Tequilas & Mezcales

Tequila and mezcal are the Mexican beverages by excellence.

Tequila

Tequila is an appellation of origin drink, which determines the geographical location where it can be produced.

These areas are located in 181 municipalities, distributed in 5 states of Mexico: Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit and Tamaulipas.

In Taco y Tequila we serve an wide selection of tequilas with “Sangrita”, a tequila chaser that was created specially to balance the flavor of this drink in the palate.

If you want to try different tequilas in the same classification: blanco, reposado, añejo, cristalino o extra añejo, order a “tequila sampler”.

Mezcal

Mezcal is an authentic Mexican distilled beverage and, even though Oaxaca is considered the “world capital of mezcal”, the truth is that this beverage is protected by its appellation of origin, which covers the states of Guerrero, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, Zacatecas, Durango y Tamaulipas.

Mezcal is an alcoholic beverage, made with any Mexican native agave plant. The word mezcal comes from the nahuatls dialect, which means “agave cooked in oven”

For the Mexican indigenous cultures, Mezcal is not only an alcoholic drink, but a spiritual beverage as well.

In Taco y Tequila we serve our Mezcales with orange, worm salt and grasshoppers.

Do not forget to try our Mezcal Sampler, to try the best versions of this beverage.

Tequila Blanco (2 oz.)

A white un-aged Tequila, translucent and bottled right after distillation. It’s considered the purest Tequila and the reason why it’s a connoisseur’s favorite.

Tequila Reposado (2 oz.)

A white Tequila that has been aged for at least two months in oak or holm oak barrels. It’s smoother than white Tequila and ideal for shots.

Tequila Añejo (2 oz.)

Tequila aged for at least a year in oak or holm oak barrels. Darker than the reposados with stronger notes of wood. The aging process darkens the Tequila to an amber color and the flavor becomes smoother, richer and more complex.

Tequila Cristalino (2 oz.)

Crystalline Tequila belongs to a new class. The crystallines are double distilled añejos, made with a unique process that eliminates the bitter flavors and creates an unbeatable smoothness and attractive silver color.

Tequila Extra Añejo (2 oz.)

A new class of Tequila was introduced in 2006 with smooth and complex flavors. Extra añejo Tequila is aged more than three years in 600ml. oak or holm barrels. Extended aging process makes this Tequila a much darker mahogany color and as rich as any other quality aged spirits.

Mezcal (2 oz.)

Mezcal is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from any agave plant native to Mexico. The word mezcal comes from nahuatl mexcalli, which means “ovencooked agave”. Mezcal comes from any of the seven Mezcal producing states in Mexico: Oaxaca, Guerrero, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, Zacatecas, Durango, Tamaulipas.
