Landon Ledford, one of Baja Rita’s owners, said he saw potential in Old Town Lewisville when the group decided to open the restaurant in 2021.
“We bought this building because we love Lewisville, and one of our partners is from here,” he said. “We wanted to ... be more of an entertainment venue because that ties into the whole community thing. That’s what we felt like was missing down here.”
The restaurant fuses Baja and Tex-Mex cuisine. While food is important, Baja Rita’s is more than a restaurant, Ledford said.
“There are a lot of Tex-Mex restaurants. All of them find their own little niche, and they do different things,” he said. “Our little thing was, ‘We’re going to do that, and we’re going to have a kind of Baja-inspired feel, but really build it around drinks, atmosphere, live music and a good time.”
