Questions?
Parking, groups, walk ins, kids, dietary needs and more are in the FAQ. Anything else, ask our assistant or write to hola@meximodo.com.
Do I need a reservation?
Not strictly. Walk ins are seated whenever there is room. We do recommend one, especially Friday through Sunday, and a short wait is possible even with one. Bar seating is walk in only, first come first served. The bar seats up to 24.
How many people can I book online?
Up to 13. If the calendar will not accept your party size, email hola@meximodo.com with the date, time, party size and location and the team confirms directly. Celebrating? Party packages start at 12 guests and guarantee the group sits together. Groups of 14 or more are hosted as private events.
Is there a fee, a card hold or a cancellation policy?
The OpenTable default applies: no fee and no card hold. Holidays, peak nights and large parties can carry their own rules, and the booking page shows them for your date.
Where do I park?
The Pearl Street Parking Garage is directly behind the restaurant at 1 Pearl Street, 769 spaces over 6 levels. Bring your ticket to the host stand and we validate it, so parking is free for Meximodo guests. On Saturdays and Sundays the town also gives one free hour in the deck, 6am to 2pm.
Does happy hour apply at my table?
No, happy hour is bar seating only, Monday to Thursday from 4pm to 6pm, walk in and first come first served. $9 margaritas, $7 wine, $6 beer.
Can I sit outside? Can I bring my dog?
The Patio is open air on the plaza and seasonal. Dogs are welcome out there when the weather works. Outdoor seating depends on the weather and cannot be guaranteed in advance.
Is there a kids menu?
Yes. There is a kids menu and the place was built to be family friendly.
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or allergies?
Vegetarian options run across the menu and most of them can go vegan. Most dishes are or can be made gluten free with corn tortillas, just tell your server since it is not marked on the menu. The kitchen uses ingredients that contain common allergens and makes reasonable efforts to accommodate requests, but no item can be guaranteed allergen free. Severe allergies, tell the team and the kitchen confirms what is possible.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual.
Do you offer takeout?
Takeout is available through Toast online ordering.
Are you open on holidays?
