Price: Moderate
• Mexican • Jacksonville Beach
Booked 10 times today
Contemporary Mexican Cuisine in a modern setting. Curated Mezcal and Tequila menus to match authentic Oaxacan and regional Mexican food.At Oaxaca Club, each dish tells a story of ancient recipes and cooking techniques passed down through generations. From our traditional hand-made piquín, verde, and chipotle salsas, to our delicate Aguachile Amarillo with fresh serranos and quelites, to our hearty bone-in braised short-rib birria, we see it as our mission to capture the essence of Oaxaca's endless love affair with food, and bring a little piece of Oaxaca to you.Similar to wine, Mezcal reflects where it's grown; in Oaxaca's sun-soaked hills and rugged valleys, ancient agave plants absorb the region's rich volcanic soils, imbuing the spirit with a subtle earthiness. Our carefully curated menu is always evolving with the seasons, ensuring each visit brings the freshest and most vibrant flavors to your table and to those you share it with.
