Tired of the same old, same old when it comes to food, dinks and/or things to do? Cornudas, Texas … about 60 miles from El Paso … makes a great and fun day trip.

Cornudas, Texas is east of El Paso via US-180/US 62 E., Don’t let the numbers throw you off, just get on Montana and head east ’til you see Cornudas.

Cornudas isn’t just a restaurant. it’s a whole town that went up for sale back in 2023. Now, it’s a great destination spot for delicious food, good times, concerts, special events and more.

What’s In Cornudas, Texas?

Cornudas has lots to offer but the food is the best part. After a nice, mellow cruise with family, your sweetie and/or your dog; you’ll find some tasty rewards in Cornudas. My own, personal favorite is the double green chili cheeseburger, Sooooo good.

You can do a salad or have a delicious breakfast. It’s all pretty inexpensive, check out the menu here. Maybe, juuuuuust maybe; you could try the Texas Money Pizza. (Yes, there’s really money on it),
