Mexico City design studio MYT+GLVDK designs a restaurant located in the city's Polanco neighborhood dubbed Órale Milanga. The restaurant is a fast-casual concept where the design is highlighted by exposed concrete walls with wavy green metal mesh materials to complement. Overall, it boasts an [industrial design language](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-next-agency) and celebrates the comforting dish that is the Milanese.

The studio speaks about the design concept behind the restaurant, stating "Órale Milanga proposes a [fast casual concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterranean-casual-dining) that invites you on a journey through Milanese, the main character of a single-item menu that honours different culinary traditions with a variety of ingredients and preparations." The interior design is led by the aforementioned green tone along the framework and staircase.
