The editorial take
The agave program is the reason to come: more than 1,000 agave spirits, including tequila, mezcal, sotol, and raicilla, with 200-plus tequilas listed A–Z by shelf number and per-pour prices from $10 to $175. There is a house Meximodo Tequila, woman-owned and made in Mexico, plus curated tastings.
- What should I order?
- Start with a pour from the tequila list — Fortaleza Blanco at $29 or G4 'Blue Label' Blanco at $27 — or go deep with the 123 'Diablito Rojo' Extra Añejo at $175. The coconut Mezcalita, ordered without agave, is the cocktail to try; reviewers have called it amazing when it lands as intended.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Agave drinkers who want to compare blancos, reposados, and extra añejos by shelf number and price, and anyone curious about a house-brand tequila made in Mexico. Cocktail-focused groups will find a dedicated menu and recurring events, though the bar's consistency has drawn mixed reports.
- When should I go?
- The venue runs recurring cocktail-focused events including happy hour, Taco Tuesday, Fiesta Latina, and Brunch Fiesta, and lists tequila tastings among upcoming events. Those scheduled occasions are the most concrete reason to plan a visit.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Tequila pours range from $10 for everyday blancos such as Abre Ojos Silver and El Jimador Blanco to $175 for the 123 'Diablito Rojo' Extra Añejo. Mid-tier pours include Don Julio Blanco at $16, Casamigos Blanco at $14, and Clase Azul Plata at $43.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A 1,033-plus agave spirits collection, 200-plus tequilas listed A–Z with shelf numbers and prices, curated tasting experiences, and a house Meximodo Tequila that is woman-owned and made in Mexico. The venue brands itself as the World's Largest Tequila Bar.

Cocktails
A dedicated cocktail menu and recurring events such as happy hour, Taco Tuesday, Fiesta Latina, and Brunch Fiesta give the bar a real cocktail identity. A coconut Mezcalita earned strong praise, but a bartender's account of repeated off-spec drinks after a substitution request and an unremarkable El Jefe keep this category merely competent.
Menu strengths
- — Dedicated cocktail menu with recurring cocktail-focused events including happy hour, Taco Tuesday, Fiesta Latina, and Brunch Fiesta
- — Cocktail packages available for private events; Reviewers described the cocktails as delicious and consistently enjoyable, with one noting each successive drink was better than the last
Standout selections
- — Coconut Mezcalita — ordered without agave, the first mezcalita was praised as amazing
- — El Jefe — a bartender reviewer found it unremarkable
