Across the diverse, rugged terrain of Oaxaca, generations of maestro mezcaleros practice their craft with innate care, producing small-batch mezcals of the highest quality. At La Mezca, the newest venture from the sisters behind Veracruz All Natural, guests are transported into a darkly brooding space that embraces the drink’s roots as a ritualistic libation. Inspired by chef Reyna Vazquez’s travels south of the border, the concept focuses on the popular Mexican spirit made from agave plants.

From the team behind the Veracruz All Natural empire, La Mezca is a mezcaleria located right next to their Mueller sit-down spot. In addition to a full bar—and a large selection of agave spirits—they’re offering a small menu of street-style tacos and botanas. The bar is open to the public Wednesday-Sunday, with Mondays and Tuesdays reserved for private events, tastings, and classes. 

Sisters Reyna and Maritza Vasquez have announced their latest project, La Mezca, which brings Mexican mezcals and seasonal cocktails to the Mueller area.

The sisters behind Austin's popular Veracruz All Natural taquerías are starting another new venture. La Mezca, an "intimate mezcalería," will open this summer at 1905 Aldrich St., the space next door to Veracruz Fonda & Bar in the Mueller neighborhood.

A mezcal cocktail at La Mezca, the Austin bar led by the Vazquez sisters to highlight Mexican spirits and flavors.

The Vazquez sisters of Veracruz All Natural have launched La Mezca, an intimate mezcalería celebrating artisanal mezcal producers. Featuring over 20 small-batch agave spirits, the bar, led by Sebastian Cajas and Bryan Ruiz, will educate guests on mezcal's story, varieties, and production. Inspired by Mexican traditions and Día de los Muertos ofrendas, the vibrant space blends traditional and modern design, aiming to educate and honor their heritage while building a cultural bridge in Austin.
