A vibrant new destination featuring premium tequila and mezcal flights, handcrafted cocktails, authentic Mexican bites, and flavors inspired by the Yucatán.
WASHINGTON, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- District Taco is bringing a bold new experience to Dupont Circle (1919 M Street, NW, Washington, DC) with the launch of the Mezcaleria, an elevated mezcal and tequila bar located inside its flagship Dupont restaurant.
Inspired by the vibrant flavors, traditions, and hospitality of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, Mezcaleria transforms District Taco into a destination for agave enthusiasts, adventurous drink lovers, and anyone looking for a unique night out in Washington, D.C.
Guests can explore curated tequila and mezcal flights featuring some of Mexico's most celebrated spirits, alongside handcrafted cocktails, frozen margaritas, micheladas, and specialty agave-forward creations. Whether discovering mezcal for the first time or comparing premium expressions side-by-side, Mezcaleria offers an immersive tasting experience unlike anything else in the neighborhood.
Adding to the authenticity, complimentary chapulines (crispy seasoned crickets), a traditional Mexican delicacy popular throughout southern Mexico and the Yucatán region, will accompany each mezcal and tequila flight. Rich in flavor and deeply rooted in Mexican culinary culture, the snack offers visitors a taste of Mexico's vibrant food traditions.
The menu also features a selection of shareable bar bites designed to pair perfectly with agave spirits, creating a lively atmosphere ideal for after-work gatherings, date nights, celebrations, and weekend outings.
