Mind blowing place to experience!…read more Ok, so right off the base, you are hit with this extravagant looking manor with transcendent looking lights and tall gated entrances and tall stands with fire in them. Beautifully decorated hostess stand area with flower bouquets and all kinds of floral accents. Getting to this entrance was a bit of a hassle with either finding parking that's not too far on the streets or waiting in a bit of a line for valet. At least valet is included with your ticket that you purchase in order to attend any of their events. This night also had one complimentary glass of wine, red or white. I went on their Italian night themed events, which included an endless serving of pasta that you mix and match on these cards they give you. Each time you finish a plate, you can get another card and pick your next combo. It does take a while to finally get your next plate though, so you may want to anticipate that. I highly recommend their alfredo or bolognese sauces! I wasn't a fan of their pesto nor their vegetable pasta, which proved to be a veggie based pasta. We ended up being on the 2nd floor which served to be a bit of a hassle for either waiting on food or retrieving your self serve salad or dessert, which were downstairs. We made our way down for some antipasta and decided to hold off on bringing up desserts because we didn't want to crowd the table. Well, we soon found out that we should have grabbed it while the taking was good... meaning, all those lovely looking desserts that we saw at the beginning were absolutely GONE. We got lucky that they happen to bring out these other random finger desserts like a blondie or lemon tart or small cuts of cheesecake. So that was a bit of a bummer. You will definitely get a kick out of touring the manor as they had multiple different themed rooms. I absolutely ADORED their bridal themed one and they had this killer Chinese New Year one. Best part was their apparent "secret tour" which led you upstairs to a third floor where they had a billiard and bar lounge. Supposedly it's a bit haunted too so the employee who brought us up there said he never goes up there by himself. Neat right?! lol Highly highly recommend this experience! Just make sure you take head all my advice for parking, nabbing desserts ahead of time, and anticipating your next round of pasta! so get a table downstairs basically lol.

They always run out of product by about 9-10 am on weekends and 9:30-10:30 am on weekdays. It seems that the owners are extremely adverse to have overstock and would rather limit their sales and service to a fixed amount and content with their amount of sales. If that's the case, they should just close earlier rather than stay open to disappointed customers and start to hurt their reputation. Maybe their strategy is to cause an urgency in early buying but it doesn't make logical business sense. When any business gets comfortable limiting their product like this, it only opens an opportunity for a competitor to take customers and eventually drive less aggressive operators out of business. I hope they take heed and react project customer traffic and production to meet the demand and opportunity of a growing customer base and continue to succeed.

Spontaneous meetup alert! Today, we had an amazing time at Wonderfruit Pomegranate Farm in Socorro,…read moreTexas with the De La Story boys. We missed you, Exploring Paso! This charming farm is nestled past the freeway, amidst the sprawling housing developments. It's truly heartwarming to witness this little farm standing tall in the face of rapid development. Patricia and her husband have been nurturing this farm for over 7 years. Her husband hails from Sinaloa and boasts impressive agricultural knowledge. A few years ago, Patricia transitioned to cultivating pomegranates due to their resilience to drought. Did you know that pomegranate trees are self-pollinating? That means you don't need separate male and female trees. Wonderfruit boasts around 700 pomegranate trees and even has a fantastic horse riding school. By the way, their riding school is a national championship school, especially for levels two and three. Besides pomegranates, they also have quarter horses and other magnificent steeds, as they operate as a breeding farm too. Being on the farm takes you on a journey of appreciation for the countryside. The tranquil and pristine surroundings transport you, despite the ongoing development in the area. Small farms like Wonderfruit deserve our unwavering support. To share the wonder of their exceptional fruit, they organize fabulous festivals. I first heard about their festival when I arrived in El Paso, but alas, it was canceled due to COVID. But guess what? The festival is making a grand comeback this year, and it's going to be bigger and better than ever! Imagine tons of free activities for the kids, delightful food trucks, a farm-to-table event, arts and crafts, games, thrilling horse rides, and more. Since it's a small farm, they'll be hosting the festival right at their house. Their aim is to unite the community and showcase their fruit, which has been carefully chosen and certified by the USDA for optimal ripeness. Patricia shared her fascinating knowledge about picking pomegranates. To determine if a pomegranate is ripe, look at the shape on the bottom. Circular means it's not quite ready, but if it's a hexagon or square shape, the juicy arils (seed sacs) are ripe and ready to be savored. Picking pomegranates is a delightful experience, and Patricia also demonstrated how to extract the fruit. Of course, my favorite part was indulging in the delicious pomegranate seeds. They also press the pomegranates to create fresh juice, which is simply fantastic. Pro tip: use scissors/shears to cut the stem, leaving a little attached to the fruit, and your pomegranates can last up to 3 months in the fridge. And here's a fun fact: you can use every part of the pomegranate, including the peel, which they dehydrate to make a tasty tea. Did you know that pomegranates are considered superfruits? They're bursting with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C. Throughout history, pomegranates have been cherished for their medicinal properties, and now they're gaining recognition as a superfood in North America. The powerful antioxidants in pomegranate seeds, called polyphenols, are believed to promote heart health and offer anti-cancer benefits. I've had the pleasure of savoring countless pomegranates since one of my exes is Persian, and they incorporate the fruit in so many creative ways, including stews. Right here in El Paso, I was fortunate enough to try Chiles en Nogada, a delightful dish featuring pomegranates. We picked up a bunch of pomegranates from Wonderfruit, and I can't wait to share them with friends and family. It fills me with pride to have such incredible fruit and produce available in a region often deemed an arid desert. Wonderfruit Farm is defying all expectations! -TODOELPASO
