Atarraya

Gabriela Campos of Atarraya is the MICHELIN Guide Mexico 2025 Exceptional Cocktails Award Winner

"At the breezy surfer bar in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, I observe that every cocktail Gabriela Campos designs for Atarraya aims to tell a story through ingredients and preparation. The Xóchitl, for instance, is a mezcal cocktail with the bright hue of a marigold that evokes the legend of that traditional flower’s birth; a totomoxtle ash syrup ties the drink to the pre-Columbian era, and the mezcal is infused with the petals for 36 hours — a focus on time that points to death, where the legend finds its theme. Campos, this year’s MICHELIN Guide Mexico Exceptional Cocktails Award Winner, arrived in town as a backpacker and found her “chosen family” at the restaurant, and as she says, “I always find inspiration in something and build the base of our signature cocktails from there,” often drawing on experiences of hers or those of the Atarraya team." - The MICHELIN Guide
