Tequila
Codigo Rosa x Puesto Private Reserve (1 Liter)
A blend of 10 different Codigo Rosa Barrels, curated by our Bar & Spirits Director, Beau du Bois. Bright citrus and big agave notes at the beginning of the palate that are followed by fruits notes like strawberries and peaches.
Volcan Blanco
"Shows a classic but complex aroma of baked pineapple, fresh jalapeño, and a blast of sea salt minerality. The palate is on the lighter side with some intermingling of citrus, fine herbs, and tropical fruit. There's an assertive finish of dried pepper and another blast of brine." - Distiller.com
4 Copas Blanco
"A massively aromatic tequila: sun-baked earth, dried herbs, grilled nectarines, olive brine, crisp citrus. On the palate the touch is delicate but full-bodied, with notes of almond flower, white pepper and cinnamon joining in. Tangy, lip-smacking and generous - a nearly perfect expression of agave." - Distiller.com
Fortaleza Blanco
"A tequila that manages to be fairly balanced in its earthy, vegetal, and sweet agave notes. It has an average mouth-feel without being slick or too sweet. Raw pineapple, green olives, and lime round out the palate. The finish is only slightly bitter and is dry, but not bone dry. This is a tequila that has a solid character and is a good yardstick by which to measure other valley tequilas." - Distiller.com
Casamigos Blanco (1 Liter)
"Sweet vanilla and ripe agave greet you on the nose with a slight vegetal nature and mint accompanying it. The tequila is clean and minty on your palate with full, chewy body. The tequila is flavorful without a harsh bitterness, but does have a fair amount of sweetness on the palate and finish." - Distiller.com
Don Julio Reposado
"Offers less citrus on the nose than the Blanco, and the agave component now comes across as more cooked. The oak seems also to have tamed the original spirit's fruit and citrus (though the pepper remains) while adding a slight bitterness." - Distiller.com
Casa Noble Anejo
"The aroma is slightly muted nose but does have the familiar notes of vanilla as the reposado and blanco expressions. The palate, however, shows much more vegetation. The extra year of rest has done this tequila well. Notes of poblano pepper seep out of the cream-soda style palate and finishes with a slight bit of hay and straw bitterness." - Distiller.com

Mezcal
El Silencio Espadin
"There's definitely a little mustiness to this mezcal with some earthy clay notes, moderate smoke, and fresh green herbs." - Distiller.com
Banhez Pechuga
Bozal Barril
El Jolgorio Madrecuishe

I went there for lunch and everything was fantastic. The gal that waited on me was very friendly, the food was amazing. I'm giving it a four-star because at the very end of my meal it appeared that a manager was issuing disciplinary action to an employee, one table away from where I was sitting. I thought that was extremely unprofessional.

The tacos were good (pricey!), but the chips (that are not complimentary) were on the bland side. Even though they weren't busy, the server wasn't very attentive, and I had to flag them down to remind them about the soda I ordered. Tbh, there are much better mexican food restaurants (especially for the price) and I wouldn't choose to come here again.

It is a great place for happy hour and has a great atmosphere. I enjoyed all the fantastic hors d’oeuvres, and the service was excellent. Everyone who works here is delighted to be here. Also, the drinks were well-made
