Vote & Nominate Food City in Best of El Paso & Best of the Border
It’s that time of year again – two major community awards are open, and we need your support to help Food City shine!
Rooted in the heart of the community for over fifty years, Food City’s story began in 1964 when José Santos opened the first store, El Rancho Mart. In 1972, the flagship Food City store was established, and today, we continue to serve the Borderland with authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican pastries, flour tortillas, and traditional favorites like carnitas, barbacoa, burritos, and more. The best traditions never grow old!
