Mesita Expands to Amityville: A Vibrant Fusion of Modern Mexican Cuisine and Historic Charm
After three years of careful planning and construction, Mesita—whose name translates to “small table”—has unveiled its fourth location in Amityville this weekend. Nestled in a historic former bank at 8 Green Ave., the new venue perfectly marries traditional Mexican culinary excellence with a modern, vibrant atmosphere. With a rich menu, imaginative cocktails, and an interior that transports guests straight to a Mexican plaza, Mesita is set to become the go-to destination for an unforgettable dining experience.
A Culinary Journey Rooted in Tradition

A Toast to Imagination: The Specialty Drink Experience
Complementing the stellar food offerings is Mesita’s extensive specialty drink menu.

With over 200 tequilas and nine distinct margarita flavors, there’s something to delight every palate.
An Iconic Venue Reimagined
Housed in a century-old bank building that has retained its 1907 exterior charm, the Amityville location offers more than just great food and drinks—it provides an immersive experience. The interior, transformed by renowned artist Craig Banks of Seaford, features soaring two-story spaces filled with art that stretches to the ceilings, illuminated trees, and ornate iron balconies. Banks’ vision was to bring the outdoors in, creating an ambiance reminiscent of a Mexican zócalo, or village plaza. This unique design invites guests to relax and enjoy a dining experience that feels both culturally rich and refreshingly modern.
