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.

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.

    Went for my husband’s birthday. The staff held us a lovely table, and were very friendly and welcoming. Our server was such a delight. Food was amazing! Their birria chimichanga was amazing. Definitely coming back to try the taco version. The staff served his dessert with a candle and they gave him a birthday card where all the staff signed well wishes. Overall made his night so special. A truly amazing place.

    Wonderful first time experience here. Drinks were tasty. Loved the truffle oil addition to the guacamole we ordered. I had shrimp tacos which were very well seasoned. My friend ordered the cauliflower entree. And it was delicious. Service was attentive. Our waitress was very friendly. I can’t wait to come back.

    After the museum, we were a big group for lunch. There was a happy hour menu with drinks and some food options. Tacos were great, spicy and hibiscus margaritas were very good, and those who had sandwiches also really enjoyed. Prices were very fair (cheap even). Service excellent. Highly recommend!
