Word on the street is downtown Sarasota has a new after-hours lounge. Open every Saturday 10 p.m.–2 a.m., this authentic Mex-eclectic restaurant offers more than just the town’s best margaritas. Owned and operated by Mitch Good and Matt Hess on the corner of North Palm Avenue and Main Street, El Melvin Cocina Mexicana is only five minutes from the famous Unconditional Surrender statue along Bayfront Park. Every first Saturday of the month, El Melvin delivers Tulum-inspired music with performances from top international DJs, exotic fire dancers and surprise entertainers. With capacity limitations, private V.I.P. tables are available for purchase.
If you are anything like me, tequila makes every hour happier! El Melvin offers delicious tacos, appetizers and drinks on special 4–7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and all-day Taco Tuesday specials big enough to feed an entire group—pitchers large enough, too!
El Melvin has become a favorite spot for my friends. Captured within the heart of Sarasota, El Melvin is a restaurant during the day transformed by night, offering authentic Mexican cuisine in a modern environment that provides a fine-dining experience filled with life and culture. Please take my word when I say the margarita is the best in Florida!
