"This intimate Mexico City-inspired bar is the type of place that connoisseurs of Latin American liquors can squeeze in shoulder-to-shoulder and have a stellar night making new friends while tasting sotol and bacanora. Those who are seeking a little more space can try out the festive sidewalk patio in warmer months; it’s the ideal spot to snack on tetelas and cactus salad with grasshoppers while drinking mezcal-based variations on classic cocktails." - Eater Staff
