Within a short drive from our pet-friendly apartments in El Paso there are some of the tastiest spots to take Spot out for dinner.  We have done the research, so make your plans now to get out on the town with the whole family in tow!

Aceitunas Beer Garden
Located at …. Aceitunas Beer Garden is one of our favorite places to sit back with a cold on and dine on a myriad of appetizers to please every pallet.  It’s one of the city’s more casual bars that offers a pet-friendly environment just outside. 

Ripe Eatery
Hands-down, this is one of our favorite places to dine with our furry friends.  We just can’t get enough of their iconic Pecan Crusted Salmon, Swedish Meatballs, and Buttermilk Fried Chicken.  And that’s just the beginning. Come for a burger, overstuffed sandwich or a healthy salad.  Although the food is worth every cent, their passion overflows from the kitchen to its dog-friendly setting.  
As stated on their website: 
Our Passion ~ It all starts with family and friends and the enjoyment of sharing a meal with people you care about. That enjoyment becomes a desire to bring great food to a great community. Ripe Eatery is dedicated to providing an experience where a passion for delicious food meets heartfelt friendship. Brunch with friends, business lunch, romantic dinner or catering for a special event, let us share our culinary creativity and family hospitality with you. Savor the flavor… Eat Ripe.

501 Bar & Bistro
Like bacon? Sweet Oatmeal with raisins, brown sugar and fresh nuts and stuff?  501 Bistro is by far our favorite spot for breakfast.  Locals love the Enchiladas Con Huevos.  We recommend their French Toast Minis that have an over-the-top Citrus Brown Sugar Glaze!  Not into breakfast, head their with your furry friends for lunch or dinner anytime you are seeking an absolutely delicious dining experience.  
Their lunch menu includes appetizers, salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, and unique sides such as Charro Beans, Sauteed Vegetables, Spanish or Basmati Rice, and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. 501 favorites include Fish Tacos, Street Style Tacos, and its award-winning Stuffed Green Chile..

Coco.Miel
Pizza anyone?  Coco.Miel welcomes locals and visitors alike, and of course, dogs of all shapes and sizes.  It’s an ideal spot to sit in and around their outdoor patio while you savor some of the best pizza in town. Coco.Miel's menu includes shareable plates, calzones, pasta dishes, sandwiches, salads, and specialty pizzas such as Salmon Spring, Soho Shrimp, Mexican Meat Lovers, Spicy Hawaiian, and more. 

Save room for dessert and be sure to order their classic Tiramisu or Ice Creme Crepe Pizza.

It’s February, which means love is in the air throughout the world, and right here at our apartments to rent in El Paso Texas!  With so much to love about our community, and the city that surrounds us, we couldn’t think of a better theme for this month’s blog.

Whether you are looking for a special spot to take your loved-one, or just a fun day out with the kids, here’s a list of some super reasons why we just love living in El Paso.  

All of which document why we have such a love affair with all that surrounds Cantera Apartments, year-round!

Downtown Artist & Farmers Market
117 Anthony St. 
915-212-1780  

If you have yet to purchase something special for the loved ones in your life, head to the Downtown Farmers Market this Saturday.  There is an excellent selection of handmade artistry and unique crafts that you can’t find anywhere else in El Paso.  

We always like to stop by the cooking classes to get new ideas to share with our friends and family during the new year ahead.  The kids love this trip to the Market, too, as there are crafting demonstrations for kids of all ages.

San Jacinto Plaza
114 W. Mills Ave. 
915-212-0092  
Here’s a new idea for the new year: Game Day at San Jacinto Plaza. From Ping Pong to Splash Pads, to Chess Games and Horseshoes, the Park offers plenty of easy and entertaining ways to get out into the fresh spring air in El Paso.  

Save room to celebrate a special event (or no event at all) and make a day of it.  The Plaza also offers some tasty treats close by at La Placita Cafe.  Don’t miss the “Corn in a Cup” which is always a local favorite.
 
McKelligon Canyon
McKelligon Canyon Rd. 
915-534-0600  

If your New Year’s Resolution included a focus on fitness, this is the spot to get your body and mind in gear.  Anywhere you go within McKellingon Canyon are opportunities to take a brisk walk or run a few miles among some of the state’s most stunning terrain.  As one of the top spots for those who train all the time, this section of the Franklin Mountains is a favorite route for the ultra-fit – an inspiration to keep your resolutions moving forward.

Sunday Picnic at Zin Valle Vineyards
7315 Canutillo La Union Rd. 
915-877-4544  

Whether you enjoy a lovely glass of wine, or not, take your Valentine to Zin Valley Vineyards  this month.  Every Sunday they offer wine tastings and live music wrapped with view of the vineyards in every direction.  Want to up the romance level of this special day?  Pack a picnic for the one you love.  She (or he) will love the special touch as you enjoy a sunny day in El Paso.
