Chupito: Michelin Bib Gourmand Mexican in Mount Pleasant
Chupito is a Mexican restaurant and cocktail bar at 2450 Yukon Street in Mount Pleasant. It started in June 2021 as a seasonal patio bar in the alley behind La Taqueria on West Hastings, and moved indoors to Yukon Street in April 2025.

About Chupito
Chupito shares roots and some ownership with La Taqueria, and now occupies half of La Taqueria's Yukon Street space.
The Yukon Street menu leans toward Mexican coastal cooking, so expect more seafood. The cocktails focus on Mexican flavours, local ingredients and sustainability.
