Tlecan

Small, intimate mescaleria that is just a few blocks from La Clandestina, with a similar focus and clientele, but a smaller, but exceptionally well focused mezcal list. Waiters are very knowledgable and can explain the types of maguey used by a particular brand and how it expresses itselfe in appearance, aroma, and flavor. In addition to outstanding artesanal mezcals from Oaxaca, they have a few bottles of mezcal sub-styles, such as bacanora (usually found only in Sonora) and raicilla (usually found only in Jalisco). A good bar for the curious epicure to learn about mezcal.
