What it might be: an attempt to capitalize on a current cultural trend of mezcals and tequilas.
Nestled next to Toast in the railroad district, upon entering the vibes are immaculate. Walking through the outdoor entrance you find yourself in a small court yard with scattered flora and outdoor seating complete with repurposed cargo containers and various unique seating arrangements. It felt social and warm and beckoned you to share a quiet relaxing night out with friends or that special someone.
Once inside, the mood is mellow. The low lighting, the choice of lighting, the colors, all mesh well to create an environment that, while not distinctly Hispanic or Latino, tells you that was the intention.
The bar, as in most places, was the epicenter of activity. Grab a menu, pick your drinks and food, and order from the bartender. The bar was nice with wooden counter tops, corrugated metal siding, low lighting, decent decorations, and a neatly organized and expansive selection of spirits. The bartenders were delightful and knowledgeable at their craft.
We started with the “Flaming Motorbike Cage of Death” which had a Serrano pepper liqueur that was subtle yet brought the heat. Definitely a highlight of the night. And, a “New Boot Goofin” which was bartenders choice and ended up being a rum twist on an old fashioned that was underwhelming. For food we started with the Carnitas tacos and Chicken Tinga tacos all the way including pickled red onion, guacamole, and salsa verde. While good, they were nothing to write home about.
For our second round we ordered an Aperol Pupper and a chocolate martini (a tradition when eating out with my partner). The Aperol Pupper was a typical Aperol spritz with not much to note. The chocolate martini, while not on the menu, was something the bartender was delighted to make and did not disappoint with. It was not cream based, which is what we look for. While I don’t know the exact ingredients used, it had strong but subtle chocolate and orange notes and was finished with a spritz of spiced cacao.
We finished up with an order of chips and queso (which might be one of the best quesos I’ve ever had).
Overall the service was amazing. There was a mix up with our order and the cook came out and apologized and offered to fix our order free of charge (although the bartender later added it to our tab). The bartenders were lively and knowledgeable making cocktails that were good and heavily focused on, of course, mezcal and tequila.
If you’re looking to experience decent Mexican food and take part in the mezcal trend, this spot does the job. Just don’t expect to be blown away or overly impressed.
I will be back!
The veggie nachos are my go-to. As far as drinks, you can go casual with a beer or simple glass of bubbles OR have an exquisitely crafted cocktail. All their syrups are made in house and are so fresh and delish!
Truly a Norfolk staple… I’m a fan!
