The Fiesta Drive-In was opened on February 7, 1950 with Bob Hope in “The Paleface”. On October 9, 1981 it went over to screening adult movies with “Little Girls Blue” & “Intimate Illusions”. It is listed as only the second operating drive-in showing adult movies. The other being the Apache Drive-In in Tyler, Texas. This drive-in has a capacity for 500 cars.

I am pleased to report that the Fiesta Theater, currently an outdoor movie theater showing porn, has converted to digital projection.
Wow. Digital Projection, huh? Man, they are moving up in the world. Nice!
Did this theater do enough business to warrant the conversion to video projectors?
In a 2015 article in the UTEP student newspaper, The Prospector, the Fiesta manager says it “has two motion picture screens with a maximum capacity for 500 cars.” Looking at Google Earth images, I can’t find a second screen.

Originally opened on 7th February 1950 with 2 color cartoons(not named?) and “Paleface”.
Opened on 9th October 1981 with ‘Little girls blue" and “Intimate illusions”.
This became the last adult drive-in in America since the Apache Drive-In at Tyler closed on March 9, 2023.
Upgraded a street view of the drive-in, they added two indoor screens by 2024. Mark this as 3 screens.
