Born in a family with a passion for Gastronomy and Oenology, we opened our first French Wine Bistro, Cepage[s], in Notting Hill, London in 2014. Driven by the success of Cepage[s], my father Felix Cohen, who lives in Grenoble (French Alpes), came with the idea to open an authentic french cuisine restaurant in El Paso. Our concept is to create a cozy atmosphere, featuring delicious bistro style sharable appetizers and classic popular dishes from diverse regions in France paired with a great selection of wines and cocktails. Our name, Entrecôte, is a very popular Ribeye Steak dish served in bistros and specialty restaurant in France. We are very exited to start this new adventure and offer a unique experience to El Pasoans and visitors from out of town.

Taft Diaz

Top-rated hospitality

October 16, 1909-For the first time in their country’s history, American President William H. Taft and Mexican President Porfirio Díaz met for a summit in the El Paso-Juarez border; the land commonly known as El Chamizal. Flags were lowered and the borderland remained neutral territory.
A traditional, conservative luncheon was hosted by President Taft at the El Paso Chamber of Commerce followed by an opulent dinner served and presented by President Díaz in the Old Federal Customs building in Juarez. Private discussions were had and agreements were made.
TAFT DÍAZ serves as a testament that great things can flourish when you welcome others at your table.

Excellent experience. Was a date night including our grandson. Anthony was very attentive, even ordering our grandson's meal first because he was starving! BEST steak I have had in a really long time, cut like butter. Hummus started was a meal in itself. We ordered too much food, but was all delicious including our dessert the berry compote.

The service could have been a bit better. First thing we ordered was drinks (iced tea for me); my wife got hers almost immediately but mine took a looong while. It could have been easier to get our waiters attention, he managed to look every which way except towards our table. It would be nice if he checked in on us often. Anyway, all this is not exactly a big deal.

We have never been disappointed. We have come to A11 multiple times and share our anniversary events with them. Not only is the wait staff attentive but still balanced enough to let you have a private experience, the food is always on point. The chef changed the menu to suit us on request. I give 5 stars for that alone. The desert was complimentary for our anniversary, and was it every a work of art and delicious! I cannot do justice by explaining the dish. Basketball sized caramel drizzle cage around a Flaun, Cheesecake, fruit combo... amazing. We dined with the fine dining upstairs. Always escorted with respect and poise. Met the manager yet again. Wonderful lady; I can easily recognize her professionalism and dedication with her words and actions. Go to A11. Expect the best. And be ready to have that exceeded.

Discover El Paso

One of the many Texas cities with a rich and long history, El Paso is located in the Chihuahua Desert along the state's western border. Founded as a Spanish colonial settlement in 1598, El Paso features a rich blend of architectural styles -- not to mention the food. The city is known for having some of the best barbecue cuisine the state has to offer. However, many would argue that the true dining highlight of the city is its authentic Mexican food. Because many locals regularly commute to Mexico and vice versa, the local dining culture truly has an international feel. Whether you prefer traditional Mexican cuisine or its delightful cousin, Tex-Mex, you'll find plenty of choices as you stroll the picturesque streets of El Paso.
