Muchacho Tex-Mex confirmed that its new Frisco restaurant will open in December 2026, according to a social‑media announcement reported by Community Impact. The eatery will occupy 8600 Gaylord Parkway and will be the brand’s third location, joining existing sites in Dallas and Southlake.
The upcoming Frisco spot will serve lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, featuring handmade tortillas, enchiladas, tacos and mesquite‑grilled fajitas. House specialties will include pozolé verde, hamachi aguachile and ahi tuna taquitos. The bar program is slated to offer more than a dozen specialty margaritas, craft cocktails, mocktails and an extensive wine and beer list, as detailed by Hoodline.
Opening timelines for the Gaylord Parkway location have shifted repeatedly. Hoodline notes that earlier reports projected a spring 2026 debut, followed by a mid‑2026 estimate from chef Omar Flores in a November 2025 interview with the Dallas News, and later a fall 2026 expectation in a CultureMap roundup. Construction delays were attributed to the previous occupant, Gloria’s Latin Cuisine, remaining in the space longer than anticipated, which pushed the schedule from spring into late summer or early fall before the December target was set.
Muchacho Tex-Mex is a project of Big Dill Hospitality and chef Omar Flores. The brand originated in Dallas’ Preston Center in 2019 and expanded to Southlake a few years later, according to the outlets. In addition to the Frisco location, Flores has signed a lease for a 5,500‑square‑foot restaurant in Dallas’ Lakewood neighborhood, slated for late 2026, indicating a broader Dallas‑to‑Frisco growth strategy.
Frisco residents can look forward to a new dining option that blends traditional Mexican flavors with contemporary brunch offerings. The December opening aligns with the city’s ongoing expansion of upscale dining venues, reflecting North Texas’ population growth and demand for diverse culinary experiences.
What’s next: The restaurant plans to open its doors in December 2026. Community members should watch for a grand‑opening announcement from Muchacho Tex‑Mex as the date approaches.
