A Mother’s Day rooted in tradition, love, and family.
At Mezcal, every tortilla tells a story—and this Sunday, Adolfo Gomez is honoring the women who shaped his journey: his mom (who still hand-makes the tortillas daily), his grandmother, and all the incredible mothers in our community.
Outside, you’ll find their legacy painted in a beautiful mural. Inside, you’ll taste it in every bite—and in every sip of their signature cocktail, Mi Mama.
Celebrate this Mother’s Day the Mezcal way: with family, flavor, and heart.
Make your Mother’s Day reservation today at Mezcal!
