EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Malolam Cantina will be closing its doors after serving the El Paso area for 11 years, according to a social media post on Saturday, Nov. 15.
The cantina, located at 5001 N Mesa St., was a popular bar spot for locals and served brunch, “El Bruncho”, every Sunday. It featured an outdoor patio and hosted many bands and live entertainment acts.
“After 11 unforgettable years, we’ve made the difficult decision to close. As we look back, what stands out most isn’t the food, the drinks, or the late nights – it’s you.
“To our loyal guests, friends, neighbors, and everyone who ever walked through our doors: thank you. Thank you for choosing us for your celebrations, your weeknights, your graduations, and all the moments in between. You helped create an energy and a spirit that made this place more than your typical bar— you made it a part of El Paso.
“While this chapter is coming to an end for us, it’s not the end for the space. We’re proud to share that we are handing Malolam over to someone new, who will be giving it a fresh remodel and reopening soon. We’re excited to see the next evolution and grateful that the spirit of this place will continue in the community we love.
“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the love, the support, and the last 11 years. El Paso, you’ll always be home.”
