A quiet start to 2025 after the holiday hubbub? Not Amaya Modern Mexican, where birria and a beat begin the new year.
Amaya, the first-ever thoroughly Mexican restaurant at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, opens the first week of January, the restaurant announced Thursday. The Las Vegas Review-Journal first reported a restaurant was replacing Holsteins burgers, later revealing its name would be Amaya Modern Mexican.
Dinner at Amaya mingles a Vegas riff on coastal Mexican cooking, live DJs and performers who urge guests to dance in their seats.
The opening menu features dishes such as slow-cooked birria short rib with corn purée, pickled onion and cotija.
