An acclaimed Dallas chef has a new concept in the works: Called Maroma, it's the newest concept from Big Dill Hospitality, led by award-winning Chef Omar Flores and the Marshi family, and is slated to open in the Dallas Design District.

The restaurant will be located at 1333 Oak Lawn Ave. at Market Center Boulevard, on the first floor of the brand new Thirteen Thirty Three Building.

According to a release, it'll open in September.

The menu will focus on coastal Mexican cuisine, inspired by the ceviches, aguachiles, specialty seafood dishes, and mesquite grilled meats perfected in the region.

Seafood and prime steaks take centerstage with a modern, sophisticated yet simple approach to each plate. Offerings are designed for communal enjoyment, creating a lasting impression.

Maroma joins Flores' popular sibling concepts Even Coast and Muchacho.

Flores was introduced to the culinary world at a young age, starting in his family’s restaurants in El Paso. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management from New Mexico State University and is a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park.

Big Dill Hospitality launched the Tex-Mex concept Muchacho in 2019 which currently has locations in both Dallas and Southlake.

His most recent venture is Even Coast, located at 5463 Belt Line Rd., and part of the new Work Shop complex at Prestonwood Boulevard in Addison. The restaurant specializes in fresh seafood, steaks, and house-made pastas, and opened in summer 2024.
