A Culinary Adventure in Mexico at Una Más – Mezcaleria in Sea Point

Una Más – Mezcaleria, located in the vibrant neighborhood of Sea Point, has quickly become a go-to spot for food and spirit enthusiasts. The restaurant’s menu and expansive selection of spirits are crafted with a passion for authentic Mexican cuisine, tequila, and mezcal. Paying homage to the ancestral traditions of the celebrated mezcal spirit, which is considered the spirit of the gods, Una Más offers a unique dining experience that will leave you yearning for more.

The Rapidly Growing Mezcal Market in Cape Town

Since it opened in February of last year, Una Más has played a significant role in the growth of Cape Town’s mezcal market. Mezcal’s smoky and complex flavors have captured the hearts of many, making it the fastest-growing spirit globally. The tequila and mezcal industry in Mexico faces challenges to meet the worldwide demand as agave plants require up to ten years to mature before being harvested and distilled. Despite these challenges, mezcal continues to captivate enthusiasts and connoisseurs worldwide.
