San Antonio will have to wait a little bit longer for Mexico Ceaty to make its debut at the Shops at Rivercenter after the ringleader of the project provided an update on the long-awaited culinary project.
On Thursday, April 2, Chef Jason Dady posted an Instagram reel on his personal account addressing the progress of Mexico Ceaty. The chef, also behind concepts like Tre Trattoria and Roca & Martillo at The Rock, said that the food court overhaul is nearing completion, but did not meet the projected April 1 timeline for opening.
“We’re pushing as hard as we can. We were hoping for April 1, that didn’t happen. We’re hoping for April 6, that’s not gonna happen. But we’re really close,” Dady said in the video.
MySA reached out to Dady to ask if there was anything else to add to what he said on Instagram, and he shared that staff is training and onboarding this week and the new goal he’s shooting for is April 13 for Mexican Ceaty’s opening.
“So close we can taste it. We actually received our temporary certificate of occupancy today,” Dady said via text.
The San Antonio chef emphasized on social media that Mexico Ceaty is still hiring for a few more positions at the multi-concept culinary hub. Dady also shouted out Whataburger for fueling his late-night musings and for bringing back the Monterey Melt, which he hopes will stick around for good.
MySA has been following the progress of Mexico Ceaty closely, from when it was announced in 2024 to previewing the space in January 2026. The 25,000-square-foot undertaking is replacing Rivercenter’s traditional food court with something more akin to a food hall, with multiple food and drink concepts.
