WELCOME TO THE MULE.
We’re not your traditional Mexican place. We just happen to think that tacos are a dish best served fun, with a side of liquor. Welcome to The Mule, where tacos, tequila and bourbon come to party.
Located in one of Hamilton’s most beautiful spaces, we think we’ll be your new favourite lunch spot, your regular late-night haunt and your go-to destination for a good drink. Our bartenders have crafted a bourbon- and tequila-focused cocktail menu that will surprise and fascinate, and we also have a variety of beers on tap.
And don’t forget the food. From baja wings to brisket tacos, our menu offers an approachable and fresh twist on your favourite flavours from way down south. Our tacos range from classic Mexican to weird-and-wild-you’ve-gotta-try-this. All of our food is 100% gluten-free and we offer a variety of fare that is sure to delight your vegetarian and vegan side.

    Service was extremely slow. They didn’t seem to be interested in ensuring we were taken care of. Food came faster than drink orders. Didn’t check on us. Just very very bad service. They were nice enough…just not attentive. Slow night not overly busy so idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Beautiful restaurant with amazing service. We celebrated my son’s birthday here as he is allergic to gluten, and he had the best experience ever: 100% gluten free options with delicious taste. Will come back for sure.

    Love this place! The tacos (and apps!) are phenomenal, the classic margaritas, amazing! And such a fun vibe in the restaurant itself. I took some family and friends that had never dined here and they thoroughly enjoyed it! Will definitely be back and highly recommend! 🙂

    Thank you for joining us to mourn the loss of the Pork Belly Taco, as well as bday celebrations. Pork Belly does make it's appearances from time to time though... keep checking in.
