The details

At Mexico Ceaty, a 21,000-square-foot marketplace created by chef Jason Dady, visitors can explore multiple dining options including street taco stands, a bakery, a Tex-Mex concept, and a speakeasy-style mezcal bar, all designed to evoke the energy of a traditional Mexican market. KPOT Korean BBQ and Hot Pot offers an all-you-can-eat experience where guests can grill meats tableside or build their own customized hot pot. And at the Rodeo Bar and Grill, the viral soft serve margaritas in flavors like strawberry and mango have become a popular draw, complementing the restaurant's Mexican and seafood-focused menu.
