Another European-based restaurant and store is set to open its first-ever United States location in Dallas. Enrique Tomás is the largest collection of Spanish Jamón Ibérico gourmet shops in the world. It’ll be taking over the former Mesero space at 2822 Henderson Avenue.

The new shop will include a full-service restaurant and bar serving contemporary Spanish cuisine with paired wines and a mixology program.

“In Spain, Jamón Ibérico is not just something to eat, it is an integral part of the culture and everyday life, “ says Ricardo Sieveking, Enrique Tomás’ managing partner. “We look forward to introducing Dallas to the true Spanish Jamón, which has previously been hard to find at such a high level of quality.

“Enrique Tomás chose Dallas as the first U.S. market because of its strong ties to Spain and its community of food lovers with exquisite palates. We will open our doors in the fall to welcome guests to our restaurant and bar to gather over authentic tapas, wine and cocktails, but to also provide the opportunity for clients to take home Jamón for enjoying everyday.”

It’s Spanish tradition to have a Jamón leg on display in restaurants so that thin strips can be cut off for individual servings.

Enrique Tomás already boasts more than 100 locations, mostly in Spain, London, Rome and Mexico City. Dallas will soon be the next city checked off the list.

“Enrique Tomás will be a destination for superior Spanish food – in the restaurant, through catering and in our pre-packaged retail space,” Sieveking adds. “It is important to us to share Spain’s extraordinary Jamón culture, while truly immersing ourselves in the Dallas community.”
