Sueño Cocteleria Mexicana, the acclaimed Mexican dining concept from co-founders Julio Pineda and Cristian Lujano, will open its second location in Dallas’ Snider Plaza at 6600 Snider Plaza on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.

The restaurant opening follows the success of its Richardson flagship and will introduce an inviting space with a live-fire kitchen and an intimate tequila lounge, Alma Agave, offering an immersive exploration of Mexican cuisine and culture.

The expansion is in partnership with The Bellomy Group, a local family-owned company behind S&D Oyster Company, Rex’s Seafood, and Caché. Together with Pineda and Lujano, the group continues to evolve Sueño as one of North Texas’s elevated Mexican concepts.

The restaurant project honors the co-founders’ origins while creating a meaningful, welcoming experience for the community that celebrates Mexican culture, heritage, and cuisine.

The in-house masa program is a cornerstone of the restaurant’s philosophy and a tribute to one of the most essential elements of Mexican culture: corn. Using heirloom blue and yellow corn, the team produces nixtamal daily, honoring the ancient process that transforms corn into foundational dishes such as tortillas, tetelas, and tlayudas. Under the direction of Executive Chef Cristos Andrade, a native of Monterrey, Nuevo León, the menu blends deeply rooted Mexican flavors with refined global techniques, drawing inspiration from French, Italian, and Japanese cuisines.

Guests can order Bone Marrow Pork Belly, pan-seared pork belly, salsa tatemada, avocado puree, bone marrow-infused crema Oaxaqueña; Tamarind Ponzu Sashimi Scallops, accompanied by fried parsnip, cucumber, avocado and cilantro; and Sushi-Grade Ahi Tuna Tartare with serrano tomato herb vinaigrette, sliced avocado, fried capers, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro. Guests can also find Jalisco Birria Tacos, oven-braised lamb, Jalisco consommé, melted cheese, red onion, cilantro, and lime, as well as Enchiladas Suiza’s with corn tortillas filled with pulled chicken and cheese, topped with creamy poblano sauce.

Live-fire dishes are a highlight of the menu with Wood-Fired Carne Asada made with Rosewood New York strip, queso añejo, black beans, and chorizo enfrijolada. Find Pollo a la Plancha with seared chicken, pipián verde, white rice, red cabbage, and Grilled Fire Fajitas a la Parrilla with choice of chicken, sirloin, pork belly, or combo of three meats with sauteed red onion and bell peppers. Fish lovers will enjoy Salmon a la Crema, a pan-seared Atlantic salmon served over white rice with calabacita, green bell pepper, yellow corn, cilantro, and white wine mushroom sauce.

Marco and Cristian Lujano lead the beverage programs at Sueño and Alma Agave, and over more than eight years working together, the brothers have developed a style that balances innovation with a deep respect for Mexican distillation and technique.

Standouts on the beverage menu include classics such as the Sueño Signature Margarita with Socorro Blanco, orange liqueur, organic agave, fresh mixed juices, and Sueño’s Top Shelf Margarita with Espolon reposado, Jalisco orange liqueur, organic agave, fresh-squeeze lime juice. Customers can order Quetzal with Condesa gin, citrus, falernum, Italicus, St. Germain, and hoja santa. Elevated cocktails offered include the refreshing Sandía Loca with Lalo tequila, watermelon, and lime, layered with orange liqueur and serrano; and the Godfather Old Fashioned, featuring Maestro Dobel Cristalino with a blend of bitters.

Signature “Ponches de Leche” (milk punches) further highlight the brothers’ innovative approach through clarified textures and bold flavor combinations. Highlights include the Una Vez in Oaxaca with Racho Joven mezcal, Oaxacan Pineapple Brandy, yuzu sake, mango, peach cordial, and chile mango caviar. Also, try the Tlalocs Negroni with brown-butter fat-washed Racho mezcal, cacao, nixta, blanc vermouth, and Cocchi Americano.
