Located near downtown Orlando, Reyes Mezcaleria offers a unique blend of regionally inspired Mexican cuisine with an inviting bar experience. It was founded in 2017 by the creative minds of local restaurateurs Jason and Sue Chin, and helmed by a Michoacán native, the talented and renowned Chef Wendy Lopez. She gathered the inspiration for her menu by visiting Mexico often and studying the Oaxacan culture and culinary traditions, which have been significant in bringing that authentic feeling that most guests crave when they walk through that door.
The meaning behind the “Mezcaleria” in Reyes Mezcaleria is that unique experience that perfectly blends in a party environment with handcrafted cocktails and wines, while simultaneously offering a lounging experience that helps bring a certain kind of peace that stays with you even after you leave the restaurant.
If I were to leave you with a recommendation from their menu, it would be the Oaxacan chicken enchiladas, which includes a mole negro that takes days of preparation, coupled with queso fresco and white onion.
