The date

Cafe Mexico has held down Market Square on Store Street since 1985, doing rustic cantina warmth before it was a marketing strategy. The real draw is the back wall: over a hundred bottles of mezcal and tequila, and bartenders who narrate the smoky ones and the dangerously sippable ones without pretension. Hit happy hour, order a flight to share, and compare tasting notes past appetizers.
