T&T (Tequila and Tacos) at the Luxor
Tacos and Tequila is a very stylish restaurant with a great menu, fun and a high energy vibe. It embodies modern and traditional elements of Mexican style intermixed with a rock‘n’roll flair, T&T combines the talents of world-renowned restaurateur Chef Richard Sandoval with the innovative creations of New York-based design team Rafael Alvarez and Brannen Brock for an unparalleled concept.
To bring their edgy vision to life, Michael Frey and Craig Gilbert worked closely with Alvarez + Brock Design on the 8,000 square-foot restaurant. Five icons of Mexican culture – the sombrero, the shot glass, the bullfight, skeletons and seductive women – inspired the design concept.
Translating the vibrancy and flavor of the design to the menu, Frey’s company, Drive This Entertainment! enlisted Sandoval who will serve as consulting chef, and Saul Ortiz, former chef of Isla Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar at Treasure Island, as executive chef overseeing day-to-day kitchen operations. The menu will include Sandoval’s unique presentation of modern and traditional Mexican cuisine and a drink program highlighted by an extensive list of tequila selections, specialty cocktails and infused tequilas.
In addition to being a terrific lunch and dinner spot, T&T’s El Salon will be a popular place for nightlife goers to grab a tasty bite or frozen daiquiri in a seductive and comfortable setting.
