Mexican Sugar is a Pan-Latin restaurant offering refined dishes that are as bold in flavor as they are elegant in presentation.

Everything is made from scratch and prepared with authentic ingredients and traditional cooking methods.

At Mexican Sugar, our General Manager is dedicated to creating a lavish and authentic Latin American atmosphere that delights Managers, Team Members, Guests, and Vendor Partners alike.

They approach their work with a strategic mindset, constantly coaching and developing their team, and reject the notion that simply pushing through challenges will lead to sustainable success.
