Inspired by the summer houses in Mexico, particularly in Cuernavaca and Valle de Bravo, El Verano in Southampton is an upscale Mexican restaurant owned by Chef Julian Medina and partner Meghan Manzi. Chef Medina showcases an ever-evolving menu of classic Mexican dishes, with his own modern twist sprinkled in. All dishes are sourced from local and seasonal ingredients.
New this summer is El Verano Taco Lot. Opening Memorial Day weekend, it is a casual, outdoor Mexico City-style taqueria next door to El Verano. Grab a picnic table and enjoy favorites like Queso Fundido, birria tacos, or Chef Medina’s signature Lobster Roll, plus drinks like a Mexican Arnold Palmer with hibiscus tea and limeade or frozen margarita.
El Farm Market will also open Memorial Day weekend next to El Verano (at 101 Jobs Lane). It will offer farm-fresh prepared foods like Chef Medina’s guacamole, roasted tomato salsa, dips, and sandwiches—including a Lobster BLT, French Dip, and Mexican Tortas—plus rotating seasonal veggies.
