After over a decade of serving up drinks and Sunday brunch to the El Paso community, the beloved Malolam Cantina is closing its doors. The establishment, located at 5001 N Mesa St., has been a fixture for local nightlife, known for its outdoor patio and as a venue for live bands and entertainment. As obtained by KFOX-TV, the cantina announced that it will be handed over to new ownership, who intend to remodel the space and reopen soon.
While the closure marks the end of an era for Malolam, the former owners have expressed their gratitude to their patrons, leaving behind a legacy of community and celebration. As reported by the El Paso Times, they shared a heartfelt message, thanking their loyal guests for creating an "energy and spirit" that made Malolam a genuine part of the community. Assuring that "You'll always be home" to El Paso, the team behind Malolam Cantina promises a future that carries on the spirit of their establishment under new management.
In addition, the cantina's social post, detailing the closure and transition, emphasized the impact of their patrons over the years. "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," the post said, according to KTSM. The message encapsulates the bond between the establishment and its customers, attributing the success not merely to the tangibles like food and drinks, but to the intangible connections made.
