The nation’s leading healthy, fast, casual poke restaurant, Pokéworks, will celebrate the grand opening of their new east side location on April 13, with a buy one, get one free special and other giveaways at 1318 George Dieter Drive.

There is currently a Pokéworks on the westside of El Paso, 6951 N. Mesa St., owned by El Paso native, Jesus Reza. In 2017, Reza discovered the fresh and delicious options Pokéworks has to offer and opened the westside location in 2017 and is now excited to bring the second location to the El Paso community.

“Poke lovers in El Paso will quickly come to find that Pokéworks is substantially different than your typical fast-casual restaurant,” Reza said in a press release. “Our genuinely fresh ingredients, responsibly-sourced seafood and chef-curated sauces, paired with the unique demographics of the El Paso community makes Pokéworks the destination for fresh, fast and reliable food.”

During the grand opening, Pokéworks will have a buy one, get one free deal at its new location along with exclusive giveaways and prizes to customers. The first 50 guests in line will enjoy a coveted Pokéworks-branded coconut.

Founded in 2015 in Midtown Manhattan, Pokéworks believes in the importance of meeting today’s needs while preserving oceans and being able to serve guests with all types of dietary restrictions.

Pokéworks operates more than 30 locations nationwide, from California to New York, and is projected to open more than 100 by the end of 2020.

“We’re right across from the Las Palmas shopping Center. We are trying bring awareness to the eastside that we are here and we have good healthy food for you,” said General Manager Ruben Meraz at the George Dieter location. “It’s definitely a good time.”
