Bar seating is Walk In Only, no Reservations Required!Meximodo is a modern casa for bold Mexican cooking, legendary margaritas, and a world-record-breaking tequila bar. Our chefs fire-kiss al pastor on the trompo, slow-braise birria until it melts, and hand-press warm tortillas for tacos piled high with market-fresh salsas and crisp-bright ceviches. The bar is pure theater: lime squeezed to order, salt-rim rituals, frozen swirls and top-shelf, shaken-hard margaritas, plus agave flights that journey from tequila blancos to single-village mezcals. With a record-setting wall of rare bottles and private tequila lockers waiting for your name, Meximodo turns every night into a celebration. High-energy vibes, generous hospitality, and flavors that hit like a drum. Come for the tacos and margs, stay to explore the collection. Welcome to Meximodo: where Mexico’s soul meets modern style, and every sip and bite brings you back for more.
