BRAVA at Borderlands

The concept centers on handmade nixtamal masa, regional Mexican and Paraguayan-influenced cooking, craft beer, and a full cocktail program developed by general manager and mixologist Arnoldo Celaya. The kitchen runs under executive chef Fernando Luévanos, whose background spans Central Mexico, and Ceci Velázquez, whose hails from Asunción, Paraguay. After the grand opening weekend, the bar will operate 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m.-1 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Sunday. The kitchen closes an hour before the bar, with a distinct night menu running 9-10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
