THE BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSION TUESDAY NIGHT APPROVED A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLAR GRANT FOR EL PINTO RESTAURANT ON NORTH 4TH STREET TO EXPAND ITS MANUFACTURING FACILITY. THE GRANT MONEY IS FROM STATE FUNDING AND THE EXPANSION WILL CREATE 25 NEW JOBS.
EL PINTO MAKES GREEN AND RED CHILE SAUCES, SALSA, AND OTHER FOOD ITEMS.
MEANWHILE, LOS CUATES WILL BE BUILDING ANOTHER RESTAURANT WITH A SPORTS BAR WHERE THE OLD YACHT CLUB WAS LOCATED ON YALE BLVD. THE PLAN IS TO TEAR DOWN THE OLD STRUCTURE AND REBUILD IT. WORK STARTS THIS SUMMER WITH A NEW RESTAURANT OPEN FOR BUSINESS A YEAR LATER.
