In 2011, DRG Concepts opened the first Wild Salsa in downtown Dallas. By 2016, the popular Mexico City-inspired restaurant had expanded to Fort Worth as well. However, the concept went offline during the pandemic. The Dallas location just returned last summer after a three-year hiatus. And now, the downtown Fort Worth location has finally reopened for dinner at City Place Center.
DRG Concepts public relations firm Praestar tells PaperCity Fort Worth that the plan is to open for lunch service too, as the restaurant continues to ramp up.

Mexico City Flavors and Vibe at Wild Salsa
The Wild Salsa menu features grilled arrachera steak fajitas and a taco menu including barbacoa tacos. Signature favorites also include Sonoran Enchiladas, as well as chipotle shrimp tacos, tacos al pastor, chicken tinga tacos, and street-style corn. Traditional Mexico City sweets include housemade tres leches cake and fresh fried churros.
“Paying tribute to the vibrant culture of Mexico City, Wild Salsa downtown Fort Worth features rich, cultural components of décor,” according to a release. “Vibrant colors are incorporated with natural textural elements of wood and stone.”
Wild Salsa’s cocktails are vibrant as well. They feature a collection of top tequila brands, including the Smoked Oaxacan made with Casa Noble Blanco, Vida mezcal, and grapefruit bitters, the Fresa Caliente with jalapeno syrup and strawberry puree, the frozen El Flamenco, and Wild Salsa’s signature pineapple and jalapeno-infused Wild Rita.
Parking is no problem with complimentary valet parking available on Throckmorton and convenient parking in the City Place Center garage.
Wild Salsa’s current hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 4 pm to 10 pm.
