    An excellent restaurant doing authentic Mexican food is coming to Uptown Dallas: Hugo's Invitados, which has been doing authentic Mexican food at its inaugural location in Las Colinas since October 2018, will open a second in Dallas, in the McKinney & Olive luxury tower.

    According to a release from Crescent Real Estate LLC (Crescent) and J.P. Morgan Asset Management, Hugo's will open in 2020, along with a separate restaurant whose details are still to come.

    Hugo's and the other still-unnamed restaurant will bring a total of eight options at various price points to the building.

    "We're extremely proud that McKinney & Olive has not only maxed out its office leasing with exceptional customers, but we've also filled our retail space with premier restaurant and retail operators," says Crescent Real Estate managing director John Zogg.

    Hugo's will build a flagship location in the 11,000-square-foot end space opposite of Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse in McKinney & Olive.

    Hugo's is a partnership between entrepreneur Mark Hulme and restaurateur Hugo Miranda, who was previously with Meso Maya.

    It represents an incredible addition to the Dallas dining scene, with fantastic drinks, appetizers, entrees, vegan items, it's just a fantastic place. It's so good, I've driven to Las Colinas to eat there.

    Helming the kitchen in Dallas will be chef Natalio Charles, who brings 21 years of experience.

    The new Dallas Hugo's Invitados will also house a fast-casual concept within the restaurant offering street tacos and organic margaritas.

    As for the final ultra-mysterious restaurant – whose identity will be revealed in coming months – it will offer an all-day menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    As noted in the release, McKinney & Olive was the first to bring to Dallas fresh concepts that include Roti Modern Mediterranean, Mixt, Starbucks Reserve, and Doc B’s Fresh Kitchen.

    Both Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse and Hugo's Invitados chose the luxury tower for flagship locations.

    The building is also home to Malibu Poke, the poke restaurant from Jon Alexis; CycleBar, an indoor cycling class; and Drybar, which does blowouts.

    Other retail offerings include CrossFirst Bank; The Marketplace, offering fine wine and sundries; Voila Dry Cleaning & Laundry; an electric car charging station; a car detailing service; and a shoe-shine service.

    The 20-story McKinney & Olive opened in August 2016 and was the first commercial building in Dallas to be designed by an internationally acclaimed architect, the late Cesar Pelli and his architectural firm Pelli Clarke Pelli, since the '80s. It's at 2021 McKinney Ave.

    Baja California style restaurant to open in Dallas Design District

    A new restaurant celebrating California's Baja coast is coming to Dallas' Design District: Called Puerto Cocina & Bar, it'll be a seafood-forward restaurant opening at the new 155 River Edge development in early December, with a coffee program, breakfast, lunch, grab-and-go items, and dinner.

    According to a release, the restaurant is from culinary entrepreneurs and restaurateurs Mauricio Gallegos and Gerardo Barrera, following the success of their other concepts, Xaman Café and Ayahuasca Cantina.

    “When we partnered up years ago, we wanted to create culturally aware new brands that highlight the richness and diversity of our Mexican culture,” Barrera says in a statement. “Puerto Cocina & Bar is yet another extension of our Mexican heritage, offering guests a menu of dishes with highly curated flavors, works of art and design that enhance awareness, and music to complete the full, sensory experience.”

    Gallegos calls it "the next chapter of the work we started at Xaman Café and Ayahuasca Cantina."

    “The spaces we create illustrate our passion for our cultural heritage and community," Gallegos says. "They help us pass down our experiences and highlight our roots through storytelling, all while capturing the places of our travels through design and world-class hospitality.”

    Puerto Cocina & Bar will celebrates the relaxed sophistication of the Baja California coast, with a focus on craft, culture, and community.

    The culinary program and operations are being developed in partnership with Oh Hi! Hospitality, a new hospitality and consulting group launched earlier this year by award-winning culinary veterans Chef Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman, Victor E. Rojas, and Carlos Marquez. The menu will feature seafood including a raw bar, crudos & tiraditos, house-made tortillas, and an emphasis on various shellfish and roe/caviar.

    The wine list will spotlight the depth and diversity of Mexican winemaking, with 100 percent of the offerings coming from producers in Mexico including winemakers from Valle de Guadalupe and Baja California Sur, Queretaro, and Coahuila.

    The cocktail program will blend regional Mexican flavors and contemporary techniques — a continuation of the innovative program employed at Ayahuasca Cantina.

    The interior design led by Dallas-based Coevál Studio will feature an elegant-yet-relaxed space echoing the contemporary coastal direction of the concept as envisioned by Barrera and Gallegos, with handmade ceramics, natural textiles, and a warm color palette of ocean greens, sand, and coral.
