A New Mexican Inspired Food Experience
Cooking with a conscience is what we do. From our pickles and salsas to smoked cheeses, we make it all here. We source out the best products both locally and abroad. Buying seasonal produce from Ontario is not only good for the economy, it tastes better too! If it’s not 100% agava tequila, we won’t serve it. No way Jose!
Locally Fresh
Our restaurant is small, but the atmosphere is huge. As you walk into Mezcal you are greeted with an inviting, contemporary and authentic cantina-inspired dining environment. Custom wood fixtures, exposed brick walls, and an impressive bar filled from floor to ceiling with the best 100% agave tequilas. This is the real stuff, and we make some killer cocktails that will quickly become your new favs.
“Hot on the heels of his victorious turn on the Food Network’s Chopped Canada, Hamilton chef Manny Ferreira has erupted onto James Street South with Mezcal TNT (the TNT stands for Tacos and Tequila) — a phenomenal Mexican eatery that leapt from “now open” to “hottest damn spot in town” seemingly overnight and with good reason: tremendous attention has been paid to every aspect of your visit starting with the stylishly authentic cantina-inspired dining environment — complete with the Mezcal rendition of the Mexican “sugar skull” — to the masterfully balanced and delicious tacos like the “pollo tinga” (succulent pulled chicken in chipotle sauce) or, my favourite, “chorizo pastor” with pineapple and chorizo sausage as gorgeous and captivating as Salma Hayek.”
– Hamilton Magazine, Dave Hanley
While our experience is big, our space is small which
means our capacity is limited.
Please note that during busy peak times (particularly Fridays and Saturdays) the max seating time is 1 1/2 hours in order to allow the next party to sit.
If you arrive and we are full, we will put you on our waiting list to be notified as soon as a table becomes available. Once notified, we will hold the table for 5 minutes. If your party does not arrive, we will proceed to the next name on the list in order to speed up our wait list and ensure a fair dining experience for guests patiently waiting to dine with us. Thank you for your co-operation!
We strive to be able to accommodate as many guests as possible to
enjoy the unique Mezcal experience.
Thank you for your co-operation!

Testimonial
”
"Really great Mexican inspired cuisine. Well made dishes. Great service…Guacamole is a fav due to the freshly cooked corn chips.”
"Manny Ferreira brings his Latin-inspired cuisine to life in this sophisticated setting"
"The Cicharones were an absolute knock out and I want it every day forever. Each fried Pork Rind brought all the happy to my soul. ... I haven’t had Cicharones on this level since I was in Mexico a couple years back."
"The cicharones were heavenly. Chunks of meaty and fatty pork rind covered in hot sauce and sprinkled with feta, it was melt-in-your-mouth tender…it was just amazing, order it.”
"Mezcal TNT is about first-class service with traditional Mexican dishes reimagined by a visionary chef and beautiful cocktails”
"I tried the new Shrimp taco (dirty rice, avocado tomatillo salsa, chili coco lime cream, pea shoots). Verdict: Delicious."
