Reviews Summary
Mezcaleria Don Trejo offers a vibrant atmosphere with live music and a unique garden setting, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists.

"My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here it was absolutely imaqulent. The live music and performance was top tier. The selection of food was fabulous and the mezcal cocktails was the highlight of the night ."

"Yesterday I went inside a place called bistro Cafeina but they lead me to the connected place Mezcaleria Don Trejo. At first it looked nice but when I looked around this place was full of mold. The table was next to the toilet. I didn't feel very welcome. Still decided to try the food. Pizza wasn't bad but my drink wasn't cooled so they fixed it with a glass full of ice which made my coke taste like water. I would definitely not recommend this place and won't be back anytime soon. I feel deceived."

"I wasn’t going to review badly until I saw other comments on here saying similar things.
I was originally told my wine was 100 pesos a glass, only to see on the bill it was 150. I wouldn’t have kicked up a fuss but the wine was honestly terrible.
We then got chased down the street by the waiter requesting a tip!! Shouting at us as if we were some sort of thieves.
Don’t bother going here, massive tourist trap.
The band was good but wasn’t impressed listening to Oasis in Mexico."

🍸 Don Trejo Mezcaleria (Calz. de Los Frailes 212 – Google Maps) – This joint next to Cafeina is probably the most popular bar in Valladolid. There is a welcoming garden in the back with large bed-style seating, or you can grab a table near the small but active dance floor, which pulsates to the beats of salsa music on weekends.

Cafeina & Mezcalería Don Trejo (they’re one in the same) for a solid mix of Mexican and international fare in a dimly lit, lively cantina setting with both indoor and outdoor/garden seating. Located in a historic converted building right along Calzada de los Frailes, expect nightly live music here and plenty of mezcal.

This bar and grill is the place to come if you’re craving something other than Mexican food. On one side they serve up tasty hamburgers and pizza on wooden cutting boards. We highly recommend the spinach dip and the brie and chipotle chicken pizza.
