Translated as “house of heat,” Temazcal Tequila Cantina, brings upscale traditional Mexican flavors from south-of-the-border straight to Boston’s Seaport District.

Combining old school cooking techniques and timeless recipes with of-the-moment technology, Temazcal bridges the gap between old and new. Diners can get familiar with each authentic dish via their iPad menus, perusing the unique regional history, photographs, recipes and nutritional facts for each and every traditional Mexican specialty that comes out of the kitchen. In true tequila cantina tradition, the sprawling, 52-foot bar offers a selection of 300 tequilas, exclusive margaritas and cocktails, and a distinctive wine list.

Temazcal makes the most of its Liberty Wharf location with floor-to-ceiling windows and an expansive outdoor patio overlooking Boston Harbor. There are even public docks that make the restaurant accessible by land or by sea.
