Blurb: If you like Mexican food, tequila or mezcal, this Sea Point spot is a must-visit:
In the vibrant neighbourhood of Sea Point Una Más – Mezcaleria has taken the Cape Town culinary scene by storm. With its authentic Mexican cuisine, extensive range of tequila and mezcal and a passion for crafting mezcal cocktails, Una Más has become a go-to spot.
Did you know that mezcal is known as the spirit of the gods? Legend has it that the Aztecs stumbled upon this magical elixir when lightning struck an agave plant, releasing a divine liquid.
Una Más pays homage to this rich history by embracing the craft of mezcal production. As you sip on their mezcal cocktails, you can’t help but feel a connection to the ancient traditions that make this spirit so extraordinary.
Since its opening last February, Una Más has witnessed the exponential growth of the mezcal market in Cape Town. Mezcal, known for its smoky and complex flavours, has captured the hearts of many, quickly becoming the fastest-growing spirit around the world.
With agave plants taking up to a decade to mature before they can be harvested and distilled, the tequila and mezcal industry in Mexico is struggling to keep up with the global demand. It’s a fascinating craft that continues to captivate enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

And for the more adventurous foodies, Una Más offers the grillo chapulin, a taco with air-roasted edible crickets, avocado, parsley and a medley of fresh herbs.
