If I was young, sexy, and looking for the hottest up-and-coming neighborhood in El Paso (and who says I'm not?) there is one neighborhood that's a 'bop': Monticello.
The longtime El Paso entrepreneurs behind Hillside Coffee & Donut Co., Cantina Malolam, and many other local hot spots are opening two new Crave Kitchen & Bar locations.
Octavio Gomez, Nick Salgado and Rudy Valdes say the new restaurants will open in the coming months at 2660 N. Zaragoza in Far East and at 145 Sunset on the Westside.
The Zaragoza restaurant will open this month, Salgado told El Paso Inc. The Westside location will open in February in the Substation shopping center.
âThe Eastside is growing so much, and the density over there felt right,â Salgado said. âWe do well at Rojas and the Fountains, and we go where the people are. Itâs such a busy street.â
