SAN ANTONIO — The restaurant group of well-known San Antonio chef Jason Dady will be part of a huge renovation of the Shops at Rivercenter food court.
Jason Dady Restaurant Group and Ashkenazy Acquisition Corporation, a real estate firm, announced plans for Mexico Ceaty, which is defined as an immersive restaurant, bar and shopping experience.
The 21,000 square-foot food hall area within the Shops at Rivercenter will be completely overhauled from its current form of a traditional mall food court. It will be replaced by a variety of different eateries, a panaderia-inspired coffee shop and a marketplace featuring the history and culture of San Antonio and Mexico.
"We have everything from paletas and churros to street tacos and wagyu fajitas across an abundance of both quick- and full-service outlets. We want to create a space for everyone who visits. I am thrilled to bring this concept from a dream to reality and to be at the heart of the River Walk," explains Chef Jason Dady, co-founder of Jason Dady Restaurant Group.
According to a press release from the Jason Dady Restaurant Group, the following eatery concepts will be included in the new space:
Tres Arcos: An eclectic full-service restaurant focusing on the flavor, flair and favorites of Tex-Mex cuisine
Dos Cantinas: A 300-seat bar with two “Sunken Garden” sitting areas and elevated lofts, offering a lively atmosphere with margaritas, tequila cocktails and an elaborate menu
El Ultimo: A speakeasy-style agave tasting room showcasing artisanal mezcals and aged tequilas
Dulce Aroma: A panaderia café specializing in Mexican pastries, fresh churros and breakfast tacos in a casual environment
