tlecan mezcal bar

Ranked No. 23 in The World's 50 Best Bars 2025, tlecan mezcal bar in Roma Norte proves that a tightly focused, locally rooted drinks programme can play on the world stage — that ranking matters because it signals a reliably exceptional mezcal-led experience curated by experts.

Co‑owner and head bartender Eli Martínez Bello, winner of the Altos Bartenders' Bartender Award 2025, runs a back bar of rare agave distillates — mezcal alongside bacanora, sotol, pox and raicilla — many sourced directly from small, often female, producers.

The Paloma Blanca and Pulque Colada are the sort of signatures that show how traditional ingredients are reworked with technical finesse. Expect mostly standing room on Av. Álvaro Obregón, a carved stone 'Disc of the Death' and staff ready with guided agave tastings rather than a long cocktail list. Mid‑priced and lively, it’s the place to learn about Mexico’s diversity of spirits while drinking extremely well.
