A
Frida’s
Juárez’ most beautiful dining room is full of art (including dozens of portraits of its eponymous artist) and red velvet booths. The food, a mix of Mexican and Continental, probably won’t wow you as much as the decor, but most people leave satisfied.

Mercado Juárez
In the souvenir supercenter of Mercado Juárez there are seemingly endless rows of all the usual items (blankets, jewelry, cheese, pottery, wrestling masks), but if you look long enough you will find some quality crafts in the mix.

Kentucky Club
This polished-wood bar is a fine place to sip a margarita. While the club's claim to have invented that particular cocktail sounds like a publicity ploy, they do make a great one. Classier than most other Av Juárez watering holes.

Museo Histórico de Ciudad Juárez
The grand old customs building, dating from 1889, now houses the Museo Histórico de Ciudad Juárez with a few rather flat and unimpressive exhibits (labeled in Spanish) and some fantastic old photographs.

Restaurant Impala
The menu, with its cryptic English translations, covers all the usuals, but the massive breakfast platters (around $59) with favorites from both sides of the border set this simple hotel restaurant apart.
