Following the massive success of its sister location in Houston’s Buffalo Bayou Park, the internationally acclaimed Toca Madera is officially headed to North Texas. The global hospitality group Noble 33 has confirmed that their sixth outpost is slated to open in the heart of Dallas this coming year with its signature blend of theatrical fire performances, lush jungle aesthetics, and world-class cuts of wagyu to the city’s East Quarter.

The upcoming Dallas location will occupy a sprawling 13,221-square-foot space at 2203 Commerce Street. Designed to accommodate over 400 guests, the venue will feature a massive main dining room, an expansive outdoor patio, and two full-service bars. One of the most anticipated architectural features is the “Bird’s Nest,” a custom-designed lounge area enveloped in an intricate wood and greenery structure that makes guests feel as though they’ve been transported into a high-design rainforest.

The menu, curated by Executive Chef Martin Heierling, focuses on Mexico City-inspired flavors with a distinct steakhouse twist. Diners can expect the brand’s most iconic dishes, such as the A5 Wagyu Tacos served in crispy wonton shells and the Sashimi Mexicano featuring ahi tuna and pomegranate. The centerpiece of the experience is undoubtedly the Flaming Tomahawk, a premium 40-ounce American Wagyu steak that is finished with a spectacular tableside fire presentation.

The bar program is equally dramatic, focusing on a “farm-to-glass” philosophy with an extensive collection of premium tequilas and mezcals. Popular favorites like the Ghost Rider margarita—served with a flaming garnish—and the Como la Flor will be staples on the Dallas menu. To complement the food and drink, the atmosphere will be amplified by nightly entertainment including live musicians, resident DJs, and the brand’s famous fire dancers.

True to the Noble 33 style, the Dallas location is also expected to house a private, members-only speakeasy. This clandestine bar will offer a more intimate setting for guests looking to escape the high-energy pulse of the main room while enjoying exclusive spirit offerings.

“This will be the sixth location and one of the largest footprints in the Toca Madera portfolio – a testament to Dallas’ international flair and rich culture,” said Mikey Tanha, Noble 33 co-founder and CEO, in a press statement. “Bringing our version of a Mexico City Steakhouse to the great city of Dallas has been a longtime goal, and we can’t wait for residents to enjoy the unique and immersive Toca Madera dining experience.”

While an exact date has not been finalized, the restaurant is on track for an early 2026 debut.
