L & J Cafe truly lives up to its stellar reputation! 🇲🇽✨ The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a cozy, historic charm that screams El Paso. I ordered the Mexican Combination Plate, and it was a flavor bomb - each bite was better than the last!

Our server, Susana, was attentive and added a personal touch, making us feel right at home. The coffee with cinnamon was an interesting twist, though I prefer my java black.

Parking can be a bit tricky, so plan ahead! I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! 🌮💕
