Texan and Hell’s Kitchen competitor who was recognized for technical skill and composure under pressure. He has a long his- tory in Dallas kitchens, with the most recent being in newly opened EVELYN. Walker’s 3016 Greenville Ave., Lower Greenville Do you care for salt? That’s the teaser motto of a bar and market coming to Lower Greenville this spring called Walker’s. It will be a specialty sandwich counter, curated market and wine shop by day, and will feature European-American cooking, cocktails and diges- tifs by night. Owners Rosemary Greene and Russell Walker are the siblings and founders of the new spot. Greene is bringing her ad- vanced sommelier knowledge to the wine program, and they’re both bringing intentional hospitality for this new neighborhood gathering place. Maroma 1333 Oak Lawn Ave., Design District Maroma, a coastal Mexican restaurant, has been slated to open in the Design District for a while now, but we’re still awaiting the grand opening announcement. This is the latest concept from cel- ebrated chef Omar Flores, who is also behind Whistle Britches, Muchacho and Even Coast. Inspiration from Jalisco, Colima, Nayarit and Sinaloa, which make up parts of Mexico’s western edge, will make up the menu. Expect ceviche, agua chiles, spe- cialty seafood dishes and mesquite grilled meats meant to be en- joyed communally. Sueño Coctelería Mexicana 6600 Snider Plaza, Park Cities Sueño was originally founded in 2021 by Julio Pineda and Cris- tian Lujano. Its success in Richardson has led the duo to open a sec- ond location at 6600 Snider Plaza this year. They’re partnering with the Bellomy Hospitality Group, a local family-owned firm that owns S&D Oyster Co., Rex’s Seafood and Caché. The new location will have a live-fire kitchen that will be a visual centerpiece and the focal point of the menu. Ingredient-driven plates inspired by Mexico City will explore flavors and techniques intertwined throughout the rest of the menu. Seegar’s Deli 1910 S Harwood St., The Cedars Seegar’s Deli will be a legit sandwich shop in the Cedars neigh- borhood. The opening has been pushed back so many times that the owner Olivia Genthe (behind Fount Board & Table) opened Lit- tle Blue Bistro first. When it opens, it will be a nondenominational deli serving a kingdom of sandwiches on freshly baked bread in an all-day cafe setting. Yum. Don’t let this one down. Brazamar 3606 Greenville Ave., Lower Greenville “Brasa”, meaning grilling, and “mar” meaning sea, in Spanish, is the theme behind Brazamar, a new Mexican restaurant coming to the Greenville area this year. The former Foxtrot space will now serve solid Mexican plates and good cocktails at reasonable prices. Owner Jon Garay will allegedly also be opening Tacos Richy, a street-taco spot similar to Chilangos next door (which he founded), but no official announcement has been made. Corsaire 3525 Greenville Ave., Lower Greenville The old Pizzeria Testa space was scooped up expeditiously from the owners of smash hit Goodwin’s. Mediterranean Corsaire will take influence from North Africa, Spain, France, Turkey, Morocco and any place that travelers found themselves during the spice trade. The sprawling restaurant space wants to host families, large groups and diners coming in for drinks and bar bites. Do we sense another hit neighborhood restaurant for Lower Greenville? 44 DALLAS OBSERVER • CRAVE 2026
