The Netflix series put El Paso and the city’s local talent at the center.

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

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

Carrera added that he hopes “Tex-Mex Motors” will highlight a different El Paso than what people typically see in the news.

“I want to see more positive things happen for the Borderland cause, more jobs created, and the world seeing us for who we really are. Getting rid of this bad stigma that’s attached to us. That way we can shed light on a ‘dark place’ that outsiders see that way, you know what I mean,” Carrera explained.

The series not only highlights the restoration of cars along the border, but also the interest of El Paso residents in acquiring a vintage car.
