Abstract
El Paso, TX and Ciudad Juarez (Mex) is one of the busiest borders and ports of entry in the US. During the current pandemic, COVID-19 brought and adding the closure of the border brought a strong and negative impact on the restaurant industry. More than impacting only businesses, there is history, culture, and so much more that has been affected. Different types of aids (financial or example) had helped the industry, but only to a certain level. There is so much more that needs to be done to be able to fully recover within the next few years. This research considers what people, owners, employees, and government departments are currently doing to strengthen the future of the restaurant sector.
