This little-known NJ restaurant broke a world record — for tequila: ‘It’s pretty surreal’
NY Post
There’s nothing to be salty about here.
When Saurabh Abrol first came up with the concept for his restaurant Meximodo, he knew aiming big was worth a shot — but breaking a world record wasn’t on his bingo card.
“It’s pretty surreal,” Abrol told The Post of his Metuchen, New Jersey eatery. “It just feels great that we were able to achieve such a feat that only one out of a million restaurants can achieve.”
In late July, Meximodo Cocina Mexicana & Tequila Bar in downtown Metuchen — population 15,000 — was awarded the Guinness World Records title for “most varieties of agave spirits commercially available” in a restaurant with over 1,000 bottles in the collection — 1,033 to be exact.
But they never thought this would be the accolade they accepted — especially so soon after opening in November 2023.
“Even before opening, we knew that we wanted to have the largest collection of tequila and mezcals in New Jersey. It really started with that,” shared Abrol, CEO & founder of the restaurant’s parent company Le Malt Hospitality Group.
