And you know what makes it even better? The town’s location, right next to the border, this brings in a lot of traffic, which is an incredible opportunity for up and coming entrepreneurs to flourish in this bustling market.
One restaurant that captured our hearts is Ruta La Frontera.
From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with so much love and warmth, it felt like coming home. The owner herself shared her beautiful vision for the restaurant, and we couldn’t help but be swept away by her passion. Her goal is to create a friendly and charming environment, a place where people can gather with friends, create beautiful memories with family and loved ones, and celebrate together as a team after a big game or any joyous occasion. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a hub of joy and connection. And there’s so much to enjoy!
They have games for both adults and children, making it a perfect spot for everyone to have fun together. Recently, they even installed a pool table and a football table – now, that’s a recipe for endless laughter and good times! If you love classic and innovative cocktails check out their talented bar tender Nigel. Stop by and give him a hail.
