The 8 Most Instagrammable Places in El Paso
From the outside, the El Maida Shrine Coliseum might not look like one of the most Instagrammable places in El Paso. But inside lies a spectacle unlike much else in El Paso. It’s the current home of New Era Wrestling’s epic lucha libre company, which is massively popular in El Paso. Lucha libre is known for its wrestlers donning wild masks, brandishing colorful personalities, and kicking up insane drama. And to say that about a professional wrestling genre should tell you something!
This high-energy tradition of Mexican wrestling is alive and living large in El Paso. That makes this one of the few places in the United States you can see it really done right. And trust us: it’s well worth Instagramming.
If you’re looking for the most Instagrammable places in El Paso, you could do much worse than a professional photo studio. Railyard Studio is one of the best. And it’s not just one of the best in El Paso — it’s one of the best anywhere.
Located in the historic Hussman Building in the heart of the warehouse district, this full-service photography studio has ample natural light and stylish minimalist décor. Each room and corner has its own look and feel, allowing for a number of different photo options in the same session. The owners are talented and personable. You can either use the space to do your own photography or lean on them to take the shots and focus on being the best model/influencer/superstar you can be.
5. Have a cold one at Love Buzz and strike a pose in front of its perfectly vintage exterior
Love Buzz is a dive bar with live music, a retro aesthetic, and quality tacos. What’s not to love? Expect a lot of killer local bands, dancing youth, and sensational drink specials. We’d call Love Buzz one of the most Instagrammable places in El Paso because we’re in love with the exterior, with its vintage El Paso vibe and just the right amount of grit.
In addition, Love Buzz has an expansive and comfortable patio area, perfect for sunny brunch pics or good times in the evening under the hip string lights. Have a fantastic time and post about your experience — half of the fun of Instagram is about stoking #FOMO in others, isn’t it?
6. Get a little culture in your feed at the El Paso Museum of Art
In 1959, the Samuel Kress Foundation donated a collection of European Baroque and Renaissance art to the city. The El Paso Museum of Art (EPMA) was born to house this seed collection. Some might be surprised to learn that El Paso is home to such a repository of Renaissance art, but it’s true!
Over the years, that collection has grown to include over 7,000 works. The EPMA is also home to its own art school, so the complex truly feels like the thriving, living center of artistic development that it is. Anywhere within its confines you pose for a picture will be epic.
