The City of Mesquite will welcome Alejandro’s, an authentic Mexican restaurant, at its new location at the Front Street Station in Downtown Mesquite in January.

The Mesquite City Council approved the lease of the city-owned building located at 117 W. Main St. The restaurant will feature a menu that includes authentic Mexican recipes with a hint of Texas. Alejandro’s will also have an outdoor dining area, a full-service bar and live bands.

"We are excited to have been chosen to operate a new concept restaurant in downtown Mesquite," Alejandro Medina, of ADJ Restaurant Group, said. "Alejandro’s is known for our inviting family atmosphere and delicious food. Our team is positive that the revitalization efforts currently underway will create a unique dining, arts and entertainment venue for Mesquite residents and visitors. Our families have a rich history with Mesquite that ranges from growing up here to working for the school district. We believe Alejandro’s at Front Street Station will offer new, bold, fresh flavors with an updated, engaging ambiance that will provide the Mesquite community with a unique and exciting casual dining experience."

“Redevelopment of Downtown is a long term project," City Manager Cliff Keheley said. "I appreciate the community stakeholders, business owners and council for their vision on what Downtown Mesquite can be. Alejandro’s at Front Street Station is just the first step in bringing more businesses to this area. There is more to come.”
