Juarez Restaurant Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another shot of the same restaurant uploaded previously. I liked the musicians atop the roof & the bright colours.

"Ciudad Juárez, also known as just Juárez and formerly known as El Paso del Norte, is a city and seat of the municipality of Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Juárez has an estimated population of 1.5 million people. It stands on the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte), across the U.S. border from El Paso, Texas. El Paso and Ciudad Juárez comprise one of the largest binational metropolitan areas in the world with a combined population of 2.5 million people. In fact, Ciudad Juárez is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. For instance, a few years ago, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas published that in Ciudad Juárez “the average annual growth over the 10-year period [1990-2000] was 5.3 percent. Juárez experienced much higher population growth than the state of Chihuahua and than Mexico as a whole.”

Hi Chris! All of Mexico in this frame interesting note I read for the two addresses for me they impressed - la fiesta del pueblo- (Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, El Pueblo presents the largest Latin American festival in the Carolinas.) - Ciudad Juárez- (the exquisite restaurants of Ciudad Juárez, describing them as places that offer “the old-school bon-vivant elegance of Mexico as well as some excellent culinary innovation la fiasta del pueblo).
Many I learned? Thanks
Georgios

Chris,
I can almost here the music and smell of the food kicking my nose. I love Mexican food though it can be really unhealthy to eat, and that why we love it :) Very cheerful and inviting. The sunshine, the musics, the atmoshphere, you got it all. the restaurant should thank you for this advertisement.
