Signatures · checked 2026-09-03
El Paso happy hour has a house style: a margarita or a draft, then tacos. These are the signature sips and bites the venues themselves print on their own pages — with prices only where the bar published them.
Sips the houses name
Unbranded Tavern & Kitchen downtown posts Tue–Wed & Fri–Sun 2–7 plus all day Monday and Thursday: $3 wells, $3.5 domestic draft, $5 wine glasses, $5 house margaritas, and $5 mimosas. Taft-Díaz in the Stanton House posts Daily 4–6 in the bar and lounge: half off well house spirits, half off wines by the glass, and $5 draft beer. Kona Grill El Paso posts Mon–Tue all day, Wed–Fri 2–6, and every night 9–close: a $3 | $6 | $9 Social Hour with a $3 shot of saké and a $6 Kona Margarita. Gomez Mexican Food Bar & Patio on the Westside posts Mon–Fri 3–6: on draft 16 oz $4, 23 oz $5, and red beer setup $4.50.
Bites worth crossing the street for
Unbranded posts $2 off appetizers — a discount shape, not an item price, so read the menu. Taft-Díaz posts tacos 3 for $15 in the bar and lounge, daily 4–6. Kona's Social Hour bites print at the bands: $3 potstickers, $6 Kona sliders, $9 signature sushi rolls. Gomez prints the most itemized starter list on the Westside: house chile con queso $6.50, house nachos $5.75, quesadilla $5.25, jalapeño poppers $5.95, and empanadas $6.95.
