"For an intimate, speakeasy-style mezcaleria experience without all the crowds, head to Techo on Manor Road. The ceilings are low, the room is dark—minus the prayer candles glowing on each of the small iron tables—and there’s a cute rooftop patio that overlooks a relatively quiet side street. As you might expect, the menu is agave-leaning, but in addition to mezcal flights served in clay copitas, you can also grab watermelon mezcal daiquiris and maracuya margaritas. There’s no food here, but they’ll let you order chips and queso from Mi Madre’s downstairs. To find Techo, enter from the side patio of Schoolhouse Pub, a more casual bar from the same owners that we also like a lot." - nicolai mccrary
