More on Ciudad Juárez
Description from Wikipedia:
Ciudad Juárez, also known as just Juárez and formerly known as 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.”
According to the prestigious magazine América Economía, this border metropolis has always been ranked as one of the best major cities to do business in Latin America. The binational metropolitan area of Ciudad Juárez-El Paso is "ranked 16th in trade among the largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States."
The New York Times has commented on 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.”
