📊About EL MESON TEQUILERIA
EL MESON TEQUILERIA reported mixed-beverage sales at 2038 S LAMAR BLVD, AUSTIN, Texas 78704 in Travis County. Its last reported month was October 2024, at $8,745. The Comptroller record stops there. A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open.
Across its filing history this location reported $2,517,770 over 174 monthly returns, May 2010 through October 2024 (2010 – 2024). That is a lifetime sum, not a monthly figure — the two are separated everywhere on this page. Its strongest single month on record was March 2012, at $27,644.
The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for this location as having ended on 2024-10-08. That is the state saying the permit period closed, which is stronger evidence than a simple gap in filings — but it still describes a permit, not a front door.

📈Monthly Receipts, May 2010 – October 2024
174 monthly returns filed by EL MESON TEQUILERIA. Months with no filing are absent from the series rather than plotted as zero — a missing month means the venue did not file, which is not the same as reporting nothing. A month that was filed with no receipts is a real filing and is plotted, on the baseline and marked, because that too is a different fact from either of the other two.
Monthly Revenue by Category
174 months of data • Hover or tap to explore1 of these 174 months was filed as a return reporting no receipts — plotted on the baseline and ringed, because a filed $0 return is a real filing, not revenue. Months with no return filed at all are not in this series: the line skips them rather than dropping to the baseline, so a gap in filing never reads as a month of zero sales.
Annual Comparison
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year with fewer than 12 filed months is marked — a part-year total is not comparable to a full one.
📅Year by Year
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year-over-year change is shown only where both years are effectively complete — comparing a full year against a four-month stub would be a fabricated collapse.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
- Is EL MESON TEQUILERIA still open?
- The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for EL MESON TEQUILERIA as having ended on 2024-10-08, with its final return filed for October 2024. That is the state stating the permit period closed, which is the strongest closure signal in this dataset — but it describes a permit, not a front door. Its last month with receipts was October 2024, at $8,745. A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open.
- How much does EL MESON TEQUILERIA make? (October 2024)
- EL MESON TEQUILERIA reported $8,745 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for October 2024, -18.6% against September 2024 and -37.0% against October 2023. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $2,517,770 across 174 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue.
- Where was EL MESON TEQUILERIA located in AUSTIN?
- EL MESON TEQUILERIA filed mixed-beverage returns for 2038 S LAMAR BLVD, AUSTIN, TX 78704, in Travis County. The address is taken from the venue's filings, the most recent of which covers October 2024.
- What did EL MESON TEQUILERIA sell?
- Over November 2023 – October 2024 (the last 12 reported months), EL MESON TEQUILERIA reported 92% liquor, 3% wine, 5% beer and 0% cover charges. The largest share was liquor. Only alcoholic beverage sales and cover charges are reported to the Comptroller — food sales are not in this dataset.
- Is EL MESON TEQUILERIA busy? How does it rank among Austin bars?
- This dataset tracks mixed-beverage receipts, not foot traffic, so there is no direct measure of how busy EL MESON TEQUILERIA is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for October 2024, EL MESON TEQUILERIA ranked #1479 of 1863 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #104 of 121 venues in ZIP 78704. A higher-ranked venue sells more alcohol in a month; it is not a measure of how crowded it is at any given time, and that is a single month's rank, not a lifetime one.
- What time period does the EL MESON TEQUILERIA data cover?
- 174 reported months, May 2010 through October 2024. Mixed-beverage receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes; the newest month currently published for the Austin metro is July 2026. Every figure on this page names the exact window it covers, because a single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities.
- Where does EL MESON TEQUILERIA's revenue data come from?
- The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts publishes Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, a monthly record every Texas mixed-beverage permit holder is required by law to file. This page reads that dataset directly and adds no estimates, no modelled figures and no user reviews.
ℹ️How to Read This Page
What mixed-beverage gross receipts are
Every bar, restaurant and venue in Texas holding a mixed-beverage permit must report its monthly alcoholic-beverage sales to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Those returns cover liquor, wine, beer and cover charges. They do not cover food, retail or non-alcoholic sales, so these figures are a slice of a venue's business, not its revenue.
Why every number here names a window
A single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities, and averaging a venue's whole history produces a number that has never been true of any actual month. Each figure on this page therefore carries the exact period it covers. Where a comparison needs history this venue does not have — a full prior year, two complete twelve-month windows, three complete calendar years for a seasonal index — the comparison is omitted and the reason is stated, rather than shown as a zero.
How current is this?
Receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes. The newest month currently published for the Austin metro is July 2026, and every recency judgement on this page is measured against that month rather than against today's date — so a late publication by the Comptroller never changes a venue's status. EL MESON TEQUILERIA last filed for October 2024, 21 months behind it.
What a stopped filing does and does not mean
A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open. A gap can also be a remodel, a seasonal close, a permit transfer or a slow filer. This page never states that a business is closed; it states when it last filed.
