A James Beard Semifinalist Is Opening a Mexico City-Style Cocktail Bar | Eater Vegas
"A modern Mexican restaurant opened in 2021 by chef DJ Flores; the chef is fresh off his second consecutive year of earning a semifinalist nod for the James Beard Award: Best Chef Southwest and earlier earned his first James Beard semifinalist nod in part for the masa he grinds in-house. That masa produces soft blue tortillas used in carne asada tacos and also shipped to other local outlets (for example, Vesta Coffee Roasters for their breakfast tacos). Flores’s work with masa and his modern Mexican approach form the culinary foundation for his expanding hospitality ventures." - Janna Karel
