Fodor's Expert Review La Botica
Mexico City
Bars
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This lively mezcaleria played a big role in launching the mezcal boom when it opened in 2005, and it continues to stock a carefully curated selection of mezcals sourced directly from producers in Oaxaca. Try the pechuga (distilled with fruit and a chicken breast), the añejo (aged), or the cremas (liqueurs). There are additional locations in Hipódromo Condesa, Roma, Juárez, El Centro, and Coyoacán.
