Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 0.3 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of El Paso instead of crossing town between them. Weso Steakhouse is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Anson 11 — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples and solo who want a planned El Paso outing without improvising between stops.
