History
Tacos combine pre-Hispanic corn tortillas with later influences—regional fillings reflect immigrant and indigenous culinary exchanges; mezcal originates in Oaxaca and carries regional agave traditions.
Conservation
Look for mezcales produced from sustainable agave farming or artisanal producers who avoid overharvesting; minimize single-use plastics by bringing a reusable bottle.

Carry government ID & small cash
You must show ID for alcohol tastings and smaller taquerías may prefer cash for quick items or tips.
Hydrate between tastings
Mezcal is higher-proof and tasting multiple pours can be dehydrating—sip water between samples.
Pace your mezcal
Taste slowly and ask the maestro for recommended order—start with lighter, floral mezcals before the smoky or aged ones.
Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes
The route is mainly flat pavement but involves short walks and standing at busy counters—supportive shoes make the tour easier.
