What I wrote thereFold it away

As you may have guessed, Mezcali is known for mezcal and margaritas, but you might be surprised to learn they also dish out some of the best brunch in the Financial District. Focusing on Southern California Mexican cuisine, the menu offers incredible options like the elote pancakes (short stack, berry compote, whipped butter) and steak and egg breakfast burritos.

I’m a fan of the smoky mezcalita and paloma spritz as well (both $9).

What I wrote thereFold it away

As you may have guessed, Mezcali is a prime spot for mezcal and margaritas. Frozen or on the rocks, the house margarita goes for $9 during happy hour, but you can customize it to your liking with additional flavors for $2. I’m a fan of the smoky mezcalita and paloma spritz as well (both $9).

If beer is more your speed, select drafts go for $7, wine for $9. As for the food, the happy hour menu has all the usual suspects, from creamy guacamole and bright salsa platters to incredible elote (roasted corn ribs, tajin mayo, cotija, cilantro) and toothsome nachos.

This Financial District happy hour spot is the perfect place to pre-game before your dinner reservation kicks in.
