New Mexican Restaurant Will Open In Annapolis, Throw Cinco De Mayo Party

ANNAPOLIS, MD — A new Mexican restaurant will open soon in the Annapolis Town Center.

The eatery, named Urbano Mexican Fare, will throw a Cinco De Mayo-themed party next weekend to celebrate. The business won't fully open until early 2023, however.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the fresh, festive vibe that Urbano Mexican Fare will bring” Annapolis Town Center General Manager Anthony Henry said in a press release announcing the news on April 20.

Urbano Mexican Fare will span 5,000 square feet and seat 150 customers. It will feature a sophisticated atmosphere and a contemporary design inspired by Mexico City.

The restaurant will specialize in modern Mexican dishes. Brunch, small plates, desserts and cocktails will also be available.

“We are excited that locals and visitors alike will not only have access to our one-stop-shop for all their day-to-day needs, but also have a place to enjoy a night out with friends and family trying out some great new Mexican fare,” Henry said.

Common Plate Hospitality owns Urbano Mexican Fare. The Annapolis eatery will be the parent company's fifth restaurant in the DMV. The other four locations are in northern Virginia.

“We are super excited to bring our elevated Tex Mex cuisine, cocktails and design to Annapolis,” Common Plate Hospitality Managing Partner Chad Sparrow said. “We believe with the new look and enhancements that is being done at Annapolis Town Center we will fit in perfectly and create a vibrancy to elevate the customer’s experience.”

The street party is scheduled for May 15 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Towne Centre Boulevard.

A DJ, Mariachis and a Latin band will entertain the crowd. Guests will enjoy a taco bar, beer, tequila and prizes. The night will end with fireworks.

Tickets are available at this link for $5. Proceeds will benefit Feed It Forward DC. This nonprofit donates food, supplies and toys to residents in need.
