The Mirai Bowl is located at 1765 N Lee Trevino in El Paso, Texas, this is a great place to grab a quick and good lunch if you are in a hurry.

Everything that I have eaten here has not been a disappointment at all. The other day Julio ( my compadre) and I stopped by the Lucero's place (Mirai Bowl) to have lunch. Every time we come here we will try a new dish, so this day we decided to try the Spicy Seafood Udon and the Salmon Teriyaki.

This is the spicy seafood udon, Julio order this for lunch, he said it was very good and spicy.

This is the plate I order for lunch, the salmon teriyaki, and was very good with a mellow taste of sweetness.

The place is always very clean every time we have visited and the Lucero's and their help very attentive.

They also have fresh sushi boxed right to go if you are in a big hurry and short on time.

There prices are very modest and affordable.

So next time you are looking for some good fast food, remember Mirai Bowl Japanese Express, I promise you will not be disappointed.

James and Yong A. Lucero are the owners of Mirai Bowl here in El Paso, Texas, there business phone number is 915 - 591-1005

I forgot to tell you, that they also have a drive up window for orders to go.

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do when I go there for lunch, maybe we will cross paths there one of these days.

This weekend we were invited to one of my son's friend birthday party at Bob-O's. There is a place, that even as a grown up can act like a kid and get away with it.

They have attractions for just about any age there. There is Laser Odyssey, batting cages, 18 Hole miniature golf course, Bumper boat, miniature go-karts, Go-karts, and of course a full array of arcades.

Bob-O's is located on 3851 Constitution off Sunland Park Dr, which is the west side of El Paso. This a cool place to get away with the kids and do something different. Here are some photos.

This the arcade area, many popular games as some of the all time favorites.

Here are the bumper boats and the go-karts ready to take off.

Some areas of the miniature golf course.

One of my favorites is the air hockey tables and of course the prizes.

They have weekly and daily specials one can check online.

This the night scene one would see from Scenic Drive. Its a beauty.

Many young couples still visit Scenic Point as part of a romantic date,

just like their parents and grandparents did.

From this photo one can see the outline of the Border and !-10 Freeway.

Tourists and natives alike use the coin-operated telescopes to magnify a

particular view as they gaze out over two countries and the sparkling night lights.

The area before the construction of Scenic Drive was known as Stormsville,

and the city considered it a public health nuisance. D. Storms, a lawyer,

owned a great deal of land along the rim where about 400 people lived in squalor.

On a clear evening, when millions of city lights shimmer in the distance,

ones hearts will skip a beat or two at the marvels spread before them.

" Who can argue with that? The Best of the Border.
