Introducing the Menu at Mezcali
Mezcali, nestled in the heart of New York City, offers an expertly crafted Mexican menu that strikes a perfect balance between tradition and innovation. The small plates, such as Crab Empanadas filled with jumbo lump crab and gulf shrimp, paired with a smoky fresno chili dip, set the tone for a vibrant dining experience. Freshness shines in the Tuna Tostadas, showcasing sushi-grade tuna atop a crispy pressed corn base with yuzu kosho and pickled onions, highlighting coastal Mexican flavors infused with subtle Asian notes.
The big plates deliver robust, satisfying mains like the Baja Bowl—grilled ribeye crowned with a sunny-side egg and guajillo salsa—and the indulgent Chicken Relleno, wrapped in bacon and served with calistyle mole verde. Complemented by shareable sides such as guacamole and black beans, each dish invites you to savor authentic yet elevated Mexican tastes. With warm atmosphere and attentive service, Mezcali’s menu is a celebration of culture, crafted with passion and finesse.
