What is El Paso Known For? The city of El Paso is called “Sun City” because on average, it has 302 days of sun every year. El Paso is known for it’s delicious Tex-Mex cuisine and because it’s a border town to Juarez, Mexico.

The nickname stems from the popularity of the Pachuco zoot suit style that is said to have originated in the El Paso-Juárez area in the 1930s, a news release said. “Chuco is my heart,” said Mateo “El San Roman,” who was dressed in a uniquely styled zoot suit. “It’s me; it’s my identity.”
