Chefs Danny Mena and Julian Medina joining forces for East 13th Street Mexican restaurant



Noted chefs Danny Mena and Julian Medina appear to be joining forces to open a Mexican restaurant on East 13h Street, according to documents on file on the CB3 website. (PDF here.) An entity titled Masombrado LLC is looking to take over the space at 432 E. 13th St. that last housed Masak.

Mena is the chef and co-founder of Hecho en Dumbo while Medina is chef-owner of Toloache, Yerba Buena and Yerba Buena Perry. The new restaurant is called Sembrado en Mexico, according to the paperwork filed ahead of the month's CB3/SLA committee.



The restaurant, described as "classic Mexican food [with] grilled sustainable meats," has proposed hours of: Sunday, 11 a.m.-midnight; Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-1 a.m.; Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-2 a.m. ... with 12 tables seating 34 people.

The restaurant will be seeking a full liquor license.
