WELCOME TO MEZCALITOAt Mezcalito We're a family, united by our love for great food, vibrant music, and exceptional service.Thriving to ensure we are the family oriented joint you are happy to dine at.MEZCALITO was born in early 2015, when founders saw the need for a restaurant for all. Something that would meet in the middle where we could serve food and drinks for all pallets and socio-economic groups, because all deserve to have a unique experience they cannot have elsewhere- nice music, beautiful scenery, good food, and great drinks. This was then when owners overcame their own personal fears of pursuing their real dream of having something of their own after working for decades elsewhere. Always with the purpose to proudly serve flavorful and colorful meals that better describe the origins of Mexican cuisine; bringing new flare and fresh ideas by incorporating trendy and traditional authentic elements.

Parkside believes in continuing this tradition in every way. From the warm red brick and reclaimed barn wood clad bar to the NC solid poplar tabletops, we want our guests to feel welcome.

Our menu is inspired by our family’s recipes—an extension of home and a love letter to our parents.A few notes for your visit: Reservations are highly recommended, but our bar is first come, first served. We offer a 15-minute grace period—please call if you're running late, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.Thank you for being here. We can’t wait to welcome you.

    The salmon salad and heirloom tomatoes with arugula and goat cheese was divine. I just loved the combination! It was totally compliant with my diet of eating fresh veggies and lean fish with no sauces or flour and sugar! Thank you for being a standout in that quest for REAL and NON-PROCESSED food!

    Our family had a birthday dinner at Mezcalito today. Sonja the manager worked with us due to how large our group was beautifully. She was so kind and accommodating. The icing on the cake was our server Jason. He was amazing! He was patient, kind and fun. He served our large group so smoothly that it seemed effortless on his part. His experience was obvious and appreciated. We had a great time! We will return and suggest that you give this place a try! Drinks are amazing too!!
