Bocado Brunch & Te’kila is Noblesville, Indiana’s newest culinary destination, offering a bold fusion of Mexican and American brunch favorites layered with a tropical, coastal sensibility.
Located within the newly developed Federal Hill Commons mixed-use district, the restaurant was envisioned as both a neighborhood gathering place and a destination dining experience. The project began as a raw gray concrete tenant improvement (TI) space, requiring a complete transformation to support the brand’s vision. Our design team collaborated closely with ownership to reimagine the shell into a dynamic taco and tequila bar that balances operational efficiency with a memorable guest experience. The final layout includes a thoughtful mix of table seating, custom booths, and banquette seating designed to accommodate everything from casual brunch visits to lively social gatherings.
Drawing inspiration from Tulum’s relaxed coastal aesthetic, the interiors embrace a calming neutral color palette layered with earthy textures and natural materials that allows warmth, light, and materiality to take center stage while supporting the restaurant’s energetic food and beverage program.
To reinforce authenticity, fixtures, furniture, and artwork were curated and sourced directly from Mexico, showcasing the craftsmanship of regional artisans and creating a cohesive narrative throughout the space. These elements not only elevate the visual experience but also serve as storytelling touchpoints, connecting guests to the cultural roots behind the menu and brand.
