NOW OPEN: SIEMPRE, J.B. BRINGS VIBRANT MEXICAN DINING & NIGHTLIFE TO UNCOMMONS
Newest UnCommons Concept Celebrates the Flavors of Mexico with Authentic Cuisine, Scratch-Made Cocktails, and Tequila Partnerships
Siempre, J.B., a modern Mexican dining destination, is now open at UnCommons. The restaurant concept, created by AYYA Hospitality Group, explores the best flavors and culinary traditions across various regions of Mexico including Puebla, Mexico City, Oaxaca, Jalisco, and coastal regions.
Curated by Chef de Cuisine Román Andrés, Siempre encourages guests to explore the breadth of Mexican cuisine from classic street food, such as flavorful street tacos and smoky elote, to a showcase of creative opulence such as the scallop & uni tostada and wagyu hot stone with homemade chimichurri.
Open daily for lunch and dinner, Siempre’s 100-seat dining room and 18-seat bar create a sophisticated, desert sanctuary nestled within the Southwest Las Vegas Valley. During the day, large windows allow natural light to flood the space while at night, atmospheric mood lighting and a house DJ set the scene for a trendy, nightlife experience.
Siempre also offers an exclusive private dining room “La Guarida” featuring a rustic, earthy space for up to 12 guests. Utilizing one-way glass, the unique dining room mirrors the energy and atmosphere of the main dining room while offering enough privacy to make guests feel as if they are dining with their own cast of banditos planning their next great heist.
Siempre reservations are available on OpenTable
“We are ready to take guests on a journey of Mexican dining unlike any other in the city,” said AYYA Hospitality Group Partner Lowell Raven. “Through our extensive travels, generational recipes, and collaboration with some of the brightest minds, we’re bringing to Las Vegas a labor of our love that showcases the passion and unbelievable possibilities of Mexican cuisine and cocktails.”
