Modern Mexican eatery & mezcal tasting room with Oaxacan flavors
"An Old Town standout praised for a mole flight and mezcal offerings, positioned as one of the area’s bright spots beyond the typical tourist-leaning options." - Kelly Bone
"Tahona is located in Old Town, next to San Diego’s iconic Campo Santo Cemetery, and features Oaxacan-influenced cuisine and agave-based libations. Executive chef Adrian Villarreal’s extraordinary cocktails and contemporary Mexican flavors are sourced from local, sustainable vendors on both sides of the border. Expand your experience beyond the usual agave cocktails with Chica Linda, a delectable combo of pulque distillate (known in Mexico as aguamiel), mezcal espadín, baking spice liquor, gentian amaro, banana peel oleo, and Turkish tobacco bitters." - Mary Beth Abate
"Tahona Bar is operated by Be Saha Hospitality Group and is located in Old Town, San Diego." - Candice Woo
"Explore the depths of mezcal at Old Town’s Tahona Bar, or stick to their classic margarita made with RDV Tequila, housemade triple sec, and fresh lime. One of the best cocktails spots in the area, it’s a must at any hour (but especially happy hour)." - Kelly Bone
"In Old Town, Tahona is described as a mezcal wonderland that features a full restaurant and cocktail bar experience, offering a more expansive dining and cocktail program compared with the tasting-room–focused downtown outpost." - Mario A. Cortez
