WELCOME TO THE MULE.
We’re not your traditional Mexican place. We just happen to think that tacos are a dish best served fun, with a side of liquor. Welcome to The Mule, where tacos, tequila and bourbon come to party.
Located in one of Hamilton’s most beautiful spaces, we think we’ll be your new favourite lunch spot, your regular late-night haunt and your go-to destination for a good drink. Our bartenders have crafted a bourbon- and tequila-focused cocktail menu that will surprise and fascinate, and we also have a variety of beers on tap.
And don’t forget the food. From baja wings to brisket tacos, our menu offers an approachable and fresh twist on your favourite flavours from way down south. Our tacos range from classic Mexican to weird-and-wild-you’ve-gotta-try-this. All of our food is 100% gluten-free and we offer a variety of fare that is sure to delight your vegetarian and vegan side.

Service was excellent, drinks really good as well as the tacos, I just found that the music was loud and too much noise it was hard to have a conversation.

What a great time at the Mule (Hamilton)! The service was excellent from start to finish. Our server was helpful, fun and answered all our questions! We got the current special which seemed very reasonable and was delicious! Highly recommend The Mule!

The Mule never disappoints - their brussel sprout tacos are to die for! And their new sweet potato tacos are almost as good. Margaritas are the best outside of Mexico! Only one more thing - please open up a location in Toronto so we don't have to drive so far!

Laura, you are too kind! Although we haven't made it that far yet, we do have a sister restaurant in Burlington (Burro). We can't wait to see you again soon!

What happened to this place??? 1. Music was TOO LOUD. We had to speak loudly just to hear each other at our table. Which in turn makes others speak louder nearby. We asked our server if they could turn it down just a bit (and I’m not one of those that walks in to a restaurant and demands it be done by my way)…….we were told he would ask but not sure there’s much that can be done (and nothing was done)???? Unless the landlord controls the stereo and it’s under lock and key I find this answer to be utterly ridiculous. Last I checked the music is for the guests not the staff. 2. Wings - about the smallest they can possibly sell. The wings at Fortinos, No Frills, Dominos, any wing joint are much bigger. These weee child size - tasted pretty good but just poor to offer that small of size. Bigger wings and fewer of them perhaps so it doesn’t look so cheap. 3. Tacos - good flavour but a few were soggy and dripping and overpacked. The “liquid” in these would have turned a hard shell taco soft. 4. Desert - very good! Well done here! I’ve eaten here over a dozen times and not sure I’ll be returning anytime soon. Even if the food was 10/10 it’s way too loud!

Hi Michael, Thank you for your continued visits, and taking the time to leave some honest feedback. While we don't always like to hear it; it is important that we do hear when things could have been better. We are sorry to hear that your recent visit wasn't a great one and will be reaching out privately to hopefully continue the conversation.
