THE STORY OF GIGI’S

A young man with dark, wavy hair and a woman with blonde hair, smiling, standing close together with the woman's arm around the man's shoulder in an indoor setting.

She came to America the first time, heartbroken.

Seventeen. No plan. Just pain.

A young Latina woman chasing space to heal.

Then the call came: her father, her hero, had passed away.

She returned home, shattered all over again.

She married the man who first broke her heart.

A year later, their son Rodrigo was born.

And then tragedy struck again.

Her husband passed away.

So she came back to America.

This time, as a single mom from Guatemala.

No backup. No safety net.

Just her and her son.

Hopeless, but determined.

Double shifts. 15-hour days.

Her older sister watched Rodrigo while she chased tips to survive.

Feeling guilty as a mother, but knowing there was no other way.

Over the next decade, she built a reputation at some of Dallas’ most respected

Latin restaurants: Gloria’s, Mesero, and Mexican Sugar.

At Gloria’s, she introduced bottle service,

a now-iconic offering that changed the nightlife game.

Everywhere she worked, Gigi didn’t just serve guests.

She transformed the experience.

And now, she’s building something of her own.

A space that honors struggle, celebrates resilience,

and turns heartbreak into a legacy.

This is Gigi’s.

Come not just to vibe,

but to witness the power of starting over.

Because if she can do it?

So can you.
