Mexican Cuisine and Seafood Concept Coming to Goldsboro

GOLDSBORO, NC — Bahia Mexican Grill and Bar is targeting a late April or early May opening at 503 N William St, Goldsboro, NC 27530, co-owner Karina Rodriguez told Business Debut. The restaurant is working through permits and is waiting on a new gas line installation after the previous business at the site was closed for about four years, Rodriguez said.

What to Expect

Bahia Mexican Grill and Bar is planned as a full-service restaurant with a full bar and seven-day-a-week service, Rodriguez told Business Debut. The team expects capacity to be about 150 people once the space is finished. Rodriguez said the restaurant is also considering occasional live music.

Menu and Vision

The concept will include Mexican cuisine with a seafood component, plus Tex-Mex items, Rodriguez said. She said the name “Bahia” translates to “bay,” reflecting the seafood influence, though the menu will not be exclusively seafood. The team is also developing a weekend brunch concept.

Rodriguez said they want to stand out in a market with multiple Mexican restaurants. “We just want to be different,” she told Business Debut, noting their plans for Mexican brunch and seafood options.

Opening Timeline

The team is hoping to open by the end of April or the beginning of May, Rodriguez told Business Debut. A soft opening is also being considered for late April, with a fuller opening in May.

Hours

Planned hours of operation are to be announced. Rodriguez told Business Debut the restaurant expects to offer lunch and dinner service, with weekend brunch in development.
