On Sunday, couple-friends of mine, “Laura” and “Wayne,” picked me up so we could go to Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino to listen to mariachi bands.
Laura and Wayne met at one of the hiking meetups in the area a few years ago. They got married last year! Shortly before I moved away from El Paso in 2017, they took me and a mutual friend to White Sands for an evening hike. What a gift that was.
At Sunland, the three of us watched little girls and boys practice their burgeoning dance skills to the mariachi beats.

While chatting with Laura and Wayne, nursing a drink, there were so many visual tapas to savor: the mariachi band within, and outside: mountains, the race track with running horses, an ambulance that followed the horses on an outside track, a lagoon with a fountain, and a sapphire sky.
For dinner, Laura and Wayne took me to a Mexican ramen restaurant – a fusion of Mexican and Japanese cuisine. Scrumptious. Come in!

The restaurant, called El Cuartito (the little room), is aptly named, as it is in a tiny room with a small bar; the entire place might seat 10 people.
