When I lived here eight years ago, El Paso was the don when it came to pork ribs....I still use it as my standard. I'm constantly looking for the best ribs in America. "I've got to stand for something!" I've been to Kansas City and Memphis but I still come back to El Paso. Until I get proven otherwise, it's still my #1.
The ribs are the "fall off the bone" variety. And what I like about El Paso is their ribs "glisten!" Great word, huh! Some rib places bake them or grill them and then slather them with sauce just before they serve it. Now there are some styles of ribs that use rubs which usually don't have sauces, but if you're looking for the glistening kind, then try El Paso.
I don't work there and can't tell you their exact methods but if you're looking for great ribs, El Paso is the place. Now...since I've moved back to Scottsdale, yes their prices have gone up and I noticed their portions aren't as big, but they're still the best I've had. There are a couple of places in town that are very close. Look for their reviews on my profile. El Paso isn't usually filled so the food usually gets to you fairly quickly and I like their jalopena corn bread as well. Not as good as Boston Market's but good. It's got a slightly sweet outside texture and warm inside, great with butter! mmmmm
