Chef Leo Morales plans to expand his barbecue concept to Uptown Dallas before the end of 2026. The new location will occupy the building that formerly housed NADC Burger.
Why it matters
The expansion follows an offer from building owners to bring the Latin-inspired barbecue menu to this high-traffic area. The brand aims to grow its footprint after its initial launch in Mesquite last year.
The two-story restaurant will offer seating for 50 guests downstairs and 80 upstairs. Menu pricing ranges from $2 for individual tacos to $140 for three-pound meat boards.
