Shreveport Regional Arts Council’s Critical MASS 10 visual exhibit at Artspace Friday, February 4, 2022.

Earlier this year we said goodbye to Parish Taceaux at artspace in downtown Shreveport, but now it's time to get ready for Pepito XO which is set to open on Monday, August 22.

Restaurateur Pepito Munoz and executive chef Raul Rodriguez will be bringing their culinary know-how, a hard-working staff and infectious personalities to downtown.

The menu is filled with globally-inspired creations that highlight the culinary skills of Chef Rodriguez that will include seafood, steak and vegetarian options. Come by for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch to enjoy a variety of tasty appetizers, entrées, desserts and drinks.

"We are thrilled to welcome Pepito and his restaurant into the artspace family," said Shreveport Regional Arts Council Executive Director Pam Atchison. "Pepito XO @artspace is one more step in the ongoing development of downtown Shreveport as an arts and entertainment destination."

Pepito XO @artspace is located at 708 Texas St. and will have inside dining in addition to a large sidewalk café and office lunch options.
