ABOUT MESA MAGUEY

Known for its mezcal cocktails and happy hour specials, the restaurant offers a menu featuring dishes like mole, tacos, enchiladas, soups, and ceviche. With a welcoming dining room and bar, Mesa Maguey has quickly gained attention for its flavorful, thoughtfully prepared plates. Mesa Maguey, 4031 Broadway (between 40th and 41st), Oakland.

FOOD & DRINKS
This mezcalería offers a curated selection of small-batch mezcal, including exclusive imports from San Luis Amatlán in Oaxaca. Featured brands like Tres Tiempos, produced by a single family, and Amateco, which highlights even smaller batch producers, showcase the bar’s dedication to quality. Alongside these mezcal offerings, the restaurant serves a range of Oaxacan dishes such as mole, tacos, and ceviche, providing a well-rounded dining experience that complements its extensive drink menu.
