Miriam Jimenez, along with partner Shannon S. Wynne, opened Miriam Cocina Latina in May 2019 in the Dallas Arts District situated on downtown’s Klyde Warren Park.

Well known for her warm hugs and infectious smile as well as her professional expertise and an eye for detail, Miriam honors Mexico’s cuisine and a few dishes from her own country, Dominican Republic.​

“Opening Miriam Cocina Latina is the most exciting and rewarding experience in my life. I’m excited to dedicate myself to the food and hospitality industry I love,” says Miriam. “Guests can expect exotic flavors and zingy cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere with a friendly and knowledgable staff.”

Offerings include shared plates, soups, salads, tacos, enchiladas, combination plates, main courses and desserts from Mexico with vegetarian options. A combination of authentic dishes and new creations are prepared using fresh ingredients as well as house-made sauces and moles prepared with bold, aromatic chiles.

The clever cocktail menu showcases a broad selection of margaritas in addition to rum and Mezcal libations, a curated list of white and red wines available by the glass as well as Mexican and local beers.

Artwork by local artist Brent Hale and The Miles Sisters don the walls of the completely renovated space with a clever game of  “I Spy” incorporated into the ceiling mural.
