Vas Que Vuelas Mezcalería — Restaurant in Ildefonso Green

My first time visiting a Mezcaleria! No complaints... can't think of a better place to visit one! We stopped by here on a rather toasty summer afternoon. What a relief it was to indulge in cold drinks! The heat did a number on me, I can't seem to remember what we consumed in detail...

A very local spot; good size venue with some eccentric decor. The specialty here is obviously Mezcal and they have a very healthy selection of it. They have Mezcal tastings and make some brilliant craft Mezcal cocktails..

~ Rosemary water - 5/5 Yes, yes...I know its just water with Rosemary in it... but on a HOT & HUMID toasty summer day this sooo refreshing and much needed! Oh...and its free! This is the water served here!

#SmokeyDranks ~ RED HEART - 5/5 One of the best Hibiscus cocktails I had! just amazing...slightly citrussy and refreshing.

~ MEZCALITA SEASONAL - 5/5 I believe this was Mango. I could be wrong...the heat did a number on me that day. Either way it was delicious!

~ Taco - 5/5 For the life of me I can't remember which Taco I got...but it was delicious! and I believe everything was made in house, including the Tortilla!

I'd return in a...

We stumbled across this place while walking our dog. The ambiance and decor caught our eye, so we decided to take a look inside. The vibrant colors and art work just drew us in like a moth to a flame. The host greatest us with warm and inviting eye because he was wearing a mask. He let us know our dog was welcome so we sat down.

They told us a little story about how the place and brought us the menu. We loved the simplicity of it, 5-6 things giving us the feeling that it was going to be quality. We ordered one of everything to share and when they asked us about drinks we told them to surprise us with Mezcal just because of the fact it was a Mezcaleria.

When our first plate came out followed with an Anejo Mezcal we were blown away. The presentation, color and flavor, rivaling some of the most exclusive places in the states. That feeling just kept building with ever plate that followed.

If you are looking for a great meal with the venue to match, this is the place for you. We hope you enjoy it as...

The best aguachile I've had in Mexico. Very flavorful and a great twist from the norm. Love the cocktails. They were interesting and delicious... balanced and strong! Service was super friendly, welcoming, and hospitable.

The chef is from Oaxaca. When he found out we loved the mole from there he made us a sample of a soup broth. It was so good!

My friends and I ordered cocktails, a mezcal tasting (5 tastings 1 ounce each for 650 pesos), and several orders of the aguachile. We also ordered suadero (mixed pork), fish tacos, and guacamole to go. There was a special sauce on top of the guacamole. Maybe a fancy salsa macha with toasted seeds? Everything was delicious but I would recommend the aguachile and suadero tacos as a must!

The restaurant is super cute, bright, and colorful with lots of quirky decor. I look forward to coming back next time...
