Specializing in artisanal Mexican spirits and agave, tastings available
"Opening in February at National City's Parco complex, this boutique — an extension of Tahona in Old Town and Tahona Baja and the brand's third location after branches in San Francisco and Tijuana — is dedicated to spotlighting traditional mezcal producers in and around Oaxaca. Operated by Be Saha Hospitality Group (whose founder Amar Harrag has developed bars and restaurants including Wormwood, Botanica, and Oculto 477), the 500-square-foot retail store is designed to resemble a living room and will display a collection of mezcal and other agave spirits alongside Mexican crafts and snacks; it also features a tasting area for sampling lesser-seen bottles and will host educational events." - Candice Woo
"Tahona planted its flag on Tijuana’s Calle Sexta earlier his year, establishing the largest mezcal bottle selection on the lively downtown strip. Stop in to sip on a few of the over 300 top shelf selections from Mexico’s best regarded distillers. The shop side of the business offers a large selection of bottles to take home with chocolates from Chiapas and other Mexican bites and crafts." - Mario A. Cortez
"Just around the corner at 1248 Avenida Constitucion, bottle shop Tahona Mercado will stock a large selection of agave spirits and other Mexican items — including chocolate sourced from Chiapas and crafts from Mexico’s southern states — and will serve as the company’s distribution headquarters; creating that distribution model was important because there was previously no direct channel or distributor representing mezcal producers in Oaxaca, so the company contacted the makers to build a link between Tijuana and Oaxaca." - Mario A.
