Meximodo Metuchen: The Original Home of Agave Culture in New Jersey

Before Jersey City’s grand debut, Meximodo Metuchen set the stage for what has become one of New Jersey’s most talked-about dining concepts. Located at 5 Pearl Street in Metuchen, this is where Le Malt Hospitality Group first introduced its bold vision—a modern Mexican restaurant that fuses high-end design, inventive cuisine, and an unmatched love for agave spirits.

When Meximodo opened its doors in late 2023, it immediately transformed Metuchen’s downtown dining scene. It’s not just another Mexican restaurant—it’s a full-sensory experience that celebrates the heart of Mexico with a sophisticated New Jersey edge.

A Vision Brought to Life
Created by Saurabh Abrol, the founder of Le Malt Hospitality Group, Meximodo was designed to be a vibrant, family-friendly restaurant that also appeals to serious food and drink enthusiasts. The inspiration came directly from the culture, craft, and flavors of Mexico, blending authentic ingredients with a stylish, contemporary approach. From the food to the cocktails to the music, every element was carefully chosen to reflect the energy and artistry of Mexican tradition.

A Record-Breaking Bar Experience
One of the biggest draws at Meximodo Metuchen is its record-setting collection of tequila, mezcal, and other agave-based spirits—officially recognized as one of the largest in the world. The bar is lined floor-to-ceiling with bottles representing Mexico’s diverse distilleries, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for guests. The extensive selection allows for creative cocktail programs, tequila flights, and rare pours, giving both newcomers and aficionados a true taste of agave craftsmanship.

Cuisine That Honors Tradition and Innovation
Meximodo’s menu strikes a balance between the comfort of traditional Mexican dishes and the innovation of a modern kitchen. Signature tacos, grilled meats, fresh seafood, and creative shareable plates highlight authentic flavors elevated with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Brunch is also a highlight on weekends, offering an inventive mix of sweet and savory favorites that blend classic Mexican dishes with brunch-time staples.

For those with plant-based preferences, the kitchen offers several vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes that maintain the same bold, authentic flavor that defines the entire menu.

Design, Ambiance, and Experience
Step inside Meximodo Metuchen and you’ll be immersed in a lively atmosphere where every detail tells a story. The interiors feature warm lighting, handcrafted décor, and vibrant artwork that nods to Mexican heritage. The bar area serves as a centerpiece, with its glowing bottles and dynamic energy creating an inviting social space. Outdoor seating adds another dimension, perfect for warm evenings and late-night gatherings.

The space is often buzzing with conversation and music, making it ideal for celebrations, group dinners, and date nights alike. It’s a place where the atmosphere matches the flavor—bold, modern, and full of life.

Community and Sustainability
Beyond its menu and design, Meximodo also takes a mindful approach to sustainability. The restaurant uses eco-friendly packaging, recycled glassware, and agave-based biodegradable straws as part of its effort to reduce waste and honor the earth—values deeply rooted in Mexican culture and the spirit of agave itself.

The Metuchen Legacy
What truly sets Meximodo apart is its ability to blend culture and creativity in a way that feels effortless. The Metuchen location remains the brand’s heart and inspiration—a place where agave, artistry, and community come together. It’s not just where the story began; it’s where New Jersey discovered how bold, stylish, and dynamic a Mexican dining experience can be.
