Cocktails by mixologist

Cesar Mateo

Cesar moved to LA from Oaxaca at 11. He started out washing dishes, got his shot as a barback, and worked his way up behind the bars at Copa de Oro in Santa Monica and Bar Claxon downtown before managing the bar at Guerrilla Tacos.

He joined Lenny's Casita during the ghost-kitchen days, became family, and drove the push for a full liquor license. This list is years of his work.
