This summer, Dallas will welcome Casa Brasa, a bold new steak and seafood restaurant rooted in the primal elegance of fire. Opening at 8111 Preston Road, the highly anticipated concept draws inspiration from Latin America’s open-flame grilling traditions, transforming them into something unmistakably modern, unmistakably Dallas.
The name itself — Brasa, Spanish for ember — captures the heart of the experience: the elemental pull of flame, the age-old act of gathering, and the sensory drama of smoke, char, and sizzle. But Casa Brasa doesn’t just cook over fire — it worships it. Every flicker of flame becomes part of a narrative that spans the soulful parillas of Argentina, the kinetic street markets of Mexico, and the meticulous craftsmanship of Japanese fish culture.
At the helm is Chef Omar Flores, the James Beard-nominated talent behind Dallas favorites like Whistle Britches, Even Coast, and Muchacho. In collaboration with the Marshi Family of Big Dill Hospitality, Flores is crafting a menu that’s less about fusion and more about harmonious collision. Expect prime steaks kissed by open coals, line-caught seafood prepared with reverence, and sushi rolls that nod to both Tokyo and Tulum.
The menu is a study in contrast and control. Imagine aguachiles laced with citrus and heat, Mediterranean-inflected salads with fire-roasted vegetables, and steaks that speak with both swagger and restraint. Sushi arrives bright and unexpected — with flashes of jalapeño, lime, and soy — while the raw bar tempts with oysters, ceviche, and crudo kissed with smoke.
Currently undergoing a complete transformation, the Casa Brasa space is being reimagined into a multi-sensory destination. Guests can expect an open-fire grill on full display, a dedicated raw and sushi bar, intimate private dining rooms, and a high-energy cocktail lounge — a place equally suited for celebratory dinners and neighborhood drop-ins.
Casa Brasa isn’t just opening a restaurant. It’s opening a dialogue — between cultures, ingredients, and fire itself.
Opening Summer 2025. Stay tuned for grand opening details.
