How to Approach the Agave Menu at Mexi Stone Street
At Mexi’s Financial District location, a little curiosity can turn a long spirits list into a more personal order.
01
Start with the right location
Mexi describes itself as a mezcaleria and taqueria, with locations in Brooklyn and Manhattan’s Financial District. Its website gives the Stone Street location a dedicated Mexican spirits list alongside a separate food-and-drink menu page.
That makes location the first detail to check. A menu or reservation for Brooklyn should not be assumed to apply to Stone Street. Once you are looking at the right page, treat the list as the beginning of a conversation with the bar.
02
Ask for a comparison you can understand
You do not need to recognize every producer to order thoughtfully. Tell the bartender what you already enjoy, what you would like to explore and your budget. Ask them to explain the bottle they suggest and confirm the pour size before agreeing.
- Which available pour would you choose for someone new to this category?
- What distinguishes it from the bottle I already know?
- Is there a smaller tasting pour or a suitable cocktail instead?
These are our suggested questions, not a promise that the bar offers a particular flight or service.
The useful bottle is the one you can learn something from.

Make it a meal
The Stone Street menu page describes Mexican dishes with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients and currently lists lunch Wednesday through Saturday, noon–4 p.m. Use that page to check the latest food and drink offerings before a visit.
For a group, decide first whether the occasion is lunch, dinner or a drink, then confirm the appropriate service directly. No bottle count or “best in New York” ranking is needed to make that plan useful.
