Elemi Takes Texas Monthly By Storm
Description
El Paso’s Elemi just earned major acclaim, landing on Texas Monthly’s top 25 new or improved spots in the state — a huge win for owners Emiliano and Kristal Marentes, who’ve expanded their culinary empire with a flagship spot in Horizon City and a buzzy taqueria on the West Side. Praised for creative tacos and nixtamalized corn tortillas, the duo blends deep-rooted Mexican traditions — like importing heirloom corn and mastering ancient masa techniques — with bold, modern flavors. Raised near tortillerias and shaped by border-town food culture, they’re redefining El Paso’s dining scene, all while earning James Beard nominations and turning local tables into taste sensations.
