If you have visited downtown Mesa recently, chances are you may have overlooked one of the hottest cocktail and dining venues to open in the past year: Espíritu. A collaboration between Armando Hernandez and Nadia Holguin of Tacos Chiwas, Rene Andrade of Bacanora, and Andrade’s cousin, Roberto Centeno, Espíritu is quietly tucked into a narrow slice of Main Street between Proof Bakery and Main Harvest Market. But don’t judge Espíritu for its size, as there are big things going on inside. Join us as we chat with Roberto about how Epiritu came to be, and how they took an award for a top 50 new restaurant in the country.
