Drift Mezcal Bar + Kitchen serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch with menus full of locally sourced and expertly curated culinary dishes.

Start the day with Chilaquiles, a Breakfast Burrito, or Huevos Rancheros, or a full selection of lighter bites like Avocado Toast, or Fruit Parfaits. Lunch and dinner includes a wide selection of tacos, tortas, and salads, like Quesa Birria Tacos or the Al Pastor Torta.

Drinks are served all day, with deep pours of smoky mezcal served straight up or mixed into classic cocktails, like the Paloma, Mezcal Margarita, or the Oaxacan Old Fashioned. As you sit and sip Mexico’s favorite agave-based spirit, Baja breezes might waft in with the smoke of agave roasting in Oaxaca.

Pillowy soft, homemade bread used for their tortas. Impeccable cocktails. Reasonably priced, casual bar food in a sleek, hip setting.

Relaxing vibe with great small plates and creative cocktails. Don’t expect big entrees, do not be in a rush, know they don’t take cash and enjoy.

Drift Kitchen + Mezcal Bar is a true hidden gem with incredible food and cocktails. The service was exceptional, and the staff made us feel completely at home. If you’re a mezcal enthusiast, this spot is a must-visit—their selection is impressive! The tacos and tortas are easily some of the best in San José del Cabo.

Very tasteful and charming spot one block off the main drag in downtown San Jose. Came here with friends and the food, service and ambience were spot on. We felt like we discovered a hidden gem.

A lovely setting in San Jose del Cabo. Everything was perfect- the weather, the drinks, the food and the service. We had the carnitas tacos, tuna appetizer and the seafood tacos- everything was freshly prepared & delicious. The service was attentive & friendly - like eating at a friend's home. We would come back again. Thank you for making our visit a fantastic experience.
