The Netflix series highlighted El Paso and the city’s local talent.

“Tex-Mex Motors” follows two car enthusiasts searching for undervalued cars in Mexico to then restore and sell in the United States.

Marcos “Scooter” Carrera, one of the creators and stars of the show, hopes the series will bring more positive projects to the Borderland.

Carrera added he hopes “Tex-Mex Motors” will highlight a different El Paso than what people are used to hearing on the news.

“I want more positive things to come to the Borderland cause that translates to more jobs, to the world to see us the way we really are, to get rid of that bad stigma that we have so this is a way to shine a light on a ‘darkened place,’ that outsiders see it like that, you know what I’m saying,” Carrera explained.

The series not only highlights the restoration of cars along the border but also the interest from local El Pasoans to get their hands on a classic car.
