WELCOME TO MEZCALITO


At Mezcalito We're a family, united by our love for great food, vibrant music, and exceptional service.

Thriving to ensure we are the family oriented joint you are happy to dine at.



MEZCALITO was born in early 2015, when founders saw the need for a restaurant for all. Something that would meet in the middle where we could serve food and drinks for all pallets and socio-economic groups, because all deserve to have a unique experience they cannot have elsewhere- nice music, beautiful scenery, good food, and great drinks. This was then when owners overcame their own personal fears of pursuing their real dream of having something of their own after working for decades elsewhere. Always with the purpose to proudly serve flavorful and colorful meals that better describe the origins of Mexican cuisine; bringing new flare and fresh ideas by incorporating trendy and traditional authentic elements.

    From the moment one arrives until the end of the meal is absolutely delicious! Love our food, staff and the delicious drinks. I picked this place knowing my parents would love, and they do.

    It was nice to reserve before getting to the restaurant. The restaurant was full and had a long waiting list but our table was already ready when our party got to the restaurant.

    The staff was very welcoming and nice. We sat at the bar and got our drinks and chip/dip very quickly. The entrees took a little longer but we were having a good time so weren’t very bothered by that. The chorizo dip and margaritas were great! Definitely recommend a reservation because that location stays busy. It’s a loud environment so definitely not for an intimate setting but great experience for a casual dining spot.
