New Jersey’s record-breaking Mexican restaurant is on the move again.
Meximodo, a Guinness World Record holder for the largest collection of tequila bottles on the planet, is set to open two more locations in the state.
TJ Pingtore, Senior Vice President of Growth and Development of Le Malt Hospitality Group that owns Meximodo, told NJ Advance Media Thursday that the new locations will be coming to Marlboro and Parsippany.
The Marlboro location will be at 133 South Main Street on Route 79 – replacing the former Fireside Grill & Bar and Bad Hat Dumplings and Cocktails that once shared the building.
For Parsippany, the restaurant will be stationed at District1515, a luxury residential and retail area located off Route 10.
Le Malt Hospitality Group is hoping to open both locations by late 2026.

“Each space has some uniqueness to it,” Pingtore told NJ Advance Media.
The eatery got its start in Metuchen in late 2023, gaining not only an outstanding review from NJ.com but also received recognition from Guinness World Record months later in July 2024.
Known for its modern take on Mexican cuisine, Meximodo made NJ.com’s best Mexican restaurants list in May. The menu features elevated street food staples like birria tacos and street-style corn, alongside elevated entrées such as pollo con mole, mushroom enchiladas, and cauliflower al pastor.
Earlier this year, Meximodo announced they were opening a second location in downtown Jersey City. A restaurant spokesperson confirmed that the location is slated to open in September.
