5 ways to celebrate in El Paso
It’s National Cheese Lover’s Day, folks! And did you know there are more than 1,800 kinds of cheese worldwide?
Of course, around these parts, we love some cheddar cheese on hamburgers, White American for a Philly Cheesesteak, and Muenster for a cheesy quesadilla. Now that your mouth is watering, here are some ways to get some cheesy concoctions in El Paso.

If you want variety with your cheese, then head on over to Cheezus at 210 N. Stanton St. The little eatery, open since April of 2021, has a menu that focuses on various types of grilled cheeses, mac and cheese, and cheesy fries, starring some popular fromage like mozzarella, cheddar, gouda and even a vegan cheese sauce.
Cheezus makes a scrumptious mac and cheese called the College Kid, ($8). It’s topped with toasted panko, jalapeño, thick cut bacon pieces and honey chipotle BBQ sauce.
