Chapulín Cantina

"At this colorful Oaxacan restaurant on SoCo, you can add michelada mix to any beer or tepache, even the non-alcoholic options. Chapulin’s house mix combines tangy, spicy Sangrita with lime, ice, and a salted rim, which pairs well with its mezcal selection. With a wide selection of mezcals and tequilas to fuel its cocktails and Mexican dishes, including various moles and queso flameado, Chapulín is a wonderful place to dine-in and unwind." - Reese Oxner

"Similar to sibling restaurant Licha’s Cantina, this Bouldin Creek Oaxacan restaurant’s happy hour features $8 cocktails and appetizers like quesadillas and tacos. It runs from 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler

"The Travis Heights Mexican restaurant focuses on Oaxacan cuisine complemented by a lengthy mezcal list sourced from the Mexican state. There’s also a number of mezcal cocktails, such as Chapulin Colorado with watermelon-infused mezcal, an orange liqueur, lime, serrano pepper powder, and a Tajin rim. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Clara Wang

"Chapulín Cantina is known for exploring Oaxacan cuisine and boasts an extensive mezcal selection, offering ten mezcal cocktails along with other agave spirits like tequila, sotol, and raicilla." - Clara Wang

"There are lots of options at the Bouldin Creek Oaxacan restaurant that took over Enoteca Vespaio. The $40, three-course dinner menu is a chance to try already-popular menu items at a discount. Choose from appetizer options like memelas or yellowfin tuna tostada; entrees like chipotle-marinated chicken, grilled shrimp, or roasted vegetables in mole blanco; and tres leches cake or mango flan for dessert. There’s also a $20 lunch option. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
