Mayahuel

Mention tequila and most people will probably think about the worm in a bottle or a margarita. Others simply won't touch it because they don't like the taste. But, at Mayahuel, tequila is treated like a fine wine that is to be savored. Opened in 2010 by tequila aficionado Marco Dominguez, Mayahuel attracts people through their tequila tasting sessions where, like wine, those interested can learn about its different qualities - smell, aroma, taste, and essence. Named after the goddess of fertility, Mayahuel may just be the place where tequila leaves its sullied reputation behind. -Stephen Lebovits
