"El Techo is the good-looking rooftop restaurant of El Destilado, boasting views of the famous Santo Domingo church and murals by local Oaxacan artists. Co-owner Jason Cox is also the founder of the agave spirits brand 5 Sentidos, and along with spirits from his own roster, he offers a stellar lineup of mezcales from other small brands across Mexico. Some favorites from 5 Sentidos are the mezcales produced by Alberto Martínez from Santa Catarina Albarradas and those by Atenogenes García from Miahuatlán. El Techo also features a very tasty and unfussy menu of tacos, snacks, and other easygoing fare from chef Joseph Gilbert." - Niki Nakazawa
