Drift Mezcal Bar + Kitchen serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with menus full of locally sourced and expertly curated culinary dishes.

Start the day with Chilaquiles, a Breakfast Burrito, or Huevos Rancheros, or a full selection of lighter bites like Avocado Toast, or Fruit Parfaits. Lunch and dinner includes a wide selection of tacos, tortas, and salads, like Quesa Birria Tacos or the Al Pastor Torta.

Drinks are served all day, with deep pours of smoky mezcal served straight up or mixed into classic cocktails, like the Paloma, Mezcal Margarita, or the Oaxacan Old Fashioned. As you sit and sip Mexico’s favorite agave-based spirit, Baja breezes might waft in with the smoke of agave roasting in Oaxaca.

An amazing little hidden gem with fantastic food and cocktails. Service was outstanding, the staff made us feel right at home. If you’re into mezcal, you definitely need to visit as their selection is huge! Some of the best tacos and tortas in SJDC.

Very tasteful and charming spot one block off the main drag in downtown San Jose. Came here with friends and the food, service and ambience were spot on. We felt like we discovered a hidden gem.

A lovely setting in San Jose del Cabo. Everything was perfect- the weather, the drinks, the food and the service. We had the carnitas tacos, tuna appetizer and the seafood tacos- everything was freshly prepared & delicious. The service was attentive & friendly - like eating at a friend's home. We would come back again. Thank you for making our visit a fantastic experience.

Cool place for a quick lunch. Hidden. Great cocktails and nice venue with outdoor seating. Eclectic menu but nice Mexican fusion cuisine. Queso fundido a must.
