Rooted in the culinary traditions of Colima, Mexico, Molino Olōyō is redefining Dallas's perception of Mexican cuisine. Co-founded by James Beard-nominated Executive Chef Olivia López, Molino Olōyō expresses the soul of Mexican cuisine by nixtamalizing heirloom corn grown by small family farms in Mexico and crafting dishes with seasonal ingredients. Its deep appreciation for cultural and agricultural roots has captivated Dallasites through private tasting menus and sold-out pop-ups, cementing her reputation as a rising star in the Dallas dining scene.

From the meticulous preparation of masa to the sourcing of rare heirloom corn varieties, Molino Olōyō elevates traditional recipes into modern culinary art. Recognized by Bon Appétit, D Magazine, and Texas Monthly - this venture is more than a pop-up; it’s a movement to honor and preserve Mexico's culinary heritage in the heart of Texas.

Leading the design direction of the new Mirador space was Headington Cos.’ long-time collaborator Swoon the Studio. After nearly a decade of brand and programming projects for Headington Cos., this is Swoon’s first interior project with the company. In reimagining Mirador, and as its name implies, Swoon wanted to interject a nod to the original architecture of the iconic building, while celebrating the room’s fourth-story vantage point as a light-filled, airy respite perched above the bustling streets of downtown Dallas. Newly acquired works by artists Sam Falls, Rob Pruitt, Chen Chen and Kai Williams reinforce Mirador’s attention to naturalism through their materials, subject or technique.
