About Meximodo + Its Origins
View this post on Instagram
With other eateries and bars like Le Malt Lounge in Colonia and Le Malt Royale in Red Bank, founder Saurabh Abrol is no stranger to the New Jersey dining scene. In 2023, after being asked by his daughters, "Dad, can you make a restaurant we can actually go to?" Saurabh began his latest project, as per Meximodo's website.
Intending to create a genuine Mexican restaurant, Saurabh and his team took a trip to Mexico City for field research in April 2023. They visited the infamous Coyoacan Market, took a tour through Tequila, Mexico, and dined at various restaurants. The team learned about different spices, chilies, and other ingredients that would make for a truly authentic menu.

In November 2023, Saurabh opened Meximodo Cocina Mexicana + Tequila Bar at 5 Pearl Street, Metuchen. Now, Meximodo, which serves up a wide-ranging menu of classic and innovative Mexican eats and four different dining spaces, is one of the most sought-after Mexican restaurants in Northern New Jersey. According to its website, Meximodo plans to expand all across the Garden State, with the future Jersey City location being the restaurant's next venture.
