A small, lively Mexican spot with standout margaritas, mezcal selection, and tacos al pastor; excellent flavors but portions run small and prices feel high to some.
The verdict
Mexcalista delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality anchored by authentic tacos al pastor and enchiladas, paired with attentive, personable service and a standout mezcal and tequila program. The reliable execution and charming literary quarter location support its reputation as a neighborhood favorite, though modest portions and premium cocktail pricing prevent it from reaching grade A territory, and the intimate space requires advance booking for preferred seating.
One caveat: Portions trend small; order accordingly or expect higher total spend
