Stylish, industrial-modern cantina for Southern Mexican dining & drinking, focused on mezcal & mole.
"The Southern Mexican restaurant and mezcal bar in Shaw will offer drink and flight specials from Saturday, October 30, through Tuesday, November 2. On those days, Espita will start pouring its ponche para Los Muertos (Pasote reposado tequila, pomegranate, piloncillo, Mexican marigold, ginger) at 4 p.m. Over in the Union Market district, sister spot Las Gemelas will pour the same punch along with a Fantasma cocktail (horchata, rum, pineapple, orange) and the Calavera (cold brew cordial, mezcal, vanilla)." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"This Oaxaca-influenced restaurant responded to the pandemic by launching a Ghostburger pop-up and relying on its fully covered side patio." - Adele Chapin
"The Southern Mexican mainstay in Shaw celebrates with strawberry cocktails that fold in honey, Yucatán liqueur, and cacao-coconut. Taqueria Las Gemelas, its new sister spot inside La Cosecha market in Northeast, offers a special strawberry frozen margarita for $11." - Tierney Plumb
"Espita is a popular high-end Mexican restaurant and mezcal bar located in Shaw. It is known for its heirloom corn tortillas and dishes like pork shank confit in manchamanteles-style mole. The restaurant is expanding with new projects at La Cosecha market." - Gabe Hiatt
"Espita is also getting in on the big game fun with a party pack. The deal includes two cheesesteaks (cut to make it shareable), two pounds of Fresno chile wings, and a six-pack of Victoria for $55. Upgrade options are also available upon request." - Vinciane Ngomsi
