He also revitalized his Umai Mi concept, transforming it into a quick-service stand at Pearl’s Bottling Department food hall. Looking ahead, Dady is preparing to debut Mexico Ceaty in April, a project that will reimagine the food court inside downtown’s Shops at Rivercenter with four new dining experiences: Mexican restaurant Tres Arcos, 300-seat bar Dos Cantinas, speakeasy-style agave tasting room El Último, and panadería Dulce Aroma.
According to those familiar with Dady’s work, his ability to juggle multiple culinary ventures is noteworthy. The CrawDady pop-up adds another layer to the vibrant food and entertainment scene at The Rock at La Cantera.
