Espiritu Cocktails & Comida - Review - Mesa - Phoenix - The Infatuation

"This tiny downtown Mesa Mexican bar-restaurant has strong drinks, spicy food, and a vibe that dares you to cancel your next plans for another margarita and a bowl of aguachile verde before the kitchen closes. The crowd is a mix of date-night couples sharing pretty cocktails and East Valley lifers who have been coming to this Main Street spot since opening day in 2022. It’s just the right amount of dark for a cocktail spot with a backdoor entrance, and the Latin trap and reggaeton is always turned up to 10. It’s the kind of place where sipping a Los Caidos or splitting birria dumplings with friends takes you back to that one long weekend you spent in CDMX." - Lauren Topor
