EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — In this week’s episode of Que Pasa, Destination El Paso’s Lauren Falco, and KTSM’s Karla Draksler learned about the influence of Chinese culture on Mexican cuisine embodied in the menu of Chin-Gon-Chow restaurant in East El Paso.
Chin-Go-Chow located at 11360 Montwood Drive is an Asian-fusion taqueria dedicated to preserving the forgotten history of Asian and Native influence on what is nowadays considered traditional Mexican food.
You can find dishes such as Mushu Carnitas which is traditionally served in a type of Chinese “pancake” that translates into a flour tortilla.
