The lights are off and the doors are locked at Hamilton taco & tequila joint Mezcal, as the restaurant appears to have permanently closed its doors.
The closure comes amid a massive swirling of allegations of abuse and harassment against restaurant owner and operator Manny Ferreira, who is currently under investigation for sexual assault.
A report in the Hamilton Spectator – which has also been doing ongoing coverage of the vast and varied allegations against Ferreira – notes that Mezcal has not renewed its business license for the year, as confirmed by the city’s municipal licensing and enforcement department.

While no formal announcement from the restaurant has been made regarding the closure, all of Mezcal’s social media accounts have remained inactive since February, and the restaurant’s presence on delivery apps like Uber Eats is no longer active either.
Mezcal was a hot spot for tacos and tequila served in cozy, ambient quarters when it originally opened on James South back in 2015. It was later accompanied by a sister spot directly below the restaurant, a cocktail lounge called Uno Mas, which closed its doors a few months ago.
More details of Mezcal’s closure have yet to be made public; although, curiously, a Google search notes Mezcal as “temporarily closed,” raising questions of whether or not the taco bar will attempt to make its return in the future.
