I’ve been watching with interest the installation of the new restaurant in the old Kettle location at Fair Park and I-630. Watching with a lot of hope. This used to be where we would send out for food very late at night when I was still working the overnight shift — that is, until a 1am kitchen fire ended The Kettle’s long run at that location.

It’s sat vacant for years, but now Riviera Maya has opened in the building. No worries… the place has received extensive renovation. It’s just opened, so it still has fresh, uncrinkly menus and a relatively fresh wait staff. How’s the food? I’ll tell ya, on the jump.
