We loved everything about our dining experience at Mezcaleria Alma! We've been to Alma Fonda Fina and to be quite honest, we loved Mezcalaria Alma much more. The food, energy, and servers/bartenders were all outstanding. We felt so welcomed and taken care of.

Really wonderful visit last night seated at the chef's counter. The workers were so knowledgable and fun to talk to while they prepped our food. The food was incredible and came out at the perfect pace. The scallops and emmoladas de pollo were incredible. Cannot wait to go back again.
