Come grow your career with M Crowd! One of the many reasons M Crowd is unlike other restaurant companies is because most of our leaders are promoted from within.

M Crowd Restaurant Group is a collection of boutique restaurants, searching for talented individuals who want to help build a legacy one great restaurant at a time.

Our first restaurant concept, Mi Cocina, opened in 1991 with a modest 12 table space in the Preston Forest neighborhood of Dallas, TX. Mi Cocina was a pioneer in upscale Tex-Mex cuisine with a focus on serving families the highest quality ingredients with warm, respectful service. The result? People lined up out the door daily, and a Mexican restaurant legend was born.

Following a passion for creating innovative dining concepts, M Crowd Restaurant Group opened its second Mexican food sensation, Taco Diner, and then a fine dining restaurant named The Mercury.
