The Carajillo
A shot of espresso, a pour of Licor 43. Bold, warm, and a little indulgent. It's the cocktail this whole place is named after, and we take it seriously: a whole lineup of them, from the classic Tradicional to the dessert-leaning pours. Can't choose? Order the Flight and taste a few. You'll find them at Carajillo Mexican Cuisine & Bar in Downtown Las Vegas, steps from Fremont Street.
What Is a Carajillo?
The Carajillo is a coffee cocktail with roots in Spain and a home in Mexico: espresso combined with a liqueur, classically Licor 43, the golden Spanish vanilla liqueur, poured over ice. The hot espresso meets the cold sweet spirit, and you get something layered, aromatic, and dangerously easy to drink.
It's an after-dinner pour that's good any time of night: bold enough to wake you up, smooth enough to keep you sitting a while longer. We wanted the restaurant to feel like that, so we named it after the drink.
