Right in the center of Huntington village, Besito brings warmth, elegance, and the bold flavors of Mexico together in a way that’s both sophisticated and deeply comforting. Known for its glowing ambiance, handcrafted cocktails, and deeply seasoned dishes, this is not your average taco night — this is Mexican food elevated, with soul and style.

From the moment you walk in, Besito makes an impression. Soft amber lighting, rustic wooden accents, and flickering candlelight set the mood for something special — whether you’re seated at a quiet corner booth or gathered with friends around a table filled with small plates and margaritas. The vibe is intimate but lively, with upbeat music and a hum of conversation filling the space.

The menu pays tribute to regional Mexican cooking while adding a refined twist. Start with guacamole prepared tableside, still one of the best in town, or go for the sweet corn esquites or tuna tartare tostadas. Entrées like pollo enchiladas suizas, braised short rib tacos, and the chile relleno showcase layers of flavor without overcomplication. Ingredients are fresh, sauces are house-made, and the plating is clean and thoughtful.

The drink menu is just as dialed in. The tequila selection is extensive, and margaritas — from spicy to smoky to sweet — are handcrafted and consistent. The sangria is fruit-forward and refreshing, and the bar staff brings a high level of care to every pour.

The crowd at Besito is polished but approachable — couples on dates, groups celebrating, locals catching up. The service is warm and attentive, with staff who are well-versed in the menu and always ready to recommend a dish or a drink pairing.

If you’re looking for an elevated Mexican dining experience with just the right amount of energy and elegance, Besito in Huntington is one of those places that delivers — from first sip to final bite.
