A brand-new modern Mexican food destination is adding some heat and spice to the Dallas dining scene. El Molino, the latest concept from Vandelay Hospitality Group, opens Tuesday, October 14, at 6818 Snider Plaza. Customers will be welcomed by the allure of candlelight, the energy and flavors of Mexico City, and Vandelay’s signature style of refined elegance and sophistication.
Guests will find classics, like elevated fajitas, alongside surprises, like Fried Chicken Tenderito fajitas and Crab & Shrimp enchiladas. Don’t miss the tasty margaritas that will be undeniably bold and strong, and one may not be enough.
The menu centers around a wood-fired fajita program, showcasing premium proteins like Filet Mignon, Grilled Adobo Chicken, Pineapple Ribeye, Guajillo Shrimp, Fried Chicken Tenderitos, and an Oyster Mushroom Medley for vegetarians. Each comes with all the traditional fixings and house made sauces.
Beyond the grill, customers can savor dishes like Smoked Chicken Verde with tomatillo salsa, the Brisket Taco Plate, Las Vegas Ribeye marinated in guajillo pineapple nectar, and Branzino Diamanté, available Veracruz-style or with lemon garlic.
The drink menu is spectacular. The Flaming Frozen Margarita takes center stage, while the Spicy Margarita and the house Chupito shots, such as the smoky Palo Santo, keep guests smiling. Perfect for aficionados, the restaurant boasts a curated lineup of rare sipping tequilas like one that’s aged in Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon barrels.

Designed by Hunter Pond, CEO of Vandelay Hospitality Group, the intimate and lively space captures sophistication with dark wood, plush carpet, and flickering candlelight.
Inspired by Mexico City’s energy, the 2,500-square-foot restaurant feels intimate but vibrant, with 83 seats and a 9-seat bar that invites lingering conversation, decadent menu items, and late-night margaritas.
