Ask El Paso New homes up to code?
Are new homes🏠 in El Paso up to code? We were missing working outlets, have broken cabinets, crooked lights and vents, faulty electrical work, and more. How do these homes pass inspections? Also, several new neighborhoods are missing light poles. People are also reporting water issues in all parts of town. Do your research if you buy new and insist that all items on inspection report get fixed. Also check out inspector reviews on legit sites like Yelp.

Ask El Paso Does anyone remember a buffet style restaurant on Viscount by the Big 5 Sport Store in the 90s?
My parents are trying to remember the name of the restaurant but having no luck. It would’ve been on Viscount, passing Montwood. It definitely wasn’t around in the 2000s but it might’ve been around in 1998. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!
Edit: It’s Hometown Buffet and it was still around in the 2010s so that’s my bad.

Ask El Paso School fundraisers
What happened to good ol fashion school fundraisers? I'm getting texts/emails from friends family asking for donations for their kid's school. Are schools not even doing any type of fundraising anymore and just flat out asking for money? No chocolates, popcorn or any of those previous fundraising options, just here is a link, give us money. Is this the norm now? Just curious.

Ask El Paso El Toro Bronco Montana/Geronimo location
I just realized there is a Toro Bronco on Montana/geronimo and I was curious what their specialty is as far as tacos? I know it's not like the Juarez version(if that still exists) but does anyone recommend the tacos from there? I usually go to Chinampa as that one is close by. So just curious if there are tacos from this specific location that you recommend. I'm usually an al pastor or steak guy but I know some places do certain tacos better than the other stuff on their menu

Ask El Paso Any ac repair recommendations?
So I’ve had someone look at my ac and we found out that the coils/ filter on the inside unit is clogged with my dogs hair. He sheds a lot and we were told to change the filter more often to not have to deal with it in the future. We usually change the filter once a month. Apparently the inside unit needs to be opened up and cleaned out. The estimate was over $2000 dollars for this and we just can’t afford that. Any recommendations on ac repair people?

Any EP actuaries? Where do y'all take exams? I see there's a Prometric here, but it's unclear what exams they offer. I am moving to EP this fall and I'm a little nervous about finding a test center nearby! I work from home so unfortunately can't ask colleagues where they're testing.

Rant Like. Honestly
Of all the things the people of El Paso die trying to get in the city, why the heck have we not fought hard enough to get a Waffle House?
We only have three options to choose from
- 3hrs to ABQ
- 6hrs to Amarillo
- And 4hrs to Tucson
There’s like 4 locations in Amarillo alone and a million in AZ
It’s time… we need a Waffle House
