ATX Cocina, a modern Mexican restaurant in downtown Austin, is designed as a ring of cozy rooms around an open communal kitchen that welcomes guests with texture and pattern. A vaulted ceiling of hemlock and pine arches over the kitchen and greenhouse-like dining rooms, which are furnished with pecan table tops and floors, custom cast concrete pendant lights, colorful fabrics and local artwork by Aaron Michalovic. Blackened steel cabinetry, concrete tile floors and copper accents complement the warm natural woods. Sitting above the bustling street with large windows and soft drapery, the restaurant allows for enchanting views from the restaurant to the greenbelt and Lady Bird Lake beyond.
