CDMX in NYC at El Mitote🌺
This spring, we’re joining the Metropolitan Opera for a citywide celebration of Mexican culture and the legacy of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
At El Mitote, we’re celebrating the moment with our Paloma, made with Yola mezcal, grapefruit soda, and agave — bright, smoky, and made for the night.
In honor of the premiere of El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego, on stage May 14 through June 5.
Join us on Columbus Avenue. Walk-ins welcome.

This spring, and for Earth Month, we wanted to give something back to the street that gives us so much🌎💕
Right outside El Mitote on Columbus Avenue, we refreshed our tree bed with seasonal flowers and greenery — bringing a little more color, a little more life, and a better everyday view for our neighbors.
This block is part of our home, and we care about how it feels. Spring in the Upper West Side just hits different when the street is alive.
If you’re walking by, pause for a second and take it in. It’s for you too🫶
