Plans of bringing an Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas to El Paso are true. 

The movie-theater/restaurant will be located at the Montecillo Town Center that is still under construction by EPT Land Communities at 5001 N. Mesa St.

An opening date has not been released.

"Having an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in El Paso is something that has been on our city's wish list for years. We are excited and proud of being able to fulfill this wish for many El Pasoans. We look forward to great films, great restaurant-quality food and great Alamo Drafthouse Cinema programming," said Richard Aguilar, partner in EPT Land Communities.


The cinema will have nine screens. In addition, the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Montecillo will also have special outdoor events in Montecillo's public spaces such as movie nights in the park.

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema provides a unique combination of theater and restaurant, showing first-run and independent films along with special event programming, and featuring an extensive menu of foods made from scratch in state-of-the-art culinary kitchens. Customers order all food and drinks from servers who quietly attend to them throughout the movie. Customers are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy curated pre-show entertainment.
