Reviews
"This beautiful home was created by Mexican immigrant Rufino Loya Revis from 1973 until he passed in 2022. He worked for Levi Strauss and could not afford a palace for his wife so he purchased the squat modest "horrible" home and promised to create a place worthy of his love. Boy did he!! He taught himself all the skills necessary, worked tirelessly and created a masterpiece. In his works he wanted to honor his homeland of Mexico, his new home of El Paso and his love for the Lord. His designs, creations, colors and creativity are all displayed in a modest neighborhood of small houses on a corner lot that is visible from the highway. If you are ever in the El Paso area this is a must see before it's gone. The creator, master, artist and devoted husband passed away in August 2022 and the future is uncertain for Casa de Azucar."

"It is a house just beside a road. Can do a parallel parking because there is no specific parking spot. When I was there it’s closed so took a quick spot to take some pictures and videos. It’s definitely beautiful and close to downtown. I recommend visiting this place."
"What a cool little house! I think the artist has built all this for his wife. What an amazing gift that has been a work in progress for decades!"
"This place spells dedication. Lots and lots of time and patience to make this place beautiful. Its a private home. We parked outside and took pictures. Just be mindful of the dog of the neighbor in the opposite side. Kind of big.."
