The story
The name says it all. 1700° Steakhouse takes its identity from the intense temperature at which a great steak is seared — the kind of heat that produces a proper crust, a caramelized exterior, and the depth of flavor that defines serious steakhouse cooking. Located at 10 Henry Trost in El Paso, Texas, the restaurant sits at a genuinely singular crossroads, serving guests on the US-Mexico border with the ambition of a destination dining room.
In 2024, Wine Spectator granted 1700° Steakhouse its Award of Excellence — a distinction that signals not just a wine list with good bottles, but one curated with enough range, depth, and pairing intelligence to complement a steakhouse menu done right. For guests who take their Cabernet as seriously as their cut, that recognition matters.
1700° Steakhouse is a dinner destination. The steakhouse format here is the main event — the kind of evening built around a well-chosen cut, a considered pour, and a room that takes the ritual of a proper dinner seriously. Whether you're crossing from Ciudad Juárez or driving in from across El Paso, the combination of culinary focus and awarded wine program makes this one of the more compelling steakhouse options in the region.
