The compact 200-square-metre restaurant needed a meaningful refresh without losing the informal character that existing customers associated with the venue. Colour and branding had to create impact, while the kitchen needed a stronger connection to the dining room.

Pink and peacock-green accents are layered with rustic timber to bring warmth and personality into the interior. A new open kitchen creates depth through the plan and makes preparation and movement part of the customer experience. The stronger colour palette and artwork by Citizen Grit give the restaurant a clearer visual identity while remaining consistent with the relaxed spirit of a neighbourhood Mexican cantina.

The updated Tepito feels energetic, warm and direct. Greater visibility into the kitchen brings more life to the room, while the colour and graphic elements create a memorable setting without overwhelming the compact space.
