The historic Downtown Metuchen has been making waves as the town's vibrant social hub, even taking home the 2023 Great American Main Street Award. On November 9, the area secured another win with the opening of the highly anticipated MexiModo Cocina Mexicana & Tequila Bar, a modern twist on authentic Mexican cuisine.
Located in the heart of Metuchen Town Plaza, MexiModo is the brainchild of Saurabh Abrol and the owners that brought us Le Malt Lounge in Colonia and Le Malte Royale in Red Bank. The venture, first announced in June 2022, spans nearly 8,000 square feet and promises a true Mexican culinary experience within a creatively adorned space.
MexiModo features distinct seating areas, a charming rose room, an expansive bar, and an unparalleled collection of tequila. Moreover, the restaurant aims to surpass the Guinness World Record by offering over 1,000 tequila varieties. In anticipation of its grand opening, MexiModo expressed its enthusiasm in an Instagram post, inviting patrons to savor vibrant flavors and create lasting memories.
Metuchen Mayor Jonathan Busch expressed excitement about MexiModo's contribution to the burgeoning culinary scene, affirming the town's status as a culinary hub in Central Jersey. Dawn Mackey, the executive director of Metuchen Downtown Alliance, echoed the sentiment, anticipating that MexiModo would attract visitors from far and wide, further enriching the diverse district and solidifying Metuchen as a thriving destination.
Woodmont Properties' Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Stephen Santola, highlighted MexiModo as a fitting addition to the award-winning Woodmont Metro transit-oriented redevelopment community. Santola expressed confidence in MexiModo's potential to offer a unique dining experience and become a sought-after destination statewide.
Before the public opening on November 9, a ceremonial ribbon-cutting took place to mark yet another milestone in Metuchen's dynamic culinary landscape. With exciting new openings like this one, we can expect to see Downtown Metuchen continue to thrive and grow as a place for locals and tourists alike to gather.
