About

About Mezcalito

Mezcalito opened in San Francisco's Castro/Lower Haight neighborhood with a singular focus: bring serious agave spirits — mezcal and tequila in all their variety — to a casual, welcoming bar environment. The name reflects the diminutive affection Oaxacans have for mezcal, and the bar lives up to it with an extensive selection of single-origin mezcals, curated flight programs, and house-made margaritas that go well beyond the standard well-spirit pour.

The kitchen complements the bar program with a menu that ranges from coastal Mexican seafood — ceviches, tostadas, and shrimp dishes — to the heartier comfort of carnitas, fajitas, and slow-baked cochinita pibil. The Mezcalito Burger, a house-ground patty with smoked gouda and caramelized onions, has become an unlikely neighborhood staple for those who want something satisfying alongside their cocktails. Daily happy hour specials (5–6pm) keep things affordable even on a San Francisco budget.

Mezcalito also runs a Locker Program: guests can purchase a personal bottle of mezcal or tequila stored on-site for up to 60 days, served with house-made tajin, sal de gusano, and orange slices whenever claimed. It's a nod to the Mexican tradition of the personal bottle — and a sign of how seriously this bar takes its spirit program.
