Hacienda Corona Mexican Bar & Grill is moving forward with plans for its Jensen Beach location, bringing an upscale Mexican dining concept to the former home of Mulligan’s Beach House.

The restaurant is planned for 2019 NE Jensen Beach Blvd., Jensen Beach, FL 34957. According to records from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, an application for Hacienda Corona Mexican Bar & Grill was filed on November 6, 2026. The application is currently listed as in process under the agency’s plan review and initial review category.

Hacienda Corona Group LLC is identified in the filing as the business associated with the restaurant. Florida business records show that the company was incorporated on March 19, 2026. Its listed managers include Julian A. Cuellar Gomez and Jaime Gomez Perez, while Mario Gomez Perez is listed as an authorized member.

The restaurant was previously announced in August 2026 after Hacienda Corona signed a five-and-a-half-year lease for the approximately 10,960-square-foot, two-story building. The property formerly housed Mulligan’s Beach House and offers views of the Indian River Lagoon, along with outdoor seating.

According to a September 2026 report by TCPalm, the restaurant is developing an upscale Mexican menu with tropical influences. Dishes discussed include tropical mixed ceviche with mango, a grilled cheese sandwich featuring birria meat and consommé for dipping, and a chipotle steak burrito topped with mango, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo.

The restaurant is expected to bring a waterfront dining experience to the Jensen Beach area, with its two-story layout offering space for both families and other diners.

An earlier report indicated that Hacienda Corona was targeting an opening during the first week of November 2026. However, the latest state filing remains under review, and the restaurant’s current operating status should be confirmed.
