Downtown Houston's latest F&B concept, Zaranda reflects a shared vision between Hugo Ortega, his wife Tracy Vaught, and gin design group.

H-Town Restaurant Group’s enduring influence on Houston’s culinary landscape, defined by thoughtful, regionally rooted Mexican cuisine, set the foundation for this concept, inspired by the food, culture, and elemental beauty of Baja California.
Working closely with Hugo and Tracy, we translated their love of Baja into an environment that reflects its rugged coastal topography through a hand-applied plaster mural, rough stone walls, blue-hued aggregate flooring, and custom terracotta lighting. Our favorite moment is the “Ballena Bar” ceiling with blue-edged slats forming a subtle whale-tail motif.

A succulent-and cactus-filled patio extend the narrative outward. Together, the design creates a peaceful polished atmosphere that fully integrates the cuisine and experience.
