Known for their blend of traditional Mexican flavors with a dash of Sinaloan flair, Gabriela’s Group is setting up shop once again in the heart of Houston’s Midtown, much to the delight of foodies and late-night revelers alike.

But this isn’t just any restaurant. Oh no, Seareinas is poised to be *the* go-to spot for everything from mouthwatering seafood to unforgettable nightlife vibes. If you're looking for that perfect Instagram shot—neon signs and all—Seareinas Houston has got you covered.

From Sinaloa to Houston: A Flavorful Journey

Gabriela’s Group, led by sibling duo Gabriela and Arturo Bucio, is no stranger to success. Their restaurants are already some of the most coveted dining spots in Texas, with their Austin-based Seareinas setting the standard for what’s possible when you marry Sinaloan cuisine with the vibrant energy of Tex-Mex. After their first Houston venture, Mala Vida Nightclub, opened to rave reviews in 2023, fans have eagerly awaited their next move.

Seareinas Houston marks the group’s fifteenth project in Texas, a number that showcases their rapid growth and undeniable popularity. This 10,000+ square foot seafood haven isn't just about the food—although the fresh aguachiles, ceviche, and birria tacos will keep your taste buds singing. It’s an experience, a cultural immersion into the sights, sounds, and flavors of Mexico.

Dining, Dancing, and Game-Day Vibes

Open from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and expanding their hours to start at noon over the weekend, Seareinas Houston has something for everyone. Whether you're stopping by for a casual bite, a Friday night out, or catching the big game, the restaurant’s more than two dozen HD TVs make it the prime spot for sports fans to gather. Think soccer, baseball, football, or even a thrilling UFC match—it’s all happening here.

For those who want a bit more than just dinner, Seareinas features live local Latino DJs, a banda to serenade your table, and yes, those signature neon signs that are just begging to be shared on your social media.

A Spiritual and Visual Feast

The design of Seareinas Houston is both modern and rooted in tradition. Walk in, and you’re immediately met with the group’s signature aesthetic—an airy dining room lined with cozy booths and a white marble bar top that's almost too pretty to sit at. Iconic statues of Jesus Malverde, the "Angel of the Poor" and a folk saint from Sinaloa, add a touch of cultural reverence to the space, creating a harmonious blend of the spiritual and the social.

And let’s not forget about the patio—perfect for those cooler Houston nights when you just want to enjoy your sushi roll with a side of fresh air.
