Texas-based Mexican restaurant Vidorra is making its way to Nashville, now slated to open in Q3 of 2025 at Cummins Station.
The restaurant — one of the brands under the umbrella of Milkshake Concepts — was previously expected to make its Nashville debut at 800 Broadway, as reported by What Now Nashville in 2023. However, it will now take over the location that used to house Cinco de Mayo.
Imran Sheikh, CEO and founding partner of Milkshake Concepts, told What Now Nashville that opening at Cummins Station will be a natural outgrowth from their other brands that have already opened in the market, including Harper’s Steakhouse and The Finch, which opened earlier this year in the Union Station Baggage Building. The owner of the building that houses The Finch also owns the building that will house Vidorra.
“We took an immediate liking to the Nashville market and saw it as a great hub for some of our restaurants,” Sheikh said. “There’s nothing quite like [Vidorra] in the Nashville market — what it does, how it looks and the experience it delivers.”
The location offers 9,000 square feet of interior space as well as room for a large outdoor patio and bar area.
“We love Nashville. We love the area specifically. We love the building,” Sheikh said. “We are really confident that we will be able to put a particularly special Vidorra in that space and we think it can become a real center point for the local community and some of the tourists that visit.”
Vidorra currently has four locations open in the Dallas area. It serves items like tacos, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas and enchiladas. Sheikh said they are looking to expand into other markets across the country, as well.
“People ask me what I think the secret sauce is to it,” Sheikh said. “It’s just such a transportive experience that heightens the senses, from the design and decor — a lot of which is sourced from Mexico — and you add to that the sounds and smells. All of a sudden you feel like you’re in a whole other place.”
