CORRECTION, 11:15 a.m., March 9: The original version of this story gave the wrong date for The Mexican’s opening, which is March 11.
Situated in the heart of the Design District, The Mexican is opening March 11, offering Northern Mexico-inspired dishes passed down from generation to generation.
Described as a love letter from Mexico by the owner, businessman Roberto Gonzalez Alcalá, The Mexican will serve cherished hometown recipes, including gourmet sauces and salsas, from Monterrey.

The menu will be spearheaded by chef Rodrigo Lomeli, along with a luxurious interior designed by Paulina Moran. Primarily spotlighting Monterrey, The Mexican’s menu will offer a “modern, cosmopolitan touch to traditional Mexican cuisine.”
“We are not your typical Mexican restaurant,” says Alcalá in a press statement. “Inside our doors, we are uncovering a new contemporary Mexico that takes authenticity and luxury to uncharted heights. Guests will experience an elevated, cosmopolitan dining adventure that exemplifies the true, traditional Mexican culture of innovation and passion, with great cuisine, all in one.”
