Xokol
by ODAmx and Ruben Valdez Practice

ODAmx and Ruben Valdez Practice has created the restaurant concept of Xokol in Guadalajara, Mexico.

“Located in the neighbourhood of Santa Tere in Guadalajara, Xokol is a restaurant in which the act of eating becomes a collective ritual,” said Ruben Valdez Practice.

The architecture of the space acts as a catalyst for the reinterpretation of the Mexican Mazahua people’s culinary traditions.

Xokol is a communal dining experience in which the boundaries between diners, staff and food preparation are non-existent.

This project has been shortlisted in the restaurant and bar interior category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
