MAR Y SOL Cocina Latina

From Lombardi Family Concepts, this new Latin restaurant took over the former Jasper’s (and before that, Abacus) space on McKinney Avenue. The interior has been completely transformed into a Tulum-like escape. Design highlights include custom wood accent walls, hand-sculpted pottery, natural wood branches, neutral-toned stones, and lush plants. When we visited, many guests were taking advantage of the Instagram moment at the entrance which includes these arching branches and a large mirror. Led by chef Ty Thaxton, the menu features dishes from Peru, Argentina, Brazil, and other Latin American countries.
