From the architect. The restaurant is located within a shopping complex, at the southern edge of the city of Guadalajara, Mexico. The biggest challenge for the project was to rethink the aesthetic and architectural identity of a business with almost 2 decades of history. Throughout the last 18 years, La Tequila has made itself a reputation as the city’s premier destination for Mexican cuisine, and inevitably, an aura of tradition had been built around its architecture. Aside from the task of preserving and revising identity, the project sought to establish an architectural standard that would serve for replication in further openings; it was to be effected in a smaller space and had to facilitate a streamlined operation.

The original plans for the space considered a mezzanine in the short direction of the site; we decided to flip it as a longitudinal element that would claim enough space underneath to include the entire kitchen. This alternative configuration allowed for a wide, open front that revealed the sequence of preparation and engaged the dining area. This move yielded a direct, obvious operational advantage: a wider kitchen counter meant more space for collecting dishes and helped ease server traffic. Furthermore, the decision to clear the longitudinal axis of the site allowed for natural cross-ventilation through a series of operable windows on the south façade. At the center of the remaining double-height space, a steel stairway zigzags its way up to the mezzanine. A cantilevered landing sticks out at the stair’s inflection and serves as a podium from which to conduct tasting events.

The latter is expressed as an outdoor continuation of the kitchen bar element, flanked by tall stools; its oblique geometry encourages conversation between customers seating on contiguous sides of the bar.
© Marcos GraciaThe abundance of rustic texture, applied with precision onto a contemporary architectural language is analogous to the restaurant’s cuisine, which takes traditional Mexican recipes and transposes them to a modern context.
