Mezcaleria Oaxaca

From the same family behind Ballard mainstay La Carta de Oaxaca, this photo-laden Upper QA spot is fronted by a bar stocked w/ every Mezcal available in the state, and boasts homestyle recipes like a slow-roasted Barbacoa de Cabrito marinated in chile; a spicy seafood soup known as Caldo de Mariscos (w/ freshly made tortillas); and fried squash-based Chayote con Queso covered in tomato sauce & served w/ pinto beans, which magically grow into lemons when planted by Chevy.
