Stumbled upon this taco and mezcal restaurant in Old Town, pleasantly surprised, everything was fantastic. They had happy hour on Saturday which was surprising and the chips and salsa were complimentary, I ordered guac and quesadillas (both were VERY good!). The house cocktail was good too, very light and refreshing. Bar seating and service was wonderful. Didn't realize til I was about to leave that there's a speakeasy there but it's reservation only, def will need to check it out next time.

Cute little sins themed speakeasy. Didn’t love that there was a two drink minimum and the space was pretty cramped, but the cocktails were tasty and unique!

Mystic spot next to an Old Town cemetery, the building is mildly possessed by kind spirits.
The alcohol menu is very selective with no fillers. Happy hour is 4-5pm.

We made reservation and came in on a Saturday at 9. They were short staffed so we were not allowed to sit outside. The waitress was nice but due to her being the only server she didn’t make her way to us for awhile. The drinks didn’t come out until we were done with the food which was unusual. I probably wouldn’t come back due to price and lack of service.

Having dinner at Tahona and then drinks at Oculto is at dining experience you won't stop talking about. The food is fantastic and the hidden speakeasy has such amazing vibes.
