‘Top Chef’ winner Gabe Erales opening new restaurant Bacalar, adjoining Tómalo Taqueria
Upcoming restaurant Bacalar will bring flavors from Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula region, which includes Lebanese, Spanish and Caribbean dishes, to Austin.
Bacalar, named after Pueblo Magico Bacalar in Quintana Roo, will open this summer in Rainey Street Historic District. The restaurant comes from Bravo’s “Top Chef” winner Gabe Erales and Urbanspace Hospitality.
The two-story restaurant will include a lounge, two bars, two patios, a private dining room and a walk-up window concept called Tómalo Taqueria. Nature- and Maya-inspired decor will decorate the space.
