Geronimo Tequila Bar is expanding its footprint, bringing its celebrated tequila-centric and Southwestern-inspired dining experience to Delray Beach, Florida. The new location, situated on Atlantic Avenue, marks the company’s most ambitious venture yet, signaling a significant shift in its geographic strategy.
A Southern Expansion
The opening of the Delray Beach restaurant represents Geronimo Hospitality Co.’s third location, following successful establishments in Connecticut and Massachusetts. This expansion demonstrates a growing confidence in the brand’s appeal across the United States. Co-owner Marc Knight emphasized the importance of this move, stating the new bar offers ‘an experience unlike any in the area.’
A Taste of the Southwest
Spanning 3,500 square feet, the Delray Beach bar and grill is designed to transport guests to the American Southwest. The menu is built around sourcing ingredients directly from New Mexico purveyors, a deliberate choice to maintain authenticity. Signature dishes include a Hatch green chile stew, tableside guacamole, and tacos featuring in-house corn tortillas – offering a genuine taste of the region. The expansive space accommodates up to 180 patrons, creating a vibrant atmosphere for diners.
