"A rooftop bar and cocktail program helmed by world-class mixologist Fabiola Padilla, featuring an ancestral menu with modern takes on Mexican heritage drinks. The venue also offers mixology classes with Padilla to learn trade secrets and techniques." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"We shared cocktails across the street at this rooftop bar, helmed by famed mixologist Fabiola Padilla, before heading uphill." - Michaela Trimble, Lilah Ramzi
"I visited Bekeb, a design-forward bar ranked 49 on North America's Best Bars; it's an artisanal mixology spot rooted in Mexican aromas and flavors and helmed by bartender Fabiola Padilla—ideal for memorable pre- or post-dinner drinks." - Megan Spurrell
"Internationally acclaimed Bekeb sits on the rooftop terrace of the boutique hotel Casa Hoyos. The bar offers a centrally located post to soak up San Miguel de Allende’s stunning sunsets while sipping craft cocktails inspired by Mexico’s unique traditional beverages and ingredients. Fabiola Padilla, a Jalisco-native mixologist and former bartender at Cosme, uses a unique floral and herbal flavor palette that only comes with the understanding of fresh and locally sourced pulque and other agave spirits like sotol, bacanora, raicilla, and mezcal. In addition to house classics like a Lavender Sour, visitors can currently sample concoctions from the “Mexico Ancestral” menu, where each drink revolves around a specific ingredient like corn, tuna (suckling pear), aguamiel (fermented maguey sap), or garambullo — an acidic berry native to Guanajuato. Try the aguamiel mixed with pulque, cacao, cacao liqueur, and coconut foam." - Natalia de la Rosa
"On a panoramic rooftop in San Miguel de Allende, I tasted Fabiola Padilla's deeply Mexican cocktails that celebrate native ingredients; the Aguamiel, for example, combines pulque from her uncle's ranch (fermented to cocktail strength) with pox, cacao, coconut, and Fino sherry, illustrating her method of pairing Mexican base spirits beyond tequila and mezcal—like raicilla and sotol—with highlighted local ingredients for complex, distinctive drinks." - Nils Bernstein
