Tikila Tacos & Mezcal – Knightdale

Tikila Tacos & Mezcal is a taco and mezcal bar on Money Ct. in Knightdale. It is the second location of a restaurant that first opened in Wake Forest in March 2023, and the team behind the Triangle’s Mi Cancun runs both stores.

Tacos lead the menu, with quesabirria, Baja fish and vegetarian versions on the board. Guests order food at the counter and pick up drinks from a separate bar, which keeps a weeknight dinner quick and casual. Mezcal and tequila drive the cocktail list at that bar.
