"Nestled amongst the coco palms and glassy swells of Seminyak, Bali, lives the tropical oasis known as MOTEL MEXICOLA," the Bali.com says.

"Put your thinking shoes on and envision the lovechild of 1960s Acapulco and Ricky Ricardo (from “I Love Lucy”) on a belly full of Huichole endorsed Peyote and seven lashings of Mezcal. Hopefully you are not thinking of a motel in Miami with an all you can eat buffet?!

"Rest assured we are not your average Motel and if you want to sleep over, then try your luck. At least until there is some sort of reform on marriage, we propose the sacred union between you “the customer” and us, “the-f$%&-yeah-amazing-antojeria-and-tequileria”.

"Motel Mexicola brings a touch of Latin magic to Seminyak, with a choice of tacos, churros, tostadas, aguas frescas and those all-important agave spirits. It's a seriously fun place to while away an evening, and the drinks are invariably delicious," The World's Best 50 Restaurants says.

"Try the ‘Despacito’, which mixes gin, charred pineapple, agave, lime and absinthe, or, maybe, the ‘Pornstar Mojito’, which laces everyone's favourite ice-and-mint concoction with coconut then serves alongside a shot of prosecco.

"There's also a selection of shooters and another of non-alcoholic drinks. It’s all about that balance."

"Motel Mexicola says, “The pioneer behind Mexico’s first cocktail bar, Benja, has revolutionized the country’s bar culture with his originality and global experience," The Bali Sun reports.

“As the nation’s most prominent bar personality, Benja’s epic career has taken him around the world, spanning countless awards, guest residencies, places on the judging panel of the world’s most prestigious bartending comps, and now to a Master of Food and Beverage Management from the University of Barcelona.”

"“Joining him on the trans-pacific journey is his wife, DJ Sussyoh, who will be parking up for the evening behind the DJ booth with her signature feel-good, dancefloor-making tempo. Together, they’ll bring a dose of legendary, open-arms party energy, CDMX-style.”
