Restaurants and Bars in Oakhurst

Mezcalitos is more than your average Tex-Mex restaurant. Though you'll find some familiar favorites, they also offer entrees featuring slow roasted meats, hand-rolled tamales and more. More than a few have become addicted to their signature green rice, made with a puree of spinach cilantro and poblano. The environment is another selling point, it's dark and intimate with a fun bar, Mexican decor and an array of colorful lanterns. They also have a large patio.

Don't forget to try the sangria, which has a spicy hint of cinnamon.

Matador is your typical cheap Mexican restaurant offering all the classic combos alongside a variety of tacos. Go here for a casual atmosphere, snacking on chips and salsa (the regular stuff is great but their salsa trio is worth stepping up for), pitchers of margaritas and large plates of your favorite ​Tex-Mex dishes. With drink specials, trivia nights and a great outdoor patio, Matador is a neighborhood standby.​

Mojo serves up gigantic slices and pies for dining in or delivery at their Oakhurst outpost. Flavors range from classic to creative and the crust gets a sprinkling of sesame seeds. The outdoor patio overlooking the Square is a popular spot and often overflowing on sunny afternoons. Mojo also serves a limited pasta menu, wings, and subs.

Universal Joint (or U-Joint for short) plays the role of a neighborhood bar, a frequent gathering spot for Oakhurst residents. A large patio, comforting bar food like burgers, sandwiches and quesadillas and TVs that always have the big game make this the "Cheers" of Oakhurst.

Steinbeck's Ale House is a teeny, tiny pub with upscale bar food, a great beer selection and frequent live music. If you're lucky enough to get a table on a busy night, try out their rotating daily specials and order something you've never heard of before on draft.

Kavarna serves as the go-to coffee shop for Oakhurst, and they also serve beer, wine, and sandwiches. It's a great meeting spot for business or pleasure. Kavarna frequently has live music and displays a rotating selection of local art.
