Espita

Espita is Washington DC’s premier southern Mexican restaurant and Mezcal bar. We strive to take traditional Oaxacan and Southern Mexican flavors and push outside the box of classic Mexican cuisine and beverages.

Espita is a fine casual restaurant with 60 dining seats inside, 20 bar seats, and 38 outside dining seats, serving Dinner, Lunch, Brunch, and a limited Happy Hour menu. Our kitchen makes every component fresh, including nixtamalizing and grinding corn imported from Oaxaca. Our high volume cocktail bar focuses on a collection of roughly 100+ artisanal mezcales, and non-traditional cocktails highlighting the varied and exciting flavors that mezcal can offer.
