Mezcalito's Cocina & Tequila Bar

A Day Of the Dead Skull… Or Two.

They greet you on the way in.

Just what the doctor ordered, it’s still quiet and serene at 11 o’clock on a Saturday morning.

Rosemary’s Baby?

That’s a dark reference for us at [...]

Domino Arepa

Who needs meat?  This hearty combination of fried sweet plantain slices, shredded queso blanco, black beans and red pepper was pure comfort food heaven.  We loved it more than words can say.  And, this will be a love that [...]

Hola! Mexican Cantina

Hola!

Quite mild, but, this salsa was a nice blend of rich, charred tomatoes, cilantro and onion.

Pleasantly thin toward the middle with a thicker crust, this was a dense, yet tasty wood-fired pizza with great toppings.

Rib Sandwich -- Burger King Style

Burger King’s Rib Sandwich

Apparently, Burger King was jealous of McDonald’s atrocity.  Yes, we’re referring to the “McRib”.  Now, Burger King has it’s very own atrocity.  Actually, that’s harsh.  At least the BK rib sandwich is edible.  We doubt we’d ever willingly eat it again.  But, it doesn’t quite reach [...]
