La Mezcalerita: Reviews & Ratings
One of the best bars in Oaxaca in terms of drinks and service. Their menu is HUGE, and the drinks are delicious. Staff is also very friendly and helpful, and gives good context behind each drink. The drinks themselves especially the cocktails seemed very unique and uniquely presented.
I've been coming back to this place as long as I've been living in Oaxaca (almost two years!) and it never disappoints. I always run into someone I know here!! A great place to have a beer with friends and catch up. It is perfect for any occasion or celebration and has a great selection of drinks.
A beautiful local place in Oaxaca Centre to come for a beer or a quick bite! We took the Tlayudas with cecina (which is beef) inside it has bean sauce, cheese, lettuce, tomato and salsa verde. We also took the Memelas with cecina (the mini tacos and also the “chapulines” which are the crickets. You need to like the chilli flavour.
When greeted, the first thing they said was "well before you order... You absolutely must have some Rosca", which shows you the kind of place this is. Super friendly, really nice bar. Besides the free three kings cake, the quality of the tlayudas and the papas here was terrific, far more than we expected when just popping in for a drink. Really tasty snacks! Drinks selection is also HUGE but everything was really good. Recommend the beer flight in particular! Great roof bar!
Great roof top experience and affordable drinks. We came here multiple times during our time in Oaxaca. Great margaritas, they even gave us as a blanket when the temperature began to drop at sunset
We went early on a Sunday before the terrace opened, so we sat at a table downstairs in front of a fan. The house mezcales were all great; we tried 6 of them.
Google maps makes a lot of ‘craft beer’ promises in Oaxaca and doesn’t necessarily deliver on them. Luckily, La Mezcalerita is holding up their end of the bargain for the whole city. They have an extensive list of local bottled craft beers and enjoying one while watching the sunset from their rooftop balcony is one of the best experiences I’ve had since we arrived here. The food looked good too, although we were already on a ‘taco promise’ elsewhere. I had a First Ascent Double IPA by Ammon and it was VERY good.
A hidden gem. One of the best mezcal selections. A very nice rooftop. And good service
