ham” While specific details about El Tigre have not yet been disclosed, Jesus and his team have a track record of successful establishments in Birmingham, including Salud Taqueria, Adiós, The Louis Bar at The Pizitz Food Hall, and Unos Tacos at The Pizitz Food Hall.

The Brown Marx Annex, part of the historic Heaviest Corner on Earth, has a rich history as one of the tallest buildings in the area, alongside other iconic structures like the Woodward Building, the Empire Building (now the Elyton Hotel), and the American Trust and Savings Bank Building (later known as the John Hand Building/Landing Tower). As Ascent Hospitality undertakes the renovation of the Brown Marx Building into a dual-branded AC & Element Hotel, local entrepreneur Jesus Mendez has set his sights on the adjacent Brown Marx Annex for his latest venture, El Tigre.

Located at 2012 1st Avenue N., the Brown Marx Annex was built in 1909 and will soon house El Tigre, the brainchild of Jesus Mendez. With an Instagram post hinting at its future location, El Tigre is poised to join the ranks of successful establishments created by Jesus in the Birmingham area. While details about El Tigre remain under wraps for now, anticipation is high given Jesus’ previous successes with Salud Taqueria, Adiós, The Louis Bar at The Pizitz Food Hall, and Unos Tacos at The Pizitz Food Hall.

As the Heaviest Corner on Earth undergoes revitalization with the redevelopment of the Brown Marx Tower, El Tigre’s upcoming presence in the Brown Marx Annex adds an exciting new dimension to this historic district.
