walking into a restaurant half awake, possibly still in your pajamas, handing over your pot and heading straight back home once it's full.

Homecoming season is here, which in Texas means it's also time for one of our most wonderfully over-the-top traditions: homecoming mums! And if you haven't seen one lately, we're not exactly talking about a flower pinned to your shirt anymore. Today's mums can have layers of ribbon, stuffed animals, lights, bells and just about anything else you can figure out how to attach to one. They're basically wearable works of art.

For a long time, hobbies like Dungeons & Dragons and live-action role-playing came with a certain stereotype. They were nerdy. Niche. Maybe not something you'd admit you spent your weekend doing unless you knew you were among your people. But somewhere along the way, fantasy role-playing went mainstream.

If I had a One Wish Willow, I know exactly what I'd wish for. Seriously. I wouldn't need time to think about it. I wouldn't call anyone for advice or make a pros-and-cons list. One wish. Done. But after seeing what some other El Pasoans would wish for, I'm starting to feel like maybe I should've thought a little harder about mine. If you've seen the movie Obsession, you already know where this idea came from. At the center of the movie is a mysterious object called the One Wish Willow.

(Irving, Texas) For 35 years, gamers have been playing Sonic the Hedgehog on their gaming consoles to free his animal friends, stop Doctor Eggman's machines, and collect emeralds along the way. Now, the music and history of the game will come to life on stage at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas, on Thursday, October 8. The new show brings the beloved video game to life.

El Paso has made many friends in the music world; one of the closest we've had were the guys in Pantera. Whenever they rolled through town, we made sure to have a good time with them. El Paso has history with the boys from Arlington, whether it was at the show or backstage. Here's a look back at how many times the boys in Pantera came to El Paso. Oh yeah; way before Pantera became the metal legends the world knows, they would roll through town during the Terry Glaze days.
