Leoncito, a modern Mexican restaurant, will offer a menu that celebrates the vibrant flavors of several Mexican cities and regions, including Baja, Zihuatanejo, Mexico City, Oaxaca and Yucatán.
“We want to create a dining experience that fully encompasses the touch, smell and taste of the country’s rich history.”
“Leoncito is an homage to the incredible memories and experiences I’ve had in Mexico - a country I have so much love and respect for,” said Nick Mathers, owner of Wish You Were Here Group.

Leoncito - Spanish for “little lion” - is scheduled to open in October in the former Hearthstone Kitchen &Cellar at Red Rock Resort, the property shared first with the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
