San Diego’s Tahona Bar Opening Mezcal Tasting Room and Bottle Shop in Tijuana Mercado Mezcal Bar | Eater San Diego

"Just around the corner at 1248 Avenida Constitucion, bottle shop Tahona Mercado will stock a large selection of agave spirits and other Mexican items — including chocolate sourced from Chiapas and crafts from Mexico’s southern states — and will serve as the company’s distribution headquarters; creating that distribution model was important because there was previously no direct channel or distributor representing mezcal producers in Oaxaca, so the company contacted the makers to build a link between Tijuana and Oaxaca." - Mario A.
