17 Tequila Temples With Outstanding Agave-Based Drinks

"Alex Stupak’s Mexican-ish mini-chain Empellon finds the right balance between comfort and innovation in Al Pastor, its accessible East Village outpost hawking stoner-friendly fare from lamb shoulder tacos to jalapeño poppers with a bacon-cream cheese filling. It’s all available at the long, rustic bar, to be washed down with a simple margarita or a pour of a bracing, complex tequila like Siete Leguas Blanco." - Paul Schrodt, Eater Staff
