Casa Nomad will open Sept. 23 in the M-K-T Heights development at 600 N. Shepherd Drive, Houston. Offering food and atmosphere reminiscent of a coastal Mexican restaurant, the restaurant’s concept comes from Roland Keller, Tyler Barrera and Keith Doyle—the same hospitality trio behind Wicklow Heights.
“Tulum has for a longtime been one of our favorite travel destinations,” Keller said in a statement. “With Casa Nomad, we wanted to bring a slice of Tulum to Houston so Houstonians can experience in their own backyard the bohemian vibe that makes Tulum such a special place for us.”
The eatery is housed entirely on a 28-seat outdoor covered patio with an overhead rope canopy, sky-blue tile-adorned walls and perimeters planted with tropical vegetation.
The menu specializes in Mayan-inspired fare from Executive Chef Vincent Forchelli. Offerings include truffle crema-dressed tuna crudo tostadas, guajillo marmalade-topped bone marrow, and skirt steak adorned with salsa matcha and mushroom agridulce that will be served with corn tortillas.
