About Hellbender

A taxidermied jaguar in the corner sets the tone immediately: loud, chaotic, and fun. The bar leans heavily into agave spirits, pitcher margaritas, spicy mezcal cocktails, and brunch bloody marias strong enough to reset your afternoon, while the kitchen backs it all up with fried Oaxacan cheese and habanero-pineapple butter prawns. The room gets crowded fast and stays that way for a reason.

What to order at Hellbender

  • Skirt Steak

    $42

    Charred spring onion and guacachile salsa — the most confident plate on the menu.

  • Head-on Wild Gulf Prawns

    $22

    Habanero pineapple butter over whole head-on prawns — tropical heat with real sweetness.

  • Fried Oaxacan Cheese

    $14

    Crispy shell, stretchy interior — like a mozzarella stick that went to Mexico.
