The Queen of Tejano may be gone, but her legacy is loud and proud, especially here in the Borderland- and now El Paso is having a moment in the brand-new Netflix Selena documentary.<\/p>\n
Selena performed in our city many times before her tragic death, so it shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that El Paso shows up in the film. But that hasn\u2019t stopped fans from absolutely loving our unexpected cameo.<\/p>\n
The Selena Y Los Dinos Doc On Netflix<\/p>\n
Netflix\u2019s new Selena documentary dives deep into her rise, her music, and the way her legacy continues to shape Latinx pop culture. It\u2019s full of rare footage, intimate interviews, and emotional home videos that hit fans right in the heart.<\/p>\n
But for some El Pasoans, one clip stood out immediately.<\/p>\n
Does El Paso Pop Up in the Netflix Selena Documentary?<\/p>\n
A short scene- just a few seconds long- has been circulating on many social media platforms, with viewers realizing: that\u2019s El Paso!<\/p>\n
The clip shows a street-level view from a moving vehicle, and the moment it surfaced, the Borderland did what it always does: zoom in, pause, rewind, debate, and launch into a full-blown community investigation. Because if there\u2019s one thing El Paso excels at, it\u2019s identifying a location based on a single brick wall and a vague memory from the \u201890s.<\/p>\n
Viewers Debate Which El Paso Spot Appears in the Selena Doc<\/p>\n
Fans across the Sun City began playing detective, with most of the theories centered on the Sunland Park area on the Westside. One local wrote, \u201cPretty sure this clip in the Selena documentary on Netflix is from the point of view of where the Red Lobster on Sunland Park is now. Thought that was fun. Can anyone confirm?\u201d<\/p>\n
El Paso cameo in the Selena documentary.<\/a> Almost instantly, others chimed in with their own memories. Someone simply replied, \u201cBlack Eyed Pea?\u201d which triggered a wave of nostalgia. Another person jumped in and said, \u201cOh yeah! I forgot we had those here. The brick wall and awning matches the aesthetic of The Black Eyed Pea.\u201d<\/p>\n
