"Good Morning Tenants in Cross Rock!

We are opening a new full-service restaurant to the South of you called Vecina! It is a fantastic Modern American, Latin Inspired concept with its flagship store being located in Phoenix, Arizona! Chef James Fox partnered with our restaurant group Provision Concepts (Broadway 10, Hatch, Sidecar, Birra Birra, Chicken Foot, Riserva, Culprits), and we are opening on the 13th!

The restaurant will be open for both lunch and dinner 7 days a week. We will have a LARGE private dining room with A/V for meetings of all sorts! Please use it for all your meeting needs in and around Cross Rock!

Jackie & Nikari are in charge of the restaurant in the Front of House and are attached to this email. They can help take care of your dining needs at Vecina! Also, a little helpful hint? You can enter from the North of the building, in the Back Entry! Look for the signage and walk-right in! No need to walk around the building to enter from the South, although you are welcome to. Cheers and come enjoy Vecina!"

Vecina is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its Oklahoma City location on Monday, January 13, 2025. Founded by Chef James Fox, Vecina has garnered significant acclaim since its inception in Phoenix, Arizona. Chef Fox, a James Beard Award nominee, is renowned for his creative approach to Latin American flavors, utilizing a variety of spices, chiles, and sourcing local ingredients to craft a consistently rotating seasonal menu. The Phoenix location has been praised for its inventive dishes and exceptional dining experience.

The Oklahoma City establishment continues this tradition, offering a diverse menu ranging from small plates to larger format dishes, all designed with sharing in mind. Local collaborations on the menu include baked goods from The Harvey Bakery & Lupita’s Taqueria. The bar program features a curated selection of distinctive beers, wines, and handcrafted cocktails, complementing the culinary offerings. The wine by-the-glass offerings are each natural, biodynamic, vegan, organic & environmentally conscience. The modern, inviting atmosphere was brought to life by Oklahoma City artist Carlos Barboza, who painted a wall-to-wall mural that radiates vibrant color and warmth throughout dining room area. Vecina is suitable for various occasions, from special celebrations to casual weekday dinners or afternoon drinks.

Yeah, I'm not paying $20+ for tacos.

[OKCRealtor]

The menu looks great but agreed on the pricing. $17 for chips & guac?

chips salsa and guac with 2 margs ... 58 plus tax and tip ... so around 78 dollars ... hmmm

[OkieBerto]

People on here acting like this is a Fuzzy's or Ted's are crazy. Yes, it is expensive, but it will taste amazing!

[dcsooner]

Amazes me how so many lament high prices yet claim to desire higher level food, entertainment and travel options. Maybe OKC overall is not rich enough to warrant bringing some of the businesses so desired to the area. Just an opinion, no empirical data to point to.

[Dr Beard Face]

Not sure why the apps all cost $1 more in OKC than the Phoenix location. $17 guac is insane, Cocktails are cheaper here than the Phoenix location, small plus.
The food looks great, I'm sure those that can afford it will enjoy their time there, but I'm not one of those people.

We went for lunch today, and the food was very good. However, I'm concerned that the pricing may be tough for them. 3 of us shared the guacamole, and each got a taco entree (~$25/each). The entree's come with 2 tacos, with no sides. For 3 of us, with waters only, it was around $120 including tax and tip. I'll likely give it another shot, but location and pricing will make it tough to add to the rotation.

Menu looks good but pretty small, bet it helps with quality. Not cheap.
