Join us for a special screening of Abuelita's Kitchen: Stories from the Borderlands and preview a taste of San Elizario's upcoming Mija Eatery and Community Kitchen by Chef Enrique Lozano.

This half-hour episode, one of three (El Paso, Los Angeles and Tucson), was masterfully crafted by Dr. Meredith E. Abarca (UTEP) as a glimpse into our own shared experiences of the love, learning and tradition only our abuelitas could serve up.

Chef Enrique Lozano has chosen San Elizario as the home of his next, much anticipated endeavor and he'll be serving up tastings inspired by the dishes the abuelitas present in the episode.

And it's all FREE! So bring your family and enjoy an evening of honoring the abuelitas--and the food--that have shaped us all. (Doors open at 7pm, screening at 7:30pm.)

Honored to host reunion. Classes from the 60’s through the 80’s represented tonight and it was all about Bulldog pride in Eagle territory. We were happy to host our neighbors, and we raised our glass of respect when the toast called out, “SocoLoco for life!”

Our Story

First opened as a dance hall in the 1940’s as La Moderna Inn by Antonio Sanchez, locals referred to it as, “Sanchez Hall” and it was the premiere place in San Elizario for wedding receptions and the big band dances that were popular at the time. In the 1970’s, Antonio’s youngest son, Benjamin took over and renamed it The Boondocks. Under his ownership, it was the location for a scene in the 1982 film, “The Border” starring Jack Nicholson. In 1990, a fire destroyed everything but the adobe walls! In 2005, Ben, his wife Grace and a crew of locals rebuilt the hall and the couple reopened it as a party venue once again, under the name Maya’s Gardens. In 2018, daughter Maya and her husband Gabriel took over and renamed it Presidio Hall, as it is known today.
